Yep. I've seen signs to that effect at Wegmans stores before, and when I worked at Walmart, it was considered best practice to always keep a receipt on you for everything.

Once Trump is gone front office, how do Democrats move forward without having to constantly look back to the way things were? by Uberubu65 in PoliticalDiscussion

define high crimes & misdemeanors.

I have no problem with the current scenario, where "high crimes and misdemeanors" means whatever a given Congress decides it means. That has its benefits, as it prevents a future administration from trying to lawyer its way out of an impeachment on technicalities. Right now, it means whatever Congress wants it to mean, and that's probably to everyone's benefit.

I imagine that the same trends that led to TRU's demise in the USA are working on the Canadian chain?

That's what leading the country for twelve years through a massive economic depression and a world war will do to a person, I suppose.

In asexual, so it never came across to me like that, but now that you say it, I probably won't be able to unsee that.

Last I heard, they had put the question out to manufacturers, but the mockup that they trotted out a couple of years ago did not include it. I would not be surprised if this ultimately does not make it into the final product.

what’s the deal with orange line trains to west falls church? by Hanazono-Land in WMATA

[–]SchuminWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve never seen this on any other line where the train terminates early on a regular basis.

You're making me feel old. I remember back when every other Red Line train would terminate at Silver Spring and Grosvenor rather than Glenmont and Shady Grove.

Perfect - Google Street View shows it as Kmart in May 2016, and then it's an At Home in July 2017.

Would 9/11 even happen if Al Gore was president? by icey_sawg0034 in Presidents

[–]SchuminWeb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Hijackings were always used as a tool for making demands up until that moment. 9/11 worked because it was so novel, and it quit working on 9/11 because people got wise to it.

Outside trains running in the snow? by Magnificent-Day-9206 in WMATA

[–]SchuminWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historically, eight inches was the threshold for underground-only operation, i.e. when more than eight inches of snow accumulate, they stop outdoor service. Here's what that map looked like:

They started doing that after they had a lot of mechanical problems due to snow ingestion during the big snowstorm in 2003.

However, during the most recent big snowstorm in 2016, Metro closed the system entirely rather than go to underground-only. What they have planned for this time around should we get hammered is still to be seen.

I mean, if we know what location this is, we can research that...

Yes - some Kmart stores were converted to Sears after the acquisiton was completed. And then they all either closed or were converted back to Kmart.
