Maybe a ripped suit instead of a law suit?

Damn ninja edits! De cap's original post had just a question mark without the suit/suit question!

That clerk should be sanitising after every cash transaction if he's worried about germs. The cabbage should be the least of his problems.

Not all of us have clammy supple fingers. A few of us have even worked jobs that don't require a keyboard

So when Howard talks about the little T's he's not talking about his miniature Mr. T figurines? Oh man.

For ****s and giggles I decided to google Vons store layout (even though they're all different) and stumbled across this gem:

Quote:

I am writing to inform you of a problem with the experience at one of your stores. Specifically, my complaint concerns the layout of your store. The store I'm referring to is at 20445 Yorba Linda Blvd.
Yorba Linda, CA 92886
714 777-0781.

Vons store #3069 in Yorba Linda recently remodeled. The new layout of the store is completely unworkable from a shopper's experience. The bread and frozen foods are on the right wall and the produce is on the left wall. How is a shopper supposed to proceed throught the store?

If you start on the right side with the bread and the frozen foods, then the bread is squished and ice cream starts melting by the time shopping is completed. If you start with the produce side, then the produce is wilted and the tomatoes are squished.

So what is Vons' recommendation for the shopper? Did anyone at Vons actually try this out? Did Vons ever ask their shoppers what they prefer? Does Vons really care about their shopper's convenience? If so, why would they make such an idiot layout? Does Vons wants their shoppers to switch to Albertsons down the street?

My wife and I spend about $7500 at Vons annually. We have done so for more than 20 years.

On average, I would say I visit your store 6-10 times per month, and I usually spend $51-$80 per visit. I still might buy from your store. Also, it's doubtful that I would recommend your company after this.

Here's what I'd like The Vons Companies, Inc. to do: Vons should put the bread and the frozen foods on the aisle adjacent to the produce. Put the paper goods, non-food items, and soap products on the right.

Vons should also ask shopppers for their ideas and preferences before charging ahead with their rediculous remodeling schemes. That would make more sense.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I hope you can respond soon.

When old(like old old) married couples call each other mom and dad. That's just weird.

I've only ever heard that on TV shows.

Well actually my friend from HS calls her husband dad but we're under 30.

It's a thing. I definitely heard it more in NC than I do out here, but I did hear it just a couple days ago.

I don't think I've heard it from anyone under 65ish.

I will usually lick a part of my hand that has less intensive contact with stuff like the back of my hand, then moisten my fingers by touching the spot I just licked.

Dude. The second time you do this you are licking a place on your hand that has been infected by your finger touch. Unless you only buy one bagable produce at a time, I mean.
