Anyone own a Tesla?

If I had the scratch I'd probably spring for a Rivian, but I'm just driving my old ICE vehicle until the engine and transmission die. I'll let companies keep iterating on EVs and let the infrastructure improve for a few more years. I want one, but I want to be able to charge it more conveniently. I am optimistic about the heavy R&D going on in the battery space. If the packs end up carrying sodium instead of lithium, for example, that'd be huge
The first company that figures out an electric version of the old compact Toyotas or Rangers ought to make a mint. I'd be first in line. I don't want a full size truck and don't need it
I’d be 100% interested in something like that. I’d like a smaller practical sized pickup. Probably won’t happen anytime soon though.
Fed Meyer is just a depressing place to shop. What isn’t locked up is out of stock.
WinCo is one of the few places I can still find frozen OJ. Love the bulk section.
Agreed! And all of my travel and vacations go on it, because of the annual 3% cash rebate, which is pretty significant!
Plus, the gas is a no brainer.
We forgot to plug Trader Joe’s.
Got to be up there as my all time favorite!
Well, my grocery bags never have tomatoes in them, because those are disgusting.
But I have seen kids put bags of chips or loaves of bread under canned goods or packages of meat. The one that really boggles my mind though is when they put gallons of milk and bottles of laundry soap - things that have their own handles - into a grocery bag. And usually, they put the gallon of milk into its own individual bag. Once I went into a store, I bought milk, bread, and eggs, and they gave me 3 bags. SMH.
Ha! That's crazy, three bags for three items? Sheesh. Unless requested, anything that had a handle (milk, laundry soap, soda, etc.) would just go right back in the cart.
I unload my cart at the belt now with heavier items first so it's almost foolproof they don't F it up. They'll always find a way though.
I do that too, and if they’d just bag in the order I gave stuff, they’d be fine. But they push things off to the side and do what they want.
Another thing that bugs me - bread and chips. I used to put those on top of heavier items in bags. I now put those on the belt last, so that they can top the other bags with bread or chips…but they pretty consistently just give me a bag of bread and chips
Ha, any time bread and chips came through, I was excited to get those to top off bags. It isn't rocket science, and I wish people cared with a little more effort...
Wait, I'm confused...I thought you were strictly on a cats and dogs diet regarding meat? That's all I have to say about thatThis topic is a lot more fun!
On meat, I rarely eat beef for health reasons. Mostly chicken breasts, with the occasional lean-looking pork roast. Which I always check for at Winco. Sometimes those things are like $2.29/pound. Throw it in the crock pot, then pork tacos, pork sandwiches, big chunk of just pork. Lean as chicken. Yum.
I like "Winning Company". Nice contrast to most of this board, which I refer to as "whining company". See how I did that?
Edit - in keeping on topic, I'll start counting how many Teslas are in the Winco parking lot when I go there. Speaking of which, I've seen exactly one Cybertruck in town. Was laughing so hard and trying not to run off the road that I didn't catch what the driver looked like.
I hated canned foods. They were great for building a base, but there were people who complained I made the bags too heavy if there were more than 2 cans in them
The "beauty" of winco (aside from all your other excellent points) is that you get to bag your own groceries and do it right! Taihtsat
In order:
No cats, too bony. Fat dogs taste sort of like pork roast if slow-cooked. So same thing.
Yes, I'm laughing at all the bitching about 16-year-old bag boys F-ing up the bagging. I enjoy bagging my own at Winco, and planning for it as I place my items in proper order on the conveyor belt. Frozen and cold stuff together, cans and heavy stuff first, beer at the end.
And there are plenty of things to complain about. Cougar Football comes to mind today.........
