Fwd: [QUAD-L] QUAD-L] Camera?

[Larry Willis]

Some things irritate the heck out of me for their simple inanity.For example, 
last night I had a craving for WalMarts deli for supper. Chicken, okra, corn, 
potato salad, rollsall that good stuff! When I got there, I saw the whole 
area was dark and the deli trays empty. One lonely lady was slicing cheese and 
Bologna. She said the manager had made a mistake in scheduling! Yes, I was 
highly irritated, but I strolled by the counter that held packaged meat and 
cheese. The place looked like a bargain day table on Black Friday. And the 
produce section looked even worse.
I went to check out. There were five counters open. People were at least six 
deep on each one. The customer service section was overwhelmed.
I know this is a silly waste of words. But the incompetence was disgusting. 
Think I will shop Krogér next time. Good night, Pards.
