This is completely non chicken or other poultry related but I need to vent for a bit.
First issue was today at work. I was summoned to a meeting with the big boss and my sort of immediate supervisor. There were two other workers also summoned. One at a time we were questioned about an incident from almost two weeks ago. I felt like I was in an episode of Law and Order being interrogated as the main suspect for a triple homicide. What happened isn't important but it boiled down to I should have reported it the minute I found out about it (Friday afternoon) and not wait until first thing Monday morning. Yet my actual immediate supervisor wasn't in the day it happened and the only other supervisor I was comfortable going to was also off. So I waited. And the other two employees including the one who reported the concern to me also waited. None of us felt that there was any danger to life and limb and that the incident could wait. So now there are three employees who feel that they were criticized for bringing up a concern all because we chose to bypass one supervisor. Who knows maybe the big boss actually picked up on the fact that the three of us have issues with this one supervisor that goes way beyond this one incident. Of course my coming out and telling him exactly how I feel about interacting with this supervisor should also be a huge clue. The hardest part was that the supervisor I have issues with was the other person in the room.
Second issue was at Hannaford's this afternoon. I had three items and was all set to go through the self checkout. Both registers were occupied. One with a lady who had a cart full of stuff. The other register had a lady who was done scanning and was getting ready to pay. Great I thought. She should be done in a minute. Nope. For her $10 purchase she paid with dimes and nickels. After she inserted each coin in the slot she checked to see how much more see needed then dug through her ziplock baggie of change to get the next coin. After a few minutes there was a break in a regular checkout line so I was able to finally purchase my items. I know the coins were probably the only thing she had for money but there is also a bank inside the store that will exchange the coins for paper money for free.

What is it with Hannaford today? My mother had someone go off on her, complete with following her through the store and requiring a manager to be called while checking out. All because she looked in her direction while trying to find something.
