Why does Walmart not reduce my total if I was the one who checked myself out? Shouldnt they pay me for working for them?

Jay Leno made a joke about this last night on the Tonight Show. He say that Wal-Mart and other stores were giving customers the "opportunity" to scan their things. He then joked about the use of the word, "opportunity." He said, "Didn't that used to be called a 'job'?"

I agree, Linda! But, the Walmart that I shop (which is in the ghetto) never has all of their self check-out lanes open. Only one side is open (because the workers don't do their job and people stole a bunch of stuff), and of that one side, half are out of order. Ridiculous! ugh.

Wow! I'm loving the grammar in my comment- "he say." (That snickering you hear is the sound of my students cracking up at Mrs. Disch's grammar faux pas!) This is why we proofread!

I think they should have a timer on you so that the quicker you get checked out, the more the refund they give you for checking yourself out.

MK has the same philosophy. He absolutely refuses to use the self-checkout and says that the workers need to earn their pay! Hilarious.

Just some questions......

By
These are a few questions that have been stirring in my mind for several months. 1.Can one actually receive Christ and not live for Him until years later? 2.Can the Holy Spirit dwell in someone for 5, 10, 15 years and it not change a person? 3.What does it mean when someone says "I have been saved for many years, but NOW I'm ready to get serious about my faith?" or "get serious with God" Many people state a similar tale.... Raised in Christian home, saved at an early age, lived like a "normal" teen, experimented in college, got married and had some kids, and NOW I want to get real with God. This concept is somewhat disturbing to me. It is disturbing because that is how I was living my life for so long. Have you ever made a profession of faith? If you have look at your life 5 years after that moment..... are you 5 years more worldly? or 5 years more Christ like? do the same thing for 10 years? 15 years? And so on... God starts working on or molding His ...

Do I have to have a Christmas Tree??

By
I'm having a Christmas tree crisis this year. I have to laugh because well its one of those "that only happens to me" things. You may know that I was unable to get the Christmas tree's light to work when I originally tried to get it up one night last week. All week I patiently waited for Alan's return so he could get the lights working and we could decorate and all would be well in the land of Christmas trees. Alan started looking at the tree and he determined that it was just a broke tree. ( this was determined after shaking and twisting every single bulb ) Alan was also on call on Saturday so he is constantly being pulled away from the tree and time was ticking away. My precious time! I had made a schedule in my head as to how my Saturday was going to be played out. I even made the verbal announcement to the entire family during Saturday morning snuggle time. Well it was already well past noon and still NO TREE! So, I did the only thing I knew to do! Get the ...

Homework and monkies

By
My kids love hearing stories about mine and Alan's childhood. (Times that Alan went camping, I went fishing with my dad, we went on vacations etc.) They have their favorites in which we have to share on a regular basis. Im saying all this to give you some background so you will better understand what is ahead..... Tyson was working on his homework. He brings his assignment home on Monday and its not due back until Friday. What a blessing!!! Tyson has learned that he likes to get it out of the way first thing, but this week we have had a house full of illness causing a slight delay in getting started. Tyson is learning homophones. He had worked through the first few pages and got to the last set of homophones. (their, there, and they're) He answered the questions and then had to write 3 "funny" sentences that contained at least two of the three. He asked me for help, so I just said first you need to think of something funny and then just write your sentences from that....
