    Oh J, I would totally freak out if that happened to me. I separate all my groceries by bag very clearly, and get twitchy with rage when they don't follow my system.

     

    Does anyone remember that scene from the movie InnerSpace?  The lady puts the eggs in the bag and then throws something heavy on top, like a gallon of milk.

    I'm really pro-credit card in general, if you're able to use them responsibly. 

    I am too but I refuse to do store credit cards.

     Yeah, this is the only one we have, and only because we get all our groceries there.

    TEAM ASH!

     

    We love you <3 

    Ditto this!

    Do you have a Giant Eagle around you? They did my balloons for work and did a wonderful job and they were cheap.

    Sorry you had a sucky experience at Target. I probably would have called the manager when I got home. Did you?

    And if it counts I still love you you and you're pretty!

     

    No.  I hate calling managers.  If I can't complain in person right at the time, the chances of me doing it are slim.

     Maybe send an e-mail?  They probably would like to know one of their employees sucks balls.  Figuratively speaking, of course, although she could suck balls in her free time I guess.

    YES.  I group things on the belt the way I want them bagged.  I hate when they bag them some other way.

     

    Oh, she also tried to shove my meat in with produce, and gave me a nasty look when I asked her to put it in a separate bag.  YES PLEASE put raw meat in with veggies that don't get cooked so I can die.  Please.

    Anna, tell me about secret shopping. I want to do that, but I'm afraid they're all scams.

    Yeah the one I want to get is specifically for gas, like 5% back or something. The Citizens Bank Accelerator one. (I would only use it for gas)

    I went to pick up Chili's to go a couple weeks ago.  The cashier was standing there ignoring me and bragging to a server about how she'd had a secret shopper earlier that day and had "gotten all 10s!".  I was like "Excuse me? If I was your second secret shopper of the day you certainly wouldn't have a passing average at this point."  Not my best moment.

    I do that too! I taught FI, and he has now seen the light.

  • Quick cooking question. I made a quinoa cold salad, but it's way too lemony.  What can I add to balance it out??

    Don't make the lady mad, or bad things will happen.

    I don't get how people don't understand this. F'real. One, when I was a cashier, we had like two hours devoted just to learning how to bag. For two, IT'S CLEARLY SEPARATED FOR A REASON.

    Jess, the thing was I needed my balloons for work so I kept my cool. Mike was with me and he couldn't believe I did.

    Not much! Thyme and parsley.  A diced cucumber and celery.

     

    J- i'm too lazy to cook up more quinoa!

    NO, OLIVE JUICE - I love you if you're reading lips.  Kind of like "I wanna vacuum" looks like "I wanna", well, you know...

  • Evening. We are catching up on old shows (BE, Once Upon a Time), then it's Terra Nova and Neverland.

    I just finished updating my website and e-store, but they aren't live yet. I think technically I could publish them anytime for people to buy but I want to wait for my proof. So there, y'all have to wait.

    My rings leave a mark, but it's my fault. I can't keep my hands still so I'm constantly twirling my rings around on my fingers, and that causes blisters and callouses.

  • Steph, Matt said to add sugar.

  • Pirate that is fantastic.

     

    See, I almost feel bad biitching about this stuff because more of us have been/are currently in customer service and know how much it can suck -but COME ON. There are things you just do NOT do and it makes it harder for people to do their job right and not get yelled at by jaded customers.

    Apparently "elephant shoes" is the same thing? I defer to you though! 

  • Makes sense Meg.  

     Steph, I agree with a little sugar (just a little, you can always add more) and/or some more veggies.
