dammed inconvience

I had a "bigfish morning" going to the super market
for a relatively few items.

so reluctantly, i go to the self check-out convient spot
and i try to scan a dozen eggs and it won't work.

the girl who monitors the four clerkless stations
making sure they work right

starts making repairs back and forth pushing
buttons . getting assistance for the computer
to reboot the whole friggan system

then.... finally i'm told to now go
and use the ten items or
less line that has ten people in it.

I refuse to use the self checkouts at any store. They are another reason that people are getting laid off and the companies save dough. I have tried the Homies checkouts and damn near every time you scan something you have to summon a snot to tell you you did something wrong or they have to scan it for you. Put the registers back and hire someone off welfare!!!!

Ronnie, Munson was the last name of the Woody Harelson character in the bowling movie. In the movie he was grabbed by some guys and had his hand forced down a ball return and it needed to be amputated. It became known as having a Munson, or you did a Munson! Can't remember the name of the movie. KINGPIN, hilarious flick

Mucko is more Bigfish though I guess. Bigfish is inventing a new game called parking lot bowling. He takes his spare truck tire and rolls it across the local stop and .....................we'll leave it at that.
