Circumbobulation

[for_the_beauty]

I think I may have stated in a previous entry (I'm too lazy to hit the one button to check) that I felt a bit ripped off about our abbreviated summer because I didn't get a chance to wear all my summer clothes. To me, this statement sounds a bit . . . I don't know . . . like I have fifteen closets full of designer clothes and that I'm really into

Oh oh oh, don't even get me started on supermarket bagging. It's a total pet peeve of mine. I do the same thing you do: heavy items first, then I do frozen, then boxed items (ie: cereal, rice, pasta, etc), then the rest. But, it NEVER ends up packed that way and it drives me bonkers, lol. That and when they put 2 or 3 items in bag and you end up with 20 bags instead of, say, 5. I wouldn't mind if the bags were paper but they don't offer those, only plastic. Bad bagging one of the reasons I like to use to self-check out registers (do you have those there?) because you do everything yourself, but if I must go through a register with a cashier, it's gotten to the point where I just ask/tell them not to bother to bag it, I'll do it myself

You know, it makes you wonder . . . surely the cashier wouldn't have done that to her own cake. I think sometimes there's a disconnect between people and stuff they handle that isn't theirs. Although I will admit there is a percentage of truly dense humans out there.

Yes, we do have self-check out registers, but a) they're not as ubiquitous here as in the U.S., and b) whenever I see self-check out stands, they're either not working properly, or they're being used by people who have absolutely no clue what they're doing. The line-ups for them always seem twice as long as the cashier-manned tills. Which sort of defeats the purpose . . . until the technology and peoples' brains get ironed out.
