Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
You heard the man Bernie Frattle Show, No, the Ben
Mallor Show. Caeve's rolling right along. My name is Bernie
Fraddawar Counedy live from THEE Tarrac dot com studios here
in Las Vegas, Nevada, Fox Sports Radio tyrack dot com.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We'll help you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping for your
own Hazer protection in over ten thousand recommended installers tyrack
dot com. The way tire buying should be well one
bit of business and an item that has been a
rampant on The Ben Mallor Show of recent times has
been the phenomenon of leaving your shopping cart out in
(00:37):
the parking lot at our grocery store. And we've broken
it down. Even I got to participate in that Thursday
six Ways from Tuesday. Lots of good input even callers
eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six six three six nine. I'm guessing
we're gonna get some calls on this upcoming subject. That's
the tip of the iceberg when it comes to supermarket foils.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
But first, the Mallord Crack.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Research team, Justin Cooper has an update on our earlier discussion,
we were talking about how hot those wings were in England,
two point two million Schoolville units versus you know, two
hundred times hotter than a regular Halopeni union. Well, Coop
Coop has actually had the hottest hot wings at Buffalo
(01:20):
Wild Wings and it weighed in coop fills it.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Three hundred and fifty thousand Scoville units.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So that's how many Schoolville units.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
The hot wings were at Buffalo Wild Wings and they were.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Pretty damn hot, right Coop? By your by your description.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yes, it says it's sixty times hotter than Halopeno peppers.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And so this now is seven times hotter than the
Schoolville unit ones they have at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
This, this is a lot of big words salad from me.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
How many wings did you have at bw's the blazing Yeah,
the blazing ones.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I had a bite of one.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So one byte of one and to steal with England
you got to eat fifteen of them.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And it's seven times hotter than what you add Can
you even remotely imagine what seven times hotter would be
than what you had at BW three's. Can you verbalize
what that must be?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Like?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I can imagine that whatever however bad it is, it's
probably even worse later on.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Could you envision now to see somebody dying, but just
the shock of the eat and just that's going to
reside in your stomach there, and then you know you
got the exit strategy you got probably a few hours later.
And if you've crutched fifteen of those things, you know
that could be some real pain. I'm guessing yes, all right, Coop,
good research that gives us some perspective. So if anybody's
had those at BW three's this deal in England seven
(02:45):
times hotter than those seven times hotter? Well tell you
what's hot in here. I'm not talking about Nelly. So
the topic apparently recently on the Ben Malor Show has
to do with carts, leaving your shopping cart and the
parking In case anybody who was on Mars or missed it, Eddie,
could you just maybe take a second to bring people
up to snuff where Ben.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Waiting on this? All right, So we'll come to that
back in a minute.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But it turns out that just simply leaving your cart
in the parking lot at a grocery store is merely
the tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
One of many things that people like you and me.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And Grandma and Uncle John and all the folks that
we go to the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Everybody goes to the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well, apparently we're doing things that completely drive the supermarket
staff nuts. The first one is, all right, Lorena, tell
me if you've ever done this. You're in the checkout line,
you're checking out, all of a sudden you realize, oh damn,
I forgot the pickles. You gotta run back to the
(03:52):
aisle to find the pickles. Well, the people that are
lining up behind you have to wait, and you just
go do it.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Anyway. Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I have done that, Bernie, And I haven't only done that.
I've like gotten up to the.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Front and I've been like, oh my gosh, I couldn't
find this specific item. And then the guy who's checking
out my stuff will go, hold on a minute.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I will run to the aisle.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
For you and get it, which holds up the line
even more. Well, at least if I go run and
get it, he can continue to scan things.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But yep, So that dirty little secret like you're telling
about certain people unnam dropping hamburgers on the floor inadvertently
if someone pisses off the food server apparently very secretly
supermarket employees, and by the way, if you happen to
be one of our fine supermarket you know employees, you know,
giving your effort to a grateful nation as we check out,
(04:47):
feel free to weigh in on this eight seven, seven,
nine and nine of Fox.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And one of these things to piss you u.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Apparently this survey showed that eighty percent of shoppers consider
it rude. Have I done it? Yeah, I haven't done
it a while, but I actually have done it. I
saw something on an end cap, I ran back to
get it. If you could just leave the line, coop thoughts,
have you ever left the check outline to grab another item.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
That you forgot?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'll usually, like, if if we forgot it, I'll like
my wife will stay in the aisle or like in
the checkout line, and I'll run and go get it.
But also I feel like most of the time you
get up to the checkout and they go do you
you know, were you able to find everything today? They
ask you that I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You see, this is why we have these discussions, and
they probably they probably don't even mean it right, But
the bottom line is, well, maybe they do mean I
don't know, but apparently this really sets off workers, and
it really sets off you know, to.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It sets off of people. Obviously sets off people in
line before you.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And eighty percent of people of the respondents have said
that they don't like it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is any back with us. Hello, so Eddie, we're we're
going over.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
The supermarket foibles. Leaving the cart in the aisle is
just the tip of the iceberg, or leaving the cart
in the parking lot. Apparently one of the many things
that piss off supermarket employees is while you're in the
checkout line and you realize you forgot something, so you
leave the line ever so quickly to go back and
grab that item, when people in behind you wait, have
you ever done that?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I have not done that. I have realized while I'm
in line that I've forgotten something, and I will go
run and get it. But I'm not like up to
the front of the line yet, I'm still waiting in line,
and if there's people behind me, I will say I'm
just gonna go run grab something real quick, and you know,
usually they're like, yeah, okay, and so yeah, I've done
(06:41):
that before. I have forgotten things, and as soon as
I'm done paying, remember, oh I forgot that, then I
go put my stuff away and go back and get it.
But now I've never done it where I'm actually like
ready to pay, and then I'm like, oh, I forgot something,
and I just think that's rude. I would go ahead
and wrap it up and then go back, can get
it later, wait in line again.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And eighty percent of the respondents in the survey I
also said it was rude. Have you ever been in
line when someone in front of you has done that?
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Yes, Also, they'll get up there and then they'll ask
them like, where is this I couldn't find it, kind
of like what Coop was saying in a way, and
then make them either go get it or make or
have them call someone to go get it. And I
think that's really annoying too. I'm not a fan of that.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Sure, sure, maybe they shouldn't make it so hard to
find stuff in all the aisles, you know what I
mean I say.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
I mean we've talked about, like, you know, having people
that bag your groceries or do the shopping carts. Obviously,
you know, at least the places I shop. Seems like
they cut back on the on that right, they don't
have those people anymore because it probably budget cuts or whatever.
But it would probably help if there were people in
the store. You could ask while you're going up and
(07:52):
down the aisles occasionally, hey, where is this at? Because
I have a hard time finding people that are doing
that too. It just seems like they have like a
skeleton crew of people that are work in those places now.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Also, why can I never find Rosemary like?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, for those of us in the younger generation, most supermarkets, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
But it's me too, keep going.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Most supermarkets these days have an app right like Vaughn's
and whatever it is that you are searching for, you
can type into the app and it'll tell you exactly
what I.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Tell you the aisle numbers stop. I just downloaded that
you for me app the other day. Oh my gosh,
I canna say five dollars on my bacon? Bacon's expensive.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Yeah, I need to be educated on this apparently. I know,
like when I go to home Depot, I can do that,
but they have it for the grocery store too.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'm so glad you brought this up. I hate to
break up the party.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And I live here in Las Vegas, and I shop
at a beautiful Albertsons that worked until they decided to
rearrange your store one day, not.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Making it up, not making it up. Oh, here's the
ketchup Aisle seven you got on our seven. Theys rearrange
a whole damn store.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Now it's ice cream.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Something like that, which leads me to the second foible
that really pisses supermarket people off. Let's pretend you're trapsing
up and down the aisles and you put an item
in your cart, and for whatever reason, you get seven
aisles away and you realize I don't need that item anymore.
I don't want that item. Are you gonna go back
(09:28):
up and down each child to find out exactly where
you got that item? Are you just gonna politely set
it down and traps away?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Help nobody notices. I hate to admit it, I've done that.
