Subj : Re: Eggs! To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Wed Aug 12 2020 20:01:44 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 14-Jul-2020 08:59 <=- NB>>> Our store still has the bags of 6 (cooked, peeled) both in organic NB>>> and regular... those are in dairy, next to the uncooked eggs... but NB>>> this finally answered the question of where that odd 2-pk at the NB>>> checkout had come from (at least potentially).... ;) BM>> Yes: doubt the store is just going to buy a case of cooked eggs just BM>> for the check out. NB>> The 2-pk eggs are at the front of the store with other quick-grab NB>> dairy, so sorta just for the checkout... I haven't seen the 2-egg NB>> packages anywhere else in the store... :) BM> Maybe not enough received for two places, or they figured the two pack BM> would sell as a grab-and-go item by the checkouts but someone doing BM> their weekly shopping would buy a 6-pack and probably not a 2-pack. Most likely the latter... :) BM>> I still haven't seen any at Hy-Vee; admittedly not BM>> doing an all-out search for them but not at the Eggs portion of the BM>> store. Which is 'to the left' of some meats which initially seems to BM>> not make sense but transitions from (starting partway down to the BM>> right) kielbasa, lunch meats, breakfast sausage, bacon, EGGS! So lunch BM>> to breakfast! They're clever!! (Milk and orange juice is on the back BM>> wall two aisles away.) NB>> Each store has their own way of being clever in their setups... ;) NB>> Yours does sound particularly clever... BM> Things are slowly starting to make sense with the remodel! BM> Still a lot of holes in the shelves -- either not available due to BM> something with COVID-19 or for some reason temporarily turned off BM> received the stock -- the COVID-19 tends to make more sense as the BM> store and manufacturer still wants to sell. Covid does tend to keep making disruptions in supply, whether at the manufacture end or the distribution afterwards.... BM>>> "Whadaya doin'?!" "Just checking for six feet. COVID-19, y'know!" NB>>> [wary shake of head] Dunno about that... tempers are likely to be NB>>> getting short with all the isolating people have had to be doing... NB>>> even eccentric might not seem very humorous... ;) I'd only do it NB>>> with someone I knew, and that was already in on the operation... ;) BM>> Right: don't want to end up being a news headline! Measuring with BM>> someone I knew would be a lot less dangerous (at any time!) but BM>> probably skew the results. They would either know ahead of time I was BM>> going to check something, so drive differently, or end up being BM>> considered even more -- umm, 'eccentric' than they thought I was! NB>> You could maybe just warn that at some time, you might jump out NB>> of your car to check out something... not tell them exactly what NB>> you want to measure, lest it influence their driving... ;) BM> Possibly, though I still get a hare jumpy if I'm followed even if I BM> know who's following me. In this case, though, you'd have asked them to.... ;) NB>>>> Just as easy to glance and toss into recycle, though... ;) But nicely NB>>>> done might be enough of an eye-catcher to at least read once... BM>>> Or glance at the back: ooo - blank! Slice with letter opener and BM>>> becomes scratch paper! NB>>> That works, too... ;) BM>> Saves money from buying scratch pads, though have purchased because BM>> 'fit the job'. Maybe need/prefer all the same size. clean edges, etc. NB>> Some jobs, any piece of scrap will work... other jobs, some NB>> uniformity is more helpful, especially if the scraps need to be kept NB>> for a while... ;) BM> Right on both. Some notes are temporary and are basicly jotting of a BM> few words. Others are still temporary but a little more long term. BM> So far none are getting yellowed. That's a good sign... :) ttyl neb .... Sorry, you are not an instant winner. Try another message. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
