Ha! MM, so true about the space for the lines to the registers. It would make the shopping experience that much better. And the folks in there make me straight up homocidal!
Ok, ok, I’ll get my own tiara. I saw a little Latin hole in the wall restaurant on 4th Avenue, in the 20s. Reina de la Nube. Queen of the Cloud. Great awning with a Queen floating in the heavens….
Snaps, I like the Costco on Rockaway Blvd better, and since you go down Atlantic Ave to get there, it’s easy from my house. Traffic is usually nuts though, which can stress one as much as the people in Costco.
When will store planners learn not to skimp on the space needed for lines to the cash registers? When will people learn to not leave their carts in the middle of aisles when they are running all over the store? When will they stop having family conferences in the middle of aisles so no one can get past them?
I don’t like to linger when I food shop. I go down the aisle, pick up what I want, and keep going. I don’t stand in front of the offerings and ponder what I’m going to get for 20 minutes. I understand sorting through produce or meat, or gourmet cheese. That’s an activity, I have no problem with it unless someone gets ridiculous. I don’t understand standing in front of cereal trying to decide what to get. If you want to see my evil face, trail me in a supermarket with a lot of people in it.
New York’s DiNapoli to Probe ‘Suspicious’ MTA Overtime Spending
Aug. 30 (Bloomberg) — New York state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said he will investigate “suspicious†spending by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority after an audit found overtime payments increased by 26 percent from 2005 to 2009.
Overtime paid to more than 140 employees at the MTA, the busiest U.S. transit agency, at least doubled their annual income, according to an Aug. 5 audit by DiNapoli. One Long Island Rail Road car repairman collected $142,857 in overtime pay, more than double his $64,865 annual wages. The agency spent $600 million in overtime in the period, the comptroller said.

I knew that somewhere, deep within, MM had some pet peeve that turns her into an ogre!!!!!

DCB, your broker experience sounds a lot like the seller’s broker for a house I bid on in Cobble Hill in July. Unberievable.
Queen of Hearts – LOL! Ok then, demanding a tiara isn’t very tiara-queen-of-hearts-like!
“*runs out to buy a pack of 13 dollar newports* (before anyone mentions that hahahaha)grrrrrrrrr”
LMAO, *rob*!!!
You do realize, do you not, that I only said the $5 hot dogs weren’t overpriced for your benefit?
BTW, don’t forget your $5 iced coffees!!!