I've got a few dirty looks.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, those are my peaches on the top of the
pens oil. What are you gonna do about a pal?
I can't lie, can't lie, I've done it. Have any
of you folks ever done what I just said?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
When I'm at the checkout. I will tell the cashier
I don't need this and hit to them, because then
they'll have somebody go put it back where it belongs.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So Coop, you're like the model shopper. You're in line,
you'll have your wife go back and put the item back,
or even if you have a situation, get the out
of you forgot. I don't like to do that. I
haven't done it in a while. You know, I've grown
up in my day, but I've done it. But apparently
ninety percent of respondence hate this. Have you ever had
that situation? Netty, You're going up and down an aisle,
(10:22):
you put an item in your cart five holes later.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I don't need it, I don't want it. I can't.
I don't have time to go back and find out
where actually got it.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Yeah, I usually go back and put it where it is.
I remember where I get the stuff from. I'll go back.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And you were such a good citizen.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You guys are amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I guess, Oh my gosh, I'm so bad.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I was at Target yesterday trying to shop for my
daughter to get her some bathing suits because she wants
to have a pool party before the end of school,
and I pick out four different bathing suits, and we
head back to the fitting room, where they're closed for
sanitary reasons. Right, So I go on the side. I'm like,
we'll test. They want to start over your pants? No,
and I'm like, okay, well, then let's figure out what
(11:02):
we're not taking.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
And guess what.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Everything we decided not to take I left right there
on the rack where they do not belong. Yeah, and
you know what, I don't feel bad about it either,
because I had to buy all those bathing suits out right,
take them home, have her try them on, spend sixty bucks,
and then take them back and none of.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Them fit, so they can put away my clothes.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Okay. Do you remember when they closed fitting rooms during
the pandemic?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Is that it says it's from the pandemic. How are
they still closed?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Really?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
If you're serving me Starbucks, you can let me change
in the dressing room.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Sorry, obviously, I'm distraught.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Don't stop now, man, We're on a roll. Don't slow
your role, speed up your role.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Honestly, I was gonna go back today because one of
the sweaters I put back, I was like, that was
really soft.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Maybe maybe I do so advances beyond the grocery store
food culin area items to close.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But here's here's item number.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Three, and I I'm just gonna out myself right now.
I'm terribly guilty of doing this. And I'll tell you why.
How about the folks who buy food, They put it
in their cart and they can't wait till they check out.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
They start matching.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, maybe you buy a bag of potato chips and
you're staring at it.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You go up and down the ounds and.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Go, oh, I gotta have one, I gotta have seven,
I gotta have not so or I box. I boxed
at a gym that was right across the street from Evan's,
and I could walk out of there all sweaty and tired,
and I need salt and crunch. I'd walk into the
store and get a few groceries, and I would.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Have people looking at me, not not all of them,
most don't care, but every now.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And then you'd get that dirty look, you know, like you,
you know, farted in their presence or something.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
But I did it. I hate to say it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
This is one that pisses off not only eighty percent
of employees, pisses off eighty percent of other fellow grocery shoppers.
Have you ever gone to the store and started knocking
on the stuff you bought? Not that you're not gonna
pay for it, you're not stealing it, but you haven't
paid for it yet, and you don't have the the
willpower or the patience to not wait till you get
outside to start eating it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yea, have you ever done that?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
I've never done that. And I am someone who enjoys
their snacks quite a bit. Certainly, I'll do it in
the car on the on the ride home sometimes, but
especially like potato chips because I'm like addicted to that.
But no, I've never done that in the store. I've
seen other people do that. I've even seen people like
you know, eat like grapes and stuff, and I'm like, oh,
(13:26):
aren't they supposed to aren't they supposed to weigh those
like that? Other that term in the price? I think
that's uh yeah, you kid, that's.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
A horse of a different color. That could be a
that could be illegal in forty eight states. I might
even be a felony if you're the wrong person. Uh Lorena,
I gotta believe you've done this once or twice.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Evil over there, Yeah, because I'm like a do you
so goody two shoes?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I eat grapes as I walk around the store. Yes,
I'm I'm one of those.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
My dad used to walk in and he would grab
a coke and immediately open it and then drink it
as he walked around, and would hand the cashier an
empty bottle at the end.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Okay, So I don't understand you said eighty percent of
workers like don't like this?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Why what's the big deal? How does it change your
job at all? You're still scanning the item. I'm I'm
the same way as le Rena's dad.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I don't open a bag of chips and start eating
them walking around the grocery store. But I will drink
a soda that I bought while I'm shopping.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But you haven't bought it yet.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But I'm going to buy it.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
But people don't, and then they'll shove them back on
the shelf.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is that empty? Is that right? Okay?
Speaker 8 (14:36):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh yeah, So coup raids is a good question. What
the hell do you care if I'm paying for it?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Maybe there are some people that don't, and so they
had They can't make the distinction whether you're one of
the people who pays for it versus one of the
people who don't. I'm just guessing here. I'm spitballing. I'm spitballing.
But it's one of those deals. You know, things just
bug certain people for no reason. They just people find
way to get bugged.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Right. It's a lot of times it's just misplaced anger.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Right, you're having a bad day at work, or somebody
yelled at and you see some guy walking down the
aisle like me notching the potato chip. What's this your
bronie's problem? Can't wait till they get home. Maybe it's
misplaced anger, but it's a thing. It's a thing now,
you know, maybe some grocery stores Lorena should go to
a policy where they weigh you on the way in,
way you on the way out. If you weigh more,
you got to pack. Well that's not the problem. But
(15:26):
then someone's got to buy the scale, which is a
well new set of problems, right.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I mean, if you want to go off that, you
should just go off the honor system.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
But not everyone's honorable. We're not all eddies.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We strive to be, but we're not done yet. We're
not done.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There's a few more I haven't even gotten to the
really really good ones yet that that I think you'll say,
really people do that, Yeah, actually they kind of do,
and we are gonna we are gonna do that. We

Speaker 7 (18:31):
At all Live from the Tirack dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios, It's Bernie Fratto.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
All right, thanks Eddie eight seven, seven, nine to nine
on Fox. If you want to weigh in on this,
we all go to the grocery store. Fortunately, and by
the way, I've saved the best three for last and
we're getting to these. But first we are fortunate to
have a grocery store supermarket professional from Colorado Springs Way
in Rick from Colorado Springs Joints.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Welcome in, Rick, where are you think comet? Thanks?
Speaker 10 (19:01):
I don't know about a professional I've been doing for
almost thirty years.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
But the things you're a professional.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
The thing that a lot of people don't understand is
outside of the shoplifting, the problem is the people walking
around eating food and then just throwing the empty containers
on the shelf. I mean that is, oh yeah, I
found meat containers. Our people will go by, fill up
(19:33):
a box, a bag full of wings, eat the wings
in the store, throw the bones on the shelf, and
don't even pay for it.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh my god, and go ahead, go ahead, finish.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
The shopping cart thing is, it's just a courtesy. I mean,
how would you like to pull up it's raining or
snowing or whatever. You guys don't get that, will you
guys are there, but there's a shopping cart blocking a
parking spot because somebody didn't put it right next to
in the corral, that's right next to where the carvey is.
(20:07):
That's just annoying, you know. So that's much you said.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
All right, very good, Rick, thirty years in the business.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I think you know a thing or two. By the way,
Coop brought that up Thursday night. Good point. It's not just,
you know, kind of rude leaving the shopping cart and
a lot, but you're taking them a parking space. By
the way, King Rory checks in on Twitter as someone
who works in retail, having customers put stuff back on
the shelf where they don't belong doesn't bother me unless
it's a refrigerated or frozen item and they don't put
(20:36):
it back in the fridge or freeze or vice versa.
Now that's one whoa, we got some bad people out there.
Kevin and Florida, you're up next. What are your thoughts
on this whole ordeal?
