I Have An Attitude Problem

[Jstpssng]

Stopping off at the gas station to buy smokes. The cashier ain't behind the counter, she's effing off by the candy isles, lazily sorting out the candy or whatever...but she does see me. I give it 10 seconds before I go "The sign out front says SPEEDWAY!"

The local convenience store has one clerk who make me drive past if I know she's working. I stood at the counter one day waiting for her to decide to wait on me. Finally she strolls up behind the counter, walking to the register; and keeps walking by, out into the store area again so that she can straighten the newspapers in the display rack in an obvious F-U gesture. If I hadn't needed to pay for my gas I would have walked out the door.

I am tired of poor service at stores. Sign in front of TSC this week says Boots a hundred bucks off. Go inside and ask lady where these boots are. She says isle 5. I say, I don't know where isle 5 is, I don't work here. How about you show me where the boots are. She does, answers a few questions and I buy a pair. Maybe a bit rude on my part, but so is not doing anything at all to provide customer service. That old, here, let me help you, you might need help when you find the items you are looking for, is getting rarer and rarer all the time.

I remember seeing drive-through cold beer stores in Ohio.

Still have them in Colorado.

My brother knew of a place in ND that had a drive up window for mixed drinks!

I hope they are like the drinks at some dive in Ohio called the Green Leaf. Jack and Coke. Fill the glass with Jack and spray the coke from the soda fountain about as fast as you can squeeze and release the trigger. People apparently would go there first to get liquored up before going to some classier, more expensive place.

I made a trip to Grants NM on a compliance visit, and "got" to go down into one of the mines. I noticed when we left that evening, a line of cars about a 1/4 mile long, at a small drive through place just down the road from the mine and the mill. I asked the guy what was going on, he said it was a drive through beer beer place and the line was the miners just leaving work.

Then some stores openly state that your re usable bag is not admitted if it bears a trademark or logo that is not that store's brand.

I make of point of using a different bag, no one is going to dictate to me what bag I can use, either they want the business or they don't.

Two liquor stores south of our town do a brisk business at shift change from the coal mines south of here. Once at around 7:00 am from night shift and again at 7:00 pm from day shift.
