Walmart fubar

I'm always looking for the best food and household bargains within my shopping parameters. As a result, I'm always shopping around looking for deals.  I thought I'd hit on a good thing with Wal Mart grocery delivery.  A cart to cart comparison with Giant pickup revealed a 15% savings with Wallyworld, even with a driver tip.

So, we've gotten a few deliveries from WalMart as part of the routine grocery shopping, and all went well.  Till today, when it didn't go well.  In fact, Wal Mart screwed the pooch by the numbers today.

The order was listed as on time, then it was delayed, then it was delivered and delayed at the same time, and then they just ceased communications altogether.  At no time were those communications two-way, as the company flat out refuses to allow anyone to speak with a human. 

My last effort was directly to the specific store location, whose electronic go-away system told me to get back to them if something didn't show up in the coming week.

What a weird way to tell a customer you don't want their money anymore.  Weird, but hey, thanks for letting me know.

I'll stop at the bank Monday and dispute the charge on the account.  Maybe that will flush out a hoomon, but I doubt it.

TWAD:   There I wuz....

Working in Greg/Charlie's truck shop, but everyone else was on vacation or just gone.

I dicked around, was lazy a bunch, but then got interested in cleaning and organizing the place.  Started on benches and tools.   Then another tech shows up, needing a 9" axle nut socket.  Laid my hands on it pretty fast, then lunchtime, and then... here's where it all goes TWAD.... I was breeding and training intelligent octopus in tanks in the shop.  Teaching them to make new tools.

FU, but interesting.

All fam down with the sickness.  Yesterday I said "Who's got time for that?"  Today I guess that would be me, but the chore list still stands.  It's not a bug, it's a 'weight loss opportunity'.  Hello suck, my old friend.

Looking at FB 'memories', I've been pukey on this day four of the last six years.  WTF?

********************************

TWAD:    So there I wuz, living in a weird old two story shack with my dad and my childhood friend, but all growed up and totally different.  Blah Blah yadda yadda hillbilly weirdness, then dad announces we need a store run.  Cool.  Strap on and grab a jacket, and follow them on a five mile walk of odd old hallways and basements, to arrive at... you guessed it.... a hole in the wall too small for anyone to get through, except they do.  I told them I hate them and turned back.

That 'too small hole in the wall' features in a lot of TWADs, and it's always at the point I'm awake for good.  Wonder if that's in a book someplace?

The meme mines grow richer by the day...

Wanna see a big bang?

Imagine, if you will, a person who determines how much individual taxpayers would each get if fraud in DC was cut off.  This information is grown into a national campaign showing taxpayers and working people what could change for them if DC fraud was shut down.

Then they showed them all those folks in DC who are linked to Fraud.

They those folks go vote in the next election.

Running chickens and ducks together is a no brainer.  One is as much a pain as the other, but they all get along for a given value of get along.  The real prize though is the egg thing.  Right about when chickens stop laying for the Winter months, the ducks say "Out of the way you peckers, we'll show you how this is done".

Short of a tragic chainsaw accident, I will not be making goal weight this year.  Pound a month is healthy for my condition, I guess.  Reaching here.

Todays TWAD (Totally Weird Ass Dream):

Somehow I had TWO cars parked on the street at some shithole apartment, and was loading dirty laundry I had to wash, all while Jessi (Ex) was harassing me to take her back, or at least do her laundry too. Then I found two kids stealing both my cars, and I shamed them into loading all the laundry and teaching me how to steal cars.

********************************************

A very real point. If the folks who cheer for wealth redistribution and universal social support really cared about people, they would be incensed at the fraud and theft of the funds aimed at those goals. By doing their best to hide the corruption and fraud, they are proving it was always about the theft, and never about helping people.

*************************************************************

YES!

A federal *un-taxed* bounty for any citizen who uncover evidence of fraud involving taxpayer money, and makes it public.   The bounty to be a percentage of the total fraud uncovered, and financed by confiscating the assets of the criminals involved... no matter who they are, what company they represent, or what their party affiliation is.

The bounty will be paid promptly, publicly, and in cash. 

In the event no authority will prosecute, the confiscation and bounty automatically become a ballot measure in the next election.

The new media.... the REAL media.

Fraud in Minnesota is off the hook.  I mean just.. so far over the top it's best compared to a 3rd world hell hole run by a military junta.  You know, like Somalia, only with more wealth and almost unlimited taxpaying suckers to feed the corruption.

We know this because regular people are investigating and covering the story, and that is a story almost as huge as the fraud itself.

The traditional 'media' in Minnesota has simply refused to cover the corruption and fraud, and that is raising some hard questions.  It's not like it was hidden.  It was so in-your-face that only a Republican could have missed it.  

An example of this, in the last week or so some dude with a cell phone camera and a few witness's spent a day walking around revealing $110,000,000 in blatant undeniable fraud, all coming from taxpayers pockets.

This dude, a college student I believe, has passed 1,000,000 114,000,000 1.14 million views on X and 1.4 million views on You Tube of his 42 minute video on X.  To put that into perspective, more people have seen his report than all the readers of every newspaper across all of America in one day.... combined.

It's not that people don't want to see this story exposed.  It's clear the traditional media has some other purpose here than, you know, reporting the news.  That story itself is just as gigantic as the corruption being uncovered.

The reality is glaring:

• It's just isn't possible not a single politician in the tribal controlled state of Minnesota noticed fraud at this level.  It rivals the GDP of small nations. They might be corrupt, but nobody is that stupid.
• Ditto for *All* the major media. They *chose* to not report on this.
• This is an opportunity for non-tribal politicians, and there is almost no chance at all they will rise to the occasion.

What GOOD customer service looks like.

I bought this remote bake/roast/grill thermometer on July 10th of this year. Almost exactly five months later, the remote probe would hold it's charge less than an hour before dying.  When new, it would last days, over multiple uses for hours on end.

The base charges by USB, and in turn charges the probe when docked.  So simple it's seamless and totally forgettable.  In fact, the unit is so easy to use the instruction are not needed (For me, anyway).

Quitting at five months irked me, so I went back to me Amazon review and changed it to one star, with an explanation why.  I did not contact the seller, what with it being five months old and well used.

No, the seller contacted ME, and offered a refund.  I suggested a replacement working unit instead, which arrived today.  I honestly wasn't banking on it, and forgot it might be arriving.

I see the probe is built differently, of different materials, than the last one.  Perhaps that redesign extends to the internals as well.  It will get a workout in a few days when the New Years rib roast spends about 3 hours at 300 degrees.

Imagine if every company treated customer service like this.

Resolutions....

I understand there is a tradition of making 'New Year's Resolutions'.  I resolve to....

Be kind to everyone except people who chose to be ignorant or stupid.

Be cheerfully grumpy and curmudgeonly in an endearing style.

Look for ways and times to encourage and support other people, daily.

Drink a better grade of booze when possible.

Eat today like I want to be alive tomorrow.

Show my wife every day how I feel about her.

Actively choose not to try and live other peoples lives for them.

Learn something new every...single...day.

"Wait a minute Fat Man.  You ALREADY do all that stuff.  You are resolving to change nothing?"

Exactly.

Much really bad words regarding the weight situation. I saw baked honey ham, and all brain function ceased.   Say the bad words along with me.

I just turned down crepes for breakfast.

***************************************

Using my custom digital calendar (that goes from 0 to 10), I see it is 6 days till New Year Day. Today I defrost the rib roast, and tomorrow it goes to dry brine in the fridge.
