I bitch everytime I'm in the grocery store about the way they sell their
produce. They NEVER know whether it's sold by the pound or the bunch. The
only way I ever can figure it out is by going thru the line; then I bitch
more and hold up the line while everyone stares at the cheap and crazy lady.
Fortunately now I can use the new weighing machine and find out before I go
thru the line.
Thank heavens for computers! I was born 50 years too darned late!
