"Unexpected item in bagging area" was a common misery for everyone in London in 2012. Don't know if it's improved there since.

In NL they now do 'random checks' of 10 items, which is basically 'you having to unpack all your shopping' and pack again so they can check if you stole.

The concept of self checkout is ridiculous, making you an unpaid employee and then blaming you for mistakes. It tries to solve the owner's stinginess for not hiring more staff. It's not there to help you, it's there to suppress employees.

No, that's 'indivisible". "Invisible" means more than anyone could count.

1.3L "family size"... Family size what? Pool?

Pretty sure it was the chat of Eric Hansen who insinuated it first.

The specific wording of the note is a direct reference to Kafka's metamorphosis! So depending on the class and year, teacher should be proud.

2 arms and 2 legs is the median, so 4. I doubt the average will be less than 2.

Dont think less than 2 on average is theoretically possible if the median is 4!

The lack of triple A status seems to indicate the debt is most definitely not risk-free.

We are not homo erectus though. So that's a rather silly comparison.

People haven't survived millions of years.
