Dear Diary, When did people stop understanding words? Far to often have I been seeing conversation where I say something, then they say something synonymous with the tone of disagreement then I say, yes, that is what I said. Or they disagree with a dictionary because that isnt what they think the word means.
Or even its just general retardation, today I was at the supermarket pointing out an error on the tag to an employee. She started claiming that the orange price on the tag is what the store pays for that product... Seriously? I mean wow, that is just stupid. She WORKS at the grocery store, no wonder the tag was messed up. They have people that dont know that the tag means. By the way for anyone reading this, the orange part of the tag is the price per unit, as in compares similar items by how much they cost for the standard measurement of that item, like pound or gallon, very usefull when looking at a single package of ramen noodles priced at 1.07$ per pound and a bulk pack of 12 ramen noodles at 1.11$ per pound..... Yes you saw that correctly, and yes I did the math on the price and that tag was correct.... and then I pointed THAT out to a DIFFERENT employee and that employee still thought that the bulk pack saved you money............... America... the leader of the free world.... and this is the type of people that we are putting into it.... A few months ago, I applied to get a job at this store and I did not get it... Wow.... just wow... I used to want to rule the world but now I just pity it.

Is it weird that I think bulk items should be cheaper per pound then the same product in non-bulk amount? I once heard a story about McDonalds, the medium fries are 99 cents, the regular cheeseburger is 99 cents, the medium soda is 99 cents. That equals 2.97$ but the combo meal of those items cost 2.99$. That difference may only be two little cents off the fact that america failed elementary math but multiply that by the millions of people that order that combo meal in a day. I am only doing the math in my head, I estimate it to be between a shit load and a crap load of money. Same goes for gas, look closely at the price. It is not 3.64$, it is 3.64 and nine tenths. Nine tenths of a cent multiplied by the ten to thirty gallons you put into your vehicle every week multiplied by the 254.4 million registered vehicles in the US.... is alot of fracking money.

Let me ask you this, Diary, when did you last use nine tenths of a cent?