Speaker 11 (20:49):
Just before COVID, I finished five and a half years
at Winn Dixie, which kind of looks the Piggly wiggly
sure ye. So anyway, and even now, I had by
that time had a scooter accident, which was my transportation.
So since you've got to get to other people, I'll
just focus on the carts, which I know you almost
(21:10):
beat that to death a few days ago. But this
is a funny one. And I used to get mad
because I was I'm sixty five now, and this was
up till about fifty nine and a half when I quit.
But I would get mad, and I went to this evolution.
I'm also in recovery.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
I've talked to Ben. My son died of a drug overdose,
and he died on birthday. He died on Ben's birthday.
And I called him one day about two years ago.
And all you guys in the background, except for Lorraine,
which is my mom's name, Sweet Loray.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Now it's a wonderful name. She Okay, I get sidetracked,
especially when I think of Mining's son. But so I
would get literally, you know, I don't know. We all
kind of get pissed off at different levels.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
But I had to.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
It was we were short, We're always sure handed, and
I tended to be out in the parking lot because
we were always seeming to be busy. So people would
not put their car carts in the park in the corrals,
which is you know, that's ideal. I don't know, always
expect it to be that way. But there were corrals
pretty much as you guys know, there're space throughout the
(22:25):
parking lot. That's the way all parking lots are. And
people would jack up the cart after emptying their stuff
into their car on the curb, and then some of
them leave it there, and some of them were jacket
up and then roll it into the grass, and I
would so upset because I had to bring it down
(22:45):
and bring the jacket back down. And I got to
where I was joking about it, thinking maybe these people
are so stupid that they think if they leave it
up on the grass and it rains, they'll get bigger
because they'll grow those carts.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's one way of thinking about it. I don't know,
maybe maybe some of those cities where they give away
free vodka. I appreciate you, Carl, thanks for checking in tonight.
Very sorry about the story you told us, and coming up. Dan,
we'll get to you next. But I want to also
save the best three for last, because every one of
these would really piss me off, just as an innocent bystander.
(23:22):
And I've done none of these three. I admit to
eating potato chips, I ad meant to, you know, doing
some of these things in my younger day. But these
next three I'm going to bring up, I wouldn't do
any of them.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Before I get to the Big Three. And these are
the Big Three. Back out to the phones, blind Scott
and Boston weighs in tonight, Scott, what do you.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Got for us?
Speaker 13 (23:48):
Oh? Yeah, I actually I go to the grocery store
two times a day. When they train you with a
guide dog, they warn you not to go near those
grocery store parking lots because most people in those grocery
store parking lots can't even see you when they're driving,
so they'll run you over when you're in the parking
lot because they can't see you. And one other thing,
(24:08):
I think people shouldn't be meaning to retail workers, Like
people are really rude to retail workers. They don't make
much money. And then there's a new person on the
show of Lorraine that's working. I know a Lorraine that
the press guy he called their Lorraine. You know, hey,
there was a call last night in the Bruins game.
It was one of the worst calls in sports ever.
Did Sam Bennett from the Florida Panthers. He crossed, he
(24:30):
crushed Cobb, Charlie Coyle and the Jeremy swim and and
the goal went in and then they went to the
situation room in Toronto and it was a goal.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
But the NHL.
Speaker 13 (24:40):
Rulebook states clearly that if a player pushes another player
to the goalie, it's a penalty and it's a no goal.
So the Bruins got charge of penalty for challenging the call,
and then Barkoff scored on the penalty. This is the
worst call ever in Boston. Boston's going to be They're
gonna light Boston on fire today because of this. You know,
the NHL is a joke, man, So let Florida win
(25:00):
like this. They fixed it. It's just like when they
let the next Kirkpatrick ewing in the eighty to help
the NBA. But it makes no sense in the NBA
because going as a trash place, nobody likes hockey down there.
They're really screwing themselves.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
With this call.
Speaker 13 (25:12):
It's the worst call I've ever seen in sports.
Speaker 14 (25:15):
I just can't get over it.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
All right, thanks for checking in on all those And
by the way, you're not wrong. And believe me that
Sam Bennett hit on Brad Marshaan is making all the
is making all the rounds, and I know it's even
on the crawl.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
Eddie.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You saw you have anything to add to that, Eddie,
because it was a very controversial goal.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Yeah, No, Scott is right. It was an awful call.
Should not have been allowed. And yes, the Sam Bennett
is in the middle of it for everything. Yes, he
was the one who punched Brad Marshawan in the face
that knocked him out of the game. And he didn't
play in Game four as well, who's one of their
(25:54):
captain and one of their most important players, and he
didn't get suspended for that, and he plays in the game.
And Scott was right. He cross checked Charlie Coyle on
the back, pushed him into the goalie and then scored
and that's illegal. You can't do that. And then they
challenged it and then the war room upheld the call
on the ice.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's what that fled me.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Yeah, that's it's a joke. And the only thing I
will push back on what Scott said is if they're
going to fix it, they'd fix it for Boston. I
know that. I guess you could make the argument they
want to grow the game in other places, but the
Panthers went to the finals last year. If they were
really going to fix it, they would they would have
want Boston in over Florida. So I don't agree with that.
It's just an awful call. And you know we I
(26:38):
talked with Brian no last week. We were talking about
the NBA two minute report and like, why do they
do that? Why do they admit that they screw things up?
And I get that, But on the flip side of it,
the NHL probably won't say anything about that call, and
that's that's more infuriating. When they want at least admit
that they did something wrong, they'll just act like it
didn't happen. So I get from that side of it.
(26:58):
I guess that's where the NBA go across to say, oh, yeah,
we did, we did make a mistake on that, but
it was it was a it was a terrible, terrible call,
and it helped Florida come back and win the game.
So that was that was.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Bad, terrible look all the way around.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And I don't want to see the NHL is a
secretive league, but someone could have their leg amputated and
they would call it a lower body injury.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You know how that game played is played, Eddie.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Oh yeah, of course yeah. They Although Scott was was
wrong about one thing, they didn't score on the power
play after they challenged it was was a little bit later,
so but still.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I think that you know, I'm not going to go
quite this far, but it almost conjures up the Todd
Bertuzzi hit of a few years ago. It's a non
hockey play. You can't if you could read the guy's
name on the back of the jersey, you can't hit
him like that.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Yeah, no, I mean, look he his Sam Bennett maintains
it was just a little shove.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh my god. Yeah. The Grand Canyons a hole in Arizona.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
But I mean the problem is, and then some I've
heard some people say, well, the goalie wasn't going to
make the save anyway, But that's not the point. The
point is he has to be given the opportunity to
try and make the save. Then when you get a
teammate shoved into you, that obviously affects your ability to
try and make the save.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So and throughout the year here I will tell you
Eddie and at watching Golden Knights games, Bruce Cassidy is famous.
If the goal and ntes give up a goal and
you know one of the opposing players is anywhere near
the zip code of the goalie crease. He challenges his
goalie interference. I can't believe how many goals he got overturned.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Honest Well, that's also a problem with this specific call
because normally, exactly anytime there's contact with the goalie, and
there's been times where I feel like it's incidental contact
because guys are battling in front of the crease. As
long as it doesn't affect the goalie's ability to make
us save, I think those goals should count. But I've
seen many instances this year where there's been incidental contact
(28:46):
and I think the goalie is not really affected by
it and they'll wave the goal off. So it's really
really inconsistent in this case, and.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I saw that a lot the Golden Knights were beneficiaries
of that many times this year. But that was also
part the equation to in terms of in terms of
you know, goalie interference. All right, the Big Three, I've
not done any of these. We got to talk to
the crew. Bring your dog to the grocery store. Apparently
(29:14):
that's a wicked pisser for grocery store types. Lurana, I
think you got a comment about this.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I do so. My dad was actually I'd call him
a janitor at Walmart for like.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Five years, right, And I got a puppy during this time,
and so I took him into Walmart to go show
my dad.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Like, Dad, look at the dog. He's like, oh my goodness,
get that dog out of here before poop's on my floors.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Because he has to clean up all the animals, especially
the ones that are not actually service animals that people
try to get in there. So this is the thing, Yes,
this is And they don't even clean up after their pets.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
So I'll just let them go and then walk away
from it.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, that's a bad mental picture right about now. I
gotta say, you in a grocery store too, coop thoughts
on that bringing your dog to the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Is coop with us, YEDDI, you want to jump in
on this.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Uh yeah, I have two dogs and I love them
to death, probably you know, treat them more like family
than some family members. But no, not in a grocery
store where there's you know, Yeah, I just it's it's
way more acceptable now. And I think Lorena what she
said is true. Normally they're not service dogs, not like
(30:30):
blind Scott. Right, Blind Scott needs his service dog to
go in the groceres. So that's that's fine. But I
think a lot of people just bring their pets in now.
