They're out for blood now

Seriously, people can just go cram it with chestnuts. Preferably roasted on an open fire first.

The chestnuts or the people?

During my road warrior days in corp IT (as in booking flights at 3 or 4pm for 5 AM the next day) I used to always keep a gym type bag (always did carry on) packed with a couple of days change of clothes (socks, underware, shirts, pants, etc.) and a small drawstring bag with few essential basic bathroom type things and a loud travel alarm. did not feel like packing/unpacking EVERY single I had to fly out after the local Moe, Larry, and Curly outside techs screwed up another machine.

the travel size stuff was great for this. if I DID run out of anything on a trip I could always use the small stuff the hotels provided and sub in bottles or tubes or bars of soap.

Even when traveling with checked bags I keep travel toiletries and 2 days of clothes in my carry-on. You never know when your bag is going to go missing or tossed around enough for the full bottles to explode (yes this happened, and yes all the stuff was in a plastic bag but it still leaked and got shampoo into everything). I'd rather err on the side of caution.

The chestnuts or the people?

Yes.

I seriously don't understand the point of those "travel-size" personal hygeine items. Those travel-size things are just a waste of money.

The travel sizes are great for people who are going on long backpacking or camping trips, because weight and space are so important to keep track of (when you are carrying it on your back, you keep track of every ounce and cubic centimeter).

The chestnuts or the people?

Both

You see, she's been watching it for an entire year already, waiting to see if the price will go lower than the $69.99 sale price we usually sell it for, and it's never gone any lower, and instead of going elsewhere to buy a breadmaker she's going to stand in my store and yell at me about it.

The absurdity of that one makes my brain ache.

Somehow it is the store's fault that either the product's manufacturer/distributer charges the store so much to sell the product that the store cannot lower the price below what it currently is and still make back its costs OR the product sells so well at its current price that the store has no incentive to put it on sale.

Basic economics/business, lady.

Every year I wait for the Porsche 911 to go on sale for $500, but that don't happen either.
