I watched it Vic, And I totally understand your point, My Grandson is Autistic so I understand .
Would your family be interested in programs such as ours? Might your grandson want to play baseball in a setting where he won't be judged and cannot lose?

There are hundreds of programs like ours across the country. Our diamond is in Southfield. We hope to have a new diamond in (I think) Independence Township by this summer. There are also programs in Plymouth, Rockford, near Lansing, and in Bridgeport. I can put you in contact with the people who run these programs if you like.
Not currently, The Wife and Myself are in the process of selling all of our businesses so she can retire at the young age of 48, So we will be busy for the next 6 months, But when we’re ready we’ll let you know. And of course Thanks Brother.

At my wife's insistence, we went back to Walmart today. All checkout lanes were open. Looks like my guerrilla warfare tactics are paying off. Ten people worked today, instead of sitting at home.

Next up, Home Depot.

Was in the Troy Walmart on Maple Rd a week ago.

Story wasn't very busy. It was reasonably clean. Decent number of checkouts open. So far, so good...right? Not so fast! LOL

First check out I go to: creepy old lady holding a kleenex in one hand then cracks open a bottle of Bayer aspirin in the other hand and begins digging through it while whispering something to the cashier inaudibly. Of note, she had NO items she appeared to be purchasing.

Second check out I go to: takes cashier a million years to ring up an item that wouldn't scan properly (this was for the customer in line ahead of me). Then, for my purchase, she stares at one of my items with a puzzled look and questions the price it rang up at. She thought the price was too high; I had to reassure her the item rang up at the correct price.

I'm done with that store for a while. Only time I'll go back is if I need printer ink or HDMI cables.

Another of your dillusions. Must be the drugs.

I've never in my life been within 200 miles of Niceville.

Delusions*

He was talking about your local one, not Niceville.

Also, to get from CA to your city in FL, you have to pass within 200 miles. Lol :p

I think you're taking too much credit. Your particular action likely has no connection to the number of staffed checkout lanes at Walmart. Did you do what you did to actually effect a change in store policy or merely to make yourself feel important by thinking you championed the change?

Do you honestly think store management held a meeting and said "crap....somebody melted a bunch of ice cream....it's obviously a protest against the self-checkout lanes....we'd better do something about that!"?

Big stretch!