And like I said, I'm I love I love animals.
I'm a big pat guy. I've at pets my whole life.
But no, I don't think that's cool to bring them
in the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and it's one of those deals. It sets off employees.
Apparently it's not kosher. And uh, I might have looked
as cancer too with people who bring dogs in once.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
In a while, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But It'll be that kind of mind my own business
when it comes to that kind of stuff. But I'm
not saying it's something I am. Am a fan of Cooper.
You back with us, all right? Good bringing your dog
to the grocery store, thoughts.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I mean, I don't know it if it's like and
while I do think this is stupid in general, if
it's like one of those dogs that you can keep
in like your purse, sure.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
As long as it doesn't go number two on the
floor and Lorrain his dad has.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
To clean it up.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Oh yeah, if it's in your if it's in your
purse or a little doggie backpack, or whatever it's gonna
it's gonna go pooping the purse or the backpack. Like enough,
I don't want to walking around.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Well, I don't think that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I've seen people bring big dogs, and I mean big
dogs all right. Uh And by the way, I would
never bring my dog. But if I did and I
opened some potato chips, I'd let my dog have some
potato chips as I'm going down the asle, So that'd
be doubly pissed off at me.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
You gotta give them the beef jerky.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Beef jerky, is that right? Or is that Popperoni?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I mean no, give them the real good.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Have you ever seen that Popperoni?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Yeah, my brother's used to force feed it to me.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I ate it once.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I don't commended I did it. I hit it out
a dare once. I don't recommend it. I'd either eat
those wings in London before I eat paperoni.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Get all right? The second one cutting in five minutes before.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
The store closes and doing a major shopping Yeah, no,
that's gonna piss employees off. Lorena to start with you thoughts.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Oh, the rifles ruffles my feathers. If you're going in
to just grab something real fast, that's one thing. But
don't be trying to do your late night shopping five
minutes before the store closes.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
All right, any thoughts, Yeah, I would say of all
the things you've mentioned, that would probably be one of
the worst because those those people want to go home,
they've had a hard day's work. Like like LREAA said,
if you've got to run in and just grab something
real quick, I'd be like, Okay, that's fine, But when
you bring in with the shopping cart.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Right before about the dog.
Speaker 7 (32:46):
Then yeah, that's not you know, that's not cool.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
All Right, we're gonna coming up.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
We're gonna get to the worst one, I believe, and
I think we'll all be in agreement that this upcoming
one is the worst one. And I'll explain why when
would we continue? By the way, Thoroughbred Racing has a
new independent regulator HAISA, and that's implementing comprehensive reforms and

Speaker 2 (34:11):
As we continue on with the grocery store of chronicles,
we got three calls. I want to squeeze them all
in Mitchell in Ohio. What are your thoughts of the matter.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
I don't know if he's just talking about I don't
know if he's just talking about grocery stores or not.
But one of my favorite places to eat is a
Golden Ground and somebody had a service dog in there
a couple of times here recently broke me out. I
don't think it's gonna be allowed service dog or not.
Because this was a huge dog and agenty walking down
(34:42):
the aisle there where the food is is wagging the
sail back and forth. I was like, man, that is gross.
People hat pretty good money at those places, and then
dude have to bring his big.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
Old dog in there.
Speaker 8 (34:50):
I don't like it myself anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Well you're the dog.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Hopefully the dog minded its manners well at the buffet.
It's a buffet, thanks Mitchell. Yeah, look, you get dogs
around food where people are on food. I think that's
a big thing in Europe. But I don't know, man,
it kind of makes my teeth Itch Dan and Saint Louis.
Speaker 14 (35:06):
You're up, hey, Bernie, but long time listener to you
to show thanks Pal. As far as the service dogs,
if they mind their own business and just there the snow,
big deal. As far as people dumping stuff off in
the aisles that they don't want, as long as it's
not refrigerator or frozen or anything like that. But you
(35:30):
see that all the time, meat sticking behind canned vengefuls unreal.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
That's bothersome. That's wasteful. It's going to stick the.
Speaker 14 (35:37):
Place up too, Yes, especially if you don't find it
right away. And as far as finding something on the
app app, we have electronic tags where you punch in
the item and the tag like up flashes, so that
you know where the product is that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Well, oh, that's fancy.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
That's like it's like the parking lots said, are the
parking structures at Vegas.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
When you're looking for a parking space, good call, coop,
you look them down the isler. All right, thanks so much.
Dan Travis in La. You're up next. Your thoughts.
Speaker 15 (36:16):
Hey, Bernie, I'm curious what the crew thinks about this?
What do you what do you guys think about people
chatting you up when you're like waiting to be checked
out or like shopping in the aisles.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
That's like other.
Speaker 15 (36:28):
Other shoppers that check chatting with you.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
That's the next one, Travis. Uh, let's let's let's go
round the room. So I guess it would have thanks Travis.
I guess it would imagine who the person is and
the vibe you're getting. Lorena, I'm gonna let you go
first on this one.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
People stop me all the time.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I just have this really friendly face that says, Hey,
come and waste my time and talk to me.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Today, I've had people at.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
The meat market, like the meatman come out from behind
the counter and talk to me for like five minutes.
I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding, Brandon. Shoppers just all
the time.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
And how do you feel about that? I don't know,
it's wasting your time.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
No, not always. But I'm like, you guys really act
like you know me.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Maybe they're flirting with you, Lorena.
Speaker 14 (37:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Well this one guy was like, clear, you take my
number and maybe we can hang out sometime. I'm like,
I don't even call the people I know, so.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Take his number. No call him. He's just part of
the group. Eddie.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
So you're waiting in line, maybe you're thinking, you know,
you're you're pondering the universe, and someone wants to chat
you up.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Yeah, I know I'm coming off like I think Loraina
called me like a goody goody or something for all this.
But I will say, in this particular case, I normally
don't want to talk to anyone. I just want to
go in, do my business and get out of there.
I mean, I'd like to think I'm fairly friendly, but
uh yeah, normally I'd rather just not talk to anybody.
So you know, I'm not rude if go talk to me,
(37:52):
but I'm I'm yeah, it's very rare that I'm going
to get in a conversation with someone in the grocery
store line.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Travis Sharvisprings have a good one there. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I don't know how supermarket employees feel good. You got
the last word on this coop.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
If it's an employee that I see often, I don't mind,
you know, having a quick little conversation, Like it's usually
the same lady at the deli counter when I get
my my turkey lunch meat and then we'll talk. But
like just some random other shopper.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, random other shopper, how's that doing? I'm okay there.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Any bring up a good point. It's like the reason
I don't go to a drive through every time. I
want to get my happy meal and get the hell
out of there. Someone in front of me is sort
of enough food for the fifth fleet. I don't go
to an ATM machine because I'm trying to get my
two hundred bucks get out of there. Someone is trying to,
you know, do a leverage bank buy out. I just
want to get the hell out of there, same situation.
So we're gonna save the number one egregious error for
(38:43):
a little bit later in the show because coming up,
what kind of brand new fool of you? Followed by
what my name? But we have to get to that
number one coming up, we'll do a little bit later.
You're listening to the Ben Maller Show. I'm Bernie Frattle
sitting in for bed. Keep it locked. It's Fox Sport Radio.
