Working behind the scenes with retail pricing (not Walmart) I can say this is 100% how it works.

Also have been given a sheet listing all of my department's products that were below a specific profit margin. Told that we had a sale coming in 2 weeks so make sure to raise prices on those before then so that I didn't have a drop in my overall department sales. If the customers noticed and asked, we were to inform them the 'sale' was to offset the price hike that just happened because we were looking out for them.

I got a new cell phone right before a vacation a few months ago. I 'hid' the old cell phone so it wouldn't get moved or wander off while I was out of town because I still needed to transfer everything.

I'm sure I'll find it someday.

It's a goodwill donation. You don't touch the incoming stuff with your bare hands.

I can understand this point of view.

But I can also condemn them for doing it.

This article wasn't 'written'. I'd guess it was generated from a video clip.

We need to consume less disposables, but few of us are willing to tolerate even the slightest inconvenience. I'm not sure you can fix that problem without education at a young age. If you can't fix the human greed issue, then you need to learn how to control it. Stop letting corporations and billionaires have all the money. If the population has a higher income, they can afford to pay for things that cost more to produce in a sustainable fashion.

Nationalize Corporations and use the profits to fund UBI and disability programs.

The dwarf version is the one that I always quote.

If you can grow spicy tomatoes you can grow regular ones.

I'm pretty sure Than Brothers (Seattle famous Thai location) did this with their stock broth.

This is how you start the Great Robot War.

Vegetarian for over 20 years. Most of my chili is "leftovers chili". It's about the flavor more than the ingredients. I suppose it's more of a chili flavored goulash technically.

Usually starting with black beans, chick peas, tomatoes, peppers and chili spices. Then whatever leftovers I don't want to eat get chopped up and added. My favorite leftover is old French fries because they never reheat right anyway. Also a great way to use up produce that is going bad but not yet unsafe to eat.

Got an apology via 'Missed Connections' but we had met on CL dating so she knew I would probably see it.

Also saw one for my ex (different girl).

I lived downtown Seattle in the 90s, close enough we just walked to Sit and Spin with our laundry. Best way to do laundry ever.

Also they were reasonably priced since they made most of their money off the cafe (which had really good food).

I'll have some of those memories for life.

I miss Sit and Spin in downtown Seattle. Cafe in the front, bar and event venue in the back and laundry on the side.

Most of the emulators get the sounds wrong. I still have my original 2600 and a TV to run it on. Someday it'll make it back out of storage.

Get rid of stops for small shit like expired tabs or dim taillights so traffic cops can focus on unsafe driving. John Oliver did a pretty good piece on this recently.

No, "86 the chef special" means 'kitchen is out of chef special.

Yes, your task is to remove it from the menu.

But you aren't 86ing it.

You're marking it as 86'd because the quantity is below minimum threshold (usually zero).
