I agree, "be nice & say thank you" is the way to go. Only thing...people look at you when you talk to yourself.

I have a love/hate relationship with 'self checkout'. I love that it is quicker, I can pack my bags better than the cashier/baggers, & less germ transfer! But depending on the store, some have systems that are too sensitive & being scolded by an anonymous voice is beyond annoying!

Today is:

I prefer the NO NUTS option & I like to add a little ground coriander.

Quite a few interesting comments under many of these discussions about “self-checkout”. One of my favorites:

“I was asked in a checkout if I needed help, said yeah... I'm gonna need to take a break after working here...Can you point me in the direction of the break room?”

After...

--Opening boxes in the aisles to dig out merchandise because there is none on the shelf--

--Checking out your purchases--

--Packing your own bags—

Yeah! Think this person is spot-on when it comes the "working here" part!

Not to mentioned the innocent victims who have been...flagged...humiliated...embarrassed...arrested...financially burdened...etc. for making a mistake/having a machine that malfunctions during their transaction. (Yes, I know the crooks are busy...a discussion for another time?...but I'm not talking about them.)

To paraphrase...

...and if you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be the horrible example others learn from.

April 15th would be a more meaningful day on which to celebrate this occasion.

Today is…

...International Women's Day 2024 - Friday, March 8th

2024 Theme: “Inspire Inclusion”

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. (IWD)

Had trouble finding “the right” quote for the occasion. Wanted something that fit into a category other than the usual ‘Strong” “Powerful” “Inspirational” quotes for/by women. They mostly sound preachy-preachy and as if someone is “talking down” to someone. Finally found a list from “USA Today” titled: “famous quotes from famous women that stand the test of time”:

"We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced." — Malala Yousafzai

"I raise up my voice - not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard."

Malala Yousafzai

"No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women."

Michelle Obama

I have these two on my refrigerator!

Today is…

St. Patrick’s Day

Old Irish Blessing- "May you have all the happiness and luck that life can hold—and at the end of your rainbows may you find a pot of gold."

Have a Happy!

Today (Tonight?) is…

The beginning of Spring!

Always loved March growing up. We'd go into it wearing a and come out of it wearing a .

Some songs for Spring: from Tom Lehr

-- the alliteration. As for the rest .

from Mel Brooks

--One of my favorites. (Maybe a bigger fan...but it's close...of the original.)

I've never seen either version but I love John Barrowman! Captain Jack Harkness!