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
You heard the man Bernie Frattle Show, No, the Ben
Mallor Show. Caeve's rolling right along. My name is Bernie
Fraddawar Counedy live from THEE Tarrac dot com studios here
in Las Vegas, Nevada, Fox Sports Radio tyrack dot com.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We'll help you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping for your
own Hazer protection in over ten thousand recommended installers tyrack
dot com. The way tire buying should be well one
bit of business and an item that has been a
rampant on The Ben Mallor Show of recent times has
been the phenomenon of leaving your shopping cart out in
(00:37):
the parking lot at our grocery store. And we've broken
it down. Even I got to participate in that Thursday
six Ways from Tuesday. Lots of good input even callers
eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six six three six nine. I'm guessing
we're gonna get some calls on this upcoming subject. That's
the tip of the iceberg when it comes to supermarket foils.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
But first, the Mallord Crack.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Research team, Justin Cooper has an update on our earlier discussion,
we were talking about how hot those wings were in England,
two point two million Schoolville units versus you know, two
hundred times hotter than a regular Halopeni union. Well, Coop
Coop has actually had the hottest hot wings at Buffalo
(01:20):
Wild Wings and it weighed in coop fills it.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Three hundred and fifty thousand Scoville units.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So that's how many Schoolville units.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
The hot wings were at Buffalo Wild Wings and they were.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Pretty damn hot, right Coop? By your by your description.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yes, it says it's sixty times hotter than Halopeno peppers.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And so this now is seven times hotter than the
Schoolville unit ones they have at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
This, this is a lot of big words salad from me.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
How many wings did you have at bw's the blazing Yeah,
the blazing ones.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I had a bite of one.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So one byte of one and to steal with England
you got to eat fifteen of them.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And it's seven times hotter than what you add Can
you even remotely imagine what seven times hotter would be
than what you had at BW three's. Can you verbalize
what that must be?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Like?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I can imagine that whatever however bad it is, it's
probably even worse later on.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Could you envision now to see somebody dying, but just
the shock of the eat and just that's going to
reside in your stomach there, and then you know you
got the exit strategy you got probably a few hours later.
And if you've crutched fifteen of those things, you know
that could be some real pain. I'm guessing yes, all right, Coop,
good research that gives us some perspective. So if anybody's
had those at BW three's this deal in England seven
(02:45):
times hotter than those seven times hotter? Well tell you
what's hot in here. I'm not talking about Nelly. So
the topic apparently recently on the Ben Malor Show has
to do with carts, leaving your shopping cart and the
parking In case anybody who was on Mars or missed it, Eddie,
could you just maybe take a second to bring people
up to snuff where Ben.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Waiting on this? All right, So we'll come to that
back in a minute.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But it turns out that just simply leaving your cart
in the parking lot at a grocery store is merely
the tip of the iceberg.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
One of many things that people like you and me.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And Grandma and Uncle John and all the folks that
we go to the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Everybody goes to the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well, apparently we're doing things that completely drive the supermarket
staff nuts. The first one is, all right, Lorena, tell
me if you've ever done this. You're in the checkout line,
you're checking out, all of a sudden you realize, oh damn,
I forgot the pickles. You gotta run back to the
(03:52):
aisle to find the pickles. Well, the people that are
lining up behind you have to wait, and you just
go do it.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Anyway. Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I have done that, Bernie, And I haven't only done that.
I've like gotten up to the.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Front and I've been like, oh my gosh, I couldn't
find this specific item. And then the guy who's checking
out my stuff will go, hold on a minute.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I will run to the aisle.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
For you and get it, which holds up the line
even more. Well, at least if I go run and
get it, he can continue to scan things.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But yep, So that dirty little secret like you're telling
about certain people unnam dropping hamburgers on the floor inadvertently
if someone pisses off the food server apparently very secretly
supermarket employees, and by the way, if you happen to
be one of our fine supermarket you know employees, you know,
giving your effort to a grateful nation as we check out,
(04:47):
feel free to weigh in on this eight seven, seven,
nine and nine of Fox.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And one of these things to piss you u.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Apparently this survey showed that eighty percent of shoppers consider
it rude. Have I done it? Yeah, I haven't done
it a while, but I actually have done it. I
saw something on an end cap, I ran back to
get it. If you could just leave the line, coop thoughts,
have you ever left the check outline to grab another item.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
That you forgot?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'll usually, like, if if we forgot it, I'll like
my wife will stay in the aisle or like in
the checkout line, and I'll run and go get it.
But also I feel like most of the time you
get up to the checkout and they go do you
you know, were you able to find everything today? They
ask you that I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You see, this is why we have these discussions, and
they probably they probably don't even mean it right, But
the bottom line is, well, maybe they do mean I
don't know, but apparently this really sets off workers, and
it really sets off you know, to.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It sets off of people. Obviously sets off people in
line before you.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And eighty percent of people of the respondents have said
that they don't like it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is any back with us. Hello, so Eddie, we're we're
going over.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
The supermarket foibles. Leaving the cart in the aisle is
just the tip of the iceberg, or leaving the cart
in the parking lot. Apparently one of the many things
that piss off supermarket employees is while you're in the
checkout line and you realize you forgot something, so you
leave the line ever so quickly to go back and
grab that item, when people in behind you wait, have
you ever done that?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I have not done that. I have realized while I'm
in line that I've forgotten something, and I will go
run and get it. But I'm not like up to
the front of the line yet, I'm still waiting in line,
and if there's people behind me, I will say I'm
just gonna go run grab something real quick, and you know,
usually they're like, yeah, okay, and so yeah, I've done
(06:41):
that before. I have forgotten things, and as soon as
I'm done paying, remember, oh I forgot that, then I
go put my stuff away and go back and get it.
But now I've never done it where I'm actually like
ready to pay, and then I'm like, oh, I forgot something,
and I just think that's rude. I would go ahead
and wrap it up and then go back, can get
it later, wait in line again.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And eighty percent of the respondents in the survey I
also said it was rude. Have you ever been in
line when someone in front of you has done that?
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Yes, Also, they'll get up there and then they'll ask
them like, where is this I couldn't find it, kind
of like what Coop was saying in a way, and
then make them either go get it or make or
have them call someone to go get it. And I
think that's really annoying too. I'm not a fan of that.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Sure, sure, maybe they shouldn't make it so hard to
find stuff in all the aisles, you know what I
mean I say.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
I mean we've talked about, like, you know, having people
that bag your groceries or do the shopping carts. Obviously,
you know, at least the places I shop. Seems like
they cut back on the on that right, they don't
have those people anymore because it probably budget cuts or whatever.
But it would probably help if there were people in
the store. You could ask while you're going up and
(07:52):
down the aisles occasionally, hey, where is this at? Because
I have a hard time finding people that are doing
that too. It just seems like they have like a
skeleton crew of people that are work in those places now.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Also, why can I never find Rosemary like?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, for those of us in the younger generation, most supermarkets, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
But it's me too, keep going.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Most supermarkets these days have an app right like Vaughn's
and whatever it is that you are searching for, you
can type into the app and it'll tell you exactly
what I.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Tell you the aisle numbers stop. I just downloaded that
you for me app the other day. Oh my gosh,
I canna say five dollars on my bacon? Bacon's expensive.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Yeah, I need to be educated on this apparently. I know,
like when I go to home Depot, I can do that,
but they have it for the grocery store too.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'm so glad you brought this up. I hate to
break up the party.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And I live here in Las Vegas, and I shop
at a beautiful Albertsons that worked until they decided to
rearrange your store one day, not.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Making it up, not making it up. Oh, here's the
ketchup Aisle seven you got on our seven. Theys rearrange
a whole damn store.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Now it's ice cream.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Something like that, which leads me to the second foible
that really pisses supermarket people off. Let's pretend you're trapsing
up and down the aisles and you put an item
in your cart, and for whatever reason, you get seven
aisles away and you realize I don't need that item anymore.
I don't want that item. Are you gonna go back
(09:28):
up and down each child to find out exactly where
you got that item? Are you just gonna politely set
it down and traps away?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Help nobody notices. I hate to admit it, I've done that.
