Our blue competitor, located barely 1/2 mile away, chose to eliminate restrictions on the number of customers allowed in the store. As a result, they ended up with a zoo of confusion. I know this because we had customers complaining of how their aisles were so crowded you could barely walk. Limiting your shoppers turns out to be a blessing for crowd control. Believe me, 100 people in our store is still a lot, but you're not packed in like sardines.
Speaking of sardines, I've been spending some time learning about smoked salmon, not Nova, mind you, that comes from Newfoundland. I'm talking about the smoked salmon which comes from Scotland. There's hot smoked, and cold smoked, wild caught or farmed from a loch, and all very interesting and rather mysterious in a way.
And, just in case you thought you missed the Idiot Jerk's daily coronavirus briefing yesterday, don't worry, you didn't. There was none. I understand there is the distinct possibility that again, today, a briefing may not be in the offing. Can anyone truly imagine the nightmare that is roiling through the administration after the disinfectant shit show? As I've said before, there are presidential moments which guarantee our Commander in Chief will be re-elected. By the same token, there are similar moments which telegraph a failed bid for re-election. These are moments of infamy which will live forever in the annals of time. George H. Bush had his moment at a banquet table while attending a State Dinner in Japan. Remember how he leaned forward and puked up something repulsive onto his dinner plate before almost passing out? Everybody in the world watched him puking over and over again. That moment sealed his fate. The Idiot Jerk had his Moment of Infamy when he asked if doctors were working on a way to inject poisonous disinfectant into the blood stream to kill the coronavirus. Standing there, ready for his close-up (Mr. DeMille), he proved without a doubt how unfit he was to be president. Everybody in the world watched him, over and over and over again. And then they looked at each other and said "what a fucking asshole."
When we heard that our local mall was reopening yesterday, we thought it would be packed with covidiots. Instead, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that 2/3 of the stores in the mall independently decided to stay closed for the time being! And for the ones that did open, a local reporter went down there to take pictures and it looked like a ghost town. Finally, the people in our town are behaving with some common sense!
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't apply to HD or Lowe's, though. I keep hearing about how packed both places are every single day.
Yeah, we were packed today, but they only let 100 in the building at a time. The rate of infection in Cumberland county has not slowed down.
Delete_____ Tweeted last night that he won;t do any more briefings because, well, his campaign says they're hurting his chances at a 2nd, term, but he says, and I quote, "They're not worth my time."
ReplyDelete51000 dead Americans and numbers going up, and it's not worth his time.
We were at our Lowes yesterday and they were limiting people, but there was no line at all. People in our town seem to be listening.
Actually, the only ones who seem to be objecting are the MAGA heads, his base, and now, thanks to the power of the media, we're getting a chance to see how small those numbers really alre.
DeleteRTG went to weis market yesterday; got everything on his list and was back home in 45 minutes. still no paper products.
ReplyDeletethe dump: "I don't care about 52K dead americans; they were going to vote against me anyway."
He is a true representation of the selfish, self-centered Republican Party.
DeleteI would have thought every time that eejit opened his mouth would have been a seminal moment but I have to admit if the "clorox" soundbite doesn't do it nothing will.
ReplyDeleteHe and his ilk have moved into some serious damage control because there's no way he can take back that footage.
DeleteIMPOTUS is gonna be in his room.
ReplyDeleteAs any good narcissist, he cannot take ridicule well. And he fucked it up with the UV light and the Clorox. I think they're gonna keep him under wraps from now on. Cannot let the world see how stupid he is.
And is it then a free for all at the competitor's? They're gonna have a problem in their hands in no time..
XOXO
