No wonder my local Wal-mart (which I refuse to go to) treats their customers more like criminals. They want to do a colonoscopy on you before you leave the store.

Yes, that's exactly why.

UNDERTOAD COULD YOU FIX THE DAMN PAGES WITH THE SHENANIGANS EVERY DAMN TIME YOU TRY TO DO A THING?!

Theres a big racket of theft going on in Lowe's stores. Anything small and expensive (electrical stuff and plumbing fittings are hot right now) is stolen from one store and returned at another store for store credit (given on a gift card). Then the card is sold, but where and to whom, I don't know.

Whenever I see this thread title, I think it's about an Italian neorealism film.

Underware gnomes.

a quick perusal of the news shows that deodorant theft is On The Rise.

Makes me think there must be some drug use for it. Sniffing aluminum?

This week the campus cafeteria has been its own little Romper Room, with a bunch of HS kids running around: there's some kind of pre-college thing going on.

Almost EVERY SINGLE kid gets a few carrots from the salad bar to go with their meal. Doesn't matter if they pizza or a burger or soup or chinese food...they always go over to the salad bar and get about 5 or 6 carrots. Seriously, almost all of them. And there are about a hundred of them.

It could be that whoever is in charge makes them get at least one vegetable, and that is their choice. However, i wonder if there are uses for carrots (the small little pre-peeled ones that look like fingers) that I am not yet hip to.

"You kids and your Dan Fogelberg and your carrots..."

Just wondering.

edit: crud, meant to make this a thread but wasn't paying close enough attention to what I was doing.

I was wondering if I'd been sniffing too much deodorant as I couldn't follow the thread drift to carrots.....

Just for the record, they don't sell beer at the pharmacy in Texas. New Mexico, yes, Texas -- too dry.

I saw a documentary on one of the news channels about this (either MSNBC or ID) the other day. They had the loss-prevention specialist from Walgreens on explaining the problem. In some areas all of the store's products are behind plexiglas and you have to have a clerk unlock it and hand you your items. Kind of harks back to the old general store days when you'd tell Old Clem behind the counter what you wanted and he'd hand it to you.

But ... what ARE they doing with all those carrots????
