Yeah, that’s some bullshit! I hope you got them to take it down.
Our local Target store has about 25 parking spots blocked off for online pickup, right outside the main doors. I think the most cars I’ve seen parked in those spots is two. And I’ve never understood why they need to be right outside the doors. It’s not like a handicap spot - you’re not getting out of your car, they’re coming out to you. So it’s for the convenience of the employees, not the customers.
I think doing it for the employees convenience is a great reason. After all, they don’t want to have to go looking all over the parking lot for the right car. And they may have to take stuff out for pickup all day, so it speeds things up for everyone to have the pickup be close to the door.
Yeah, but they don’t need 20+ parking spaces for it anymore. Cut the number in half and you’ve still got twice as many as you’re going to need.
Yeah, they can cut the number. But they still need some of them.
When I picked up groceries for my Mom, she would order them. The store had an ‘out’ only exit for the employees that put it together. And parking places for us lazy bums. Easier for everyone. Regular shoppers would not want to park there.
At our local Target, the pickup spaces are all in one aisle. The aisle starts two aisles over from the main door. It’s also two aisles over from the garden exit. In the middle, between them. It keeps the pickup cars easily findable but doesn’t take up all of the close spaces.
The ADA spaces do that. There are a lot of ADA spaces, and they’re always full.
Wearing a shirt with a pocket under a dress shirt. It’s a wasted pocket! It’s clean but still annoys.
Getting the cuffs of your sleeves wet while washing dishes or any other water related thing. They seem to stay damp all day.
Now there’s really an easy solution for that problem: roll up your sleeves before washing dishes or your hands.
we have those now too… not only do they feel weird (a small price to pay, i suppose) but they completely obscure the contents and i swear they make veg/herbs/whatever go bad more quickly. all things we can of course compensate for, but vaguely annoying nonetheless.
Shirts designed with sleeves that are difficult to roll up, or won’t stay rolled up, infuriate me well beyond their actual significance.
(Usually it’s because the cuffs, or the entire sleeve, are too narrow.)
If the cuffs are too narrow to roll them up, I just push them up to my elbows before handling water. I never had sleeves that were even too tight for that.
They slide back down, IME. And some of them are too tight even to push up well – there appears to be a theory among clothing manufacturers that all women have thin arms. Generally I just don’t wear shirts that are like that; but once in a while I’m given something, or buy something not expecting the tight cuffs/sleeves, that I like well enough otherwise to put up with it, as long as it’s not so bad that I can’t readily move my arms.
Yes, obviously our experiences differ, as I’m a guy with rather thin arms and never had these problems.
Or they get stretched out, and never fit your wrists properly again.
Sometimes the reason you’re washing your hands is that they are filthy and you cannot touch your sleeves to roll them up.
If I’m wearing a shirt with buttoned cuffs, I can’t roll them up more than an inch or two without unbuttoning the cuffs, and even then they don’t really stay rolled up. And I don’t want to go through the effort unbuttoning the cuffs, rolling up my sleeves, washing my hands, and re-buttoning the cuffs. Especially since re-buttoning the right cuff requires using my left (non-dominant) hand and is rather difficult.
I’m beginning to realize this guy is a noisy eater, too. So around midday I hear “slurrrrp smack smack smack smack slurrrrp smack smack burp…”
But at least that’s just once a day. I swear he chugs some water like every 10 minutes. Why is he drinking so much water? I suspect he’s fallen for that pseudoscientific myth that you must drink at minimum 64 ounces of water every day to stay properly “hydrated”.
The trick to keep your cuffs from unrolling is to roll them under, not over, i.e., inside, not outside.
