| | One working mom's random musings and opinions on consumerism. It may start out boring, but it will get better I promise. Stay tuned.  | | So I went to Big Lots, without my son. While looking around, regrettably I realized that I had to pee. I've been in Big Lots' bathrooms before. But I had to go.
So I go. My MO for public restrooms is hover, pee and then kick to flush. So I hovered. I peed. I turned around to toss the tp into the toilet and kick to flush. Then I saw the sign.
There was a handwritten sign, in both English and Spanish, that said "please do not flush used tissue. It will clog toilet.... | | | Comments 2
|  | | You know you're addicted to couponing when.........
I've been feeling icky for the past week or so. Friday I went to my doctor. I woke up with the worst sore throat I've ever had. Sure enough it's strep.
First questions I had for doctor were--what to look for in my son, in case he gets it.
But my second thought was......Yay! This means I'll be getting a prescription, which means a gift card! yay! That's when you know you're addicted. You think of gift cards... | | | Comments 1
|  | | I love Big Lots. They aren't exactly known for their customer service, but I know this so the bar is set pretty low when I go in.
One time, I had a cart full of stuff and went to get in line. As usual, 7 or 8 people in line, 1 cashier. Not another soul to be found who could possibly help her and jump on a register.
All of a sudden, this young woman cashier just looked up and said "I quit. I Q-U-I-T. Quit." And she walked out. | | | Comments 0
|  | | Why, oh why, do you continue to tease me with your commercials? Why are there commercials on my tv, but no Sonic within 40 miles?
I fell in love with Sonic when we lived in the midwest. Came back east, and no Sonic. Then Sonic commercials starting appearing on my tv. Still no Sonic.
Crushed ice. It's such a simple concept, yet you're the only one who does it. And what is better than a fountain Coke with crushed ice? And your tater tots. Mmmmm. And of course the slushies.... | | | Comments 4
|  | | I just have had so much going on in my head this month, there was no room for CVS. I had a job crisis (they were going to eliminate my position!), this is a busy time of year at my work, and it's a busy time of year with my son. I have a special needs son, and this is the time of year when he gets re-evaluated in everything, in addition to we have a new specialist (an orthotist) to see and had to schedule that. This same son is also pushing through some molars (and exactly how long does it take!)... | | | Comments 0
