What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Luke]

I can't believe I just saw someone who identifies with Chicago say this.

Unfortunately, it's the truth. No Jordan, no go. Pippen and Grant make a great duo, but Mourning rarely misses a three and Johnson always brings the boomshakalaka.

It was a long wait.

I'll say this again; waiting sucks, but take advantage of it and embrace it as much as possible. Being stuck somewhere for a while can be a thing of beauty with the right mindset. Makes life much more enjoyable to observe and think rather than get frustrated.

Be it in traffic or standing in a line, you can't control the situation, so make the best of it. Everyone always has something on their mind, and being stuck is a great time to think over things, or think things over. Sure, I'd rather have a cigar on hand, but I enjoy getting stuck most of the time. It's a frustration you can turn into relief. It's a "Holy s#it! I can do nothing" moment. Use that time well.

That is unless you have to pee. Being stuck in line when you have to pee will never be fun.


Smile: Five shirts, yes FIVE button down shirts from the 'Naner Republic for $30usd. Sticker price would have been over $240usd. All on clearance, and I used my "I think I have a coupon on my mobile phone" trick which save me an extra 40% off.

Score.

There are non 24 hour Wal Marts? Even the one in the more rural area my parents live in is 24 hour.

Actually AppleQueso would probably like to work at one of these non-24 ones. Don't have to deal with customers while working overnight.

oh that would be so awesome

Hopefully the clerk doesn't get in trouble...

We had a woman just up and pee while in line once. So thankful to have a scrubber machine...

At both Wal*Farts I worked at the overnight guys only had to deal with customers for the first hour of their shifts.

I can't imagine stocking shelves and steering those pallets and whatnot while tons of people are milling around.

Speaking of which, I used to assume that all big box stores had overnight people and "stockers." Learned that I was wrong when I worked at Staples. All the shelves are stocked by the regular employees - during their shifts. It's amazing that stuff even makes it to the shelves on time.

It's never really "tons" as by midnight or so there's only ever a handful of people in the store anyway.

They all have coupon codes near the register. It's totally legit and I'm not scamming them. It's like going to BB&B and saying "I forgot my 20% off coupon". They'll honor it.
