Reminds me of my Tesco supermarket (just so there's an actual RHU link), which has started putting up snotty "Trolleys preferred at this checkout" (meaning carts if you're American) at the human-operated checkouts, in an effort to badger basket-carriers like me into using the Godawful self-service checkouts.

Oh, and full disclosure: I always use the toilet stalls, I hate urinals and risking seeing some other guy's... you know. Up tight? Moi?

Ah, the green handled "environmentally friendly" toilet! We had one of those special handle toilets for about two weeks in our staff bathroom. You're suppose to pull up for urine, push down for feces. (One way used less water, supposedly.) I would just pull the handle towards me in a little act of rebellion.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not some environment hater. I just hate all those things people declare are "green" when in the long term, they're not. Like the "green" lightbulbs. We've got low flow toilets in all our bathrooms at home because the law says we have to. I don't see how having to flush up to 7 times, plus often having to stop to plunger it, and putting things like Liquid Plumber down it, can possibly be better for the environment than a high flow that takes one flush and only plugs if you put a whole roll of toilet paper down it.

Anyway, the special flush toilet didn't last long. Everyone hated it and it sprung a leak. So it was gone and replaced with one of the superior older kinds.

  • Greetings Curious Scroller,

    If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice.

Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.

    I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
