Ticked off! @bumpy roads

I ride a motorbike around Central Florida regularly. I am noticing many of the roadways have deteriorated like the roads do in Michigan or Chicago, even otherwise smooth streets. What has happened? Why are the roads getting so many ruts and holes? Many roads look as though chunks of the road surface have been peeled off about an inch deep, which is especially rough on motorbikes.

To the major friedchicken chain that offered me a gift card when I had an issue at one of their locations. Thank you. Then they took back the offer because the gift card only worked at company locations and they offered me points on my nonexistent loyalty account, which doesn’t exist because I don’t have a smartphone. Now this huge company can’t figure out how to compensate me. I can’t be the only person in the world who doesn’t have a smartphone.

To the customer in line [Friday] morning at Walgreens: I am sorry if I got impatient behind you, but it is not the pharmacist’s job to guide you through setting up your online account on your phone right at that very moment so that you could shop the discounts in the store! Today’s pharmacists are stressed to the max with their real job, and stores are short-staffed as is! Please, next time, find the manager or call the 800 number on your card!

I am really ticked off and saddened that people (or companies) can spend $5.5 billion to build the SoFi stadium while we have huge numbers of people who have no place to stay and no food and no health care. We are indifferent to what should be our No. 1 priorities.

It is seldom that shoes come in wide or narrow widths. This is not a case of one size fits all. Most are “medium,” whatever that means. (I consider small, medium and large the most inaccurate words in the language for most products, especially clothing.) Shoe width is especially important for people suffering foot problems or post-surgical conditions, let alone the general public.