I've got a few dirty looks.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, those are my peaches on the top of the
pens oil. What are you gonna do about a pal?
I can't lie, can't lie, I've done it. Have any
of you folks ever done what I just said?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
When I'm at the checkout. I will tell the cashier
I don't need this and hit to them, because then
they'll have somebody go put it back where it belongs.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So Coop, you're like the model shopper. You're in line,
you'll have your wife go back and put the item back,
or even if you have a situation, get the out
of you forgot. I don't like to do that. I
haven't done it in a while. You know, I've grown
up in my day, but I've done it. But apparently
ninety percent of respondence hate this. Have you ever had
that situation? Netty, You're going up and down an aisle,
(10:22):
you put an item in your cart five holes later.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I don't need it, I don't want it. I can't.
I don't have time to go back and find out
where actually got it.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Yeah, I usually go back and put it where it is.
I remember where I get the stuff from. I'll go back.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And you were such a good citizen.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You guys are amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I guess, Oh my gosh, I'm so bad.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I was at Target yesterday trying to shop for my
daughter to get her some bathing suits because she wants
to have a pool party before the end of school,
and I pick out four different bathing suits, and we
head back to the fitting room, where they're closed for
sanitary reasons. Right, So I go on the side. I'm like,
we'll test. They want to start over your pants? No,
and I'm like, okay, well, then let's figure out what
(11:02):
we're not taking.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
And guess what.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Everything we decided not to take I left right there
on the rack where they do not belong. Yeah, and
you know what, I don't feel bad about it either,
because I had to buy all those bathing suits out right,
take them home, have her try them on, spend sixty bucks,
and then take them back and none of.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Them fit, so they can put away my clothes.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Okay. Do you remember when they closed fitting rooms during
the pandemic?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Is that it says it's from the pandemic. How are
they still closed?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Really?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
If you're serving me Starbucks, you can let me change
in the dressing room.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Sorry, obviously, I'm distraught.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Don't stop now, man, We're on a roll. Don't slow
your role, speed up your role.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Honestly, I was gonna go back today because one of
the sweaters I put back, I was like, that was
really soft.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Maybe maybe I do so advances beyond the grocery store
food culin area items to close.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But here's here's item number.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Three, and I I'm just gonna out myself right now.
I'm terribly guilty of doing this. And I'll tell you why.
How about the folks who buy food, They put it
in their cart and they can't wait till they check out.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
They start matching.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, maybe you buy a bag of potato chips and
you're staring at it.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You go up and down the ounds and.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Go, oh, I gotta have one, I gotta have seven,
I gotta have not so or I box. I boxed
at a gym that was right across the street from Evan's,
and I could walk out of there all sweaty and tired,
and I need salt and crunch. I'd walk into the
store and get a few groceries, and I would.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Have people looking at me, not not all of them,
most don't care, but every now.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And then you'd get that dirty look, you know, like you,
you know, farted in their presence or something.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
But I did it. I hate to say it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
This is one that pisses off not only eighty percent
of employees, pisses off eighty percent of other fellow grocery shoppers.
Have you ever gone to the store and started knocking
on the stuff you bought? Not that you're not gonna
pay for it, you're not stealing it, but you haven't
paid for it yet, and you don't have the the
willpower or the patience to not wait till you get
outside to start eating it.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yea, have you ever done that?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
I've never done that. And I am someone who enjoys
their snacks quite a bit. Certainly, I'll do it in
the car on the on the ride home sometimes, but
especially like potato chips because I'm like addicted to that.
But no, I've never done that in the store. I've
seen other people do that. I've even seen people like
you know, eat like grapes and stuff, and I'm like, oh,
(13:26):
aren't they supposed to aren't they supposed to weigh those
like that? Other that term in the price? I think
that's uh yeah, you kid, that's.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
A horse of a different color. That could be a
that could be illegal in forty eight states. I might
even be a felony if you're the wrong person. Uh Lorena,
I gotta believe you've done this once or twice.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Evil over there, Yeah, because I'm like a do you
so goody two shoes?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I eat grapes as I walk around the store. Yes,
I'm I'm one of those.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
My dad used to walk in and he would grab
a coke and immediately open it and then drink it
as he walked around, and would hand the cashier an
empty bottle at the end.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Okay, So I don't understand you said eighty percent of
workers like don't like this?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Why what's the big deal? How does it change your
job at all? You're still scanning the item. I'm I'm
the same way as le Rena's dad.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I don't open a bag of chips and start eating
them walking around the grocery store. But I will drink
a soda that I bought while I'm shopping.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But you haven't bought it yet.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But I'm going to buy it.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
But people don't, and then they'll shove them back on
the shelf.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is that empty? Is that right? Okay?
Speaker 8 (14:36):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh yeah, So coup raids is a good question. What
the hell do you care if I'm paying for it?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Maybe there are some people that don't, and so they
had They can't make the distinction whether you're one of
the people who pays for it versus one of the
people who don't. I'm just guessing here. I'm spitballing. I'm spitballing.
But it's one of those deals. You know, things just
bug certain people for no reason. They just people find
way to get bugged.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Right. It's a lot of times it's just misplaced anger.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Right, you're having a bad day at work, or somebody
yelled at and you see some guy walking down the
aisle like me notching the potato chip. What's this your
bronie's problem? Can't wait till they get home. Maybe it's
misplaced anger, but it's a thing. It's a thing now,
you know, maybe some grocery stores Lorena should go to
a policy where they weigh you on the way in,
way you on the way out. If you weigh more,
you got to pack. Well that's not the problem. But
(15:26):
then someone's got to buy the scale, which is a
well new set of problems, right.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I mean, if you want to go off that, you
should just go off the honor system.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
But not everyone's honorable. We're not all eddies.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We strive to be, but we're not done yet. We're
not done.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There's a few more I haven't even gotten to the
really really good ones yet that that I think you'll say,
really people do that, Yeah, actually they kind of do,
and we are gonna we are gonna do that. We

Speaker 7 (18:31):
At all Live from the Tirack dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios, It's Bernie Fratto.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
All right, thanks Eddie eight seven, seven, nine to nine
on Fox. If you want to weigh in on this,
we all go to the grocery store. Fortunately, and by
the way, I've saved the best three for last and
we're getting to these. But first we are fortunate to
have a grocery store supermarket professional from Colorado Springs Way
in Rick from Colorado Springs Joints.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Welcome in, Rick, where are you think comet? Thanks?
Speaker 10 (19:01):
I don't know about a professional I've been doing for
almost thirty years.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
But the things you're a professional.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
The thing that a lot of people don't understand is
outside of the shoplifting, the problem is the people walking
around eating food and then just throwing the empty containers
on the shelf. I mean that is, oh yeah, I
found meat containers. Our people will go by, fill up
(19:33):
a box, a bag full of wings, eat the wings
in the store, throw the bones on the shelf, and
don't even pay for it.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh my god, and go ahead, go ahead, finish.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
The shopping cart thing is, it's just a courtesy. I mean,
how would you like to pull up it's raining or
snowing or whatever. You guys don't get that, will you
guys are there, but there's a shopping cart blocking a
parking spot because somebody didn't put it right next to
in the corral, that's right next to where the carvey is.
(20:07):
That's just annoying, you know. So that's much you said.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
All right, very good, Rick, thirty years in the business.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I think you know a thing or two. By the way,
Coop brought that up Thursday night. Good point. It's not just,
you know, kind of rude leaving the shopping cart and
a lot, but you're taking them a parking space. By
the way, King Rory checks in on Twitter as someone
who works in retail, having customers put stuff back on
the shelf where they don't belong doesn't bother me unless
it's a refrigerated or frozen item and they don't put
(20:36):
it back in the fridge or freeze or vice versa.
Now that's one whoa, we got some bad people out there.
Kevin and Florida, you're up next. What are your thoughts
on this whole ordeal?
