How's Your Day? Archives

Walmart specializes in this, as well as "the one time" stocking routine. As in, "we stocked that once and we don't no more." So you find a product you like and that you want to purchase again but they stop carrying it.

The end result is that you scour the freaking store looking for a misplaced item, only to find out the stupid store stopped stocking it.

and bacon. don't forget bacon.

 

what part of ND are you in? I spent a week in Jamestown a couple months back. We drove up as far as the Spirit Lake Nation (youth mission trip work) and as far south as Oakes (also mission related).

 

Here is what happened here. We got a confirmed case of MRSA at the high school and a confirmed case of H1N1 at one of the elementary school. Any kid that had symptoms of either was then rubber stamped with the disease label. At least we are no longer on the crazy quarantine the building for 10 days plan. But it is odd coming in after the industrial cleaning crews make an overnight building sanitation.

JoAnna, I hate the crazy stores. it is a pain in the neck to find things and about the time you get used to them... they change again.

Wife's blood sugar has been typically 180s to 200. Things are rough for the picky eater/ chocolate/pizza/ice cream aholic.

 

Oh, I meant to comment on JoAnna's Doritos gripe....well, mine's actually sort of a cheer, but only because they've brought back Black Pepper Jack Doritos, they're awesomestestest! but back when they stopping stocking it I was doing the same griping.

I do understand the idea behind frequent rearranges at stores like Wal-Mart, both the good arguments and the nefarious ones, but I agree I'd rather be able to go through and get what I need quickly

 

yeah, they probably haven't finished their supply of the old design tubs.

and I agree with the plain packaging...I like the idea of simplistic plain packaging, stop trying to compete with the "name" brand....BUT DON'T MAKE IT ALL LOOK THE ELFIN' SAME!!!!!!

 

YUP...

 

Oh my... I shall have to look into that.

 

yeah... I can see that. I get the idea of saving money on packaging, but did they really need to package things in a way that screams cheap or broke?

 

can you imagine (or, I guess, remember) shopping in the old days when everything was in plain packaging?

 

You aren't missing much... the lines at the self-check out lanes is usually just as long as the regular lanes, if there is a problem or glitch, you have to wait for an employee with the proper clearance to fix it, and if you need anything weighed... forget it.

 

okay, that was just pretty cool...had my hands full, some crackers and sprite for my boy, and this fly just kept flying around (hence its name, I reckon), I got frustrated and decided to shoo it with my foot, but did a normal front snap kick anyway, and the fly went flying into the wall, and fell to the floor dead....oh yeah, got my Chuck Norris on tonight!

 

yeah, I typically skip the self-checkout lanes, only exception when one is clear, I have 1-2 items, and gotta get out of there...I know, the whole impetus for the things in the first place, but you'll still have your "buggy-full" people going in them.
Personally, I'd prefer to, I don't know, make the employees do what they're paid to do!

plus, I feel I'm doing my small part of keeping people in jobs by keeping them busy and not letting the stores make me work for them for free by checking myself out.

 

If flies didn't have wings, would they be called walks?

 

dunno....but they'd definitely be easier to catch with chopsticks, Daniel-san!

 

oh, forgot to mentioned, shave last night, on JoAnna's endorsement, with a Sharp blade (the brand, not characteristic )...pretty darn good, probably about a Red Pack Personna for me.
