Yea talking to a boring cashier that wants nothing at all to do with you is also one sided! Most of the time they have to wait for a mgr or asst mgr or supervisor!

i try to get them to open up with my charm , its a challenge but it can be fun , often they do and sometimes i get things back i dont expect but its generally fun and mostly pleasant , i like dealing with humans - even when i dont like the human im dealing with , 

While I don't necessarily want to deal with people, I'd rather that then depend on a computer. 

Besides, sometimes it's interesting. The last few years, I found that more people than not had similar political viewpoints to mine.

Several times at protests she was involved with I've seen photos of her being carried away by 3 or 4 policeman.  She's just leaning back with a smug smile on her face collecting her paycheck. 

But for some unfathomable reason, they keep letting her go. If they'd actually toss her in jail for a week or two and treat her like any other inmate, that smile would disappear.

Yea thanks but I like the grips that are on it so you do you and I’ll do me! 

If it works for you then that's all that counts. I was just adding to the conversation.

Not so into how it looks, I’m more interested in how it shoots. Those grips will make it much more comfortable to shoot!

I think that if it had grips like this it would be okay. 

This is one of my Taurus 85s, and these grips are fine. And they're smaller that those Colt Grips.

I don't know how happy you are with your internet provider, but I have Google Chrome. With Chrome, you can log onto it from any computer. When you do, it will be your homepage with your email, favorites, etc. 

I'm currently on my desktop Windows 10 confuser, but if I log onto my Windows 8 laptop, it's exactly the same. 

I know some people don't like Chrome, but I'm fine with it. I figure that my info is already out there, so Chrome isn't telling anybody anything that they don't already know. And if you add AdBlock and Adblock Plus, you don't get any ads, even on youtube.

Her statement was purely her own.

"The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision-making at Walmart," the company said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch.

Sorry we’re hijacking your thread Rye

 

When I went to work in Charlotte the very first question I was asked by nearly everyone was “Who is your favorite college team?”I always said “I don’t have one.” and that was always met with confusion or anger or surprise. 

As you may know from previous threads, I have no interest in ANY sports. Some years back, the place I worked got in a stock of hardhats with various sports team logos on them. The guys were all grabbing one with "their" team on it. I, of course, was not participating. They all knew how I think about sports, so naturally they started asking me which team's hardhat I was going to get. 

I walked over to the display, and picked one "This is my team" I told them:

I have never seen a place that reveres their University soooooo much. It’s almost uncanny. 

You've obviously never been to Columbus Ohio or Tucson Arizona. 

In Ohio, they love the buckeyes SO much that if you don't, and they know it, you're treated like you are mentally ill. Some years ago, my wife, daughter, and I went to dinner with my ex-sister and her family at a local restaurant. EVERY table in the place had somebody wearing OSU apparel. Including my brother in law. If you're looking for souvenirs in Ohio, you will have a VERY hard time finding anything that isn't OSU related. When I was growing up there in, the 1960s, the football coach was Woody Hayes. He was so revered that anybody running for ANY office in the area, as far ahead as the 1980s would automatically get elected if he could say that he played football for Woody Hayes. When I was getting married the first time, it was on the day of a game. My family was all gathered at the church, all ready for us. But the preacher was nowhere to be found. Finally my Best Man and I went looking. We found him in his office, watching the game. He FORGOT that he was supposed to be Marrying us.

As for Tucson, attitudes are very similar over the U of A Wildcats. When I was actively shooting Cowboy matches, I've seen people leaving the match early because there was a football game coming on. When the wildcats went to the Rose Bowl, in about 95 if my rememberer is right, they got their picture on the cover of Sports Illustrated, there were PILES of the magazine EVERYWHERE. When I was checking out at Walmart, the cashier was absolutely flabbergasted that I didn't want one. She just kept saying, "But it's the Wildcats!"

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?

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.

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'm the same way. If asked, I tell them that the cashiers that they DO have are getting paid to run the register. I'm not, so I won't. 

I've found that if you ask, someone will run the self checkout for you. 

If they ever say that they can'/ won't, I'll tell them they've got two choices: Either they can find someone to check me out, or they can find someone to put the stuff in my cart back on the shelves.

Apologies for putting this here, but it does qualify as useless and factish and maybe fun-ish and certainly not worth a new thread.

Sometimes I think that we need a thread of Alpoesque questions. Certainly if he just asked his questions there it would cause the Saloon to have a few less pages. We could all ask things there.

I think that next time I have a question for the Saloon, I might start such a thread. 

[What goes around comes around]

I've lived in Arizona for 35 years. I've had a few encounters with LEOs, including a number at the Douglas Az. DOT scalehouse. With one or two exceptions they've all been positive. The one or two were Tucson Cops, (From Somewhere Else I think), who were nervous about my guns. They were still polite and professional.

Here's a fun exercise - especially with younger folks.  Pick a place that you go to fairly regularly.  

Better, tell your Millennial Grandkid to navigate ANYWHERE on a paper map. 

A few years ago when I was planning my first Arizona to Ohio road trip, I went down to the Truckstop and picked up an Atlas. When I showed the guys at work, they were astonished. Even the other truck drivers. Same thing when I pulled out a collection of CDs the I keep in the Jeep.

I'll agree with the premise. 

 

I do believe strongly that the tires sold/mounted by Walmart and Sams is NOT of the same quality as the same brand of tires sold at the smaller "actual" tire retailers.

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. 🤔 

Tires, no matter where they're sold OR made, (China, Korera, etc.), must meet US DOT standards. Walmart can sell name brand tires simply because they can buy 200,000 tire at a time where Bob's tire shop might get a couple hundred at a time. The same way that they can sell Wrangler Jeans for less than Bubba's Cowboy Palace. Walmart is buying 50,000 of each size at a time where Bubba is only buying a dozen at a time.

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. 

Dapper Dave, I don't know how far out of Tucson you are, but I frequent the Walmart at Foothills Mall, and it's a pretty decent place. You might give them a try unless it's just further than it's worth for you to travel.
