i walked around the local walmart's health and beauty section for a good ten minutes looking for cotton swabs. sheesh. :down:

At my store the soap's right across from the shampoo... well, one isle down, other side of same structure.

Cotton swabs are all the way across the store in the baby section.

You haven't suffered till your boss has told you to put everything left by customers back where they belong on the shelves!

A whole fucking hour I was searching (after working there over 2 years) a WHOLE FUCKING HOUR and I couldn't even find the fucking shelves!!!


Seriously, chocolates go on the chocolate isle, unless they're in bags then they go at the end of the coffee isle, but tinned chocolates go next to the pet food, which is behind the cleaners, upstairs with air fresheners, but not plug-ins because they go downstairs with medicines and shampoos, but not soap because that doesn't exist and magically replenishes itself in one's cupboard!

GAAAHHHH!!

For someone who's worked for three years, there's not much I know how to find on the shelves in the store where I work. I can find the things that I myself buy, the things that have to be refrigerated (since I have more occasions to put them back on the shelves, and therefore more experience), and the things that are just easy to figure out if you know the system. But most of the time, when asked offhand where something is, I just have to hazard a guess. It's never been that big an issue.

The god Loki spoke to me in a vision, and told me I must take a bottle of Lime Away (bathroom tub & tile cleanser) and place it on a shelf next to Summer's Eve (feminine hygene product) at least every seventh trip to the store. The shape of the new bottles is perfect, with an angled spout for comfort.

Surprisingly enough there is a really simple and almost valid answer to this one. When cooking the hot dogs it is quite usual for either one or two to fall apart or for them to be dropped when transferring to the bun therefore they rather thoughtfully give you a couple of spares.

No big deal for me as I always put two hot dogs in my bun anyhow.

What I always get pissed about is that they never put the bloody onions and mustard in the same damn aisle as the hot dogs! (anyone know a reason why they can't put ready sliced onions in the tin with the hot dogs?)

Be a crafty consumer. Buy 4 packs of hot dog bns, 3 packs of hot dogs, soak the buns in vinegar and the hot dogs in mayo, and throw the whole lot at the corporate headquarters of your chosen hot dog or hot dog bun manufacturer.

Except Hebrew National, cause them's some fine dogs.

Hot dogs in tins was really the reason we declared independence from you evil Brits. Tins! What Vienna-sausage-like sacrelige!

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

It's a conspiracy. 'nuff said.

The ones I buy say "Produce of the USA" on the side, just about the only thing
in the store apart from the Florida orange juice (which worryingly enough says "Bottled in UK" on the side, do they ship it over in tankers like they do with oil or what ) that is from the US.

If they ain't in a tin we call them sausages. (actually there is a brand that are in some sort of plastic vacuum pack that come from Germany but they taste awful)
