The Great Depression 2.0

Did you know that The Funny Bone is closing? As well as Bennigans and Steak and Ale? And, yet another bank was robbed this morning?

A Medium Vanilla Shake, please.

Why is it that every McDonalds you will ever go to at night decides to shut down their shake machine right before they sense you are coming to order one?

*said slowly and with a face of disgust* "What....the....F#@K!!!!!"

Is this really necessary? It took me and another team member about an hour and a half to clean up this one aisle Wednesday night. The picture does it no justice considering that I decided to take the picture after I started cleaning it up. Stupid and inconsiderate people piss me off to no end. Most of the bags and luggage on the right hand side were all taken out of their packaging and there are DISPLAYS set up so you can see what they look like! Why? I curse all the people who did this and wish them ill will.

Honestly Ladies

Left, then right. Put one in front of the other and repeat.

Conundrums and Cogitations

People who think they drive race cars. They drive suped up street-legal race cars (aka Civics with tinted windows) and have their exhaust so loud that it sounds like they are driving 100 miles an hour by the time they get into 3rd gear, which is only about 20 feet after their starting point.

Kids who run barefoot across the grass at top speed like they've never stepped on an acorn, a tack or a bottle cap in their life.

Shoppers who leave messes in my store as if they were raised in a barn. I can only imaging what some people's houses look like. Nevermind all the rugs on the floor. You can always see how it will look in your house once you place it down on a shiny, clean, buffed white tile floor. (Then just leave it there. Someone else may need to see it too.) Nevermind all the outdoor chaise chair cushions that have been unrolled. I know it is important see what color it really is. Even though it is only rolled up and you can, ya know, see the color. And nevermind all the opened packages laying around. I swear, manufacturers should just stop putting pictures on boxes and save themselves some ink, money and time. Today, we had to pick a piece of poop off the floor. A piece of POOP!!

Another side...

An eye-opening article about my favorite driver. A good read, I promise.

Just a couple things...

Duke is wearing his 4th of July collar.

I saw a man today wearing an interesting outfit. I'll start at the top. Blue and white plaid shirt tucked into green camoflauge shorts. Black socks and brown dress shoes. No lie.

I'm glad I turned the air on today before I left for work. Nice and cool when I got home. However, they turn the air off at the store at about 8pm, I think. Not cool.

I mowed the lawn, finally. It only took yesterday and today to finish it all.

Has anyone else noticed an unusual amount of flies lately? I don't know if it's just us or not. I thought that maybe something died under our deck because we have boatloads of flies by the back door. I looked and didn't find anything. But at work today, a few people came in and asked if we sold fly tape. So maybe there's some sort of global issue I don't know about it. Wouldn't it be nice if Life had a help desk to call?
