Random Bitching Monologues

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

people who write farging checks at the grocery store. 

Holy Lord yes.  I saw someone writing a check for wine and beer at the "Total Wine" store last week too.

Ridiculous.

[SunMo]

i write checks at the grocery store all the time, just to annoy people.  in fact, i know i could be filling in the check while they ring up my shtein, but i don't.

Freeloaders suck:

[ice grillin you]

i also despise people (and this includes friends of mine) who take large bar or restaurant tabs and itemize them to find out EXACTLY what each person owes....take the total and divide it by the number of heads you dope...if money means that much to you perhaps you shouldnt be wasting it on beer and eating out

[Diomedes]

Our finance director just issued an email to about 40 people directing them to stop placing sales and purchase orders in units of measure other than cases, because it causes the inventory manager the trouble of making conversions between units/cases.

The request is stupid for two reasons:
a.) there are well known, valid business reasons for using cases here and units there depending on the situation; reasons so common and legit that it's amazing the finance director could be ignorant to them
and
b.) the challenge (such as it is) of converting 12 units = 1 case is fundamental to the duties of an inventory manager; complaining that he has to make conversions is like a bank teller complaining that customers sometimes make cash depostis with different value notes, and they don't like adding 1s and 5s and 20s..

I responded (to all) with something less than perfect corporate decorum explaining as much, and yet I still want to smash his face in.

Dio do you work at a wine distributor?

[Diomedes]

Supplier, not distributor.

[Seabiscuit36]

Well when you make the move to Baltimore drop a case off in Elkton MD

Yeah really.  If you can't work on the barter system with your friends, you shouldn't have friends.  For example if one person pays less than their overall quantity buy a round at the next joint or the next time you are out.

I could not agree more. This annoys me to no end. I do't let it happen these dyas. I just shout them down, and if they persist just tell them that pay whatever they want and I'll cover the difference, thereby shaming them.

Also, We all know that big bar/restuarant bills can get out of control and some people can't afford that shtein.
If you are at a restuarant and come late and just get drinks, then you can get a separate check/throw 20 bucks. Once you have some food, even if it's a farging green salad, you are in for the total.

When was a young, struggling parent, I would routinely write checks at the grocery store. A day or two before my paycheck was in the bank to cover it. And I would write the check for more than the order, so I'd have some pocket money. I lived on the float system for several years. Checks probably clear much faster now, so it's not as easy to take advantage of the merchant's sloth.

I've written a check at the grocery store exactly 1 time in the last 6 years.  The one time I did it was about a year ago and it was like 2 days after payday.  I had left my check card on my desk at home (probably after ordering a farg doll online or something) so I have to write a check.  I had forgotten to transfer money from my savings to my checking account on payday so I only had a few bucks left in checking.  When the cashier ran my check she told me it was declined. 

I don't know if all businesses have this high speed method of rubber check detection but I can tell you that the farging Food Lion is on top of this shtein.   

[Father Demon]

What kind of doll?  I need to get Phanatic something for Christmas.

[Sgt PSN]

I believe it was the hbionic Chug-o-matic 3000 with deep throat action and kung fu grip.  They said it was the most life like sex doll ever created.  And they were right.  Unfortunately it was so real it smelled Mexican, immediately went on welfare and invited 20 of it's closest relatives to move in. 

On the plus side though, my lawn has never looked greener.

Yeah, it's pretty common these days. My check floating days were about 20 years ago, and technology has caught up with me. Fortunately so has my paycheck.
