    Guy is a coward if you can’t ask the driver to move sit there and cry but never touch another person’s truck…

    There was a young driver parked on the scale at the busy Flyin J in Pontoon Beach, IL. I approached and said to him, "Get off the scale." He replied, "my truck won't start." Me: "Yes it will. Get the f_ _ _ off the scale." He started it immediately and pulled off the scale. Resolution time: 30 to 40 seconds.

    p.s. -- I like sayin "Pontoon Beach." It's fun, somehow.

    Our Walmart, and Safeway for that matter, stopped using plastic bags couple years ago. They do offer, for .10 cents, a replacement paper bag, that is guaranteed to tear and I don't think they even burn. Besides, those grocery plastic bags always had holes in them,,,eww, garbage water,,:mad:

    Fortunately most of the ones my grocery store uses I can reuse for my cat’s litter box.
