the sign does boggle my mind.

LOL.

Sorry Rachelle. Here, have a smile-- :)


or.... maybe you're just sending the wrong smile. Try this one-- :eaty:

guffaw! Good one John & nice followup V

Clearly you've never worked retail.

I'm still wondering is a dozen eggs 1 item or 12?

It's ONE dozen, because "a item" as in "a dozen" is incorrect. It would be "an item" and an is short for one.

I love it when you get all technical and shit.

What if you have 15 items plus one tiny item? Can't you just sneak that in? Why be so rigid?

I once got yelled at for NOT being in the 15 items or less line... there was a queue at that check-out so I took my few meager items to a regular check out with no line at all and a little old lady came up behind me and yelled at me that I should be in the other line.

that was immediately before I had to join witness protection

:)


I've figured out who you are but I'll never tell. Your secret is safe with me, gynch. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go see a man about a dog...

umm.... do YOU have a secret to share?

I didn't hear you complaining about that last night.

I had 13 items and the check-out operator wouldn't serve me in a 10-or-less queue. I asked her just to take the first ten items, whichever ten she liked, and someone else could put the other three back. I've never seen someone so confused in my life and, of course, I got all 13.

Good thing that didn't happen down here... the Swiss would have you locked up for behavior like that.