Speaker 11 (20:49):
Just before COVID, I finished five and a half years
at Winn Dixie, which kind of looks the Piggly wiggly
sure ye. So anyway, and even now, I had by
that time had a scooter accident, which was my transportation.
So since you've got to get to other people, I'll
just focus on the carts, which I know you almost
(21:10):
beat that to death a few days ago. But this
is a funny one. And I used to get mad
because I was I'm sixty five now, and this was
up till about fifty nine and a half when I quit.
But I would get mad, and I went to this evolution.
I'm also in recovery.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
I've talked to Ben. My son died of a drug overdose,
and he died on birthday. He died on Ben's birthday.
And I called him one day about two years ago.
And all you guys in the background, except for Lorraine,
which is my mom's name, Sweet Loray.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Now it's a wonderful name. She Okay, I get sidetracked,
especially when I think of Mining's son. But so I
would get literally, you know, I don't know. We all
kind of get pissed off at different levels.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
But I had to.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
It was we were short, We're always sure handed, and
I tended to be out in the parking lot because
we were always seeming to be busy. So people would
not put their car carts in the park in the corrals,
which is you know, that's ideal. I don't know, always
expect it to be that way. But there were corrals
pretty much as you guys know, there're space throughout the
(22:25):
parking lot. That's the way all parking lots are. And
people would jack up the cart after emptying their stuff
into their car on the curb, and then some of
them leave it there, and some of them were jacket
up and then roll it into the grass, and I
would so upset because I had to bring it down
(22:45):
and bring the jacket back down. And I got to
where I was joking about it, thinking maybe these people
are so stupid that they think if they leave it
up on the grass and it rains, they'll get bigger
because they'll grow those carts.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's one way of thinking about it. I don't know,
maybe maybe some of those cities where they give away
free vodka. I appreciate you, Carl, thanks for checking in tonight.
Very sorry about the story you told us, and coming up. Dan,
we'll get to you next. But I want to also
save the best three for last, because every one of
these would really piss me off, just as an innocent bystander.
(23:22):
And I've done none of these three. I admit to
eating potato chips, I ad meant to, you know, doing
some of these things in my younger day. But these
next three I'm going to bring up, I wouldn't do
any of them.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Before I get to the Big Three. And these are
the Big Three. Back out to the phones, blind Scott
and Boston weighs in tonight, Scott, what do you.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Got for us?
Speaker 13 (23:48):
Oh? Yeah, I actually I go to the grocery store
two times a day. When they train you with a
guide dog, they warn you not to go near those
grocery store parking lots because most people in those grocery
store parking lots can't even see you when they're driving,
so they'll run you over when you're in the parking
lot because they can't see you. And one other thing,
(24:08):
I think people shouldn't be meaning to retail workers, Like
people are really rude to retail workers. They don't make
much money. And then there's a new person on the
show of Lorraine that's working. I know a Lorraine that
the press guy he called their Lorraine. You know, hey,
there was a call last night in the Bruins game.
It was one of the worst calls in sports ever.
Did Sam Bennett from the Florida Panthers. He crossed, he
(24:30):
crushed Cobb, Charlie Coyle and the Jeremy swim and and
the goal went in and then they went to the
situation room in Toronto and it was a goal.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
But the NHL.
Speaker 13 (24:40):
Rulebook states clearly that if a player pushes another player
to the goalie, it's a penalty and it's a no goal.
So the Bruins got charge of penalty for challenging the call,
and then Barkoff scored on the penalty. This is the
worst call ever in Boston. Boston's going to be They're
gonna light Boston on fire today because of this. You know,
the NHL is a joke, man, So let Florida win
(25:00):
like this. They fixed it. It's just like when they
let the next Kirkpatrick ewing in the eighty to help
the NBA. But it makes no sense in the NBA
because going as a trash place, nobody likes hockey down there.
They're really screwing themselves.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
With this call.
Speaker 13 (25:12):
It's the worst call I've ever seen in sports.
Speaker 14 (25:15):
I just can't get over it.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
All right, thanks for checking in on all those And
by the way, you're not wrong. And believe me that
Sam Bennett hit on Brad Marshaan is making all the
is making all the rounds, and I know it's even
on the crawl.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
Eddie.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You saw you have anything to add to that, Eddie,
because it was a very controversial goal.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Yeah, No, Scott is right. It was an awful call.
Should not have been allowed. And yes, the Sam Bennett
is in the middle of it for everything. Yes, he
was the one who punched Brad Marshawan in the face
that knocked him out of the game. And he didn't
play in Game four as well, who's one of their
(25:54):
captain and one of their most important players, and he
didn't get suspended for that, and he plays in the game.
And Scott was right. He cross checked Charlie Coyle on
the back, pushed him into the goalie and then scored
and that's illegal. You can't do that. And then they
challenged it and then the war room upheld the call
on the ice.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's what that fled me.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Yeah, that's it's a joke. And the only thing I
will push back on what Scott said is if they're
going to fix it, they'd fix it for Boston. I
know that. I guess you could make the argument they
want to grow the game in other places, but the
Panthers went to the finals last year. If they were
really going to fix it, they would they would have
want Boston in over Florida. So I don't agree with that.
It's just an awful call. And you know we I
(26:38):
talked with Brian no last week. We were talking about
the NBA two minute report and like, why do they
do that? Why do they admit that they screw things up?
And I get that, But on the flip side of it,
the NHL probably won't say anything about that call, and
that's that's more infuriating. When they want at least admit
that they did something wrong, they'll just act like it
didn't happen. So I get from that side of it.
(26:58):
I guess that's where the NBA go across to say, oh, yeah,
we did, we did make a mistake on that, but
it was it was a it was a terrible, terrible call,
and it helped Florida come back and win the game.
So that was that was.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Bad, terrible look all the way around.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And I don't want to see the NHL is a
secretive league, but someone could have their leg amputated and
they would call it a lower body injury.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You know how that game played is played, Eddie.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Oh yeah, of course yeah. They Although Scott was was
wrong about one thing, they didn't score on the power
play after they challenged it was was a little bit later,
so but still.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I think that you know, I'm not going to go
quite this far, but it almost conjures up the Todd
Bertuzzi hit of a few years ago. It's a non
hockey play. You can't if you could read the guy's
name on the back of the jersey, you can't hit
him like that.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Yeah, no, I mean, look he his Sam Bennett maintains
it was just a little shove.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh my god. Yeah. The Grand Canyons a hole in Arizona.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
But I mean the problem is, and then some I've
heard some people say, well, the goalie wasn't going to
make the save anyway, But that's not the point. The
point is he has to be given the opportunity to
try and make the save. Then when you get a
teammate shoved into you, that obviously affects your ability to
try and make the save.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So and throughout the year here I will tell you
Eddie and at watching Golden Knights games, Bruce Cassidy is famous.
If the goal and ntes give up a goal and
you know one of the opposing players is anywhere near
the zip code of the goalie crease. He challenges his
goalie interference. I can't believe how many goals he got overturned.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Honest Well, that's also a problem with this specific call
because normally, exactly anytime there's contact with the goalie, and
there's been times where I feel like it's incidental contact
because guys are battling in front of the crease. As
long as it doesn't affect the goalie's ability to make
us save, I think those goals should count. But I've
seen many instances this year where there's been incidental contact
(28:46):
and I think the goalie is not really affected by
it and they'll wave the goal off. So it's really
really inconsistent in this case, and.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I saw that a lot the Golden Knights were beneficiaries
of that many times this year. But that was also
part the equation to in terms of in terms of
you know, goalie interference. All right, the Big Three, I've
not done any of these. We got to talk to
the crew. Bring your dog to the grocery store. Apparently
(29:14):
that's a wicked pisser for grocery store types. Lurana, I
think you got a comment about this.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I do so. My dad was actually I'd call him
a janitor at Walmart for like.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Five years, right, And I got a puppy during this time,
and so I took him into Walmart to go show
my dad.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Like, Dad, look at the dog. He's like, oh my goodness,
get that dog out of here before poop's on my floors.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Because he has to clean up all the animals, especially
the ones that are not actually service animals that people
try to get in there. So this is the thing, Yes,
this is And they don't even clean up after their pets.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
So I'll just let them go and then walk away
from it.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, that's a bad mental picture right about now. I
gotta say, you in a grocery store too, coop thoughts
on that bringing your dog to the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Is coop with us, YEDDI, you want to jump in
on this.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Uh yeah, I have two dogs and I love them
to death, probably you know, treat them more like family
than some family members. But no, not in a grocery
store where there's you know, Yeah, I just it's it's
way more acceptable now. And I think Lorena what she
said is true. Normally they're not service dogs, not like
(30:30):
blind Scott. Right, Blind Scott needs his service dog to
go in the groceres. So that's that's fine. But I
think a lot of people just bring their pets in now.
