Ugh...

Think she might be missing something. Cats look cool, often cute, and who is going to tell her cats don't have lips?

All fun and games now until she wants a real job 5 years from now.

What's a hen party?

I would guess it's a collection of women folk celebrating someone's impending nuptials...

Cheers!

What's a hen party?

Those are the ones where the roosters are not the ones in charge. I've seen it happen, both literally and figuratively.

Sometimes amusing, sometimes a bit scary, often both. [;

 

[Kent88]

Oh, a doe party?

This is actually some really tiny people holding a regular size green bean.

This is actually some really tiny people holding a regular size green bean.

Think that'd be a hit at a hen-party?

Love the commentor saying the current world record is 8 feet 33 inches....so really 10 ft 9 inches??

Maybe this headline belongs in debate if it starts a holy war for/against self checkouts. Mostly I am agnostic, but I also seem to have inordinate bad luck knowing whether to look up "scallions" or "green onions" when there's No Freaking PLU STICKER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Move along.
Nothing to see here.
I have to go buy some scallions for tonight's dinner.

Or green onions.

 

[day_trippr]

I'm actually a fan of self checkout and rarely run into issues with the POS equipment these days. Of course, a big reason I'm a fan is the stores have cut their cashiers down in turn so it's either zip through self-checkout or stand in line for the one human teller...

Cheers!

Err - spring onions....

Whilst people are trying to make out that this has more fundamental significance, if you see this thread from an insider, it seems to be more about putting a PR gloss on the removal of tills that are obsolete and never properly worked in the first place :


Booths is a weird supermarket anyway, it's probably our closest equivalent to Whole Foods but aspires to be more like a chain of department store food halls.

Self checkout is fine for express checkout or when you're buying birth control 'raincoats' . Back before we had kids and my wife and I lived about two miles from a grocery store and visited it every other day and didn't buy much each visit, we used self checkout a bunch. Now that we live further away from the grocery store, and we're feeding more people, we try to plan ahead more and stock up so self checkout would be a huge hassle. That's just my take on it.

 

[Broothru]

Haven’t worried about ‘raincoats’ (I thought we were the ones who thought up that euphemism) for a lonnggg time. There are, however, other ‘items’ that are better kept discrete when trying not be “em bare assed” by a check out clerk.

That said, I do get a kick out of seeing wry smiles on the checker’s face, knowing that old boomers still have what it takes .

Of course I’m talking about Depends. Or not.

It really depends.

Hhmmm…

It really depends.

Hhmm… I’m going with “Or Not!”

Hey, no need to leak that kind of information.

I always thought Booths was a Pharmacy, after I figured out that a Chemist was a Pharmacist.
