At work I saw a 32 ounce Gatorade I had not seen before. When I checked my handheld scanner to locate it, I checked the location and realized Gatorade radically changed their bottle design. They also shrunk the bottle to 28 ounces, the same as Powerade. They also increased the price from $1.18 to $1.98.Continue reading “Shrinkflation Plus Price Increase.”

Christmas is Over
I got Christmas Eve off, but have to go in tonight. Only two more hours of crappy Christmas music and things should start getting back to normal tonight.
WuFlu is Back
Southeast Kansas has another uptick in WuFlu cases. Our department manager* has been told to crack down on mask wearing at Wally World. The store manager has told her too many of us are not wearing our masks and she will watch the surveillance tapes to be sure we are complying. We have a bunchContinue reading “WuFlu is Back”
To buy or not to buy
I wanted to hold off buying some big ticket items at Wallyworld until mid December, when I get a one time 25% discount. With the supply chain situation being what it is, I may want to buy them now. In the case of my tablet, the decision has been made by the tablet. It clearlyContinue reading “To buy or not to buy”
Summer Encore
The storm system that came through Friday brought a brief warming trend with highs in the low 80s. Fall will return tomorrow morning with the temperature around 45. Time to put the jacket back on. Neewollah started with the stage version of Wizard of Oz. Tomorrow, the Queen Neelah talent competion takes place, with theContinue reading “Summer Encore”
Winter is Coming
Around here, we have had no serious shortages and prices have not gotten ridiculous. The first cracks are starting to show in what could be a worse time than the 70s. Last week, I filled up my tank for 3 dollars a gallon like I have since the WuFlu began. The day after, it shotContinue reading “Winter is Coming”
Holiday Excess
It was bad enough when Halloween stuff was on the Walmart floor right after Labor Day, but now Christmas stuff is on the floor before Halloween. Normally they wait until after Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, Indy celebrates Neewollah starting this Friday. I normally don’t go, but this year I will, since it may be aContinue reading “Holiday Excess”
New Junk, Part Two
We got started setting up our new handhelds from Wallyworld. Unfortunately we got locked out of our work apps. Since this is my weekend, I will have to wait until Thursday night. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Indy library to do some research on local journalism, or the lack thereof. We have localContinue reading “New Junk, Part Two”
New Junk
The long awaited Walmart take home scanners have arrived. We are allowed to use them at home for personal use. Unfortunately we can’t actually use them because of a long drawn out authorization process. And if I don’t manage to get through it tonight, I have to wait until next week. Fortunately, we got mostContinue reading “New Junk”
Power outage
Got into work last night and found out power to our refrigeration units went down. Instead of stocking shelves, we spent most of the night emptying the refrigerator and putting away what we could in the lockers in the backroom. After lunch we put the stuff back in the fridges. Between the little stocking weContinue reading “Power outage”
