As a non-customer (I make coffee at home) this explains why there’s a line snaking all over the place at a local Starbucks when there’s one right inside the Target next door. TIL!

The stop and shop gun is amazing. I don’t ever want to go back

I loooove self-checkout. I only buy small amounts of stuff at a time, so it works out perfectly, and I prefer to bag my own groceries. My local supermarket only has 2 or 3 staffed registers anymore, as opposed to 10 self-checkouts, so it beats waiting in those lines.

the best method so far is Meijer’s, they have self checkouts (both 12 items or less and full lane self checkouts) and their app lets you scan while you shop and when you are ready to checkout you scan a QR code on the self checkout register which randomly needs vetted by a cashier. Sometimes you don’t need vetterd,…

A lot of it also will have to do with the population of the area. Where I am, there are tons of old rich white people. They got mad at the stores when they brought the self-check in (mostly because you can’t buy alcohol at them and they have to bag their own stuff) and the store got rid of them. 

... someone with such a history should not have been entrusted with the care of other people, potentially vulnerable ones, without a clear demonstration that whatever issues put them there are completely resolved.

It is plausible, if she has bipolar mood disorder, that she may legitimately not remember the incident. Memory loss is very common with the condition. However, it obviously means her condition is very much out of control, and in terms of culpability, they need to determine whether or not she knew her condition was out…

Have you seen the video on this? My initial reaction to the speed was “way over 100 mph” and when the police said 90 mph I flat-out did not believe them. 130 mph is totally consistent with what you see in the video.

Oh yeah. The institutions were a nightmare — overcrowded, underfunded, understaffed, totally unable to treat their patients with dignity, so of course something had to be done. I don’t blame people for campaigning to get people released, especially since it was so easy to get people committed that there were a lot of…

But I’m sure all of the extras had intimacy coordinators so that they could safely and modestly block out and rehearse their 69-ing months in advance.

1. It’s harder to maneuver with a cart, especially in stores with narrower aisles.

Reminds me of the time I got salmonella from a Planters nut mix containing pistachios. They sent me coupons for discounts on other Planters products (not coupons for the full value of any product). I certainly didn’t want to try any of their products again soon, but I most certainly didn’t want to pay for the…

Making POWs build the bridge was a bad idea.

The Wilton customer service folks also answer baking and decorating questions by phone or email; I know because I used to work there. :)

Y’all are missing the simplest tip that is listed in literally every dishwasher manual:

“once the cycle is complete open the door and pull out the racks to allow the drying process to complete.” If you leave the racks sealed inside the dishwasher of course condensation is going to occur as there is no space for the…

breakfest sandwiches on a roll, i go for pork roll egg and cheese on this side of the river, but same idea.  I can get it on a bagel...but either the bagel is going to be a sad one...or it will be a pain to eat.

Ketchup is a staple of hot dogs pretty much everywhere except Chicago.

We have wonderful curds here (Finger Lakes Region of NYS) and great poutine. In fact, there’s a local food truck that does nothing but.

Absolutely. Fillings in a proper bagel make no sense.
