lines are so long, y not open more register's

Do you really need that stick of gum?

The longer you to wait in line for cigarettes, the longer it'll be
until you kill yourself with them.

This of this as a FAVOR.

Back of the envelope calculations here...

Suppose you smoke one pack every 1.5 days or 36 hours.

Assuming (to avoid having to use complex math -- I want to only use
7th grade math here for you, Sandy) that you buy cigarettes on the 36
hour mark (without regard for the time of day), this means that in 1
year (8760 hours), you'll buy about 243 packs of cancer sticks.

Suppose that you had to wait in line for a hour, increasing your
pack-to-pack time frame to 37 hours. This would reduce you yearly
intake of coffin nails to about 236 packs. That's a reduction of
about 3%.

3% more time to spend with your kids and enjoying God's good earth.

Now.. I worked at a Walgreen's... theres one main cashier.. one
employee in cosmetics.. usually one person for backup.. and a photo
tech. and an assistant manager on duty for the front end. The pharmacy
is pretty much on its own. WHY should they give YOU a "cerifikit"for
waiting in line? Gosh that was hard to spell even with looking right
at it. Just for this letter.. Go to Walmart and go to their "speedy
checkout" lanes.. I bet you'll be standing there for 20 minutes.

man you guys are cranky, i can spell and use puncuation, but as long
as the mesage gets to Walgreen's i don't care what you think

yuwaant a certifkit? y nut axt fur ten or twunty dullar's den? heres
thought - y nut pixup ur stock of gom wit oder shoping nextime
walgreen's?

This has got to be a troll.

PFB: Where the English language goes to die.

I have a sneaky suspicion Sandy is a lot more savvy than people are
giving her credit for...but I'm sure she knows that even though this
got her to the top twenty...it's not going to get her anywhere in her
attempt to get more lines open or gift certificates for waiting in
line.

In Michigan if you have to wait in line for more than 5 minutes and
complain to a manager they shoot you.

Where else did I see Sandy P ask for a certifikit? Hmmm..... Gimme
gimme!! Get a job..

I don't know if it is different in other places, but in Ohio, there
are only typically 2 in the ENTIRE store (There might be a register at
the fragrance counter, but I rarely see anyone over there). So how
can they open more registers than that?

& where is your WalGreen's that it is SO busy? Even the one that is a
block from our local hospital isn't THAT busy!

No offense Sandy, but the whole concept of asking for a $5 gift
certificate if you have to wait more than 5 minutes is kind of silly.

Sandy are you related to dickie H.????

...understand that Sandy has only a 7th grade education (and, at that,
it might not have been the best). She dropped out of school because
she was pregnant (if it was 7th grade, I'm assuming 12 or 13 years
old).

But for the grace of God, go I...

Hmm, that's interesting. Can you think of any other stores that offer
customers money for waiting in line?

If you could give some other examples of stores where they've had
success with that sort of deal, it would make your suggestion a lot
better.

Hey all - don't miss the forest for the trees.

Sandy:

You're right. No one likes waiting in line. Certain stores I
frequent have a policy that if there are more than X number of people
in line, they will open another register. I don't know if Walgreens
is one of them. Maybe you could suggest this to the manager next time
you're there.

I don't know what times you shop, but if it's during a shift change or
the busiest part of the day, you may experience longer lines. Perhaps
you should try other times, maybe that will help with the wait time.

Finally, it has not escaped my noticed that your writing skills are
not as developed as they could be. It may be that you are able to get
your point across better through face to face interaction or via
telephone.

Good luck, Sandy.

"HUMUNGIOUS"

I checked Dictionary.com

i really was curious to see if it was a real word...
Rest assured folks, It's not

This is a joke. The only people who would ever think that this letter
was acceptable are 3 years old.

This has to be an attempt to irritate the posters and get everyone all
riled up. It has everything that is hated on this site from poor
grammer, spelling, and form to...what's that
word....goobersmooching??

Okay, I "REALY" hate when people are illiterate.

You aren't texting your friends to see what's going on after
cheerleading practice. You are supposed to be writing a professional
letter.

Will you buy many sgticks of gum with your $5 gift cerifikit?

I think it would be a good idea to get someone to help you when you
want to write a letter.

It's horrible.

thanks for the help but this darn thing doenst have a spelchecker just
the same the Walgreen's is so slow!

just utterly sad.

Okay, Sandy, I don't normally do this, but you've annoyed me.

Here is how your letter would look had you used proper capitalization,
punctuation, and spelling. Asterisks will show you where you went
wrong.

"*Hi* there*.* *Okay**,* *I* really hate that* *the *W*algreen's I go
*[to]* always has such a *long* line*.* *I*t seriously takes me
sometimes more than 10 minutes to buy a *stick* of gum!

*O*pen more registers* and if we have to wait more than 5 minutes*,*
give us a $5 gift *certificate.*"

Unfortunately, all the asterisks in the world won't make your request
for a gift certificate any less idiotic.

Give up the computer and go back to school. Eighth grade might be a
good place to start.

Give it up, Sandy.
