On topic chuckle
Today, I wandered in to A.C. Moore, to discover DMC floss was on sale 8 for
a $1. One woman was kitting up a chart, another getting 1 of each DMC number, with 2 or more of certain numbers - just to have. I noticed the lady with one (or more) of each checking out in the lane beside me and told the clerk she should be glad the lady in red hat hadn't come to her line and why. The clerk then told me of the day, her third working there, of a woman that had come through with a cart full to the top with floss skeins - 3300 of them to be exact. Took almost an hour to check her out. Paid cash in small bills and coin. I chuckled all the way home. Cheryl |

When our new Jo-anne's opened they had floss on sale at the midnight madness. They were scanning the floss a skein at a time. A year later, I pointed the inefficiency of this out to a manager, 'but we have to have inventory control' he said. Sez I, so tally them and scan under a generic floss number, then the next day inventory the remaining floss" He slapped his forehead at the practicality of the idea...... |

You mean I'm NOT the inly person this happens to? I warn people that getting
behind me is tantamount to screwing up the transaction of the person in front of me! "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ...

What a great idea, Mirjam! And it undoubtedly looked nice packaged that way - like candy skeins of floss filling the bowl. ellice |
