So many people babbling about gunshots, it never ends. Listen, Mabel, I grew up in a rural area where guns were just another tool, and if you have to ask ‘was that a gunshot?’...it wasn’t. If it WAS a gunshot, you say HOLY poo poo WHERE DID THAT GUNSHOT COME FROM. And just because a car drives down the street slowly doesn’t mean it’s burglars casing your house in order to steal your valuable collection of milk glass and commemorative plates, it’s usually a DoorDash or Uber or Amazon driver trying to read your lovely excuse for address numbers. rant over. I uninstalled after about two weeks. All the lost pets made me sad as well.

Like, dude, I knew you when you were a teenager and you were a loving idiot who dressed terribly and listened to lovely music, just like the rest of us, leave the poor kids alone. They have less to look forward to than we did and are trying to deal with it the best they can, STFU. Fuckin’ douchebags.

I get at least one ‘MY WORKTRUCK WAS STOLEN WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF TOOLS IN IT Nextdoor message a week, as well as other break-in complaints. It’s like, Dude, we live in a semi-sketchy area, why on earth are you leaving anything saleable on the street? I’ve lived here for 18 years and never had anything hosed with, because I don’t leave ANYTHING visible inside a car or truck. If I had a work truck or van full of tools, I’d sleep in the loving thing, those vehicles are like catnip for tweakers.

My GF used a mobile vet that specializes in at-home euthanasia when her beloved little dog reached the end of the road - he was at least 16 and couldn’t move his hindquarters properly anymore. It was a bit cheaper than bringing him to the vet, but much easier on the dog. And us, truthfully - it was mid-Covid and they weren’t letting people in to the vet’s office with their pets, so the thought of the poor creature’s last minutes would be spent in a strange place and with unfamiliar people was horrible.

It is all self-bagging unfortunately but they are cheaper than any other major grocery store in town and have a pretty decent selection. Winco loving rocks, they spoiled me for every other grocery chain. Just like when I was a kid - more than three or four customers in the lines? Call back for MORE CHECKERS. Plus their bulk-food section is amazing in its breadth, do you know you can buy the Mac-n-cheese powder that comes in the little envelope by the pound? At Winco you can. Too bad they’re not more widespread.

therobit posted:Yeah, the other thing I like is that because of the true employee ownership and it being an union shop, the benefits there are apparently really good. From what I have been told by people in the grocery industry, if you work at Winco as a checker for an entire career and take your stock grants and pension, you can retire pretty comfortably. For this reason they also have people there that have been there forever and don’t seem burned out and dead eyed. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my mom knew the cashiers at the grocery store because they had all been there for years and were able to make a working class living checking groceries rather than struggling to keep their head above water. Most definitely. Back when I was driving semi-trucks after the ‘08 meltdown, I was going to try to get a regional route with Winco because of the good labor reputation it had.
