Rant follows:
you ever look at the pics in the ads...
and the item is supposed to be fried chicken
but it looks like ground beef?

and why the heck do we need to carry around
loyalty cards?!?!
if you're gonna give us a good price (which i friggin doubt) just give it to us and forget the stupid cards.

and another thing...
fire the young twinkie cashiers that have a bluetooth in one ear talking to her boyfriend or girlfriends
and can't muster a "hello" to the people that pay her salary...

and why when i find something i really really like,
do the stores always discontinue it?

green beans in a can for $1.00, are you freakin kidding me?

I want to know why a decent loaf of bread is more than beef?

The "loyalty cards" is so you share all the information of what you buy with their computer marketing database, which they can then sell so you can get bombarded by ads in your mailbox for stuff you do not want/need.

And the self serve checkouts are so you can put the cashier out of work by volunteering your time at the store to do it for them.

I feel that if you use the self checkout, you should get a discount cause you are not using a cashier
Signature space for rent. Spacious lot available immediately. Includes utilities. Inquire within.

I wish. I should also get a discount when I have to buy crap, because that is all they sell anymore.

Actually, what will probably start soon is that the store will charge you when you use a cashier, instead of the self-checkout.
