what kind of story do you think you will have to tell people when you come back from the war

I doubt I'll have much to say as my specilaity will be weather (plus Air Force, hyuk hyuk) so unless I do special operations weather (which sticks you behind enemy lines) I'll be pretty boring methinks

This is probably better suited for another topic, but what the heck is special forces weather? A combat meteorologist?

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

The frozen White Castle Burgers? Those things rock. Unfortunately we don't have any White Castle Restaurants in the South.

the way it works with bagging is that as the cashier is scanning your items, you wait at the end of the counter where the cashier slides the items down. there are bags down there for you to use, and really it only takes as long as scanning the items does because you are bagging them as quickly as they are getting scanned. even if there was a bagger there, you would still have to wait. i don't see the convienience. if you think there is something wrong with the price, then just look at the receipt and check if there is a bunch of crap or things that went through twice. it's not like the cashier has any incentive to over charge you, so all it would be is a minor mistake.

I'm still willing to bet it's faster because you don't have to also FUMBLE THROUGH YOUR SHIT TO GET YOUR CREDIT CARD or whatever!

also a detail but still important, bagboys can often take heavier items or more overloaded carts to the car for people who need help.

we've got bagger people sometimes, i think it's when the staff have nothing else to do sort of thing.

also i don't think they've had any specialised training because they often pack in like raw chicken next to the baby formula and stuff

In Australia the checkout people double as bagboys. We also have a lot of self service checkouts where it's all electronic (I think these are in the UK and also possibly in the US?).

ALDI seems alright, my mum shops there sometimes. I haven't hated any of the stuff from there, and it's certainly at a good price. I'm a bit of a sucker for fresh produce though, and our supermarkets are fairly cheap as is so it's usually not worth the trip to go to ALDI to save a few dollars. We have quite a few of them in the outlying suburbs.

We have those self check out things they are annoying they're like, "PLEASE PLACE ITEM IN BAG" or "UNIDENTIFIED ITEM."

the ones we have in a giant eagle around here are always really easy and don't do any of that gay PUT IN BAG stuff at all! they used to but then i think they realized no one was using them because they were a pain in the ass so they replaced them with good ones only now people still don't use them for whatever reason so there's never a line and it's like twice as fast as checking out normally so i just use that 95% of the time

Wtf, I think I've seen a bagboy only several times in all of my shopping experiences in Canada. Is it really that common in America? Almost all the big grocery stores make you do it yourself here.

Every Grocery store I've been in they always have bagboys putting yer crap in the bag. Most of the time they were teens, but sometimes you'd get that one 30 year old mentally handicapped guy.

Didn't he try eating your products?

Edit: Oh forgot, he had a fist to eat.
