Speaking of inventory not being accurate, I'm about to go to Target in hopes they have this Creamy Ghost Pepper sauce so I can make something spicy for dinner. It says "Only 8 left!" at my location, which means they probably don't have any lol.

Big Lots is the other way around. Website shows no stock, but when I get to the store, they have plenty. However I can't get the discount that was for web orders only.

Simple fact is they probably DO have them

Sometimes they won't even bother to look and don't care about helping the customer (because the business doesn't pay them enough so it's their way of getting back at the employer).

Just the other day, went into a pharmacy looking for a supplement. Just when I find it, the female employee approaches me and asks if she can help me. I ask her if this is the only brand they have. She looks around for a few seconds and says, "Yeah. That's the only one". I start looking around coz something in me told me not to believe her. She went back to her seat. Just opposite from where I found the first supplement, I find another reputable brand with better ingredients.

First of all, she should have known what they are stocking. It's her job. 2nd, if she didn't know, she could have gone to her system and searched it to see if there were any matches. So I thought, she probably didn't like me and just did the minimum required to assist me. The other one, I asked her about getting a blood pressure monitor. She takes me to the shelf and starts telling me about the different models, their features and prices. She's also more attractive and more pleasant in her manner. I selected one and when she was preparing the invoice, she asked me if she could show me how to use it. And I'm like, Wow! Wonderful people still exist in this world! I declined her offer though. Didn't want her to see how fast my heart would be racing if the machine showed that :D

The cashier at the fast food drive through asked if I wanted to put a tip on the card. What I thought was funny is that she shook her bod as she asked. I don't know if she even knew she was doing it.

Internet outage. Will be repaired by 1:30p…7:00p…10:00p. Using cellular data. Staring at a book I want to read with a touch of horror. I Don’t know if I can think in more than 140 characters anymore!

The box showed no damage. He saw the damage before I did after the box top was removed.

If that was a private trucking company, make note of the name for future reference.... delivery people who actually care are a rarity these days!

What could he see that was obviously damaged?

Which TV brand was it? The packing for my Hisense 65 inch OLED was crazy sturdy and HUGE. Much bigger than the TV itself. It's still taking up space in a corner of my room coz well, it would suck if I don't have that when moving.

have a trial membership of Amazon Prime - but (as has happened several times before) I'm far too tired and lacking in concentration span to make use of it and actually watch anything on Prime Video (yet alone any of the other media it includes). I do hate the feeling of pressure to actually consume things before the free trial period expires.

Communist. You could at least spend more time enriching US business interests more. 😉
