Interestingly, in Canada, inflation is all Trudeau’s fault, even though prices are rising all around the world.
I just wish they’d get their stories straight. On the one hand, Joe Biden is a doddering old fool, suffering from dementia,…
On the other hand, he’s a master criminal,
He is Shrodinger’s President.
This thread has popped back onto the latest, and thus I read through it and have a few that may or may not have been lumped into things such as ‘wokeness’, but feel that they’re specific enough to have their own entry.
Kneeling for the National Anthem
Flag Burning / Desecration (Which Trump said should be punished by jailtime in 2020)
I’ll add any others that percolate through the mind.
I guess I was wrong that sex toys probably were not being sold in chain stores. Doesn’t bother me though, I just didn’t know. I have never been in a Target and rarely go into a Walmart and I’m not cruising the aisles - it’s in and out for the one thing I need.
I wonder if the sale of sex toys in these stores coincides with the start of self-checkout? No more checker scanning the item, then looking up at you? 
If I remember right, you work at Winco, the best grocery store around. I know when I was a checker at a grocery store, I had to refrain from commenting on purchases sometimes. 
No comment.
No comment here, either…
It’s an old tradition. Remember the neck massagers sold by mail?
But remember, it’s the left that engages in doublethink.

Every Accusation Is A Confession.
Just call me Tobias Funke. Any one have a hand-held recorder I can borrow?
Well, the self-checkout clerk does have a screen that shows us everything you ring up.
Damn, that explains so much.
Hopefully the screen is blurry
Still easier to avoid eye contact 
Not sure I’ve ever had much eye contact with a WinCo checker, especially if I’m in the lane opposite the POS terminal. I’m too busy bagging.
FWIW, we don’t sell sex toys.
Yet.
It’s my boss’ opinion that we’ll probably be selling marijuana within the next ten years, but that’s a whole other can of worms.
Bagging. Hmmm. So that’s what they call it now. Shameful I say!
The mention of butt plugs has dispelled my usual puzzlement as to what causes Tucks to have that odd facial expression.
They also make a not insignificant amount of money from slotting fees.
I’m no expert on retail, but IMO that amounts to the same thing.
If the product wasn’t moving, pretty quickly the middleman would stop paying those slotting fees. Given 10 years now, I’d expect that if the sex-toys-at-Target experiment had failed the slotting fees would have dried up about 9 years and 6 months ago.
Or more accurately, that middleman would’ve long ago stopped paying slotting fees for the non-moving product line and would instead be paying a slotting fee for a different line that people actually buy.
Not so much an odd facial expression, but (ahem) discomfort.
