My regular store has a carousel at next to the cashier, and it would be extremely difficult for a customer to bag their own. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysnGFaa3O28> Especially since they put up plastic guards between the customer and the cashier. We have a bottle-deposit law here, and they aren't accepting any bottle returns, either. Cindy Hamilton |

Costco does not allow the check out personnel to handle your bags in any way. That's because your bags may be contaminated. They will box your purchases in their boxes. Stores are doing their best to avoid sharing the virus. We all need to do our part. Janet US |

Their bags have been in storage and not touched with bare hands. The clean all the surfaces frequently. They don't know where you bags have been or who has been touching them. As I mentioned before, some stores will let you bring your bags but you have to pack them yourself. Others won't even let you bring them into the store. |

Around here we pay deposit on wine, beer and liquor bottles. They are returned to The Beer Store, but they were not accepting them for a while. Last month they had one Beer Store in the region accepting them. PITA has to take two bins of empties and wait inline for half an hour to get back $5-6. Some charity A lot of people were just dropping them at had a spot marked off for people to drop them off and the proceeds going to the charity. I think most people looking at the line figured there was no way they would wait for a couple bucks. |

My father's parents were both born and raised in England and my mother comes from background that is mostly English, Irish Scottish with some French and German thrown in. Shepherds pie was a frequent supper in our family and it was always made with beef. I never even heard of Cottage pie until I read about it here a couple years ago. That being said, I sometimes pick up some ground lamb and use it to make Shepherds pie, instead of the more common beef. |

The names of food will typically change in different geographical locations. Most times, it changes once it reaches different lands. The stuff we call "chili" is not the same stuff served in Texas. The local chili here has a lot of sugar, beans, and mayo in it and it's served over rice. It's roots lie in Cincinnati rather than Texas. How this happened, I haven't a clue. |

I just thought it funny that I grew up on the stuff and only after 60 years of eating the stuff I am being told people who did not grow up with it that I, my parents and my grandparents have been calling it the wrong thing. |

Time to find a different job. I agree. But I think what is preventing him from getting hired by a nursing agency is his internet postings that are there for the whole world to see. They see some of his screaming, ranting, cursing posts, and think that's not the person we want or need to hire. They can't be sure he wouldn't snap while caring for a defenseless patient. Yes, time to move to another career. Plenty of places are hiring that he could try for. But his posts will follow him similarly as a felony record follows many people. |

Funny how people addicted to the Internet think it is where EVERYONE looks all the time like they do! ROFL! I got my last pediatric nursing job when there was almost just as much crap bearing my name out here on the Internet! ROFL! Get a LIFE! I have mine. I just come here to see the extent of human idiocy on display for all to see, and NO ONE CARES! ;-) John Kuthe... |

Even the human ones. Can be. Just don't make too many assumptions about animals being cute and friendly based on their appearance or the way the interact with each other. I worked as a trainer at a marine show for a while. The dolphins all looked very friendly, and the orca seemed to love attention and physical contact. I also once witnessed a violent outburst when I tossed a vitamin filled chuck of fish to the orca and one of the dolphins jumped across to steal it, strike the whale with its open mouth. All hell broke out as the whale chased the dolphins around and around the pool. I was on a stage just a few inches above water and had to get out to avoid being swept in. On my first day we were getting some seals out to do their show. I asked the other guy if they ever bit. He said he had been there 5 years and never been bitten. He no sooner said that than one of them hauled off and bit him in the calf. It was a serious four tooth puncture. The ones that made me most nervous were the elephant seals. They look all cute and cuddly when the sit up and look around with that huge nose flopping about. In nature that pose is usually used to assert authority and if ignored can be followed with an attack. Looks cute, but don't mess with them. |

Why yes, if only people would do what we wanted them to do, life would certainly be sweet, eh? As we all know, Americans don't like being told what to do - things like wearing a mask when among others or self-quarantining. If you ask me, you should be wishing for stuff that's important, instead of stupid. (sigh) |

As we all know, Americans don't like being told what to do - things like wearing a mask when among others or self-quarantining. I've been self-quarantining for 2 months now and I do wear a mask when going to a store. Grocery store with mask today...first trip out in 15 days. What is your problem? I certainly hope your attitude doesn't represent all of Hawaii. If this gets out, you'll lose your valuable tourist industry. Even though you're not part of that industry, it does affect your prices of everything. As I just posted, I look at all your food pics as they always look and sound good. Plus I know that I'm clicking on a link of your meal. Your constant youtube links however come with no explanation and I've learned long ago not to waste my time. Most always not something that interests me. This isn't all about you personally either. I click on no one's youtube links unless they clue me in on what I'll see. "Settle down, Beavis" |

If I got paid per click, you can bet your ass that I'd be real accommodating. If you want me to do something for you, you gotta do something for me. The old adage is true - what's in it for me? As far as the tourist industry goes. The Hawaiians are real accommodating. You can have anything you want as long as you pay for it. What we won't accommodate is you guys thinking we're your slaves. That said, the problem we're having is that idiots are still coming here during this quarantine period. We can handle this covid-19 thing by ourselves but people have to stop flying in spreading their germs. When tourists fly in, they're told they'll have to spend 2 weeks seeing the sights at various colorful locations inside their hotel rooms. It's like being in prison except the food's a little better and your ass is in solitary the whole time. Of course, as we all know, Americans don't like to be told what to do - things like wearing a mask when among others or self-quarantining. Then we have to accommodate them and will hand out free gifts for their stupidity. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/travel/hawaii-quarantine-virus.html |

Which means you actually won't cut them because you won't use them in the first place? I hope you realize that green peppers are not hot or spicy at all. Even blander tasting once cooked. |

Even blander tasting once cooked. I can't speak for OhFeelMe, but green peppers (aka bell peppers) have that distinct disadvantage of creating indigestion and excessive burping. |
