I pulled into a Dollar General store yesterday (September 2nd) and they had a bin of Christmas wrapping paper for sale on the sidewalk in front of the store.

It looked faded (like it was leftover in a warehouse from last year), and I think it was with the discounted summer close out stuff, but still.

We were driving somewhere and suddenly decided to order some chicken on the way home (figured it would be done when we got there and we wouldn’t have to wait).

They required an app: my wife downloaded it, set up an account, picked the store that was on the way home (but not closest to where we were) and put the order into the app, only to have it fail sending it to the location.

Several times.

By the third try we were in the parking lot and I just went in and ordered.

Had a tech drive an hour and half to a site where the onsite staff couldn’t get a server to boot last week.

Somewhere between scheduling and actually driving down (half a day later), someone came to work that understood how the power button works, but didn’t bother to let anyone know that it was already booted back up and working.
