Soft rock bottom
Soft rock bottom Time for more Tales from the Grocery Store . I had an online training class today at 8 so I had to hurry and get my grocery shopping done this morning at 7 . I was in such a rush I forgot BBQ sauce . I’ll have to dip into my reserves . Point is that I don’t usually pay attention to the generic music they play (which is the point of said music being generic) but a few seconds after I walked in I said to myself “are they playing Swedish House Mafia?” I thought my ears were playing tricks on me (like when the make blood come out , oh ears , you scamps) but then the next song was Knife Party . Clearly some EDM person got a hold of the PA system . I saw an employee and I gestured vaguely upwards (you know towards the music) and was like “yeah man” and he scowled and hurried away . So I get up to the checkout line (always good for an anecdote – what will I talk about when Amazon automates grocery shopping ? ) and there’s a dude there that clearly grabbed some random employee and was going NUTS about which lanes were open . Four lanes were open but not the RIGHT four lanes . The punchline is the dude wasn’t even there to buy anything , he just came in for the attached Starbucks . He really cared about the lane situation though . Item #3 – the checkout girl was boobing out like crazy and has happens from time to time she had a cross necklace hanging about said boobs . I always find that interesting . Perhaps I’m being provincial but I feel like showing off your rack and caring a lot about the crucifixion and resurrection of our sweet Lord and savior Jesus Christ are kind of on opposite sides of the spectrum . It’s a pretty smart move if you want to spread the word . You know people are going to look at your tits , why not do a little something to spread the gospel while you’re at it ? There’s a band called the Cypress Hill . In their hit song “Cock the Hammer” there’s a lyric that goes “I’m a chicken hawk hunting for a chicken” . I always thought that a chickenhawk was an older gay dude that liked trolling for hot young studs . Which I always found mildly confusing because it seemed strange for a rapper in 1990 to be openly talking about gay sex . But the internet came to the rescue . What that lyric was supposed to be about is a “chickenhead” sometimes just called a “chicken” which is woman that likes to suck dick . Which makes more sense . For 90’s music . Remember that time on the Office when Michael was talking about how an office without a boss is like a chicken without a head and he goes “What I need is a chickenhead” ? I do . Last of the Mohicans has been on rotation on the TV lately so I’ve been watching bits of it here and there because I like that movie . It’s almost two hours long but it zips right by because the bulk of the story takes place in the course of a couple hours . Anyway the point is I got the book a few days ago and started reading it and it’s pretty weak . I never seem to like “the classics” and I finally figured out why , which is probably something else that everyone else already knows but I’m a bit slow you know . Mohicans (comma Last of) was written in 1826 . I’m sure at the time the main character was written as a totally cool dude but through my modern eyes he’s just a jackass . A boring jackass . And I think that’s just the way it is for books written in Ye Olden Times . I saw some clickbait yesterday about how to survive in a job you hate until retirement and I took said bait . But as per usual I was disappointed because this article was about if you were a few months or years away from retirement . Fat lot of good that does me . I guess there’s no tricks to what you should do if you’re decades away from retirement and you hate your job . I read it anyway and it was stupid , there was only one point that they rephrased 5 different ways and the point was “just be happy instead” . Yeah , thanks pal . In the “Related Articles” section there was one about how you should retire as soon as you can afford it . Yeah , no shit . Do they think there’s people who just forget to retire ? Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

They really should make more movies about the French and Indian War , not the War of 1812 though - that war sucked a dick Putting clients first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put clients (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

Any war sucks ....if you are a soldier in it... woop woop

The War of 1812 was big in the Great Lakes area. How can you diss a war that had the catch phrase "Don't Give Up the Ship!" Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

"Are there people who just forget to retire?" No, but I think there are people who are overly conservative about when they pull the trigger. I have a friend who is miserable, utterly miserable, in her job. Now I don't know anything about her finances but they're a two income family with no kids, and her husband is a cop - they generally have fantastic retirement plans. I've gotta think they should be able to find a way to make it work, but no, she keeps insisting it's years and years off.

Lane caring in a grocery store is such a thankless job. I know of an elderly gentleman (I know OF him, I'm not yet brave enough to say I know him. It's obviously embarrassing) who literally, makes the cashiers all groan when he shows up. Buys a bottle of beer. Yup. One bottle. And proceeds to tell everyone there about "flow" and how to open up more lanes or use them more efficiently. Every time I see him, I keep thinking, his beer is gonna be warm and flat by the time he gets round to drinking it. Who likes flat beer? Think the jokes on him

I can't get past the old Foghorn Leghorn episodes when I hear "chickenhawk." This word-blurring is going to get me in trouble some day.
