I like perplexing the hotel maid when I travel. I always have a trashcan filled with beer and ice, I move the bathroom kleenex to my nightstand and use one of the water glasses as a toothbrush holder. Then I make side bets on whether the stuff is moved back or left as is. It helps that I always leave $5 on the pillow.geewitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590044820333720010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-65944187316377197252009-01-22T23:18:00.000-06:002009-01-22T23:18:00.000-06:00I love the grocery store lines where you can do se...I love the grocery store lines where you can do self service. Once, though, the machine short changed me 80 cents. I told the manager sitting a few feet away, and he asked a cashier to take the money out of her own pocket.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I said, "I just wanted you to be aware of the problem. I don't need the exact change."<BR/><BR/>Now I want them to replace managers with machines that don't put the bite on employees.Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552562808209927463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-79802469807737114752009-01-22T16:10:00.000-06:002009-01-22T16:10:00.000-06:00CVS has any number of policies designed to send me...CVS has any number of policies designed to send me screaming down the street to Walgreens, where I usually shop now. One morning my CVS card was not scanned, so I paid almost five bucks for a toothbrush on sale for $2.99 I went in after work and waited in the line(ever see the line at 5pm?) and was asked "do you have all the items with you?" Uh, NO. In fact, I'd eaten some of them and the rest were in the car. "Well, go around and pick up the exact items on your receipt so we can void each item and re-ring the transaction". You can't just void the ticket? "No, each item". OK. (not) I went back around and picked up the six or seven items on my receipt, including the toothbrush, waited in line AGAIN.... "I'm sorry, this is the wrong toothbrush. You purchased a medium, this one is soft. It doesn't match. You need to find a medium.". WHHAAAAATTTT I. lost. it. Are you freakin' kidding me? (I may not have said freakin'). I fled the counter, got the toothbrush and accosted a managerial looking guy and told him "YOU are going to take care of this NOW. Just give me my two bucks!!! Blah, blah, BLAH....". I was not nice. I was not happy. He was nice to me. (I did appreciate that). <BR/><BR/>That's not my only CVS story but I'll spare you....<BR/><BR/>Oh, how I miss Oscobettycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799967289306558601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-45801958973490690512009-01-22T15:56:00.000-06:002009-01-22T15:56:00.000-06:00I always enjoy the Mattis location.

I'd totally have a hard time keeping my mouth shut and, once I spoke my mind, then I'd probably be thrown out and barred from ever returning. <BR/>I've found that people like the one you described are generally so miserable with themselves and their lives that I really find myself feeling sorry for them. As if making other people miserable is actually going to make them feel more powerful, smarter, and better about themselves...<BR/>Go figure...Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-39028170281119413072009-01-22T11:58:00.000-06:002009-01-22T11:58:00.000-06:00I went to deliver a package a few days ago and it ...I went to deliver a package a few days ago and it was supposed to be a surprise for someone and I didn't want them to know who sent it. The lady at the register handed me a marker and said I had to put a return address on it in case they couldn't deliver the package. <BR/><BR/>I told her the story and she said; Just make up an address then. I wanted to ask; So what was the purpose of putting a return address on it again?Greg Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925817439493420666noreply@blogger.com
