If every one shopping at hard ware stores knows enough to install the items they are buying, and therefore don't need help in finding those items, then they should just eliminate employees on the floor entirely. Most people working jobs for less than $10/hr can't just up and find a new job at the drop of a dime. As…

Yeah, I know. I used to work retail for slightly more than minimum wage. Employers only care about the very immediate bottom line. However, it would benefit them more in the long run to have employees who actually know what they are doing. It would also benefit the employees, so maybe that's why they don't…

Exactly. I'm so annoyed that this story is posted everywhere I look today. My local news channel posted it with absolutely no back story, and idiotic comments ensued. I googled her earlier this morning and found out that this "controversy" started last year. There's even a video on youtube from an interview she did…

Oh I know it's their job, the only reason I say it feels like trolling is because when I take them up on their offer and ask them to help me find a certain item, 90% of the time they can't find it (in their own section no less.) Maybe it's just that particular store, but they obviously need way more training. I reckon…

Yeah, I usually opt to find things on my own too. I'm pretty sure they are just trolling when they say "Can I help you?" I mostly end up talking to the employees in the lumber department (b/c they can cut your wood there,) but even that usually turns out badly.

I live in the continental US, but the nearest Home Depot is 69.87 miles away (in a whole different state.) There's a Lowe's 24.3 miles away, which I like pretty well aside from the fact that most of the employees know zilch about home improvement :/

As a former employee of Fazoli's (in its birthplace of Lexington, Ky) I would say their problem started in '06 when they were bought by another company, and they proceeded to replace Kuni Toyoda with a McD's exec. Mr. Toyoda made Fazoli's great, and he took that greatness with him when he left.

I have what I suppose is a regular sized purse? It contains the following:

Probably.

I wonder how many people are clamoring for the 2INC0CK vanity plate? I guess the world may never know now...

I love the non-welcome mat, but it would get stolen in about 2 seconds.

A five dollar gift card to McDonald's.

A gift card/certificate, to any of the multitude of craft stores, is always nice. I'd also say a really nice hand cream and some cotton gloves, so you can pamper your crafty hands at night.

Is this why it took him so long to give his concession speech?

No, but that doesn't stop me from looking at my wrist expecting to magically know what time it is.

I got a little bit scared when he first mentioned "astounding feature 21," but then I was highly disappointed when it wasn't a flamethrower or something equally dangerously cool.

That woman who smells smoke constantly, where there isn't any, should really see a doctor. What if she has a brain tumor, or some kind of seizure disorder, or something?

Thanks! I'll sleep better tonight with the knowledge that you'll be gorging yourself on salty treats on my behalf:)

Candy corn rules!

Yeah, I used to love pickled/salty foods. I loved me some salt&vinegar potato chips, but then I started developing hypertension (go figure lol.) Soooo, no more salt laden foods for me...
