Back Again!

I know that many of you were attempting to blog everyday in the month. Well, I had my own challenge......try not to blog for over two months!! I have to say it was difficult but I was committed to excellence. As for those of you who did not post every day in November, you could only wish to have the stamina and fortitude to finish things they way that I have. Anywho.....

Quick Rant:

Went to Wal-Mart this afternoon after work. Got what I needed and with my 2 items decided the self check-out was the way to go. Here is how this should have gone:
Get in line wait 5 minutes at most for the couple people in front of me to finish and quickly scan my two items, pay and leave.

Here is what actually happened:
All lines had a butt load of people. Got behind a couple that had a full cart but looked as though they had things going well. I was WRONG. They took 15 minutes to finish, then couldn't get find a credit card that worked (6th time is the charm). Finally it was my turn. My card is now being declined, after a few attempts the front end person comes over and says "Are you using a debit card? The self checks aren't taking any debit cards."

Derek's Guide to Self Check:
Fewer than 10 items only.
No fresh vegetables/fruits
You must be younger than 50 and older than 20
No Children scanning items
No Checks
If you think that it looks difficult it is, don't try it
Do you have trouble setting the clock on any device, don't try it
Have you ever had to ask someone how to use an All-in-One remote, let a professional do it for you.
Does it look like fun to scan your own items? It's not

In short don't use the self check lanes. That way I can always get out quickly!

Thanks
