Did You Not See the “For Dogs” Part?
This was on someone’s Facebook page and made my day. Folks, please read your labels before making purchases, especially for your children!! Today I was in the frozen isle of Walmart doing a bit of grocery shopping. A lady whose name is Sara (it was on her badge), looks at me and says Read More…
More Funny Names for Retail Outlets
Here’s some more retailers that used a lot of ingenuity in naming their company. Hopefully the public responded. Hopefully they had good food as well.

Karma Does Its Job Again
This is from a guy on Reddit. I edited it down a bit and there have been similar stories before but it’s always fun to read about Karma having a good day, especially when it’s the stupidity of people that earn it. My favorite tale of customer service Karma involves me working Read More…
