10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order...

1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags.
2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?!
3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us!
4. people who smell bad. nuff said.
5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick.
6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah.
7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom of the cereal box- it's probably cheaper anyway. but really. Like I would know where anything obscure is...what the heck is arrowroot, anyway?! arrows don't have roots!
8. when customers get to the register and then realize they've forgotten 95% of the things they need, but they just leave all their crap there and expect you to wait. Hence why my RPMs are so low.
9. 22 items in an express lane? REALLY?!?!?
10. working nights.

so with the exception of #s 6 and 10, I guess I coulda made this "10 things I hate about Hannaford customers". oh well. anyway, long day at the office. but it's all good. I got my favorite bagger for a little while after my break, and that made the rest of the shift so much better. :)

    Well I happen to know what arrowroot is lol!! You would find it in the baking aisle :) It does the same thing as cornstarch except it stays clear. And now you know.

    I'm actually going to Hannaford today around 11, so I'll look to see if you're working, and if you are I'll make sure to go to your register with a big stack of frozen pizzas. And I'll expect them to be bagged. Individually.

    Corn flake crumbs are sometimes used to coat fried foods. Hence they are usually found with the Shake N Bake, bread crumbs, etc. They're supposed to stay crunchier than bread crumbs. Never used them.

    Have a good day at work and may Dillon be your bagger. ;-)

    I hated working at hannaford bakery. The super was a goddamn bitch and there was too much inventory to make and put out. I could not churn out that much crap(people really need that much variety? No way!) So i left today. Will never be able to keep up so why try?

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

Rocks Rock

Every rock tells a story.  Sometimes it is obvious what that story is: Over time, sediment built up and created this huge sedimentary rock.  This is typical of basically all the rocks in the west.  Look at the Grand Canyon for example...that's a perfect picture of sedimentary rock eroded over time and through water and such. Sometimes the story is a little harder to find, and you have you dig deeper and know some background info about that rock or rock system: In the Rocky Mountains, specifically the Wasatch range,  the rocks started as sedimentary rocks.  Layers built up over time.  As faults formed and gave out, these layers were bent, twisted, uplifted, and changed.  The layers are not horizontal anymore, and some are twisted around like this one.  It takes more time to explain this than just looking at it and knowing which layer came first. Sometimes unless you know more about the type of rock, the climate, and erosion processes, you c...

You make me smile

Stanford Larsen:  One of my dearest friends.  Also one of the few people in this world who never let me down...ever.  Every time I think back to memories with him, i can't help but smile.  He has left a smile on my heart forever. Watermelon always makes me smile.  No other explanation needed. My cats make me smile.  They purr and are happy kitties. Snow of course.  Snow snow snow!  Snow angels, snowballs, snowmen, snow forts, snow fights, snow shoveling, snowfall, snow! My family.  They're all my best friends.  I couldn't ask for a better family...ever. Mater.  Cars.  The music in the movie.  Watching the movie over and over again, on rainy or sunny days.  Lots of memories that go with this movie, too. Country.  Country music.  Country dancing.  Country movies.  Nashville.  Country stars.  Cowboys.  One in particular.  All of these things make me smile like I'd...
