 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 I got so many people returning Sharkbite plumbing fittings when I worked at the depot. Some people just don't know what they are doing and should really have someone do it for them.This woman pissed me off at work..
 
 I helped her and her daughter replumb their bathroom toilets..
 
 They have 1/2 in CPVC coming out of the floor and want to put a shut off valve in and run a new supply line to the toilet.
 
 I give her three different options, the latter being the "new" shark-bite plumbing way.. compression fitting that slides over1/2 cpvc that's a shut off valve.. and has a 3/8 fitting coming off of it.. to hook a supply line to for the toilet...
 
 I've been selling this **** for two years and never had a complaint..
 
 she comes back and tells me it damaged her pipe.. doesn't want to do it either of the other two ways I showed her.. and wants to do some kind of bull **** rigging to get her water back to her toilet..
 
 I tell her I've shown her the three options she has, with what we have to work with, and that's all I know to do.. without replacing any pipe..
 
 she doesn't like my ideas, calls my last idea garbage, but still wants me to help her...
 
 I hate retail sometimes..
 
 I know that was some horrible grammar, but I had to type it in a hurry.. lolI've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 Yeah I felt bad for the baggers. At my store I was one of the few high school students who wasn't a bagger, and everyone in my department was 30 or over but I didn't have any issues with them. My store had a party for me when I left. It was a good job to have and I liked the management.Ohio State - Reds - Bengals - Blackhawks - BullsComment

 I remember giving my two weeks notice and the manager telling me that I was one of the only people that had ever given two weeks notice while he was working there.Yeah I felt bad for the baggers.

 That shocked me.
 
 Either way, I still shop at the Kroger that I was employed at. Granted, that was... 6 years ago at this point.Rose City 'Til I Die

 I would have told her to hire a plumber then. Plumbing and electrical is one of those things you should really leave to a professional before you cause more harm then good.Comment

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 I looked on their website and apparently Foods Co (the store I referenced earlier) is Kroger but just named differently.
 
 Kind like Hardees and Carls JR I guess.Originally posted by Anthony BourdainThe celebrity chef culture is a remarkable and admittedly annoying phenomenon. Of all the professions, after all, few people are less suited to be suddenly thrown into the public eye than chefs. We're used to doing what we do in private, behind closed doors.Comment

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 Oh ok, out of the list the only one I been to was Pay Less when I lived in Northwest Indiana. But growing up in Chicago, the only grocery stores we had was the following:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroger#Chains
 
 Kroger is the company behind a lot of chains, like Foods Co, Fred Meyer, etc.
 
 Jewel
 Dominic's
 Omni's
 Aldi's
 
 Now I am sure decadeds later they probably have more in Chicago now, but for me as a kid, Chicago was a very closed market.Comment
