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... <G>
BM> <chuckle> Things are slowly starting to make sense with the remodel! Still
BM> a lot of holes in the shelves -- either not available due to something with
BM> 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... <G>
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. <g>
That's a good sign... :)
