Still alive. But just barely lol readjusting to this whole single mom, adult life, working nonsense. Whose idea was this again?
SO true!!!
I let people drink what they want and I stick with my non-alcoholic drinks. I am at stage when I can join party but not to drink or crave it
Sometimes I have thought âhmm, what ifâŚhow would it beâŚâ, but never for too longâŚ
I thought I was the only one who gets livid when grocery stores rearrange. After spending 30 extra minutes hunting for something pretty common, only to find it in a new, totally unrelated section, I managed (barely) to keep it together when the cheery 20-something cashier asked âdid you find everything OK today?â.
After managing a big box storeâŚI 100% assure you, we absolutely hate doing itâŚ
It really makes me wonder. Which is more valuable. Me coming back several times a week because I know where everything is? Or pissing me off by moving stuff around to trick me into wandering around for a few extra minutes one time?
My current grocery store hasnât moved anything in ten years. Iâll literally go out of my way to stop there because I know I can be in and out in five minutes.
Reminds me of several years ago when my usual grocery store back home got bought by a larger chain, and they had reps asking customers at the door for their thoughts and suggestions.
âWhat did you think of the new layout?â
âWell, I donât care for it really. Iâm used to things being in places in the store that make sense. Iâve never worked so hard for sundried tomatoesâ
blank stare
âOK, anything else you would like to share?â
âThe new branding has people flocking to the store. Good for you guys, but bad for me. I donât care for flocksâ
Iâll never forget the interaction. In my head, my responses were a mix of dry humor and my actual feelings, but probably came off as me being crusty.
For the company I worked forâŚthe suppliers had to change something with packaging every 17 months. In return, we had to move their product. âStudies showedâ these changes boosted sales of products
Studies show that 9 out of 10 people, account for 90% of the population.
Hahahahaha that is correct
Depends on how representive the test population isâŚ
Last year there was a report about a local government concluding there were 40 people on the payroll but there were only 34 employees
Gosh, didnât expect to open such a can of grocery store worms LMAO It pisses me off too when they rearrange everything. Good thing is, Iâm the one doing it, so I usually know where to go LOL.
Whatâs that thing on your head?
Letting it grow for a music project?
Youâre almost there
Sounds like government math.
Lol, that first day sure is fun but you got it in the bag. Welcome in and keep on at it!
