Need a Hand?

oh ew definite supermarket pet peeve is when someone rests their skanky grocery tote bag on the conveyor belt allowed bedbugs and roaches to crawl in. definitely shake out your groceries before you bring them inside your house.

When they have them, I use the self-checkout lines but I only see them in PA & MA.
Dionne Warwick — another GREAT female voice from the past!! (never sang correctly though and now talks like a frog 🙁
If you see me walkin’ down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by
Walk on by
Make believe
That you don’t see the tears, just let me grieve
In private ‘cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
Walk on by (Don’t stop)
Walk on by (Don’t stop)
Walk on by
I just can’t get over losin’ you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left, so let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (Don’t stop)
Walk on by (Don’t stop)
Walk on by (Don’t stop)
Walk on
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride
That’s all that I have left, so let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (Don’t stop)
Walk on by (Don’t stop)
Now you really gotta go , so walk on by (Don’t, don’t stop)
Baby, leave, you’ll never see the tears I cry (Don’t, don’t stop)
Now you really gotta go , so walk on by (Don’t, don’t stop), mmm…mmm…hmm…
Baby, leave, you’ll never see the tears I cry (Don’t, don’t stop)
Now you really gotta go , so walk on by (Don’t, don’t stop)
hey rob, look at this, we agreed on something!
“This is what I really hate though:
I find a lot of white people (men and women of all ages) who don’t BAG
Sorry I just think it’s RUDE to everyone involved – the cashier AND the line of peeps waiting as you allow some 60 year old check out lady to bag your groceries”
Why is this rude, G10? The upshot would be if everyone bagged, management would take advantage and fire some cashiers. Especially the 60yo checkout lady. You don’t think you’d see lower prices, do you?
I’ll make an exception and bag if there’s a really long line and the cashier is frazzled, but normally, I’d like the cashiers of the world to keep their jobs.
I have a friend who used to creep me out because she stared at me hella hard when we talked and NEVER averted her eyes. Come to find out she’s partially deaf, which actually explained the way she talked. I got over her staring “problem” after that because she was reading my lips and listening at the same time to figure out what I was saying. She said she was born missing a bunch of nerve endings in her ears. She has a hearing aid, but rarely wears it.
That how it works, donatella- a combination of memory and vocal vibration. She is so highly trained that she can learn new material without much problem but for me, no way. I not only sang but played violin, trumpet, accordian and flutophone (green plastic, a glorified kazoo with bad hair days) so I did have quite a bit of musical training. But it doesn’t help me now.

customers are expected to bag their own groceries!? i dont think so. there are no old lady cashiers at the supermarket i go to. it’s all teenage girls who text their boyfriends in between customers. so youre telling me i should bag my own groceries while she stands sexting and getting paid!?!? um, no.
maybe if the cashier didnt have fingers or arms or something i might be inclined to bag my own groceries.

“In fact, nowadays, I refuse to even acknowledge ET if I happen to pass her walking the streets.”
If I’m with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don’t even speak
Know the word’s “discreet” with part-time lovers
