I usually buy a jug of LuAnn peanut oil in the winter so I can fry all
those potato pancakes.

I was tempted to use one but I well remember Angela knocking me over with
the one from Target. Their carts have a delayed reaction from when you try
to stop them And they don't turn well.

Yes, I did see those. But for some reason, I got talked into buying the

Yes. I got a very nice craft tote in the 1990's. Or perhaps it was late
1980's. I still have it. Has a little tray towards the top that is great
for holding things like pencils and pliers. The other stuff goes
underneath. It not only holds the beads and findings, but ribbon, chenille
bees, butterflies and other little animals, glue, etc. Only thing it won't
hold is the largest size of watercolor or sketching paper. But the 9 x 12
fits easily in there and it can hold several pads.

Uh, no. I happen to really love cheese. But cheese does not love me. I
can live without eggs. Don't really care for them but do wish I could have
something like a tuna sandwich with mayo. I do love tuna salad and even
love chicken salad with pecans. But those things are no longer as well as
almonds which I also love. And for as much as I am not a meat lover, I do
love roast beef. I just can't digest it well. And my all time favorite
food besides beans and popcorn would be a HUGE tossed salad with all sorts
of greens and other veggies with cubes of cheese, beans, olives and nuts.
That is totally out of the question now. Now the best I can do is a few
bites of salad a couple times a week.

Some things that I am intolerant to are no big deal to me. Like any fish
other than tuna or shellfish or even lamb since I either never eat those
things or dislike them to begin with.

Now see... Biscuits! That used to be a favorite food. Yes, I can make
them with no milk or butter. They're not quite the same. And then there's
the carb count. As a diabetic, I have to make the choice as to what to
spend my carbs on. An itty itty biscuit or two (because a big one would
have too many), or beans? Beans have fiber and protein whereas a biscuit
doesn't have a lot of nutrition going for it. Not even a while wheat one
which I have made. They're sure not as good as a good old white buttermilk
one.

I used to make biscuits all the time. Either plain drop ones, rolled ones
cut into sticks and dripping with butter with sesame or poppy seeds on top,
or sweet tea biscuits which were actually just plain ones but sprinkled with
sugar and a little orange or lemon juice. I always put a spoonful of
instant potato flakes in my biscuit dough. Makes them super light.

I'm sure I would like those beans too.

Gotta wonder why Julie's daughter was driving an electric shopping cart
in Target. Isn't this the girl who attends dance classes? That would
indicate some mobility so WTH was she doing driving an electric cart?
They aren't toys.

Yes, I'm sure the guy in the turban (possibly a Sikh) with the big broom
was after Julie. More likely he was just sweeping the floor. He
*works* there, fer cryin' out loud. Who gets paranoid if they see the
same employee again two aisles over? Sheesh.

Of course he works there. But I have been in other stores where they were
sweeping. They either moved around me or said "excuse me" or something like
that. None ever came at me with the broom. That is what this guy does.
Chases me out of the aisle at a rapid clip, pushing the broom into my feet
like I'm not even there and then as soon as I go to the next one over, he
repeats the action. It has happened to me twice. Two different occasions,
months apart. Same little guy with the turban.

Lots of women dream of being swept off their feet by a tall dark
stranger who wants to walk them down the aisle. You should go for it
Julie, surely an improvement on your husband.

This is a little bitty elderly man with a turban. Hardly my style.

You probably ****ed him off when you told him why you hated everything
the store sold. :-)

It's actually pretty funny. I can just picture this guy chasing her out
of the aisles with a broom. He really doesn't want her to spend money
at the store that gives him his weekly paycheck.

heheh The broom guy with a turban chasing her was one of her funniest

That's a heck of a story. I can see how that would be scary to see a guy
approaching with these huge brooms from the far end of the aisle. I've
seen these guys in Safeway when I do some late shopping. They seem none
too happy and will wait for the last second before they veer out of my
path. It's as if they're playing chicken with you.

Oh yeah, I'd be watching them real closely if they came at me wearing a
funny hat. My suggestion is that if it happens a third time, report his
ass to the manager. Unfortunately, he might think you're batty as hell.
They always do.

