One of these is actually available at Toys R Us. They go up in price and craziness as you go down the list. I don’t have kids but if I did, I wouldn’t spend $69 on a vacuum for them unless it really worked and they could help out around the house. Read More…
Sunday Soapbox: Wishy Washy
I was in Ralphs the other day and their express lane signs said “About 15 Items Or Less.” Now granted, if someone comes through with 16 or 17 items I don’t think anyone is going to complain (well, there are some customers I’ve had that would…) but are they trying to avoid any arguments Read More…

How About A Fake License For Your Fake Service Dog?
More info on the hotly debated topic of service dogs being allowed in stores–apparently there are companies who are “certifying” animals as service dogs for a fee and giving people a “license” for a fee. It’s amazing but people are paying anywhere from $35 to $200 and in some cases it’s a repeating yearly Read More…
Fake “Service Dogs”, Please Keep Out of My Store.
As I’ve blogged about before, some people pass off their dogs as service animals in order to bring them with into stores where they have no business being. Yesterday a customer called me over to show me this loveliness in one of our aisles and guess who had to clean it up. The owner Read More…
