Kroger Supermarkets Cuts Average Check-Out Lane Wait Time to 26 Seconds

Jon Prell — Fri, 03 May 2013 01:00:22 +0000

Not to call anybody out here, but you know how long it takes to check-out at Wal-Mart and some grocery stores in general. Wal-Mart always seems to only ,literally, have just a few lanes open at peak traffic times and it can be absolutely exasperating. Kroger Supermarkets has solved that problem with infrared cameras -- the same cameras used for tracking people by law enforcement and the military.

Whoa! here we go and you knew this was bound to happen at some point. The economy is tight, so tight in fact, that one store will now charge you five bucks if you don’t buy anything. A specialty food store in Australia is charging a $5 ‘browsing’ fee that will be applied to any [...]

St.Patty's Day Cinnamon Rolls Are the Bomb

Leslie Morgan — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 09:05:12 +0000

On a Saturday morning, there is nothing that my kids like to wake up more to than the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. I have to admit, I usually just bake the can of ‘Grands.’ Never have I attempted to make them from scratch. But with ingredients like Bailey’s, Jameson and Guinness, I’m about [...]

Did You Know Wal-Mart Offers a Complete Line of Caskets?

Jon Prell — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 03:00:51 +0000

Wal-Mart has just about everything: I think it might be the only place you can get groceries while getting your oil changed, and then get a haircut as well as your taxes - all under one roof. Let's say you are in the market for an engagement ring and just can't afford a high-end jewelery store - Wal-Mart might be a great alternative, but that doesn't necessarily apply to everything.
