Lance Baer?Have you thought about testosterone and steroids?
I need a refill some mutant with anger issues took offense to the idea that I just can't freely take time off. Mutant goes by the name of "Patronick".
He needs to get a grip. Most of our fans are awesome. He makes me want to tell him to grow up and slap him simultaneously. After all the yrs he has watched hockey you think he might figure it out but I do not hold my breath. Do I need to ding him or should we just let his sanctimonious self be sanctimonious? Part of me thinks he would enjoy the attention and I don't want to do anything that makes him happy

They probably aren't allowed to tell a customer they have to go to another line (especially if they have already been in line), as it is viewed as poor customer service, even though it inconveniences more people.No need for this here. It's tLodge and these types of responses don't go here. I did ask and got the answer, but I probably should have asked elsewhere to avoid this kind of situation. Apologies to all.
And now to completely change the subject to something that's more Lodge focused.....I need to find a way to create a cash register system for supermarkets that have a 12 Items or Less express line that makes the cash register stop and not take any more items after, say, 15 items. The mega huge supermarket I go to has one lane for 12 items or less that they make into three to speed up and get people through. It's very smart of them. They have an employee to manage the line and tell you which of the three registers to go to and I would think they would look at someone's carriage and go "Yeah, you have about 25 items there. Please go to one of the 36 other registers we have open." But because he did not do that, someone in front of me was allowed to go through a 12 Item or Less register. Someday I will create (or work with someone to create) that system so people who disregard that rule will get stuck and have to repack their carriage and go wait in another line.
3. The Gophers clinched a share of the Cup last night...one of their coaches smuggled the Cup up to Bemidji in his 1994 Nissan Sport so they could have it.
But I'm too hung over to be angry.
so my coach is announcing his retirement tomorrow...
I go to the self-checkout regardless of how many items I have. I can scan faster and bag groceries more efficiently than the knuckle-draggers they have at the registers.

That gives you time to write out the check, right?I make them scan my stuff

This. I have never been thru one of those things that it didn't take longer than waiting in line.I never use those. I can never UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT IN THE BAGGING AREA get them to PLEASE PLACE THE SCANNED OBJECT IN THE BAG work right, they're too PLEASE WAIT FOR CASHIER TO VERIFY PURCHASE finicky.

It depends entirely upon what I'm buying. If they're simple things that are dry and standard in both size and weight, I'll use one. If it's something sold per-pound like produce, no way. If I have something where the bar code might get obscured with perspiration (dairy or frozen goods), again, no way.I never use those. I can never UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT IN THE BAGGING AREA get them to PLEASE PLACE THE SCANNED OBJECT IN THE BAG work right, they're too PLEASE WAIT FOR CASHIER TO VERIFY PURCHASE finicky.
I'm curious as well.Can someone explain how this "Grant Potulny drives a minivan" thing got started? The Googles do nothing.
