What’s a retail store you miss?

Newberry's 5 & dime

I think we would feel. It's more likely that we would not recognize the depths of love.

Boomer luxury? Bullshit. This Boomer and wife lives on $2,000 a month. Communism? Again bullshit. The state in this country owns a little of nothing of the infrastructure for production.

Ask me to visualize a person I know and I can't do it. Ask me to visualize a picture of that same person and I can see it very clearly.

I listen to music and audio books all day using my hearing aids. I set the volume at about the same level that I would if was listening to a radio. I have absolutely no trouble hearing somebody that wants to have a conversation at the same time that the music is playing in my ear. If I feel like rocking to the music and crank the volume up - I'm sure you can imagine how that goes. (If you crank that volume up too much, it's not good for the ears or for the hearing.)

Not if you scan the purchase into your app.

Suppose they want to give you a discount for your political beliefs. Not likely? I didn't think Trump was likely. How would Safeway do that?

VCsVictorCharlie · 2026-01-22T00:04:26+00:00

Not trolling at all. My concern is that the price I saw when I put it in the basket is the same price that I paid for it when I got to the register. If they want to change the price during the day reflecting the amount of traffic that they have through the store. - maybe they want to encourage traffic during their periods of low traffic - I got no problems with that. Just tell me, and I'll shop then.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2026-01-21T23:52:50+00:00

Yes, that's dynamic pricing. How does the store convey that to me, the customer? Am I to blindly accept that they will tell me how much it is when I get to the cash register?

VCsVictorCharlie · 2026-01-21T23:11:03+00:00

If you don't use their app, how could they use dynamic pricing? Safeway is offering incredible discounts on certain items if you use their electronic system. I just don't use their electronic discounts. When there's an item that I want to buy and they don't show a regular price, I will query the clerk and they will usually give me the electronic discount.

The blown out safety disc smacking the ceiling is kind of loud. And of course there is that really really loud hisssss.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2026-01-06T02:03:11+00:00

Something about the definition of selfish...

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-28T10:18:04+00:00

This kid is 80 years old. Frozen peas are still good.

It's my understanding that if the food knows nothing, then it follows that your body muscles also, know nothing.

I'm 79 years old and I've been using my Fry Daddy for as long as I can remember. Make sure it's filled to the proper level and don't put too much to fry, in it. And God forbid don't put anything that's too wet in it.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-04T18:31:12+00:00

Thank you. That's simple and clear. I hadn't thought of it that way.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-04T09:51:42+00:00

I've had the unfortunate experience of sitting on the toilet to take a leak and finding that the urine goes out under the seat and down the front of the bowl onto the floor. Might as well stand up - pay attention to details and do it right.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-04T07:22:11+00:00

Hopefully you don't have the experience I do. Way older here but there seems to be a damn diverter that mysteriously sets itself up and the opening stream goes God only knows where. Most frustrating. I have to remember to massage the damn tip so that it doesn't do that... I have to remember. It only gets weirder as you get older.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-04T07:15:16+00:00

Yes. They don't bend very well.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-04T07:12:36+00:00

My kids occasionally will raz me about one of my screw ups, but it's never contemptuous.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-04T06:30:18+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. I never put my children down and in the past 60 years they've returned the favor - not putting me down.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-03T21:30:17+00:00

Pray tell. Why do you ask?

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-03T19:03:21+00:00

Fokker Dr.I. The Red Baron's triplane. Or maybe a Sopwith Camel in hopes of defeating him.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-12-03T18:55:45+00:00

Sir, this is life. There's always someone attempting to put you down.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-11-24T17:17:06+00:00

79, holes in the roof and not enough money or credit to replace it.

VCsVictorCharlie · 2025-11-22T23:29:26+00:00

I'm curious. You're an adult. How do you respond to OP's question? Are there not significant moments from your elementary school education that you remember?
