Publix is test marketing the whole "place your order online and pick up at the store" concept right now. I believe it is only in 2 or 3 test stores in the Tampa market. But it is closer to what you are looking for. I have no idea how successful the test has been.
That gig is long gone. Most of the steel manufacturing is gone, moved overseas. And why is that? Because making steel here in the US is expensive.
And why is it expensive? Because of situations that you just offered. Paying people not to work doesn't do anyone any good. Is it because of actions like this that I dislike unions. The only people who profit from this is the higher-ups in the union. The workers themselves may do alright in the short term, but eventually the jobs move overseas and never comeback.
Guess you don't watch any baseball or have never seen those little round cans behind the register at a convenience store. Chewing tobacco, where it's actual chew, or dip or snuff, is alive and very prevalent.
Cruel and unusual? This is a military brig, not Camp Cupcake that Martha Stuart vacationed at. I have actually seen the cells in the Quantico brig. They are about 10ftx10ft with a concrete "bed". You are confined to your cell for 23 hours a day and all meals are served in your cell. Although the bed is concrete you are provided a mattress, pillow, blanket and sheets. These must be rolled up and stored neatly during the day. You are not permitted to sleep during normal waking hours, you may not lay down. You are only permitted to read the Bible (or your choice of religious texts), the UCMJ or legal material related to your case.
This is the same location and conditions that John Hinkley Jr was held under after his attempted assassination of President Reagan.
Cruel? Hardly. Unusual? Maybe to John Q. Public, but certainly not the military. Excessively harsh? Not a chance. He is a U.S. soldier accused of treason. He is undoubtedly a flight risk considering he is face life in prison and potentially the death penalty.
Don't worry it will go bad. I too was victim of the legions of/.ers who think that Julian is the new savior of the world.Not that I really give a shit what other people think of me. For the life of me I can't understand why his actions are being applauded. If this guy was an industrial spy who had stolen and posted trade and operational secrets of your employer would you be standing up and cheering for him knowing that this was going to negatively impact your employment?
This is not going to end well. I suspect that we will be seeing your son on the news in about 10 years. Probably along with the words murder and psychotic.
Throw in a bat (hells yeah!) and a glove while you are at it.
Otherwise he is just going to end up a cheeto eating, Red Bull swilling, chain smoking, self diagnosed Aspy, basement dweller.
I have done exactly this on many occasions, particularly at shows for one specific artist. Jimmy Buffett. The party in the parking lot hours before the show is legendary. As these shows are so popular the sell out quick and I refuse to pay the prices that scalpers are asking.
So I got the venue with my friends who have tickets. There are always tickets to be found, either last minute releases at the box office or from people in the lot. The closer is gets to curtain the more likely you are to get one at face value, sometimes even under face.
Showing up to a show without a ticket sometimes doesn't constitute poor planning. It might even be smarter planning.
If you work in a newer building your door handles should be levers (due to ADA rules). Now say you have an office right next to an electrical closet. If you check the back of the lever on the office door it is most likely smooth. Checking the handle on the electrical closet door there is a good chance that there will be ridges on the lever. This lets a visually impaired person know that there is a potential danger located behind the door.
I have built a middle school for $15 million (800 students) and a high school for $38 million (2000 students) in Florida. Granted construction costs are higher in LA, but really this project should cost somewhere around $140MM. It sounds to me like this the grand vision of some arrogant architect and school board members.
With all the budget issues in California (IOUs, Furlough Fridays)I really can't see how anyone can justify spending that much money on ONE school. If I was an LA resident I would be screaming mad. But I'm sure the local construction contractors are drooling at the chance to get in on this.
Enjoy your rendition to Gitmo you jackoff! You get exactly what you deserve. You are not a whistleblower. You are an egotistical self-serving bag of shit. I hope that when you are rotting away in Gitmo they let you see the video of PFC Manning being executed by firing squad for treason.
Let me guess, you will be the first in line to complain about the "per pound" pricing when your wife turns into a fat ass after she has a baby? (Don't forget that you are going to have to fork over some more of the green to fly while she is pregnant.
Now what if your kid happens to be a bit of a chubby one? Oh shit! You just got bit twice by your own arrogance, sense of entitlement and bigotry.
I bet you are a big supporter of insurance companies doing genetic testing before offering you insurance or determining your rate. Better hope those genes are squeaky clean!
So you are saying that there are 10 year old record producers in Hollywood?
Well that explains the crap that passes for pop music. Maybe he can tell Justin Beiber to just go away.
You are obviously a card-carrying union shill.
Unions have outlived their usefullness. We have realized the errors of ways and now have LAWS which prohibit child labor, unsafe working conditions, etc. That shit just wont happen anymore.
If you are a union member you are obviously paid more than your education, experience and aptitude should dictate.
Unions have inflated wages to an unsustainable level. Take for example the UAW http://www.uaw.org/node/287 and here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070924073107AAuGk8O. Average straight wage of a UAW assembler is $27.81 per hour. $54,000 a year to assemble cars? And that doesn't include overtime. That's bullshit. How about $103,000 a year to operate a forklift? Probably with only a high school diploma. WTF?
No wonder you blow a wad in your jeans over unions. You are scared shitless of getting paid what your labor is actually worth.
This is about paying reasonable wages for your labor. Including keeping wages high enough to earn a decent living, and low enough that Im not getting poked in the ass when I buy a car.
I'm certainly not Ebenzeezer but thanks for trying.
All I got out of it was that two yuppie hippie-wannabes figure it would be cool to work for Amazon for a month.
What they realized was that RV campsites are dirty and Amazon doesn't pay squat for temp help.
The only two words that can truly describe these two "experience junkies" (WTF that means) is douche and bags. What a bunch of whiney crying brats. "I can't twitter that I saw a Bill Clinton corkscrew" Oh the humanity!!!
If I saw you twittering at work either you or the phone is going out the window. Most likely both.
If these two sorry excuses want an experience and a job, come work with me.
How does the desert of Iraq sound? How about no twitter/cellphones? Or heavily filtered internet? You might actually like the living units as they are pretty similar to what you are living in now. Oh did I mention that the job is 7 days a week 12 hours a day? Right now Im on my 93rd straight day of work. But I have a vacation coming up in another 30 days so Im good.
You two up for it? Didnt think so. Go back to your pathetic lives.

It's what plants crave.
Now excuse me, I'm off to Starbucks for a handjob.

And you are the fat basement dwelling pussy who enjoys those freedoms.
Don't forget to yell upstairs to mom for more coffee!

Apparently he really likes curry chicken. Kinda odd fellow.

Oh the process will work. But no one will use it because you can't make money of off it.
Find a way to profit from it and it will flourish.
War crimes are more important to YOU.
I'm sure the two "victims" think quite differently about the relative importance of the alleged crimes.
I don't think I would consider Youtube being blocked a crash.
I see it as more of a blessing.

If Saddam was still around i think he would be North Korea's only friend.
Ok, well maybe him and Satan.
Oh NOZ! My precious karma!!
/.ers and I fully expect all usual jeers and taunts.
I'm not a pussy so I don't post AC. I also don't bow down to asshats like Assange.
My views on the whole wikileaks issue is opposite of most
Thanks for the confirmation.
Enjoy your rendition to Gitmo you jackoff!
You get exactly what you deserve. You are not a whistleblower. You are an egotistical self-serving bag of shit.
