Drone delivery is the answer.

My husband loved using self checkout. Since we did much of our shopping together, I'd just stand back and let him do his thing. The one key thing that my sweetie did was to scan each item and put it in the bagging area, but hold off bagging until all items were scanned. It made bagging the items a lot easier.

Now it's just me, and I never buy an overwhelming amount of things at a time, so I don't mind using self checkout. At Costco, the clerks are all so efficient that it's usually just as fast to go through them. I do a lot of shopping at Target (headquartered in the Twin Cities, nice well run stores here) and it mostly depends on what I'm buying and how busy the clerks are. If I'm buying produce at the grocery store, I'd rather a clerk deal with scanning that in.

I wish I had started a thread on the bon mots of Mr. Silver a year ago.

The man should stick with numbers.

I just got some really bad news, my 40 something year old niece Kelly just had a heart attack and stoped breathing for probably long enough that there is very likely going to be brain damage if she does survive. My youngest son is on his way to Delaware (from Virginia) now. They have always been very close, more like siblings than cousins.

Beaming lots of love to her is all I can do.

Just heard from my brother in law that Kelly's parents, her two sons and Great Grandma are all on their way to Delaware and once everyone is there they're going to take her off life support, apparently enough damage has been done that she's not going to make it.

I can’t stop thinking about her and I have to tell a funny story.

When Kelly was little I use to keep her from time to time. She was extremely cute. Once when she was about 3 years old I ended up taking her to work with me one day, and she had a little wooden chair that doubled as a potty chair if you lift the seat and she was still in potty training so that chair went everywhere with her at the time.

There was a meeting that day everyone had to attend so I took her and her little chair and some toys to keep her occupied. Well, she was all over the place, finally the boss at his podium pointed his finger at her and said, “You, is that your chair?” Kelly froze and nodded yes. Then he said “well why don’t you sit down on it for a while”. She looked at me and back at him and then she lifted the seat, dropped her pants and sat down. I nearly pissed myself laughing as did pretty much everyone else. He gave me a shocked to death look and I said, “Don't look at me you’re the one that told her to sit on it.” Everyone cracked up laughing, it was hilarious.

That's a great story. Sounds like you worked at a wonderful place. Her reply was precious. Thanks.
