Re: Pet Peeves?

I agree about dogs, but in most cases I apply the same "rule" to parents of screaming kids. Most of our neighbours have a dog or dogs, and many of them you rarely ever here, but a couple of houses...

Re: Pet Peeves?

My guess would be that half the problem is the sort of people who would plan an alcohol-free wedding. :unsure:

Re: Pet Peeves?

​​​​​​​Assuming your Walmart has those rotary bag carousels, I just take things back out of the bags as the carousel comes around. :)

Re: Pet Peeves?

​​​​​​​We bought several foil-lined, insulated heavy duty grocery bags. They are great for anything refrigerated or frozen, or fruit and vegetables, and easily strong enough for three gallons of...

Re: Pet Peeves?

​​​​​​​Didn't CA pass a law against disposable plastic grocery bags? I think they're being phased out here on the East Coast by 2022, and paper "sacks" are already widely available as an alternative.

Re: Pet Peeves?

I put the reluctance of a significant number of Americans to use self scan down to their bizarre preference to have some spotty school kid toss their groceries haphazardly into carrier bags, as doing...

Re: Pet Peeves?

That depends how you calculate it - it might be quicker for the customer, .... until you factor in having to queue at the check out. But as you said, the staffing cost is key, and one employee...

Re: Pet Peeves?

I pretty much always take a hand basket if one is available when shopping for groceries, as it limits what I can buy, somewhat. That said, I can get three gallons of milk in a basket, or a case of 12...

Re: Pet Peeves?

There always supposed to be someone overseeing the self scan, but at very quiet times of day, say early in the morning, the person at the customer service desk, or an assistant from the regular...

Re: Pet Peeves?

​​​​​​​Most grocery stores as well as Lowe's and HD in my area now have self scan in most stores, but it is noteable that stores in "high loss" areas were either slow to add a self-scan option, or...

Re: Pet Peeves?

A very large amount of fruit eaten in the US comes from Chile and Peru.

Grapes are a well known example, but many other fruits are cultivated in Peru including blueberries, citrus...

Re: Pet Peeves?

I don't think I have ever seen one in the US, and don't recall the last time I saw one in the UK either. I certainly don't remember seeing on my visits during the past 3-4 years.

Yeah, one thick-cut ribeye or strip steak is plenty for all three of us in the Pulaski household.

Re: Pet Peeves?

So long as they don't cause an accident, why do you care? :confused:

Some Americans have a weird obsession with "following the rules", especially when it comes to driving. If I am turning right...

Re: Pet Peeves?

They have vans in Sheffield. :nod:

I hear it was yokels in the west country that delivered bread by bicycle on impossibly steep cobbled streets. :sneaky:

Re: Pet Peeves?

I wasn't given a bicycle until I left Sheffield, but Gloucester is about as flat as Sheffield is hilly. The problem I have is finding a bicycle large enough - I have the largest frame size and then...

Re: Pet Peeves?

I understand where you're coming from, but bicycle riders get the §hïtty end of the stick in North America. Whenever a cyclist get killed in a wreck the police seem to some along, shrug their...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Bridge replacement has become quite a thing in NC. Over the past eight or so years I think six bridges that I drive across daily or frequently have been replaced, and I know of several others in my...

Re: Pet Peeves?

I think they do it to encourage you to take the e-ticket. The concert I went to last night had an e-ticket, and the two concerts I have coming up both have-tickets too.

Re: Pet Peeves?

When the expenses go up, a business will usually try to increase revenue if the increase in expenses can't be avoided,...

Re: Pet Peeves?

But they're paying their book keeper and office admin more, and security staff, and maintenance staff, which are all costs that your daily parking fee funds. If any of those services are contracted...

Re: Pet Peeves?

This is news? I never understood why people speak so highly of Virgin. I ended up on a Virgin flight once, because of a code-share. It was the most cramped seat I have ever sat in. I wouldn't fly...
