I dont care what anyone says, grocery pickup is nice. We finally got a WINCO here and that is where we do most of our shopping but before that we did grocery pickup all the time. It saved so much time as you dont stand in line for 30-40 minutes to checkout.
Yeah, now-a-days people go onto the internet to whine about everything and everybody. In my day a man just kept his complaints to himself.Okie dokie!
I was born in 1950 and grew up in East Texas.
We lived through hurricanes, tornados, drouths, floods, 100°+ temps, +/-20° temps and the occasional hard freeze and snow.
Until the 2nd grade, the only A/C I had experienced was at the local "Duke & Ayers" department store and the Texas Theater.
I can remember my sister and me ice skating (no skates) on our farm pond (1 acre). We didn't break through.
Our dogs lived outside. We heated the house with LPG space heaters. They were burned during the day. They were turned off every night! Regardless of night time temps!
The heat of summer meant opening every window in the house, mosquitoes be damned! Spent many a summer night, wallowing in a pool of sweat until, out of desperation, you slipped onto that linoleum floor because it was MUCH cooler!
Maybe a box fan to stir the sultry air!
These days! Freezing temps and summertime highs above 90° and the news organizations go into orbit!
Don't go outdoors without proper clothing. Drink plenty water!
The NE is flooding.
The SW is in a drought!
Subzero temps in the Great Lakes area.
Have we become a nation of "wimps"?
If something unforseen happened, would you be able to provide warmth or compensate for the heat until power is restored?
I wouldn't call not being able to elk hunt 3 states in a year soft.
They are the ones who don’t even pull out their checkbook until the checker tells them the amount - as though it is a total surprise to them that they have to pay.The reason us soft asses use grocery pickup is because of the trauma you hard asses put us through when you held up a line to write a check.
I mean I get needing glasses but who has a pen on them to write a check?Sometimes it takes me a minute to find my glasses to write a check....
If they don’t seem to know they need to pay for groceries, what makes you think they would bring a pen?
I like the look on their faces when they scan the check then give it back to them.
The question I have is why is that, almost without fail, am I the person immediately behind that person in line? I must have been a really bad person in a prior life…
“Back in my day the pen was chained to the counter!”
“And you are going to be reincarnated as the guy that always gets stuck behind someone writing a check in the WalMart line.”
