I overheard a good one at a convenience store a couple of years back. Two older guys, looked to be in their late 60's, met in the aisle I was in. One asked the other "Are you feeling alright?" and the other answered "I'm not doing too good myself". I was still grinning when I left the store and no one else caught on to what the two had said because they were all too young to have heard the song.

"Decided to wait , knowing it would fall out anyway"  ???    :-?

I was there in the 1970's , but I'm a feared I don't remember much of it !   Those were my late teen years ... ::)

I do remember , I rode a Gold Honda CB350 twin, then a Gold Yamaha XS-650 - for that decade .  :)

Mine hasn't fallen out yet but it is a lot thinner and grayer than it was back then. What a drag it is getting old.  ;)

The ubiquitous
Now Hiring
signs in Longview had me confused. My SIL is a UPS driver and knows people all over the place and I asked him what he thought was the reason restaurants and auto parts and so many other places were needing people. He said the Dollar General distribution center was The current reason. He said they were paying fifteen bucks an hour to start and good benefits and vacation.  And went on to say it is Goin to get worse, because Gap are building an approximately 850,000 square foot center in our recently built Industrial Park. If I had the ability I'd be building an apartment complex and storage facility and try to get Buccees store put in. If you have never heard of them, look them up. They have a kiosk to order food and drink, pay with your card,wait for your number. Decent quality, reasonable prices and they have ready made sammiches and Clean,attractive stores.
In Galveston they have a sign above the door with job titles, starting pay and what you can earn in that job with time. They pay well, especially compared with other convenience store/gas stations. And yeah, it comes with expectations of excellence. Walking down the aisle coming from the restroom you better be looking at the stock on the shelves, fronting it up or heading back to get product to put on the shelf. Fail to be that employee a coupla times and
Out the Door.. What you look like, don't matter. Tats and green and purple hair? Cool.
Do The Job and you are golden. Treat the customers Right, golden..
IDK where they are,, but I think they started down around Galveston.

Is the Help Wanted sign widespread where you are?
Any idea why employers are having trouble getting enough people to work?

Hay we have "HELP WANTED" signs up everywhere around southern middle Tn.

Hay guys , I still have most of my hair , but it's going "CHROME" little by little.  
But 'CHROME" is good !

I told my wife I'm getting a pony tail when I turn 70 , I won't repeat what she said !  :P

That is an affectionate term for something or someone from Canada.

Dave's correct quote should be "Circle K, eh?". :)

Dave , Your redeemed !

Internet search of nick names :

Canuckia – Canadians are sometimes referred to as Canucks, so this is the nounal form of that nickname.

Zipi , Did they open the border ?

Title: Re: And the Sign Says
Post by zipidachimp on 12/19/21 at 13:22:23

Rut: the border was opened sort of: some new regs, plus situation appears to be changing due to 'omicron'. My expired passport is in process of renewal, but until situation settles down, I'm stayin' home.
Cheers!  8-)
