Circuit City Unplugged

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I just read that Circuit City is closing all their remaining stores. It’s sad actually. They JUST finished building a brand new store on the parking lot of our local mall.

What Are Your Thoughts on This Cashier’s Thoughts?

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Check out this comment that was left on the post “Rude Customers” from last year (I did not edit the comment): I agree with Sarah about her feelings for people after cashiering for over 5 years. At this point, I could care less about losing my job after dealing with so many rude customers. It [...]

The Economy Stinks and Yet (More) People are Playing the Lottery!

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Stacey sent me a link to Many States’ Lottery Sales are Rising in Recession. Check this out (emphasis mine): “Someday somebody is going to win and I hope it is me,” said Albert Atwood of Nashville, who spends $100 weekly playing the Pick 5 and Lotto Plus. “I imagine that I would be a heap [...]
