Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: Oh holy fuck I ran into the worst abuse of that lane ever recently. I'm at a Wal-Mart where they have a single line leading to six different express-dedicated checkout counters, four of which were active at the time. This guy two or three customers in fron ....
Comment preview: My (white) boyfriend had a similar thing happen to him. He was buying groceries in Korea when the checkout girl started talking to her friend beside her about how he's actually pretty good looking for a foreigner, and then launched into a whole discussion ....
Comment preview: Weird that they would say the job killing robot is science fiction, when people are already losing jobs to automation. Grocery stores are rolling out self-checkouts, which can contain 6-8 check out stations in the space of two checkout lanes. They only nee ....
Comment preview: Opening shot follows the broken front left wheel of a shopping cart being pushed down an aisle. Camera refocuses from the wheel to the ridiculously large diabetic shoes shuffling nervously behind it. It's Huell. He's out and about buying some essential sup ....
Comment preview: I work for a grocery company, lets call it "Kroager". I know many customers like to protest the self check out machines because they feel that if enough of them stand in line then management will be forced to hire or schedule more cashiers. It doesn't work ....
Comment preview: So I'm not good at green text and this is my first post so please bear with me. I'm broke. Really broke. It's taco tuesday and all I need to make some bomb tacos is tortillas and an onion. So I make my way to the local grocery. As I'm walking around I star ....
Comment preview: Same here - But I realized specifically what it is about this clip that I connect with...there are so many times where you find yourself in a situation that is unfair, ESPECIALLY unfair when someone else gets a break at a cost to you, and rarely does anyth ....
Comment preview: I don't understand self-checkout hate. A decade ago, people were saying things like "I don't understand why there are only two cashiers open; I have to wait in this huge line, just for bread and eggs! I wish they could just have computers do it; it's no ....
Comment preview: def get_bread(cart, loaves): cart.update({'bread': loaves}) return cart def shop(cart, eggs): loaves = 1 if eggs: loaves = 12 get_bread(cart, loaves) return cart if __name__ == '__main__': cart = {} # What grocery store doesn't have eggs? eggs = True c ....
Comment preview: I'm not sure I'd you're serious or not. But I'll explain anyway: A DDoS is not a security issue. A DDoS is a "denial of service" attack. It is so named because they aren't exploiting any security vulnerabilities. That is they are not denying your ability t ....
Comment preview: About 6 months ago, I was at a local grocery store waiting in the checkout line. The cashier was talking to the other kid bagging the groceries and was telling him how he was going to have to drop out of school because he can no longer afford tuition. The ....
Comment preview: It's funny, I had this thought a week ago, from the perspective of "Who should I invest in now, with this knowledge?" Train of thought went, "Google cars will use an Uber-like app and just have cars strategically parked or moving. If you want to go to the ....
Comment preview: In the grocery store: 1. Place heavy and/or big items on the conveyor belt first so it can be loaded on the bottom of your cart. Needless to say, bread, eggs and produce last. Baggers load the cart heavy to light as they do the same when bagging the grocer ....
Comment preview: Ugh so you know how self-checkout lanes are grouped together in a small area that's alongside all the "normal" lanes, and therefore people just line up at the *general* self-checkout area and wait to see **which** of the individual lanes opens first? Well ....
Comment preview: Loads of stuff, all different kinds of tricks really. ~~I'm not gonna write a how-to or anything~~ That's kind of what this turned into after I started writing, but here were the most basic techniques: ***NOTE: I do not condone using any of the below infor ....
Comment preview: This post is the most depressing thing I've encountered today. I am going to give you homework. Tomorrow, go to the grocery store and buy groceries. ANY groceries. Find the longest checkout line. Stand in it. Your mission is to pick one item from the cart ....
Comment preview: So I was at the same grocery store the other day. I went through with the ice cream, spotted the mistake and got super excited. I mean, I'm about flat broke and I've been eating eggs and ramen for a month. I splurged on some ice cream and lo and behold... ....
Comment preview: I went to Walmart the other day just to get paper plates. It took them 30 minutes to get me through the "speedy checkout" (which isn't even a self checkout). Some lady was bitching about the cost of her groceries and why they weren't being covered by her f ....
Comment preview: I'm not a security guard, but one from walmart saved my ass! I was with my girlfriend buying a prepaid phone card for her as well as some groceries for the house. We went through the checkout, grabbed all our purchases and left to go home. When we arrived ....
Comment preview: My sister is cruel to my mother. Occasionally they would go to the grocery store together. Very normal thing to do. My sister decides to one day get my mother's goat by asking for a candy bar in the checkout line. My sister is old enough to know better (I ....
Comment preview: I work in a grocery store and when we bag groceries we normally wrap all chemicals and cleaning products in a plastic bag. That way, if we decide to bag them with food products, in the event that the chemicals break open and spill, then it wont spill all o ....
Comment preview: Mine wasn't at home, but is in the same spirit: My wife and I were at Walmart buying some groceries. As we were standing in checkout, this horrible smell, kind of like BO, but you could was from the nether regions, starts to build up. At first, I think it' ....
Comment preview: TiTP version: Thin privilege is getting help when you need it. I was getting a small amount of groceries and about to check out. A helpful man was helping an older (thin) lady get her groceries onto the checkout counter. Great, so of course he'll help me, ....
Comment preview: Once in line with my 2 kids buying groceries midday in a nice place, the "lady" behind me interrupted the cashier asking if I found everything ok with a loud, "How about buying my groceries?" When I kindly replied that I was sorry, but the kids practically ....
Comment preview: When I was 3 or 4, I called my dad "father" and was a bit dramatic... It was Christmas Eve and we had guests over and didn't have alcohol. So we went to the grocery store. Dad says there were a bunch of grumpy women there all getting last minute items for ....
