‘I’m not even supposed to be here today!’

“What kind of convenience store do you run here?”

Ho boy. If Kevin Smith isn’t all over this, he should be. “Clerks III: Roll Another One.” It’d beat the hell out of being a clerk at the Quick Stop, or an independent contractor on the Death Star.

Jay and Silent Bob would have to hustle to sell weed outside it, though. Maybe Trek could kick in a couple e-bikes so they could keep up.

  1. Most of these convenience services sure are inconvenient. They’re all designed for a market that works from home and doesn’t care that they’re paying top dollar for produce that went bad a week ago.

    I’ve been watching the personal shoppers at our grocery store. Their algorithm doesn’t specify a cart-stocking route, so they’ll grab the ice cream first when they have 30 more minutes of shopping, throw the eggs into the bottom of the delivery cart, and then top it off with a 20 lb bag of rice. And no one looks at the produce — they just grab what’s on top.

    On the other hand, ice cream trucks still show up in our neighborhood in the summertime. $5.00 for a single rocket pop, when you can get a dozen for $1.99 without the door to door service. So maybe we’re wired to prioritize laziness.

  2. Same page: Nike has self tying shoes that you control with your phone.

    I just can’t wait to see how Charmin gets into the robotics game. At last, I’ll finally be rid of this cursed dingleberry problem!!

    1. Steve O’, Italians have dealt with that issue – there are certainly more bidets here than even in France. In the USA we bought one of these things after we got so used to proper hygiene over here -https://www.brondell.com/bidets/bidet-toilet-seats/
      The $179 model worked just fine once you got used to the unheated water.
