Gottdam USPS.

Some criminal asshole broke the main lock on our community mailbox in early February, so everybody on our side of the street has had to pick up their mail at the post office station which is a 24 mile round trip.
We have been driving over there once week to pick up our bundled snailmail….sometimes the place is crowded and have to wait. 
They have obviously been trashing most of the junk mail, which is fine with me. 

However, today we realized we have missed receiving some important automobile insurance documents. 
That pisses me off as much as having to do the weekly round trip runs to the post office for 8 months (30+ trips). And no, the PO is not anywhere close to our usual shopping venues, so it has to be a special effort to go there.
They claim to have put in work orders 2 or 3 times to get the lock fixed so the carrier can resume placing our daily mail in our boxes. 
No telling what other important financial & government paperwork or personal mail has been lost because of the USPS incompetence.

Guess I’ll start harassing the administrators of that station to get their slow asses in gear and get the box lock fixed. 
(our section is in the center - the others are undamaged)

My brain is basically wired to scan through the apps on my phone by the color of the icon.

It's convenient then that app developers love frequently changing the entire color scheme of their icon.

Grocery stores: are requiring you more and more to clip digital coupons to save $. 
 

Feels like data mining to me. I already gave up info to get in your loyalty program. Why are you moving deals to digital?

Because they have already sold your email address to everyone who wants it, and now they need to sell increasingly intrusive data from your phone to continue harvesting you. When that wellspring of "grant our app your location data" inevitably runs dry, they'll probably have some new level of intrusiveness to gin into shareholder profits for a few quarters.

It's no different than having to use apps at fast food restaurants to get the best deals, even if you're part of the loyalty program already. 

Why? Data harvesting.

How is HEB so good at couponing with old school paper coupons hanging directly by the item?

It's so  fucking strange how they build trust with the customer...

If HEB ran the country, we’d be damn near a utopia

It's 11 am. Why is outlook suggesting I scheduled send this email at 3 pm? 

One of my favorites, especially when you are replying within 10 minutes or so of their initial request.  STFU Outlook.  What do you know about workin hours?  They're probably checking email while watching the game, just like I am.

It's like they give a shit about my shopping experience and they want me to come back.

It takes some getting used to, but I think they're onto something.

Who uses coupons? You must be poor.

Let HEB merge with Trader Joe's just to be sure.
