I hate all of these grocery stores haha

 

Which ones do you like then?

 

Morning all. Got a solid 3 hours of sleep last night haha.

There was a cricket that was somewhere along the baseboard (might have somehow gotten under the carpet) in our room. Started chirping around 8:30 and by the time midnight came around I gave up trying to find it. Set a trap and we slept in our guestroom.

 

What the heck is a cricket trap?

 

Cut the top off of a plastic bottle, invert it and tape it around. Put a good amount of sugar in the inverted lid and bottom of the bottle. They will go in but hard for them to get out.

You could also leave a bowl of molasses and then will hop into it and get stuck. But I didn't have any molasses and at that point I was going crazy listening to the thing chirping I didn't want to go out and find a 24hr store to get it.

 

Thats cool I won tickets to the drag racing on sunday on twitter. Thank you Matt Hagan and Mopar. I dont think it includes hospitality though.

 

So where do you choose to shop?

 

How do you think VR46 will feel about this?

 

Morning, bitchasses. Finally Friday...

 

Today's my normal Friday off, but I've got a few different people coming by to do stuff to the house, so I'm in a hurry up and wait schedule. I'm getting the pressure tank of my irrigation system replaced and my septic tank pumped. Hopefully it doesn't take all day so I can actually get some stuff done around here and maybe actually get the car and truck washed for the first time this season.

I've had a contractor here off and on for the past week and a half doing rot repair and painting the trim on the house, so I've been limited what I can do outside while he's here. My yard desperately needs a mow.

 

normal grocery stores. Stop and shop

 

worked at Shaw's for 6 years of my life..........i still know where every damn bloody thing is

 

Stop and Shop in Raynham was a maximum of 20 minutes from where you were. Which Trader Joes did you go to? The closest one I can think of was Hanover or maybe Foxboro.

 

I worked at Shaws throughout high school, freshman year of college, then interned in their finance department during my sophomore and junior year summers in college.

 

grocery, produce, floral, front end, did it all whenever they wanted me to. high school through college and into the start of my engineering job as it had a test period of 90 days. Once the job became permanent I said see you later bitches!

 

I worked at Roche Bros for about 6 years from early high school into college before my co-ops and still remember 75% of the produce codes. I always want to help the cashier when they're struggling to figure it out, but I feel like then I'm just creepy old dude to them.

What a soap opera grocery stores are, though. I stayed out of it, but it was intense.

 

Haha yeah. I shouldn't have to go twenty min to go to a normal grocery store. I have one in walking distance now, and two 5 min drive from me now

 

lol I hear people looking for stuff in the aisles and i just tell them where it is lol. Then when I'm checking out it's like pro bagger time lol

 

I do actually love it when there isn't a bagger at the line I'm at. It's my inner engineer coming out and making everything fit. I go nuts when I get some dumb high schooler who puts my toilet bowl cleaner in with the chicken.

 

Didn't know who that was, so obviously I had to Google my competition.

Same height but I've got about 15 lbs on him. ...and I thought I was thin!
