I am glad that retailers have backed off the craziness of being open on Thanksgiving or at midnight for Black Friday.
Ive always said the ones (corporate) who makes or made the decisions to be open on Thanksgiving or midnight on Black Friday should put their decisions into footprints. They should be coming into work, working the floor and not staying at home, relaxing, feasting with their families and friends.

So who will fire their head coach first the Wild Vikings or Gopher football?
Aloha!
It should be the Wild. I see no reason to fire the other two. At all.
Oakland just got a baseball team
Aloha!

Exactly what I'm asking - I don't get why they exist in the first place since the ones I'm referring don't have any activity of any kind.

Winner... hard to belive how well the Wild played the last two games. Must have been a pretty tough atmosphere around that group. I've heard a lot from the GM this week, but not once have I heard him talk through him ripping the team while in Sweden and reflecting on it.
Notice more and more fire hydrants in the southern suburbs being covered in plastic bags. Must have had some hydrants rust out cause of all the salt on the roads.

I think it's more to keep the salt crust off the bolts/threads, but yes, that's becoming really common
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

Hickory has a full student section and a full band yet they can only scrape together 6-7 guys to come out for its hoops team? I'm starting to think the whole Indiana basketball thing is contrived.

Who needs more than 6-7 players when you have Jimmy Chitwood and especially Ollie leading your team to the State Finals.

I use Holiday gas stations to fill up for gas why is it now required to prepay before filling up my car for gas?
Aloha!
Too many people driving away without paying. I'm wondering where you're at that this is just now changing, though. Everything by me has been this way for years, holiday included.I use Holiday gas stations to fill up for gas why is it now required to prepay before filling up my car for gas?

Just a guess, but I would say it's due to a rash of people driving off without paying. I use pay-at-the-pump almost exclusively, so I couldn't tell you exactly when it happened, but every Kwik Trip I've been to in the past year has been pre-pay/patp.

I am in the west metro Golden Valley area I am lucky and do not drive to much since my employer is in my back yard, I put about 60 miles a week driving to work.The gas stations in my area just started pre pay for gas on November 21 2023. I had to guess how much I wanted to pre pay

I've been prepaying at the pump at both Kwik Trip and SA for several years. I didn't know that gas stations even had that option for paying inside after filling for the last couple years.

Ditto for the Holiday by my place. Drives me nuts. I hate pre-pay. It doesn't help that Holiday/Speedway/SuperAmerica/Circle K (IIRC) are all the same company. Kwik Trip switched to prepay a long time ago.

Sliced bread is the greatest thing since prepay at the pump.
If I have to go in it never fails get stuck behind some idiot paying with nickels and dimes or the moron who wants to check 27 lottery tickets for winners so he can put $3.67 into his ‘78 Chevette. Spoiler alert: You didn’t win.

Who doesn’t use a credit card and just pay at the pump these days?! (Yeah I’m old and even I do that). ?

Agree on the lotto tix.
But, I usually have something else to buy, so I'm going inside anyway: newspaper (shuddup), Monster drinks, smokes, maybe a snack. And then guessing how much gas you need? Ugh.
On top of that, they have cameras. During the COVID shutdown, I loaded up on Monster/smokes/and filled up (supply chain fears, sorta). Clerk didn't ring me up for gas, even when notified I filled up. I got a bill within a week, with photo proof. No worries, I paid up, clerk made a mistake. So this "running off w/o getting paid" is BS. They'll get you.

It’s really not hard to pay at the pump and then make a second transaction for what you need inside. Modern technology and stuff. ?♀️

It's not hard, but it's NOT EFFICIENT. 2 "purchases"? I hate that, absolutely hate it.

Newspapers are great - for my bird to poop on! ?
During the bulk of the pandemic I was the evening manager at our store. I can't even hazard a guess at how many "drive off" reports I had to authorize and submit to corporate loss prevention, from my gas station/convenience store cashiers. To be honest, I'm stunned that gas stations still allow "You're good to go on pump 6. We'll see you to pay inside".

I love paying at the pump. I HATE the receipt not printing and having to go inside to then get one. If we have the wifes vehicle, it doesn't matter, but for my truck I need it for tax purposes. I would say it is about a 50% chance that the receipt actually prints out.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
There is actually one FULL service gas station in Mankato yet, Hank's on North Riverfront. He stays pretty busy actually.
I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!
I bought a discount card with 10 'coupons' for some sport at Apple Valley HS. One discount was for 7 cents/gallon off at Holiday stations, unlimited uses, but pay inside. I never go in to pay, but for this I had to. I did it a couple times and found it was easier than I thought. Last week I stopped there for gas and was trying to start pumping, then a loud voice came over the loudspeaker--"WE ARE NOW PREPAY ONLY!" Well now...

I think full service is required in OR and NJ. It's a weird feeling to just sit there as they pump gas for you.
It was also required in Northern Ireland, at least at the one station I stopped in near Derry. They speak "English" in that part of Northern Ireland in name only. It's so bad even Scottish people have no idea what the hell they are saying. So I get out to pump some gas and this guy comes running up yelling at me and until he took the gas hose away from I had no idea WTF he was talking about.

I remember the gas station where Bobby & Steve's Autoworld in Mpls. is at now was full service. Also, so couple years ago, a gas station on Chester, Mt. was still full service.
