Mild Greed Alert
The penny items of the week are protractors and compasses. Through out this entire back to school season, I have rung out maybe 3 or 4 compassess and protractors. Today however, they were the big ticket item. I realize...they are only a penny but...are you going to tell me that: your family of 5 with the oldest child being no more than 8 years old needs 10 protractors and compasses?
I don't understand that mentality: "It's only a penny so let's buy it! It's a good deal!". That's fantastic, really, that you are able to get a protractor and a compass for a penny each. But do you really need a stock pile of them? I guess it's a mind set. I buy what I need when I need it. I don't buy things I don't see myself needing at any point in the discernible future just because it's cheap and on sale.
On a related topic. I can almost guarantee that the same people who bitch about us having a limit on items would be the same people to pitch a hissy if they were to come in and we would be out. I am always tempted to tell people that the limits are in place so more people can be sure to purchase the products.
Also Teachers...stop being so needlessly anal. Requiring your students (for example) get a purple three subject wide ruled notebook with no perforation and a purple "vinyl" folder and other shit is a tad unreasonable. Forcing organization on your students is a noble idea but an ultimately futile one. And so long as your students have a folder and a notebook isn't that enough? Something to ensure they can take notes and hold papers? The basics?
Yesterday Brittany told a customer she absolutely refused to take AP English in High School because it was too much reading. Despite earlier in the conversation confessing to loving to read and almost never being able to stop. Today she told a customer how she indeed had taken AP English and she was reading those books so much that she had wished she had bought extra-strength book covers. I realize she goes back on her stories all the time...but it is too much to expect you let one lie stand as "truth" for at least 24 hours?
