Randon question:

If you had 40 items and the express lane was for 20 or fewer items, would going through the express lane in two trips be faster than going through normal checkout once in most cases? Hmmm...

No, because there would be people with 100 items in your way. Using coupons, WIC, SNAP, etc.

Use the self checkout you lazy shit.

That shit never works.

Places with many minorities often don't have self-checkout.

 

[Krow]

Literally use it every time I'm in a walmart or kroger.

Guess that's why there is one in most stores here, not really many minorities.

No joke: We have two Walmart Supercenters in town. The one with majority white customers has self checkout, the one with majority black customers does not, and they are only around 6 miles apart.

Reminds me of when my wife and I stopped at a walmart somewhere between here and close to Cleveland where her family lives. We got like $80 worth of stuff and my debit card was declined repeatedly. I called the bank and asked what was up and they said someone attempted to use my card in a "known high crime area" and I had to confirm I was there and they asked how long I was going to be there.

My local liquor store has most bottles of liquor up to ~$40 out in the open, but if you want your Hennessy you have to take a Hennessy Ticket from the little Hennessy Box and hand it to the cashier who will then hand you your Hennessy after you've paid. No idea why they do that.

What the fuck, that sounds insufferable.

Well, it's a small price to pay for Diversity and Multiculturalism of thought really. Unless you're a Bigot.

Wouldn't the implication be it's black Americans stealing that specific drink? The only forced Diversity and Multiculturalism in that regard would be on behalf of formerly slave-owning America > black slaves.

Unless there's some trend of the Vietnamese loving Hennessy that I didn't know about.

It has nothing to do with slavery per se. It's rap/ghetto culture that has put Hennessey on a pedestal:

Indeed. Maybe if America didn't force slaves into their country, it wouldn't now be dealing with high rates of Hennessy theft.

Agreed.

Hennessey is garbage

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

far from garbage. It's infinitely better than most of the shitty rum and gin that you drink ... that's for sure

That being said, im a whisky drinker so that shit is way too sweet for me. It's like candy.

edit: Btw the rap culture has brought down the name of hennessy, not raised it. It was a far more revered(and at one time considered one of the worlds best cognacs) before these clowns started posing with it in every shitty video.

 

[CiG]

This.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

This.

Yeah i dont care for brandy much. Its like whisky mixed with sugar. And cognac's are the best of the best as far as brandy goes. I'm strictly a whisky guy, but if the bar/occasion i'm at doesn't have proper whisky, cognac/brandy is def next in line for me

 

[CiG]

I actually like gin quite a lot myself. I don't drink that often though and when I do it tends to be middle-priced beer, nothing fancy.
