There, there; it will be alright. Comfort yourself with your cheese.

I learnt long ago never to confuse sales assistants with ideas of trying
to even out the change. Even with a cash register that works out the
correct change for them, it's still a practice fraught with risk. Far
better to give them an even dollar note (10s 20s, etc.) rather than have
them actually try to do some mental gymnastics with the arithmetic. I
have seen them flounder in abject confusion when I have already worked
out the change required without even having the resources of an
arithmetically minded cash register.

I know only too well why some bright spark invented cash registers that
tell the sales droids exactly how much change is required to be given.
Now we need one that knows exactly what change is in the register, lists
each denomination, the quantity required, then displays it for the droid
to follow.

Amnesty International should get involved in this.
STOP THE SAFEWAY OPPRESSION AND THEIR MINIMUM IQ EMPLOYEES.

I try not to buy anything from Safeway
because of the ways they rip off their
customers, but I wanted a piece of my
favorite cheese which isn't available
anywhere else nearby.

The piece I selected was $5.26. I was
hoping I had $0.26 in change, so Safeway
wouldn't load me down with nickels and
dimes, but no such luck. I did have a
penny, so giving them $20.01 gets me to
the nearest quarter.

As expected, I only get two quarters in
change, but then two dimes and four pennies
come out. I gave the idiot checker $20.01
but he entered it as $21. I tried to
explain his error, and he tried more than
once to give me the errant dollar.

I should have taken it. When I tried to
exchange the $0.24 for the quarter he
owed me, he couldn't do it. The change
drawer had been replaced right between
the previous customer and me, and the new
one had no quarters at all! He had a penny,
so I ended up with two dimes and five pennies.
He hardly had any change at all in the new
drawer.

I will never do that again. Other stores
don't rip off their customers like Safeway
does. They are a criminal organization.
They deserve to lose whatever monies their
minimum IQ employees give away. I should
have taken that dollar and I'll never make
that mistake again!

Agree! I know one of the cashiers at one Safeway and she is fine. I always
look for her and go through her line when I can. She just doesn't seem to
work much any more.

But the Safeway that just closed here is the one where I had all the drama
last year before Christmas. So bad and convoluted that by the time I went
to Customer Service, I couldn't even begin to explain it. And the other one
in Lynnwood kept me trapped in a line for next to forever. I kept trying to
move my stuff to another line but employees kept stepping in and telling me
to stay there. Something to do with WIC and EBT and coupons or something.
It was a mess.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

Two dimes and a nickel?! What if it had been two dimes and five
pennies? OMG, that would be awful. Methinks Mark is a tad paranoid.

Thank god it was only a cent. My guess is that if it was two cents,

and a nickel.

DEAR FAT ASS

good morning fat ass
how will your day go?
will you be stared at like an enourmous blob?
or be taunted and teased all day long?

people say you can't do anything
you cant do this or that
but you will sure show them
when your fat ass is in control

it is all your fault fat ass
you live to eat and dont eat to live
well look at that fat ass
a greasy cheese burger streaming down your lips and chin

you are a worthless excuse for a human
no one wants to see fat
lock yourself inside your room
until your thin and flat



you would rather some one say
**** her anorexic ass
than **** you
you fat fat ass


words hurt as much as the weight
they will be with you forever
that extra baggage you can change
show them you can do something

No one wants to see a fat girl cry
tears of grease and blubber
you will no longer be the funny fat girl
you will be just as cool as any other

slide your finger down your throat
when you dream of grease and junk
the calories will fade away
down the toilet with one flush

dont eat today
you will prove them right
that is something
you just can't do

show them they dont
have control over everything
your weight
is something you do

Loose it all fat ass
I want to see coller bones
and down right thin

dont cry when you become dizzy
just know that it will help you in the end

You can feel good about yourself fat ass
you just have to learn control
your punishment is a life full of pain
and tears of grease and fried stuff

thin is the way you have always wanted to be
well you have a long journey to get there
but change your life
you **** of blubber

run run fat ass
let that fat ass shake
no one wants to see that shit
better run in your back yard instead

skinny
be thin
fat ass
be fat
when weighing out your options
which do you like better than fat?


its not lie fat ass
you have let yourself go
its time to buckle down
and crack those calories away


when it is all said and done
you will be worthy
you will feel alive again
see thin is the way to be

and you are just a fat ass with no control again.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.
