I was in Costco the other day and heard someone using their calculator to do 6 times 12. At least they got 72!
And if spring doesn't start on March 21, maybe we need to re-boot the calendar again.
Yup, just the other day, I gave the order-taker at Burger King a $20 bill, along with some change. He had to call the manager in order to give me the right change back, (just even dollars) since I think he hit the wrong buttons. I've had other instances where the clerk couldn't make change when the cash register didn't tell them exactly how much to give back. A few weeks ago, I brought in a coupon to a Long John Silver's, and it took four people to figure out how to enter the discount. Nope, there was no bar code on the coupon like for some other restaurants.
I guess Spring did officially start yesterday, a bit late though since Spring Training started a few weeks ago. :? We drive past the Surprise facility (Rangers and Royals), almost every day and see people standing on the sidewalk across the street watching the players practice. I guess it's kind of like the old, "watch the game through a knothole" thing for free. I guess it's worth it to some, especially when I see that there are some games where you can spend $100 for a seat to see a Spring Training game.
Oh, the weather for the games should be pleasant, we're looking at the mid-90's today, dropping down to the high 70's and 80's the rest of the week. You can see why people flock here for Spring Training. Not only the players, but visitors too, just to watch the games.
