If you don't have a name that's hard to pronounce, then you'll not know what i'm talking about here. I just love it when you walk into a supermarket now and use your ATM card. It seems that its standard operating proceedure that the "checker" now will pass you your reciept and say "Thanks for shopping at (insert supermarket chain name here) [Mr, Mrs, or Miss] (insert your name here)". Well with my name its always funny to just listen. I just wonder if there is a threshold where they see a name and they don't even make the attempt. That has just got to be a loaded gun waiting to go off. You get some pissed of housewife whos PMSing (and i know i'm gonna get comments about that, but isn't it true?) and the checker, after being dragged over the coals, says, "Would you like any help out with that?"... and then it comes. The quick glance down to the little receipt... "thanks for shopping..." I can just imagine that pushing some housewife over the edge. Fuck i used to bag groceries. The really stupid shit is always what pushes people over the edge. You bag their canned cream soda with a box of dish washer soap and they FREAK OUT. (Even that's what you were taught in the little 5 minute training video... Canned or Bottled goods are a good combination for packing with Soaps and Cleaners, while you don't want to put fresh meats with soap.) Ok, well i've gotten off track here. I think the most fun i have is when Jen is at the store with me. The guy butchers "Riegler" and i'm half way out the door while Jen will take the time to correct him. :)

You must be tweaking the font size on your site, as I don't remember it being THIS HUGE. ^_^
