Homey's Despot is the only store I've ever seen with an aisle list.

I think The Shuffle is a way stores force people into doing a whole lot more impulse buying.

Add "Never shop when you're hungry." to Winnie's list of top things we've learned. I eat a snack or meal before going into town for groceries and my bottom line is lower for it.

How about a transporter system which brought the items up to you in the front of the store at the insta-cashier, or beamed you and your cart to the item you wished to purchase, Scotty?

Add the replicator option, and you don't even need inventory.

That's the only time I shop. My stomach is upset when I'm hungry, and I can't even look at the impulse junk.

There is some pegboard in both of my shops, but no outlines. I'm saving the outline tape for anyone who tries to steal my tools.

ROFLMAO!!!!

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

I need the replicator template for Ruedesheimer Rosengarten '82, too long since I've seen that label!

I would be, except for the discouraging habit the hooks have, of releasing themselves from the board at the most inconvenient time! Tore out my last piece of pegboard in disgust.

The model shop at Xerox PARC had a pegboard full of hand tools, outlined just as you say. They did not use the nasty wire hooks though. I recall painted wood blocks screwed into the board. Worked a treat!

I'm living proof that "it's never too amazingly late".

Now *there* is an idea! HEY now! You tryin to get me arrested?

Whatta great scam for ridding oneself of junk! I've got about 8 yards of chopped concrete pieces, Larry. Suppose I could wash a few cars and donate, say

3000 lbs in the driveways labeled as 'free wheel chocks'?

Just flashed back to episode 114 of "Lost In Space" where a plant duplicated objects except for the *inside* of the object.

Prescient foretelling of Harbor Freight, wot?

Precisely. I know someone whose job is to go from store to store doing the shuffle -- for precisely that reason. It brings in enough extra income for the stores to pay for the shufflers.

Enjoy, DoN.

The first thing I would try is 20 pounds of San Marano Tomatoes. I can't find them or the seeds in Central Florida. I have only seen a few cans, now & then. I used to grow them up north and used them for Chili, Spaghetti and Pasta. Slice off the ends, cut them in quarters, and cook them with the skins. The skins float off when they are cooked.

Nonsense. Their suppliers duplicate what they are given as samples. Defective samples make for defective duplicates.

You needed better hooks. Some are a real pain to remove, because they fit so tight.

3 bucks for a packet of seeds. Could be a bargain!
