Interesting Discoveries

Oh boy, talk about discoveries that should go undiscovered.

1. Safeway Select Diet Root Beer pop tastes like cough syrup.
2. Safeway Select Diet Cola with Lemon tastes like Pine sol smells. (The stuff you clean your toilet with.)
3. When they say buy one get on free, you are still paying full price for both.
4. Check out scanners are seldom accurate.
5. If they ring up your item wrong, at least in the state of WA, it’s free. J This was a nifty tid bit that I did not know until a nice old lady at the check out counter told me when the scanner rang up my Star Trek TOS season 1 DVD at the wrong price thus allowing me to get it for free.
6. People who have perfectly healthy apple trees on their property with googles of apples will still go to the store and buy the wax pLastic ones they sell.
7. The weigh scales are always WRONG.
8. The freshest milk is always in the back of the rack.
9. Made fresh daily does not mean MADE FRESH DAILY.
10. Paper or PLastic does not mean Cash or credit. (While working for Fred Meyers, I asked a lady if she wanted paper or pLastic, referring to the bags, she looked at me and with a scowl on her face told me that I had no right to ask her such a question and wanted to speak to may manager. So I called her over and the old lady proceeded to tell her how rude I was to ask her if she was going to pay with paper or pLastic. My manager politely informed her that I was asking if she preferred paper or pLastic bags.)

In the decade that I worked in retail I discovered a great many things that should never have been discovered. Like why do Fat people buy hordes of junk food and DIET pop. Because Diet Pop has no sugar. Duhhhhhhhhh.

Why now do I share these discoveries with you, well mainly because I am hideously board to death and well, drinking Safeway select diet cola with Lemon. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww. Back to the expensive stuff for me.
