Here's something from the freezer (over a year old!) to possibly entertain you on this Memorial Day eve...
Bacon
The other day I was getting my standard grilled Caribbean chicken sandwich at Zaxby's. The Caribbean has grilled chicken, lettuce, mayonnaise, bacon and cheese. When I was ordering it the girl behind the counter said, "You know that has bacon on it, right?" I've ordered that there several times and no one's ever asked me that. Do you think she was insinuating I looked like someone who would want my food to be kosher? Not that I was offended, I just wondered.
Dollar Store
I don't understand how dollar stores are successful. The premise is not that they offer any particular kind of good, but that whatever they do have is a dollar.
The other day I walked by a dollar store and they had a display of Spider Man drink coasters and some water balloons. Is anyone ever sitting at home saying, "I need some drink coasters -- Spider Man ones, particularly -- and some water balloons, too. I'd better check the dollar store to see if they're in stock before I go anywhere else."
...Yeah, maybe that was weak. Better stuff next week. |

I left shortly after entering, because I felt awful: the place was crammed full of folks shopping there "for real."
Toys that would break after one use...party favors bearing images from movies popular ten years ago...generic batteries that would power a toy for about six minutes, which is twice as long as the actual toy would last...
Very sad.
Did you read my post about my new handmade jewelry/swinging group that meets every Thursday? We make ripcord beads and then use them on each other. Take THAT, Girl Friday!
