Am I unreasonable Check : At the mall on a Sunday - Capstern Dec 15, 10:45 14

  - He didn't like another customer so he yelled at someone else. -- nm - David Dec 15, 11:02
  - VS apparently only had one cashier working on a holiday weekend. - ty97 Dec 15, 10:55 3
    - 6 registers going. Servicing 3 lines. was almost comedic how busy it was -- nm - Capstern Dec 15, 10:56 2
      - If there were six registers, then one of those registers being clogged shouldn't have had that much of an impact. -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 11:01 1
        
        was nuts...if they had set up to have 2 registers per line wouldnt have been so bad so yes a little bit store fault but the rude factor just drove - Capstern Dec 15, 11:03
  - Lady effectively shops (by sending minions and using check out register) while forcing me and 15 others to wait for 30 min in check out - Capstern Dec 15, 10:50 6
    - That's really bad customer service. Staff should have moved her out of the line until she was done shopping. -- nm - TWuG Dec 15, 10:54 1
      - Agreed. And what I told the manager. She went and gave people in my line coupons or something - i left -- nm - Capstern Dec 15, 10:55
    - if there were 15 people in line, sounds like you should have complained to the store for lack of coverage. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 15, 10:51 3
      - 3 lines - 10-15 deep per line - 6 registers going (all of them) -- nm - Capstern Dec 15, 10:52 2
        
        my point stands. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 15, 10:52 1
        
        If the store had any more capacity to do more I would have complained but they were doing all they could. Hell - Capstern Dec 15, 10:55

- interesting. -- nm - Andie Dec 15, 10:49
- never heard of it. It's heavy, 11lbs? I wonder how much salt is leached into the food while cooking? -- nm - decline Dec 15, 10:41 3
  - considering you can scrub it clean with water, I'd say not much leaches, not like rubbing granule salt on the roast -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 15, 10:48
  - you're foodie-ish, right? and you are intrigued at least? -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Dec 15, 10:43 1

- first time I have ever hear of them. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 15, 10:38

- Has it finished? Did it vary from the Broadchurch story? In what way? - TWuG Dec 15, 10:39 3
  - really big huge gracepoint spoilers - Diva Dec 15, 10:43 2
    - I'm glad we didn't watch it. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 15, 12:35
    - Thanks. That sounds like a bad change to me. -- nm - TWuG Dec 15, 10:46

  - I watch Chicago Fire. It's decent -- nm - oblique Dec 15, 10:38 1
    - my wife watches both, but after Third Watch I figured I'd take a chill on cop/fire shows in Chicago -- nm - Beaker Dec 15, 10:38

  - (Your gift should be to go with him, too.) -- nm - JaxSean Dec 15, 10:23 1
    - you are the perfect person to ask - would I like Railroad Earth? - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 10:30
- I'd say its unusual, but that does not mean you shouldn't do it -- nm - Roger More Dec 15, 10:22 7
  - I don't think I have ever known anyone who went alone to a concert. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 15, 10:22 5
    - People always say they don't like to do it, but I go to concerts alone all the time -- nm - con_carne Dec 15, 10:35
    - So what? Circumstances of the case - he's excited about it and doesn't have any friends to go with. -- nm - Roger More Dec 15, 10:25 3

    - I don't LOVE the movie, but I think all the parts are necessary. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 15, 10:15 3
      - I think 'travel to Minnesota' arc could go and we'd lose nothing important. - ty97 Dec 15, 10:17 1
        
        I'm assuming you mean the 'travel to Wisconsin' one? I like that one, it's pure comedic relief. -- nm - Shaun Dec 15, 10:18
      - I mostly agree here, but if I *had* to cut an arc, it'd be Linney's. -- nm - Shaun Dec 15, 10:16
