The Shoutbox
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.

JCPeeney opens at 11 and closes at 7.

Before pandemic, they opened at 9 and closed at 9
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.

Understandable, but the difference between a grocery store closing at 9:00 PM versus 10:00 PM is pretty big and comes up for us a lot (since I play softball most evenings and we often can't pick up anything on the way home any more).
Walmart delivery. Just sayin'. I paid for a year's worth and it worked out to about $8/month. I "grocery shop" online at 2 a.m. and can have it delivered to the front porch usually the next day. Totally worth it, especially with gas prices. Even better than their pickup service since now I don't even have to drive.

Or try Instacart. I've used them with Aldi a few times with good success.
lol x2
Agreed. Need more Sat-Navs.
Babies are horrible at following directions.
Agreed. Need more babies.
Yeah, labor shortage will tend to do that.

Most of the Sam's Clubs around here close at, like, 8:30 p.m. We found that out the hard way a few years ago. Now we check, and even sometimes *call* just to be sure.
