QUOTED  Wouldn't that eliminate the 'long e' sound? Granted, english sux and you really could make any rules you want (I mean, look at ghoti), but does that work?



What's wrong with ghoti?I like ghoti. I eat various kinds of ghoti, raw, in sushi form, or cooked, in non-sushi form. Have a ghoti while you're at it.

There is nothing wrong with ghoti, (takes wet trout and takes measures to keep it wet for later use) it was just an example of how fucked up the english 'language' is.

QUOTED  Upon further inspection of this scroll I noticed 3/4 of it dealt with a contest. Yeah, it was a bit dissapointing. Even good ole' Captin Crunch put more pizzaz into his gimmicks. I've new found respect for the captin.


Ug, I know what you mean. Some stores they are advertisments for their special, or credit cards or something stupid. It's getting annoying and I'm starting to tune out the advertisements everywhere.

It's getting out of hand. Advertisements on your receipts, spam in snail and email, websites, taxi cabs, billboards, even pizza delivery cards are being forced to put on advertisments on thier car. Hell, even when you're golfing at courses with GPS systems, they run advertisements in the carts GPS screens and my friend/client for the golf site I develope for him he told me some guy is trying to do these new advertisement which posts these "lawn" type banners at was tee box and of course... lawn advertisements!!!

I hate being hassled at the check out line and now this whole thing with long ass reciepts. It's annoying to purchase stuff that takes up the first 4 inches of the receipt and the rest of the 15 inches is advertisements for something.



QUOTED  As a general rule - I find it annoying to stand in a long check-out line, then have the checker (and the person behind me) look at everything I've bought.


Isn't that f'ing annoying? Even worse when they have to comment or ask you an opinion on what you're buying.

I remembered onces an cashier said, "Oh, having a BBQ?" I just ignores her when I really wanted to say, ""Your role does not reuire you to comments on what I buy. Your role required you to say hello, tell me the price and say thank you. Please do not comverse with me any further with your poor attempt and small talk."

I was once at Best Buy and got a Learn to Play the Guitar program. The guy stuck up a conversation. At this point I was saying in my head, "WTF??" He asked me how the program was and if it's the same one that allows you to plug in an electric guitar into the computer and read what you play... blah blah blah." I'm sorry but did you miss the point that I just BOUGHT this program? I haven't even opened it yet, why they hell you asking me for a review about a proudct I have yet to even take out of the store??

It's quite annoying when the cashier tries to go beyond the regulated amount of conversation during check out.


QUOTED  Oh and Petsmart is NOTORIOUS for giving out those huge receipts with a gazillion coupons on them - of course, they're always for something I'd never use!


Oh I know what you mean. I know that Ralphs does the same thing but at least they have a logorythm in their machines to match the coupon to your shopping habbit. Freak petsmart is wierd. I'm buying fish stuff and I get coupons for "Rat Grooming" or something stupid and off the mark like that.

I hate that too.. and I've been on both sides of it. When I was working in retail, and acting as cashier, I'd always get the annoying customers that want to chat.

Customer: "So, how's your day been?"
Me: "Fine."
Customer: "Haha, wish I could say the same, ya know? Things have been pretty rotten all day, glad to be out of (wherever they came from)...blah blah"
Me (in my mind): "Do I LOOK like your fucking therapist?"

So it's not just the guys that work there that start up inane conversations. Customers can be just as damn bad.

As a person in Deli I found that it is best to talk to the costomer as they wait for their goods. I have had no complaints "except my REALLY bad days.... which I have them every 3 - 6 months" I have had some complaints in my history but I dont count them as I am usually pushing the costumer away... which I shouldn't do but I do on bad days. But other then that. On a normal day I have quite the load of people that like to talk to me when they wait. And the most thank yous between the sub departments at where I work. The only problem is. At tops, the only people that get writen up for a "thank you" is a Cashier... and most of them suck. I know a few of them that are great people though they dont get the credit they deserve... My store is corrupt... and probably why so many people get screwed there... I need a new job...

Trust me sometimes just being away from your wife/gf is a blessing in disguise..
Ive been on the opposite side, and ive been a cashier and man does that suck i mean from the people that mumble and dont really tell you what they want to the people that tell you their orders lightning fast and expect you to have it all.I guess it could be worse and i could be a janitor..

There's a couple out there. The one I got is "Learn the Play the Guitar". It's a yellow box. It was around $45 I think.
