What's mildly irritating you today?

Oh well i am just glad it arrived.

Did your mum like the dates?

What's irritating me today? The fact that I go into Marks & Spencer to do part of the weekly food shopping, head straight for the bread section and nearly buy a bottle of Chateau Something-or-other instead of two toast loaves.

Why are they always reorganising their shelves? It drives me to distraction. Still, they're not as bad as Tesco. I've been in there before now and left without finding half the stuff I wanted in similar circumstances.

Mutter, mutter....


PS Does Walmart, Target and Albertson's do the same?

I ask only because on my last trip to the US, immediately upon arrival I headed straight for Albertson's (Brighton CO) for some Tylenol and they were in the same place as the previous year. I always arrive with a splitting headache but don't bring my own pills lest it cause difficulties with Customs, Immigration, TSA etc. I believe Tylenol is the same as Paracetamol but that name isn't well known in the US. Might be wrong.... has been known

In our area, Albertson's seems to have been bought out recently,
and the new managment knows exactly what you want/need.

They are moving to one size of one brand of one kind of food item
in one spot on one shelf in one section in one aisle of every store.

Fortunately, you can still choose whichever parking space you want.

Funny that you should mention parking. In Brighton the branch was just across the road from the Comfort Inn so I walked there, but I did notice that the car park wasn't exactly oversubscribed. I think that there were more kids on skateboards than cars, and bloody lethal they were too!

Don't worry about that dream. Remember you are cloaked in the armor of God. Plus, I believe in your strength.

This is the European style grocery, before I left Texas there was a chain of them--forget the name--taking over territory. A low-cost alternative where you have fewer alternatives. Purchasing and inventory control efficiency allow them to save tons of operational costs. And if you want a can of beans, here the fuck they are--what? You wanted a different color label? lol
