Me spending 20 minutes filling my 5 gal jug":

"hey the water dispenser is not working, it just got slow all of a sudden"

Register lady "yeah the motor"

Me starting to be puzzled "could you put a sign so people don't get stuck in a 'do I dump my gallon worth of water on the floor' situation"

Powerful Register lady "yeah its the motor"

Me doing all the math "I know that, I said why not put a sign up saying its broken then"

Victim register lady "its my boss, she has to" ....signals the boss.

Boss "yeah the motor"

Me thinking what are the odds: "yeah, but if you have a sign then no one would waste time"

Bestest Boss (starting to nod no as if I asked her to believe in christ): "I could have charged you the 1 gal if it broke on you"....... starts to look away.

Me thinking... Dare I go back in time to tell old me that time travel is easier then writing on a piece of paper out of order. "Just put a sign" (this was said trying to not think)

Well... Thats my truth. In what world is "make a sign for 'out of order'" so I dont waste 20 minutes because I didnt want to chuck 1 gallon of water on the floor. Or was I supposed to have some kind of premonition that they knew it was broken and didnt put a sign up, and THEN feign or (insert derogatory term) ignorance that writing a "out of order" sign is way to complicated.

Today I learned broken water dispenser = a impossible task in which writing on a sign 'out of order" and then present a look like (being lost like a 1000 children) and then saying " the motor is broken. Great service ;)

This is all to say just post a sign or listen or care or..... wonder what other broken or spoiled things could be there. I mean if something is known yet not reported to the customer thats pretty messed up. Or...

Having recently undergone large renovations, this place is now a bona fide supermarket. They have a rather large produce section which includes some relatively obscure fruits and vegetables, as well as a deli which is impressive for such a small store.

In the back are plastic, aluminum, and glass recycling machines for bottles and cans (though they aren't very reliable), as well as some pretty hi-tech equipment you'd find in larger chain stores (deep freezers and such). In the front of the store is an ATM and a coin cashing machine, near a decent selection of dog food bags and grilling charcoal.

One entire wing of the store is dedicated to typical groceries like eggs, milk, cheese, and other refrigerated goods, and the entire center of the store has almost anything you'd expect from a supermarket, including baking ingredients, canned goods, pet supplies, greeting cards, children's toys, and even more unique products like power tools.

As expected, the prices aren't as wallet-friendly as larger stores, but if you haven't got the time to go anywhere else, this conveniently-placed Family Fare Supermarket has a high chance of having everything you'll need at a...

Ordered a cake for my brothers 60th birthday. a simple 1/4 sheet cake white with white frosting with the usual "Happy 60th birthday (his name)" with blue and yellow trim and flowers. Picked it up and it was a 1/4 sheet cake with YELLOW frosting and not very well colored as there were parts that were white, yellow, and lighter yellow, the flowers and writing were in I guess blue but looked more black than anything and the writing was not done very well at all. Basically the cake was ugly and not what I wanted at all. I guess I need to take some of the blame as I ordered it Friday morning to be picked up Saturday (today) as his party was today. The top of the cake had anywhere from little icing to almost 1/2 inch of icing in the center. I'll NEVER order another cake. Staff I might add was not very pleasant as well, nor were they when I ordered the cake. Truly disappointed in my hometown store but it is what I have come to expect, the quality and care is just not...