And like I said, I'm I love I love animals.
I'm a big pat guy. I've at pets my whole life.
But no, I don't think that's cool to bring them
in the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and it's one of those deals. It sets off employees.
Apparently it's not kosher. And uh, I might have looked
as cancer too with people who bring dogs in once.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
In a while, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But It'll be that kind of mind my own business
when it comes to that kind of stuff. But I'm
not saying it's something I am. Am a fan of Cooper.
You back with us, all right? Good bringing your dog
to the grocery store, thoughts.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I mean, I don't know it if it's like and
while I do think this is stupid in general, if
it's like one of those dogs that you can keep
in like your purse, sure.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
As long as it doesn't go number two on the
floor and Lorrain his dad has.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
To clean it up.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Oh yeah, if it's in your if it's in your
purse or a little doggie backpack, or whatever it's gonna
it's gonna go pooping the purse or the backpack. Like enough,
I don't want to walking around.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Well, I don't think that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I've seen people bring big dogs, and I mean big
dogs all right. Uh And by the way, I would
never bring my dog. But if I did and I
opened some potato chips, I'd let my dog have some
potato chips as I'm going down the asle, So that'd
be doubly pissed off at me.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
You gotta give them the beef jerky.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Beef jerky, is that right? Or is that Popperoni?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I mean no, give them the real good.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Have you ever seen that Popperoni?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Yeah, my brother's used to force feed it to me.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I ate it once.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I don't commended I did it. I hit it out
a dare once. I don't recommend it. I'd either eat
those wings in London before I eat paperoni.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Get all right? The second one cutting in five minutes before.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
The store closes and doing a major shopping Yeah, no,
that's gonna piss employees off. Lorena to start with you thoughts.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Oh, the rifles ruffles my feathers. If you're going in
to just grab something real fast, that's one thing. But
don't be trying to do your late night shopping five
minutes before the store closes.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
All right, any thoughts, Yeah, I would say of all
the things you've mentioned, that would probably be one of
the worst because those those people want to go home,
they've had a hard day's work. Like like LREAA said,
if you've got to run in and just grab something
real quick, I'd be like, Okay, that's fine, But when
you bring in with the shopping cart.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Right before about the dog.
Speaker 7 (32:46):
Then yeah, that's not you know, that's not cool.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
All Right, we're gonna coming up.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
We're gonna get to the worst one, I believe, and
I think we'll all be in agreement that this upcoming
one is the worst one. And I'll explain why when
would we continue? By the way, Thoroughbred Racing has a
new independent regulator HAISA, and that's implementing comprehensive reforms and
the sport is combining hands on care with cutting edge
technology to help keep its athletes safe. To learn more,

Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, thanks so much, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
As we continue on with the grocery store of chronicles,
we got three calls. I want to squeeze them all
in Mitchell in Ohio. What are your thoughts of the matter.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
I don't know if he's just talking about I don't
know if he's just talking about grocery stores or not.
But one of my favorite places to eat is a
Golden Ground and somebody had a service dog in there
a couple of times here recently broke me out. I
don't think it's gonna be allowed service dog or not.
Because this was a huge dog and agenty walking down
(34:42):
the aisle there where the food is is wagging the
sail back and forth. I was like, man, that is gross.
People hat pretty good money at those places, and then
dude have to bring his big.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
Old dog in there.
Speaker 8 (34:50):
I don't like it myself anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Well you're the dog.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Hopefully the dog minded its manners well at the buffet.
It's a buffet, thanks Mitchell. Yeah, look, you get dogs
around food where people are on food. I think that's
a big thing in Europe. But I don't know, man,
it kind of makes my teeth Itch Dan and Saint Louis.
Speaker 14 (35:06):
You're up, hey, Bernie, but long time listener to you
to show thanks Pal. As far as the service dogs,
if they mind their own business and just there the snow,
big deal. As far as people dumping stuff off in
the aisles that they don't want, as long as it's
not refrigerator or frozen or anything like that. But you
(35:30):
see that all the time, meat sticking behind canned vengefuls unreal.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
That's bothersome. That's wasteful. It's going to stick the.
Speaker 14 (35:37):
Place up too, Yes, especially if you don't find it
right away. And as far as finding something on the
app app, we have electronic tags where you punch in
the item and the tag like up flashes, so that
you know where the product is that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Well, oh, that's fancy.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
That's like it's like the parking lots said, are the
parking structures at Vegas.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
When you're looking for a parking space, good call, coop,
you look them down the isler. All right, thanks so much.
Dan Travis in La. You're up next. Your thoughts.
Speaker 15 (36:16):
Hey, Bernie, I'm curious what the crew thinks about this?
What do you what do you guys think about people
chatting you up when you're like waiting to be checked
out or like shopping in the aisles.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
That's like other.
Speaker 15 (36:28):
Other shoppers that check chatting with you.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
That's the next one, Travis. Uh, let's let's let's go
round the room. So I guess it would have thanks Travis.
I guess it would imagine who the person is and
the vibe you're getting. Lorena, I'm gonna let you go
first on this one.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
People stop me all the time.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I just have this really friendly face that says, Hey,
come and waste my time and talk to me.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Today, I've had people at.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
The meat market, like the meatman come out from behind
the counter and talk to me for like five minutes.
I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding, Brandon. Shoppers just all
the time.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
And how do you feel about that? I don't know,
it's wasting your time.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
No, not always. But I'm like, you guys really act
like you know me.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Maybe they're flirting with you, Lorena.
Speaker 14 (37:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Well this one guy was like, clear, you take my
number and maybe we can hang out sometime. I'm like,
I don't even call the people I know, so.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Take his number. No call him. He's just part of
the group. Eddie.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
So you're waiting in line, maybe you're thinking, you know,
you're you're pondering the universe, and someone wants to chat
you up.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Yeah, I know I'm coming off like I think Loraina
called me like a goody goody or something for all this.
But I will say, in this particular case, I normally
don't want to talk to anyone. I just want to
go in, do my business and get out of there.
I mean, I'd like to think I'm fairly friendly, but
uh yeah, normally I'd rather just not talk to anybody.
So you know, I'm not rude if go talk to me,
(37:52):
but I'm I'm yeah, it's very rare that I'm going
to get in a conversation with someone in the grocery
store line.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Travis Sharvisprings have a good one there. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I don't know how supermarket employees feel good. You got
the last word on this coop.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
If it's an employee that I see often, I don't mind,
you know, having a quick little conversation, Like it's usually
the same lady at the deli counter when I get
my my turkey lunch meat and then we'll talk. But
like just some random other shopper.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, random other shopper, how's that doing? I'm okay there.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Any bring up a good point. It's like the reason
I don't go to a drive through every time. I
want to get my happy meal and get the hell
out of there. Someone in front of me is sort
of enough food for the fifth fleet. I don't go
to an ATM machine because I'm trying to get my
two hundred bucks get out of there. Someone is trying to,
you know, do a leverage bank buy out. I just
want to get the hell out of there, same situation.
So we're gonna save the number one egregious error for
(38:43):
a little bit later in the show because coming up,
what kind of brand new fool of you? Followed by
what my name? But we have to get to that
number one coming up, we'll do a little bit later.
You're listening to the Ben Maller Show. I'm Bernie Frattle