She may well have almost died due to a foot injury/infection. I'll not
*completely* discount that. But a turbin wearing store employee
deliberately stalking/chasing her with a broom veers into the realm of
science fiction.

It may be her perception that he's doing it on purpose, but I'm sure it's
coincidental. If you go to Walmart in the morning hours chances are you're
going to run into the people with the floor polishers etc., at least that's
the way it is here, but it doesn't mean that they're bugging you on purpose,
it just seems that way.

The only times I've seen anyone cleaning a floor at the Walmarts I've
been to is when there's been a spill/breakage, and then they cordon
off that entire area... otherwise the floors are cleaned and buffed
while the stores are closed to shoppers... it's the same at other
retailers. I've never seen anyone going up and down the aisles
pushing a broom. I don't see litter on the floors either, maybe where
Julie lives shoppers are slobs. Here the Walmarts have a large
vestibule at the entrances (where there's also a large alcove off to
the side for the carts), all set up during inclement weather with
absorbant mats so that by the time they traverse that distance and
walk through the next set of doors leading into the store proper their
shoes are clean/dry... here most every store does similar, winters
here are messy with all the sand and salt. Even at people's home guest
know not to enter through the front door, most everyone has an
attached garage or some sort of mudroom at a back door where they
leave their nasty shoes and put on slippers, most socks... people here
in farm country don't wear shoes indoors. And workmen put heavy
plastic overboots over their work boots when they enter a home

The reality is that there's no way anybody is going to verify what the
truth about this is. The second reality is that there's no way to find
out the truth about most anything that gets posted on Usenet. Mostly,
Usenet is all about free speech, it has never been about truth. I just
think it's a heck of a story/idea, and what's wrong with science fiction?

I've been in many stores where they were sweeping. In this case I am pretty
sure that this guy would do that to anyone who is in the aisle. He seems to
think it is his duty to sweep as quickly as possible and he is hell bent on
getting it done, regardless of anything or anyone who may be in his way.

This Walmart is in a very bad location. I know someone who lives nearby and
she said that there are a lot of drug deals going on in the parking lot. I
have not witnessed this myself. Generally when I do go in there though it
is either on my way to somewhere during the day where I would make as quick
of a stop as possible for one or perhaps two items. Or... Late at night.
They are open 24 hours so we are forced to go there after the other stores
are closed. So most of my forays there have been late at night. Not that I
go there often. I don't.

That's not the way it is where I am. Oh, and just because *you* haven't seen
it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

If that's science fiction, then what about the pet psychic and
cat-abducting racoon? We have all the elements to make a pretty wild
novel here.

Thankfully, Target is open till midnight now. I'd much rather shop there.

Actually, she said it was at Target. Doesn't matter. I seriously doubt
this guy with a push broom was intentionally shoving it at her feet from
aisle to aisle. Next thing you know we'll be told he showed up outside
her house, whistling eerily. LOL

Maybe he's in cahoots with the racoon? (!)

He probably doesn't shop late at night. Grocery stores tend to sweep just
prior to closing. The K Mart that I worked at would never sweep or run
those floor cleaners when customers were in unless there was some sort of
accident that required immediate cleaning. But a store that is open 24
hours would of course have to do it while customers are in.

No I didn't. It was for sure at Walmart. I have had no problems like that
at Target. I have had clueless cashiers there though. Many times. That is
so bad that when I check out, I try to look for people who have been there
for a while. Ones that I know will do things right. But sometimes I am
forced to choose an unknown person.

The grocery stores here do it all the time just prior to closing. I have
had a few young and perhaps clueless guys hit me in the feet with a broom
there but they never came at me rapidly. In those cases it was more of an
accident. Tried to go around me but due to the wide design of the broom,
they failed.

My friend's husband is a janitor at Fred Meyers. They do all of that sort
of work after the store is closed except for as I said in another reply,
there is an accident that requires immediate attention.

I see it all the time. At the Sobey's in our town there is a woman who
is always out there cleaning. I see her almost every time I am there.
She walks around with a broom and dust pan or pushing a bucket of mop
water. The bigger stores have a machine, and it is pretty much a full
time job doing the floors.
