It's the only grocery store on this list in my area. As usual, a skewed survey. FWIW, Publix adopted a recent SC proposed law against plastic bags (as did many other local retailers). For some reason it has not officially been signed into law. But the retailers stepped up. Some stopped offering plastic bags at the checkout. I've seen signs out in front of stores urging people to bring their own bags. Publix offers sturdy paper bags. With handles. Seems to me the handles are very helpful. Jill |

We still choose to have the checkout pack in plastic bags but then at the car we slip them into the totes. We save the plastic bags for disposing of used kitty litter. Canvas totes don't cost much and many businesses give them away for free for the advertizing exposure. |

I *always* get those because if I bring in my own bags, they get confused. I don't buy much at QFC. On the odd occasions that I do, I bring my own. But sometimes I want a couple of plastic bags. Only after I get into the store do I remember that they don't have plastic. Seattle and Edmonds have no plastic but most stores around here do. |

Does it have about 6 grams of fat? Then just say that. Otherwise, you probably meant 18% calories from fat, but it's simpler to just say 6 grams of fat. Let the reader figure out what numbers they want to generate from the stats to make them justify eating something (or not). "Only 18%? Oh, hell, I can eat a whole gallon of this and it's only 18%" Pea soup. Yick. I'm not a soup person. Stew with no vegetables for me. -sw |

I THINK!! Was that 80 gallon water you supposedly bought at Home Depot on May 26th just a side effect of the medication, a symptom of your progressive mental decay, are you a lying piece of shit, or all of the above? https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&hl=en#!original/rec.food.cooking/HunbCMWluME/zw9v3qytBAAJ > But I need my electrician Steve's consult on things!

So I went to my local Home Depot and looked at this huge box in the back and it said little on it except when I saw "80 gallons" I said nope, this is the one I now have to return! And the lady working there didn't mind, she knew it was just Home Depot's fucked up way of doing things! She WORKS for them, after all! Yeah, I'm crazy! Crazy LIKE A FOX!

Having to compare myself with others would be burdensome therefore I avoid doing that. People, to me, just are. OTOH, I enjoy talking to people that have some expertise or are smarter than I am. Typically, I'll just grill the heck out of them. That's easy to do if you're not thinking only of yourself. Classical guitar players also have this problem with constantly comparing themselves to other players. CGer have a awful time listening to other players. They hear technique, and string noise, phrasing, and dynamics - not music. That's just sad. As it goes, your ego and vanity hides the real world from you. |
