    So last night, A man was refused service at one of our other locations because he refused to wear a mask. He became very belligerent and irate, and even called our location (presumably at that point, he may have called them all) and yelled at our assistant manager so loudly that the person on the next cash register could hear him on the phone, even with the plexi partitions. He threatened that his organization will be at all our locations on Saturday.

    either he's part of the anti mask protest group that's been coming into stores and protesting, requiring police intervention at times, even harassing night shift workers going in to work when stores are closed. Or, he's just claiming to be out of frustration. If the former, Saturday could get very......interesting. I'm not going to be there, but I don't want my Co workers to have to deal with that.

    Snowed for a while here too. Like clockwork, the day before my appointment to swap out my snow tires for summer tires :picard:. To be fair, that has only happened three years. Of course I bought snow tires for the first time ever November 2018 (3 years ago)

    And no, I don't usually swap them out this early, but we haven't had but a couple of dustings since March 1.

    I got free subscriptions when I bought the Explorer and the Focus. I did not sign up once the freebie expired as I really couldn't find any stations I liked. When I can't get radio stations, or they start blending (which is very often around here), I just use my mp3 player.

    It ended up snowing on/off all day yesterday...I made a Menards run late afternoon and drove through a white-out! It didn't amount to much here, but further North they said some places got 6"...weather dude said that was more than they got total in March! They also said historically we have a 1 in 3 chance of getting snow on April 1. I remember vividly April 1st 1995...my first day working at the local Ford dealer...we got a foot of snow, and we had to move EVERY CAR ON THE LOT to plow! :hair:

    It worked great, I told him a document he sent me did not come through to please boot up and send it to me again, he was starting to take the batteries out and kiddo couldn't hold her laughter anymore. He said he never would have found it otherwise.

    Forecast...early 40s with drizzle, freezing drizzle last night

    Actual weather....wake up to dry ground, bright sunny day and in the 60s.

    I'll take it.

    Thanks for the XM radio responses. I signed up for a 3 month trial and couldn’t activate my Kenworth, Fiesta or phone even after talking to them. They FINALLY got the Kenworth activated. I looked at the account and it says 3 month free then when I checked the bank I got hit with a $1200 charge:headbang::headbang::headbang: I once again talked to customer service ( hideous ) and got that refunded and now have one year free. :rofl: :lol:

    For me, the issue is getting a time for the pickup. Once you get one, you go to their spot, they are quick to come to your car and go over the order with you. I ordered from the Augusta store. They did a really good job picking out the fresh vegetables and fruit. I did agree to some substitutions. In every case they picked up good exchanges. They also did a good job with meats. As I said, the worst part is getting a pick up time. You can use delivery. They have a fee for that. It is better than having to go shop at Walmart. I HATE SHOPPING AT WALMART. For that matter, shopping is much over rated. I do a much better job shopping from my desk and using the computer. None of the stores around here have clothes that fit me so I am left to either drive a distance or use the Net. I prefer the net. If you are close to Target, they usually will have your order ready in a couple hours. Pickup time is up to you. Some items they won't do like Walmart does. Like refrigerated items.

    I need a new pair of jeans and shorts, I gained weight and my normal ones are uncomfortable, I have NO clue what size I am now, the inches in size charts have never fit me and still don't :confused: We have two places in town here that sell clothes that are not horse chick cowboy bling, one is too expensive and the other is:
    I'll be wearing one of my everyday cotton stretchy pants to the Easter egg hunt tomorrow, no way I'm wearing my old jeans that are too tight on my waist.

    Wow! that sunset/sunrise(?) photo could be a spot just here on the west coast and one that I would have seen often. For us it would be a sunset view. Thanks for sharing your beautiful day with us.
