Mine is 18 and needs money for when he leaves for college this fall. Otherwise I'd probably have talked him it out of it. Just wish it wasn't a major chain retailer like Lowe's. [Reply]

Major grocery chain here had one store with a covid case of an employee who worked in produce. They got rid of everything in the produce section and sent him home. Just glad it wasn't the store I go to normally. However, sometimes on my way home from elsewhere I do stop at it. Don't think I will be going there again soon. [Reply]

They opened on time and everyone waiting got in right away. Didn't notice anything out of stock. I was able to get about a weeks worth of grocery and other normal household stuff.
I'd say about 1/2 the people were wearing masks and everyone was doing the SD as best you can.
Now, time to hit the ibuprofen again. [Reply]

Mines working at HyVee it's not any better. [Reply]
Got to replace the three-day-old refrigerator with a new one this morning, that was fun. But my hat is off to Home Depot, they worked come magic for us.
I guess I'm a pro at refrigerator installation now. :-) [Reply]

I got my temperature checked at work 4 times today. I'm like "STOP IT". I'm old enough to know if I have a damned fever and you've seen me remove myself because of it twice before this insanity. [Reply]

I was doing great until last night when I went to my stash and was reminded I only have one half pint of AA left, and our deal is no leaving the house unless a must, now I have a problem, [Reply]

Just don't look too closely at what they mean by that.
(Like cars, they do most of their final assembly in the U.S., but many of their parts aren't made here. They're intentionally vague about that part.) [Reply]
