It's a perk of shopping at Publix and paying slightly higher prices than at, say, Walmart.

Our son was a ****** and carter at a higher-end grocery store in MI in high school--D&W. It made for a nice after-school job for him.

******, ******, ******, ******... just trying to see if it will get bleeped again.

CFrance 02-23-2013 09:26 AM
Admin, why is this word for a person who bags groceries, i.e., grocery ******, being bleeped?

Skybo 02-23-2013 09:27 AM
This is only a guess, but I suspect it is censored out due to a vulgar term that starts with "tea". Could be wrong though.

I go to Publix purposely to have my groceries taken out as I had major surgery on both my feet this summer and can not lift more than 10 lbs. for 6 more months. I no longer wear a cast or have a limp, there is no visible signs that I am nothing more than a "perfectly capable person". I feel it is wrong to judge a person by their looks only. You don't know what type of medical restrictions a person may be under. In my case, it was serious feet issues. However, it could be heart related or other issues you can not detect. Please don't judge by appearance alone. Thank you.
Why do people continue to use a handicapped sticker that was originally issued to them 10 years ago when they had a knee replacement.

Why can't someone post without it being intimated that they are attacking the perfect Nirvana of the the Villages and its (selected) people?
Why when someone posts negative about The Villages they make it all inclusive when in fact negative old farts only make up about 2 or 3 percent of the total in this PERFECT NIRVANA of The Villages. You have to look hard for someone like that here. The vast Majority are perfect.

I think Publix offers a fabulous carry-out service, very personable. I'll bet they get a lot of customers for that reason! Just because people look perfectly capable to you, that doesn't mean they are! And as Villages 07 said, many of the carry-out staff welcome the opportunity to step outside and chat with customers.

Why do some folks cover their mailboxes with stickers (graffiti)? It is sloppy, and I cannot believe that most people are unable to find their own mailbox each day.
We've already done the mailbox/sticker issue with a huge number of excellent comments. Since most of us probably spend less than two minutes a day at the Postal Station, I don't see stickers as being majorly offensive.

Now, why can you say FART and you can't say ******?

I've been known to say worse than ******, Gracie!

billethkid 02-23-2013 01:12 PM
Because fart is not subject to interpretation or vulgar intended or not.

Farts are natural and in most cases funny.....never vulgar.
