Actually, if it's anything like Syfy's current shows. Avon will now be a female and she will have a love triangle with another female and a male character.
I still don't like the new Doctor...bring back David Tennant. I was overjoyed with the ending of the Pond arc. I couldn't stand Rory and Pond together. Please BBC, no more couples for the Doctor's companions.
It's free money if they send you the nielsen survey through snail mail. They sent one to me and it had three dollars in the envelope for my time filling out there survey. I promptly through the envelope in the trash and spent the three bucks on something. A few weeks later, I got another envelope with another three dollars in it. I sure hope they stay in business and keep sending me envelopes of money all they want.
I doubt that 18-49 is the only demographic that matters to advertisers, otherwise we would not be flooded with the Viagra, hair club, electric wheelchair, and Depends commercials. All ages are covered by different shows. Energy Drinks, Xbox games, Condoms, and beer are on the Reality TV/MTV channels. The depends, viagra, hair club are on NCIS/CSI/Price is Right shows. Birth Control pills/devices, tampons, and femine hygiene products are on the singing with the dancing stars shows. Kids toys and games are on the Saturday morning cartoon/Disney/Nick shows.
Now everyone that funded them just has to wait the 18-24 months to enjoy the DRM-free game that the developers created. Crossing my fingers for a great game experience.
I think the manager that hires the majority of the people for their appearance needs to be fired. I see way too many troglodytes mashing keys in stores. There are a few attractive people working behind counters, but for the most part they are hideous creatures that belong under a bridge or in a carnival freak show.
I'll speak for my fellow anti-socials. I do not expect the moron in front of me has never used a computer before, using coupons, paying in pennies, or buying some item that needs the employee to check the driver license of the computer-illiterate moron.
This will work except when the customer orders a small, medium, or large. Coffee shops like to use italian for their coffee sizes. I don't speak italian, so I don't know if Venti, Tall, or Grande is the bigger size. Keep your coffee down (here in the USA) to small, medium or large please. I hear it everytime, I pass a starbucks "I'll have whatever the large is". Solve that problem and coffee ordering will be easier. That and if someone orders a coffee with no other verbs, you just get him a cup of damn, black (with cream and sugar) coffee.
You're not alone, it doesn't really work for some americans, either. Especially the americans with a strong southern accent. I get a kick out of listening to how many times some of the people I know, with strong southern accents, repeat themselves over the phone to a automated voice system. I usually have an easier time understanding a Brit, unless he's using cockney, than some people in my own country.
They'll just do what Walmart did, increase the limit number. Instead of the 10 items or less line, they have the 20 items or less line. I miss 10 items or less lines.
I must be doing it wrong. You are supposed to tip the hotel check-in person, too?
Will these people get a nametag that instead of their name, says "You are supposed to tip me". How am I supposed to know who to tip and who not to tip? Are we supposed to tip everyone nowadays? We already tip the baggage handler, the valet, the hotel cleaning staff, and the elevator guy. How many more people do I have to support, because employers are too cheap to pay their staff?
Bring out the Manager, perhaps they need a tip, as well. Sorry for the rant about tipping, not because I am cheap, but because it is becoming a PITA to figure out who to tip, who not to tip, and how much to tip. Also, frustrating to carry around that many single bills in my pocket. I just really wished they started including all these tips into the room cost and stop nickle and diming me.
Congress is not acting fucktarded. They are acting like the greedy, self-serving bastards they have always been. They are just so blatantly obvious of their greed now than in the past, that they seem so fucktarded.
Haven't shopped at home depot for awhile, but most of the kiosks I have run across have a button on the screen that says something to the effect of skip bagging for this item.
Not around here. When the kiosks first came out, no one used them (was a wonderful line skipping time for us introverts). Now people are waiting in line to use one of the 4-8 kiosks. Usually I have to stand in a cashier's line, because either the line is too long for the kiosk, or there are clueless users of kiosks using them.
They actually show cased this tech when RFID first came out. I was excited that finally this would happen. However, it has never panned out, with the conspiracy theorists, unions, negative nancies, or whoever is holding this tech from my grocery/retail shopping experience.
I guess that is an age thing. Most of the younger adults care what everybody thinks about them. Us 35+ers, couldn't care less about what the person at the counters thinks of us. We'll stroll up to the counter with a basket full of alcohol, correct sized condoms, and femine hygiene products for the wife.
I usually have no problems with the grocery store kiosk, except waiting for the moron in front of me to figure out how to use it. However, I am not one of those people that memorize the prices for everything in their cart. So, I could be getting screwed, but wouldn't know it. Also, if I am buying something that needs to be weighed, such as produce, I use a cashier and not the kiosk.
The convenience factor is huge with me. Too bad everyone starting using them, when they first came out I was one of the only ones to use it. Used to be able to skip the lines at checkout.
Is it just Hyatt's and other similarly priced hotels that have the kiosks? I'm an introverted traveler that has never seen a check-in kiosk. Does the kiosk spit out the room key?

You need more fiber in your diet, if it takes you 20 minutes to take a shit.

True, but they tend to love the taste of human flesh.

Usually the kiosk has a "do not bag item" button. Press that next time it doesn't register that light item.
meant without cream and sugar.

That would work as long as they hide their customer service questionaire behind a code provided by the human tech support.

Don't they usually have keys with the picture of the food on it?

Occasional? The majority of people, I am behind at the kiosk, act like they have never used a computer before in their life.
