Rejoice, rejoice, for this is my first ever moblog (mobile blog). I
just got the very awesome Cingular 8125 smartphone. It really is a
great cellphone and a great PDA. More on the phone at a later date.
I want to rant about Shaw's tonight. I enjoy the finer things in life
(at least when time allows). I don't ask much of this world (most of
the time). I only want three things from my grocery store.
1. The ability to redeem bottles and cans.
2. The ability to cash in my loose change.
3. The ability to buy fresh food.
Shaw's managed to pull an 0-fer tonight.
The bottle redemption machine wouldn't take the beer bottles from the
anniversary party we just had for my in-laws. At first I thought that
maybe it was a Crudweiser machine because it said that Sam Adams'
bottles weren't accepted. When it didn't take Crud Light bottles I
knew that Shaw's was starting to piss me off.
Then I dumped my jar of coins onto the sorting tray of the Coinstar
machine. I look up at the screen and notice it says the machine is not
ready for service and please see a manager. As I'm picking up my
change an employee walks by and says the machine is "closed". What.
The. Hell.
So I'm buying my groceries and I'm nearly finished when I pick up some
cottage cheese. I happen to see that said cottage cheese expired FOUR
DAYS AGO!
I used to like my local Shaw's, but now I'm not so certain.

No grocery stores accept beer bottles you idiot! They will also not accept store brand soda bottles from another store, or any other product they do not sell.
The coinstar machine being closed saved you a big redemption fee. Try your bank or better yet, credit union.
I don't know why you even buy cottage cheese, I don't even like it.
But, how goes the job?
Coinstar doesn't charge a redemption fee if you claim a gift card instead of cash. I wanted an Amazon.com gift card to buy a memory card for said new phone.
I hate cottage cheese, too. It was for my wife.
I love the job so far. I haven't been this happy to get up and go to work in a long time. It's really refreshing and exciting.
