whilst shopping at safeway this morning, half priced donuts, there were unusually long line ups at the cashiers and i may have fallen in love. a very nice looking woman standing in front of me in the line started complaining quite loudly about the lack of staff and the need to open more cash lanes. she just kept getting madder and madder until the manager came and tried to calm her down. by this time everyone in the store was looking at her. no matter what crazy thing she said, i had her back. i repeatedly told the manager that "she was making excellent points." after the commotion was done she thanked me profusely and went on her merry way. i should have given her a business card.
next i phoned my dad's credit union to check on a few items and they asked me for my date of birth followed by a myriad of other questions. i asked why so many questions and was told i gave the incorrect answer for my date of birth. i told her that i knew what my fucking date of birth was and the dumb cunt told me to check my driver's license. these dumb fucks screwed up my birth date and then told me that i had to come into the branch to prove my identity and straighten things out. to say that i blew a gasket would be an understatement. i hate credit unions with a passion and having some young dumb cunt telling me that didn't know my own birthday was the icing on the cake. the question is, should i go there with a full head of steam and raise royal shit or maybe do a little fishing to get mellow before entering the building.
credit unions and supermarkets, good practice for the upcoming shit storm at the cracker factory.
i love you sons of bitches.

I can remember way back when we wasn't allowed to say cunt on your blog but on occasion you would let us say fuck. :-)
The Safeway here is pretty damn good with checkout lines, and fix my other bitches fast when they come up.
It never hurts to get up a head of steam and raise hell once in a while, it helps keep these fuckers alert and get their ducks back in a roll, after all, they are here to serve us.
If they are not here to serve us they can just fucking go somewhere else, like we will take our money somewhere else.
The Albertsons store here has self check out lines but Safeway doesn't. I guess self check out is okay, I use it at times but I'm not fond of them, there isn't any tits standing there to admire while they check me out.
safeway here has self check out lines but i needed a store clerk to take 50% off my donuts.
every month or so i take a pocket full of change to the self serve checkout and stuff the son of bitch with coins.
Fifty percent off donuts should flag a clerk over to help you at self check out to take care of that and override the scan, at least that is how it works here.
yeah, but there aren't enough clerks and you might stand there for 5 minutes then have to give up and go to the regular cashier.
It is no wonder why Canadians like to come here to shop. Better prices and better service.
But keep in mind that I live in a smaller town, by today's standards. Smaller towns always have better service, our business people are also our neighbors, for the most part. But this town is fucking getting bigger so we are starting to lose some of that also.
it's the cheap prices not the service that attracts canucks. most canucks shopping in the states are idiots. factor in the gas and currency exchange etc and there aren't a lot of savings.
plus, most of them are buying shit they don't need.
You hate credit unions? I thought they were supposed to be on the side of the little guy and nicer than the banks. Have they pissed you off in other ways than getting your birth date wrong?
go mellow, young billy; life is short, anger is long.
But it is often the angry and disturbed that bring out better social change.
But go whatever direction that floats your boat.
gb - the service is slow and the interest paid on deposits is abysmal.
bob - pent up anger is a bad thing. the steam must be released.
bill - excellent suggestion. my boat will sail to where the fish are biting.
We have a Safeway here. Don't have much complaint as for customer services. My compliant is most of there employees there is part time. Like a lot of jobs in this area.
Plus the Safeway here has a self check out stand.
our safeway stores used to sell excellent extra lean ground beef. now it looks like regular or lean so i have to go to the small independent grocery store for the good stuff.
the safeway stuff looks like it has a bit of pink slime and it doesn't smell fresh. but i like their donuts.
I think you should go fishing first.
If you're nice and mellow when you point out their stupidity it might freak them out a little, make them wonder what's coming next.
(Especially if you can talk like Dirty Harry.)
If you're all pissed off, you're just another predicable unhappy customer.
The price one must pay for discounted donuts. Good luck with the credit union. I say raise hell BP so you are more than ready for the impending shit storm. Take care buddy.
I buy breakfast muffins at the bakery outlet, six big ones for $3.99, and they toss in a free loaf of bread with the deal. I give most of the bread to the gulls.
mr shife - i have discount donuts on my mind this morning but i have other stuff to do. rats.
bill - i had forgot all about this SOBEYS BUYS CANADA SAFEWAY.
i guess that's why safeway is going down the crapper here.
Appears to me that things are going down the crapper EVERYWHERE.
I hope all is well with fair Leslie... it's about that time. Will ALTF be providing doula services? Will the tutor provide postpartum psychological counseling? Inquiring minds want to know...
she's been keeping a low profile since the king's seahawks vanquished her beloved saints.
I think they moved her back into the isolation ward.
team cunt moved on when they couldn't break our spirit.
Or win a fucking football game.
happy fucking mother's day. i hope there's some good stuff on tv.
Fuck TV, the sun is shining..
yes, the sun is shining brightly here. i cemented a little base for the rinky dink folding clothes line yesterday and decided i needed more more concrete.
of course i have it covered so it won't dry to quickly. yesterday i had an engineer with concrete certification assisting me. today i'm adding my own fucking water.
Hum, concrete certification, he did a slump test?
no, but he jokingly mentioned the slump test.
The slump test is no joke, if concrete won't pass that test it is compromised. It is like a pussy not passing the dick test.
at our old place most of the new houses being built used totally shitty concrete that cracked and shifted and we always joked that the slump test had never been translated into hindi.
Billy, sorry, mate, haven't even read your blog, yet. However, just noticed Mr Plant, one of our finest blues throats. It's been a long time since I rock and rolled! Bin a long time, bin a long time, bin a long, lonely, lonely, lonely lonely time, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh:-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky & May The Band Of Joy Be With You! :-P
Peace,
FG...
