    Cross contamination. The way they package meat at target it actually had two seals. One for vapor and one for liquid. It's stupid to worry about cross contamination for meat like that.

    I never have problems in the parking lot. It only seems to be on he stairs at home. And only a couple times a year.

        I used to do the same thing. Now I stick to one cart as I go into the store, and if someone's walking in, they'll get it for the same price (in the hopes they pass it along just like Tim Horton's where some pay for the next dude).

        When I worked at a grocery store, there were still people that would carry your order to your vehicle upon request. Obviously the person is off doing other things.

          Calling this one a gear "grinder" might be overstating things a bit, it is more like a minor annoyance, but still....

          When a leaf stem or a maple seed gets stuck under the blade of the windshield wiper and you don't notice it when you first start up the car....then after you've been driving awhile and it starts to rain and you turn on the wipers and you get that streak across the middle of your field of vision every time the wiper goes back and forth....

            I get that the Cubs are the hot thing in Chicago right now. But as a Sox fan, I'm sick of anyone and everyone taking a sh*t on the Sox's 2005 WS Title...

            Several times today I've seen stories talk about how this is the first time in 71 years that the WS has involved Chicago. Nooooooo.... It's the 1st time the WS has involved the Cubs. The city got to host two WS games in '05. How about you clarify this in your blatant, bandwagon riding cash grab
            It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

            Go Cats!!! GO BLACKHAWKS!

            Cuck the Fubs... Let's Go WHITE SOX!!!

              Well it isnt new...remember how no one cared about the Blackhawks for years

              The problem is people outside of Chicago love the Cubs...most people in Chicago dont like the Sox

                      Why do television play by play announcers have to describe every piece of the action like they're doing radio? I KNOW it's a groundball to SS. I KNOW the puck is in the corner. Maybe that's why I like British soccer announcers. They don't talk much.

                        It's called "play by play" for a reason...

                          Soccer announcers don't talk as much because its soccer, there isn't anything to talk about.

                            Probably because they got their start in radio and do what comes naturally. Or in some cases (such as the Buffalo Sabres, or a lot of the college hockey productions), they simulcast the radio presentation with the picture, so you have two different audiences.

                                I hold a great deal of knowledge about a few of our processing systems. A user of one system asked for a trade record to be moved from a status she assigned in error to something else. When I reviewed the trade record in question I found that the record had never moved from its default status. There is no way to go from the errant status in the system to its default status. So I informed the user that she provided me with bad record data, and wrote into the log that we keep that I said as much to her. Today I received word from my boss that the manager of the woman with the error took offense to me reporting in the log that I was provided with bad data and could have been falsely assuming that the user was at fault for providing me bad data.
