I am totally immature in the humor department, too. It must be an old habit b/c I can't help but snort when someone makes a reference that could be misconstrued. LMAO
I got my immature humor from my dad (who is 61 and still laughs hysterically over fart jokes). Now, it's the equivalent of saying "that's what she said" to almost everything, lol.

Quote from MaceandMe :
They have told me that they are timed, doesn't matter how much someone buys or how many coupons they get timed. One told me that he uses the hand scanner to scan coupons really fast so his time doesn't go too long. Once I had an LOD make me check out each item separately. Cashier said he loved it because each transaction was like 20 seconds. This seems to really only matter for new cashiers though, the ones that have been there couldn't care less.
So it's not some ratio of time per total # items? it's just time per transaction? WOW! My T is adding the expanded grocery section so I can only imagine someone doing their entire weekly grocery shopping trip with a cart full of stuff....and Qs.....and with their lousy set-up for bagging stuff....those poor cashiers are going to have it tough.

I think I'll do what Ank suggested and keep my transactions on the smaller side.

My dad is pretty technologically challenged (but still WAY better than my mom), so we bought him one of those putty things in a tube and when you push it down it does the fart sound. He used to take it traveling and use it in the bathrooms on the plane laugh out loud

Quote from dreemedayze :
DH is driving me to my moms. I hate hate hate not being able to get up and go like I used to.

I agree that kids are impossble to shop for. My son is SIX and wants an urlhasbeenblocked. He's out of his flippin mind. If he was responsible and showed any care whatsoever to the tons of other stuff I'd bought, I might consider it. I spent almost 200.00 on his DSi and it's broke.
My kids are the same way, although they have kept their DSs (after much nagging) for 4 years now, so they will be getting DSi XLs (which have a price drop soon) for Christmas. Of course, now my DDs DS just disappeared, but we have searched everywhere (even thru the trash vomit ), and we are pretty sure it walked off with a neighbor kid.

Quote from mama2cole :
I agree. You can get something nice for that price. I know that someone posted about the FLIPs being clearanced out at T, but I'm not sure if that's still going on.
I'm the one who posted that, they are still great deals, If you can find them. The DPCI and link to the pic I posted was in the Deals Wiki.

Quote from love2beeamom :
yeah, that is more than MY camcorder cost.. I got my DD who is 15, a video camera last Christmas, but it didn't work well. I have been watching those FLIPS.. I found some last week that were half off @ 99.00. But I was really hoping to get them cheaper, so I didn't pull the trigger.. Of course they are gone now.. They actually scanned INF, but the guy said the last price was 99. I thought it had to go to 75% off before salvaged??
Higher end items usually go after 50%. If it rings up INF, ask to talk to a LOD, they can do an additional markdown, that's how we've been getting them for 75% off. (In fact, my LOD bought 2 after I found them INF Wink )

Quote from myluvjustice :
I got two spoiled brats dd is a total diva, luvs clothes, I'm think gc maybe? But got to have something unwrap. And they both still believe in santa so I'm screwed
Mine do too, and they are 7 & 9! I was sick of never getting any credit, and the mentality of "why do we need to save money for Christmas, Santa makes all his toys". A few years ago we explained that Santa brings 1 bigger present, and Mommy (and Daddy, even though he does nothing except pay for them) get the rest.

Quote from Jpow5 :
Cashier profiling has helped me find a couple of cashiers that are usually Q friendly. However, during my last run I was chit chatting with one of them and he implied that next time I should use someone else's lane because they get timed and when I have one TQ and one MQ for each item, plus a few beepers, plus the sobe BOGO that never seem to scan the first time, it hurts the timing numbers-that's how they get evaluated and get more hours on the schedule, etc. Do scanning lots of Qs in one transaction really count against the cashier?

I'm wondering if that's why some of the new TMs freak out when I pull out the Qs and they end up flipping on the light almost immediately. Or why a previously Q-friendly cashier, gets grumpy.

My transaction wasn't even that big:
6 sobes
5 quaker
4 Kikkoman
1 clearance jeans
We do get timed on our transactions, and the things that kill our scores are checks or cash, coupons, and hanging clothes! If you glance at the screen before or after you have checked out, there will be a percentage up there and a letter. Above 90 is good, under is bad. G is good, R is bad, so you may see "94% GRGGGGRGG I was "talked to" once from the GSTL about my score, which was after one of the "field trips" from a place that helps teach "dinosaur special" people to shop. And FYI, we are not supposed to suspend transactions if someone is taking too long. It is against policy. (It doesn't stop people from doing it though).

Mine too, well now he's a Project Manager, but he still knows how to fix PCs, he used to be a tech for UGA.

I have the super techie, and I am the car/house fixer Big Grin My dad was a contractor, and I spent many summers roofing barns and stuff. My favorite Christmas presents are tools!

laugh out loud A commercial was just on for Viagra, and it said this:
To avoid long-term injury, seek professional help if your erection lasts more than 4 hours!
As a woman, can I just say "OW!"

It sounds like I missed some good posts in Deals.

Guess who is in charge of Halloween stocking now I don't mind actually, it's nice and quiet (our seasonal is the back corner of the store). I can't imagine why I was picked, since I am the only person on the hard lines push team that actually cares where stuff goes, and checks the numbers.

C9 Womens shirts finally went clearance here woot Socks are still not. We have a woman who comes in every morning and looks for deals on clearance and stuff. I asked her today if she ever uses coupons (I never seen her have any). She doesn't EEK! I gave her my last 3 C9 coupons I had today. I picture seeing her on Hoarders some day, because I have ran into her in the Athens store too. Although, people probably think the same thing about me. laugh out loud

I've attached 2 pics for your viewing pleasure. A few days ago there was talk of diets and cookies. The one pic is a sign that I have in my kitchen. I found it at Hobby Lobby. I also have another one that says, "I like hugs, I like dishes, what I really LOVE is help with the dishes!" Big Grin

Second pic is a t-shirt for a co-worker. My oldest DS owns a store in MelinMO's area (Ozark), and this is one of the shirts that his store has for their "work shirts". If you ever had the original NES, you know how true this is! laugh out loud

Aww how old?
I'm thinking about trying to get back into the Big K. I just hate that dirty, dirty place. By the way, if you do MCR there is a $10 K GC up now.

My kid farking loves playdoh. I brought a bunch on vacation with us because I could care less if it gets ground into the carpet here.

Are they the beep free kind? Those are my favorites.

My Jedi once told me that they do take into account number of items and if you have coupons on the time thing. But she also ended up leaving to go to Florida State so I'm not sure how smart she is.
