[quote=AgrippinaX]Overseeing cosmetic makeover of the kitchen. Have already mentally parted with exorbitant sums of money, c�est la vie, I never haggle. But the noise has brought my migraines back tenfold, so I�ve resigned myself to going to bed, jewellery boxes & cash safe in hand. I guess we�ll briefly share that space before I get murdered. Can�t watch what�s being done anymore, but they�ve been good so far, so hopefully it�ll end well.[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=MovieGal][quote=Austruck][quote=MovieGal][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]When the internet sez “Costco opens at 10am” and you shrug it off. No way. Too late. How many times are these things wrong.

And yet you find yourself parked under a tree, people watching, waiting to be one of those psychos rushing in after the red door rolls up.[/font][/quote]

JCPeeney opens at 11 and closes at 7.

Before pandemic,  they opened at 9 and closed at 9[/quote]
The Sam's Clubs were at these stupid early hours even pre-pandemic. I suspect it's even worse now, though. I should probably check before I go next time. :D[/quote]

My thing is that my technicians have to complete the fire alarm inspections before the store opens but employees can't show up until 10 to let my techs in. So they have to rush a 2 1/5 hour into less than 1 hour.[/quote]

That�s so bizarre.[/quote]

We still have ours. We used to use our Zip drive as a backup and still have all those disks and the dark blue serial-cable drive, too.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Took some old VHS to get digitized and got a call that they were already done.

�Yeah, looks like somebody recorded t.v. over one of those.� :suspicious:

That�s what happens when the vcr doesn�t work and you can�t screen the material. That�s a roll of the dice handing a stranger a tape without a label on it 😬[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I�m probably just jealous from the days I worked at Costco. We had crazy hours and then Saturdays were a real nightmare, due to their overtime policies and a warehouse manager that ended up dragging down a few careers.
