^ and soon enough you'll also realise you've just cleared space on the desk for you to fill up with more stuff in its place.

Remember:

 

"Junk" expands to fill all available space, plus some more.

 

Don't make space for more! 🙃

neb: Having spent a good chunk of the afternoon setting this up, across multiple drawers: to find that the overall amount of stuff stacked on shelves hasn't noticeably decreased.

 

i had something like that but my stress  level started to rise when Mr Nobody in my house started messing with it.

Road signs that mean nothing. In Rotorua a big digital sign went up in a few places saying Malfroy Rd will be closed Mon Tues Wed of this week from 6am to 6pm. Now if anyone knows Rotorua that is a hell of a thing to do, there are 3 schools on it. Well i found out today they had closed a road but it was Ranolf St and i was caught out. so who knows what they will close tomorrow, mind you it makes driving where you want to go an adventure.

 

 

i guess i wasn't the only one

I can see why NASA wants to go to Mars, it's much, much easier than trying to get a couple of pedestrian crossings installed. 





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Because cash handling equipment is expensive and seldom gets used so why put it on all checkouts?

Plus, it does help the flow of customers going through, Especially at busy periods. But that's excluding any issues with items scanning or needing Checkout Supervisor assistance (i.e Liquor sales)

 

so if your only paying by card, then you don't need to wait for other customers who still like to use Cash or require cash out! using Shop and Go and Scan and Go also helps with this too

Also with self checkout, people that dont seem to know about the volume control to turn it down when they're using it.

I didn't. She's so annoying! :D

 

Edit1: Is it common knowledge?

 

Edit2: Looking it up, seems like a obvious function that I guess I've just never looked for.

Or because I have scanned zero alcohol beer, having to wait for a supervisor to permit the sale.

Personally, I'm OK with even 0% beer being a restricted item. Should we let kids buy it?

And in the case of New World, the "pay by card" button moving depending on whether that particular machine takes cash. Muscle memory? Can't have that!
