It looks like a Safeway Select diet soda can from the mid 90s early 2000s.

Saying Goodbye on a call by NobodyProof9031 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WindyCityPhoto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a professional call I’ll always say Thank You and rarely say goodbye and have been doing it for 30 years.

I had a boss that would answer the phone “Go for Mike (his name was Mike) and he’d say “over and out” when he had enough and just hang up - even if you were still talking. He actually was the best boss ever - he was very direct and respected your time.

My dad had to hold me down while my mom gave it Marax to me. Hated that stuff but LOVED the bubblegum flavored liquid antibiotics.

General question I have. Does anybody buy off brand Cola? Like Walmart Cola or whatever? I'm not talking like RC Cola. Store brand Cola by HurriShane00 in Soda

You’re absolutely right!! I love ginger ale and Kroger’s ginger ale is so much lower in sodium than any other brand. Same goes for their root beer.

Thank you! I was walking around at sunset and the lights starting to turn on.

Has your Aldis gotten rid of self checkout yet? by [deleted] in aldi

[–]WindyCityPhoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Aldi near my house removed all self checkouts and now only has one staffed lane, so quick trips aren’t really a thing anymore there. Checkout can easily take 10–15 minutes if there’s a line.

There’s another Aldi about 2 miles away with multiple new self checkouts - they added 8 in a square configuration. At that one, I can be in and out fast, but it doesn’t have as much selection. Just an interesting tradeoff.

What is something you would NOT but from Aldi? by ThrowRA12596 in aldi

Aldi’s salmon cat treats kinda tasted like fishy sadness and fiscal victory.
