Easter is here and yesterday was another crazy day of last-minute shoppers, as always some complaining because we ran out of Cadbury Eggs (sorry, but we’ve had them for almost 3 months, you had your chance) and others complaining about the cost of a greeting card (Yes, $6.99 is a lot for a greeting Read More…
Bitchy Sick Note to Boss Goes Viral
So last week I talked about sick calls from employees, here’s a different take on the situation. Evidently this employee’s job required a doctor’s note for them to miss work, and the doctor used the opportunity to make a statement about the company policy. I love the “kind regards” part at the end… We Read More…
The Rising Tide of Crime
The other day I posted a photo that showed Tide being locked up in a store somewhere (turned out to be a Walgreens) and I made a comment about what a bad area that must be. Well I have since learned that this is in fact a thing in a lot of areas. Below is Read More…

Sunday Soapbox–Robotic Dialogues
Recently Walgreens told their employees they no longer need to say “Be Well” after their interaction and are not required to say “Welcome to Walgreens” either.

More Crazy Thrift Store Finds That You’d Pretty Much Have To Buy
Here’s the second (and luckily, final) part of the amazing things you can find in a thrift store. I really love the 3-man purple fleece, although I think it was originally intended for some Siamese Triplets and it’s sad that they had to sell it. Crazy Cat Lady Action figure. Now with Foo-Foo grip! Shoes Read More…
Another Great Job By The Karma Truck
Regardless of how you may feel about Chick-Fil-A and their political beliefs, you’ll have to agree that this guy got what was coming to him. It’s one thing to want to express your opinion about a fast food chain’s political agenda, but another thing entirely to intentionally berate an employee who has nothing to do Read More…
Hot Rumor: Will Walgreens acquire Rite Aid?
An interesting rumor to be sure. Walgreens has never been as aggressive on acquisitions as CVS has, but acquiring Rite-Aid would be a major coup and blow them past CVS in store size and sales. More importantly, they would also gain power for its PBM side of the business and make them a Read More…
