The Guardians have a sponsor that gives a brand new car to someone in a certain inning if the team hits a grand slam also someone else wins 4 new tires from another sponsor. Well it happened! Carlos Santana hit a grand slam. First time I heard someone won! Great job Carlos. 2 happy fans today!
Oh yea, this is the anniversary of Carlos’ debut with Cleveland 15 years ago.

EASY there Rye, nobody's saying that you can't do so if you want to. If that's your preference, go for it.
As for me, I've got more time than money, I'll wait in the cashier line. Like I said, I don't work there. Now if they offered a discount for using the self checkout, like they do for gas, I'd be all over it.
Like I said to Forty you do you and I’ll do me. Have a great day!

Do you save any money for doing their job for them?
Are the waiting lines any shorter?
If you answered "no" to either one you're getting shafted.
I don’t save any money but I save time and there’s hardly ever a line and it’s always shorter than the cashier line.
I disagree about getting shafted. I’m glad to get out of there in a hurry so I saved time and time is money so they say!
How about you do you and I’ll do me?-

I generally only have a few things no matter where I shop,I’m out everyday so no need to have a full cart of groceries so that said I like the self serve it’s quick and convenient. I have no problem at all.

If someone asked what my dad’s name is or was I would still say” His name is Sam”. Maybe it’s weird but that’s what I would say.
Well I was never good at English, I cut the class all the time. You guys is right it IS if he’s alive and WAS if he’s not alive.

George Washington WAS the first president of the United States. The first president of the United States WAS George Washington. The president of the United States from 1789 to 1797 WAS George Washington.
Does not sound right to ask:
Who IS the first president of the United States? Who IS the president of the United States from 1789 to 1797?
Can say my dad IS deceased. If he WAS deceased, that would also be strange. And while George Washington WAS the first president of the United States, he can not be replaced by a new first president. Nobody else IS the next first president.
Yes, this works. It is present tense. George Washington is buried at Mount Vernon.
If someone asked what my dad’s name is or was I would still say” His name is Sam”. Maybe it’s weird but that’s what I would say.

I would say IS whether he’s dead or alive it’s still his name and always will be.

That's totally idiotic.
Rival, for example. Rival make small kitchen appliances. So they want to sell a griddle to Walmart, but Walmart onceWANTS it priced so cheaply that Rival can't afford to make it and make it good. So they make it junky and it lets you down a month after you bought it.
Are you going to say I BOUGHT A GRIDDLE FROM WALMART AND IT WAS CRAP, or are you going to say THAT DAMN RIVAL GRIDDLE I JUST BOUGHT WAS GARBAGE?
You're going to remember that it was a RIVAL, and not so much that you bought it at Walmart, and you will never buy another Rival kitchen appliance.
They might still make the cheap garbage griddle to sell to Walmart. But they won't put their name on it. They'll say it's an Equate griddle - Equate being a Walmart store brand. But it won't say anywhere on it it's a Rival, so when it fails you won't have bad thoughts about Rival.
No major company is going to sell junk with their name on it. Their name is too valuable. If RCA, for example, buys their televisions from the Shing How electronics company in Shanghai China, and they have a really cheap crappy one made especially for Walmart, they will sell it to Walmart with the name Shing How. But they're not going to put RCA on the box. The name RCA is worth too much money to put on garbage.
Exactly! My friend bought a name brand TV at Walmart, can’t remember exactly what brand but it was a decent price and he’s had no problems with it. I think it was a Vizio but not sure. 🤔

The Walmart in Marana USED to be good, but I haven't been back there in years. The Walmart in Casa Grande is low class and getting worse with all thew hooligans we are importing from Commiefornia. I avoid the place. Light shopping, Frys up on the north side of CG. Nice people. Heavy shopping, we go up to the Costco and WinCo in Chandler, never a problem at either one. I love WinCo, wish they would open one down here. Alas, we are getting an Aldi's. We went into one to see what we were going to get, and walked out without buying a thing.
One interesting thing is people always told me the applainces and such Walmart carries are the "lesser quality" even from name brands. I bought a vacuum cleaner from Walmart, and it failed in a few HOURS. I took it back, no problem exchanging it, and the next one last a few DAYS. Sometime later I was with my best friend at Best Buy, found a vacuum for a good price and took it home. Turned out it was the exact make and model I had purchased from WallyWorld. It lasted about 3 years. Coincidence? I tend not to think so.
My bro in law told me the same thing but I know plenty of people that bought different electronics from them and they were fine. I bought a radio/cd player a few months ago and also a small tv that I still have it’s about 15 yrs old. It’s in the basement and doesn’t get used much at all. I tend not to believe that “lesser quality” theory.

In the 70’s I loved Hard Rock. I also liked Funk. I had one friend that also liked Funk. He and I would hang out and listen to Parliament, Sly and the Family Stone, Kool and the Gang.
Good Times.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Stone. Thank you for some great music.
Yep and Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, Average White Band, a whole slew of funk and R&B. I also loved Motown.

I had a Wiley Clapp 1911 officers model, wound up trading it for a COLT SAA. It was a great gun but I wanted the SAA for cowboy shooting.

Sooo... I packaged up the 55" TCI ROKU TV. Bought it about three weeks ago when the last one died at two years of age. (This time I bought the 'extended warranty!')
Anyway, the old dead set worked well until it didn't; crisp, bright picture. The replacement I bought three weeks ago was terrible! Picture was dark and picture quality horrid - fresh, broadcast programs had the appearance of soap operas fifty or more years ago. So, finally I boxed it up and with dread hauled it back to Wally World.
Surprisingly painless! The actual return and credit took about five minutes ~ ten minutes later I was checking out with a new replacement. Had to argue with two young worker fellas that no, the old man really does not need help hauling it out and loading it in his truck.
For some reason, off in the distance I kept hearing the Twilight Zone theme....
Walmart has always had the easiest return policy! Glad ya got taken care of!😎
