SCORCHER

Yes it is

and it is making people totally

STUPID

***********

Where do you begin on a day like today???

oh , I don't know ,

How about stupid f'ing DISH TV people.

But lets be honest they were not the ones that set

the ball rolling today - but they basically put the

frosting on the cake.. Oh yes, that would be

the cake that I tried to buy at Wal-Mart - the new and

improved Super Center on HWY 107..

****

YES, I was stupid, I thought because it was the NEW

SUPER CENTER that things might actually

be different --

NOT !!!!

I got done with my shopping and even

picked up a couple of extras because I

pretty please that you could actually manuever

thru the store .. It was not the typical

junked up dirty Wal-Mart that I am used to seeing

in Arkansas. I even managed to ignore the employees

back in the electronic / linens area that were speaking

Ebonics and blocking the aisle. I still managed to get past

them and pick up a CD by Etta James that I have

really been wanting. On thru the store past produce,

and finally to the check out lines --

GUESS WHAT ????

this is where you really know

you are in a Wally World..

3 check stands open,

thats right - count them T H R E E !!

****

Each line had a minimum of 8 people , so I go to

customer service and the mouth breathing , window

licking manager tells me that he

"ain't got no more cashiers".

I suggested that

he get some of the ones from the back that are

doing NOThING . I then explain to him

that CUSTOMER SERVICE

is lacking in this store and since he could not

find somebody to run the cash registers, he could

just have the cart FULL of stuff that I had in

front of me. Well I triggered a mini revolt

because two other women that had come up to the

customer service area to complain about the long lines

looked at me and said "Great IDEA" and they left their full

carts sitting there also . I know that all of these carts

had perishables in them and I'll bet there are

still sitting there tonight , but don't worry,I am sure that

chicken and milk weill be back on the shelves by tomorrow morning.

****

Soo , that was the start of another hot miserable fucking

day in Arkansas. Land of the Air You Can Wear.

*****

Then I stop at another store -- A SMALL store and

get a few essentials, including a glass bottle of

pizza sauce.. YOU GUESSED it !!!

I got into the kitchen with it , the bottom fell out of the

bag and I had F'ng sauce all over the place.

^^

Now I am pissed and it looks like there has

been a mass murder in the kitchen.The fucking dogs

are barking ( and shedding) . I am soooo over

having pets .. When these three are gone --

THAT IS IT .. Don't ANYBODY ever bring another

4 legged animal into my house for any reason>

GOT IT !!!!

***

BTW-- this is not the end of another

day in HELL..

***

I get home and Tom comes home and open the NEW

bill from Direct TV.. OF course they managed to fuck

up that one car funeral too.

As if I am not in a foul enough

mood now I call DishTV and speak to Mujibur in India.

His name is Brrrruce.

Whatever..

Now you must read this with a Hindu accent:

This es Brrruce- how may I seeervice you ??

First - Is there anybody that has English as a first langauge??

Vhat iss the prrooblem??

The Problem is I have had this service less than a week

and already you people are screwing things up.

How may I heeelp you.

etc etc etc , then Mujibur hangs up.

******

I call back and have to play 40 freaking questions

with the stupid automated call center again.

****

This Time , I get Rukmani,and her English is no

better than Brrrruces was ..

*******

WTF-- Why do I have to press 1 for English -

if none of them speak ENGLISH !!!!!

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

OF course while I am typing this Buddy HAS to go out

and in and out and in.. He is about ready to be

out permanently.

****

S C R E A M I N G

N O W ! ! !

One last thing-- I was watching WE tv and they were

showing some guy from India getting married here in the

USA.. His family paid for a $300,000 wedding.

Where do they get the money? The bride has a $35,000

engagement ring.

*****

Are they taking insurance policies out on Americans

and then tormenting us to death when we call for

tech support or credit card questions or

billing inquiries??
