Me: "I know, sir. The prices are going up, unfortunately."
Customer: "But why?!"
Me: "Just general inflation, I suppose."
Customer: "It's because of all those immigrants!"
susandenniswychwoodbrithistorianToday I finally had sufficient time around lunchtime to try Cincinnati chili. I fixed it according to the article on "How to Eat Cincinnati Chili Like a Local" and then sat down to eat it. I didn't like the first bite. So I ate some more, hoping it would get better with further exposure. By the time I had eaten half of the serving, I gave up and decided I just didn't like it. So I disposed of it, brushed my teeth, then brushed my teeth again because I could still taste it in my mouth. I wish I liked it, because the concept sounded interesting, but I don't.
I think I might try eating "regular" chili on spaghetti, because it wasn't the "on spaghetti" part that I disliked, but in the meantime I'm over here eating peppermints one after another to try to clear the taste in my mouth. (I'm really not trying to be overly dramatic here. It's just very rare that I try something and don't like it, so I'm having trouble coping with it.)
notalwaysright_feedRead That Dress Code Is Cutting It Close
Most of my instructors were understanding and said that as long as my hair was up and my mask could seal to my face, they would consider me to be in dress code. But there was one instructor who said there was no excuse. “We’re a paramilitary type of school, so dress code is extremely important.”

Passenger: "Why did we turn off the regular route? Is this a permanent change, or just temporary?"
Me: "Well, like I just announced a minute ago, there was a fire on Main Street, and we had to detour past the closed section of the street."

notalwaysright_feedRead Fractionally More Stupid, Part 6
Customer: "The sign. It says 112 off. Are you discounting it by $112?"
Me: "Oh! That’s half off. That’s not 112, it’s ½. It’s a fraction."
Customer: "A… fraction?"

notalwaysright_feedRead Lack Of Management Is Manageable
Due to a unique set of circumstances (sickness, family issues, scheduling errors), all four managers that you'd call senior are unable to come into the store today. We have two supervisors who run the show instead, one taking an opening shift and one taking the closing.

“Oh, my lost youth. Here are the ducks coming up for the remains of our sandwiches. Twenty-three years ago I fed these identical ducks with these identical sandwiches.’
‘Ten years ago, I too fed them to bursting-point.’
‘And ten and twenty years hence the same ducks and the same undergraduates will share the same ritual feast, and the ducks will bite the undergraduates’ fingers as they had just bitten mine. How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks . . . Be off, cullies, that’s the lot.’
