A scary day for the people south of us. A tornado touched down a couple hours south. There has been a good bit of damage, 8 people injured 4 seriously. That area is prone to tornados and in 1985 had one of the worst in Canada. I was living closer to the area then and knew one of the people injured.
Other than doing some shopping and getting a long needed haircut, I have spent most of the day quilting. I had a frustrating time at the grocery store. I try to be patient when it is a situation that isn't anyone's fault but I do get irritated when it could have been handled more efficiently. When I got to the store, there was a bit of a line up but it moved quickly. A young employee was waving each person through when it was time (this is important for later.) I zipped around and got my items and, when it was my turn, got everything on the conveyer I belt. I packed my own bags and then went to pay. The clerk wasn't really focused on me at all and it took a while for her to get the pin pad ready. I did my thing and waited for longer than normal and then got a message that said it hadn't gone through. I had to get the tellers attention and we did it again, same result. I asked her why I was having problems and she told me that the system was down. Now you tell me. After a bit more fiddling around, I left my groceries to go to a bank machine and hair appointment. Back to the store to pay for my items. There were a few more delays and I was done. My complaint is that the entrance employee should have advised customers there was a problem and they would need cash.
I informed those waiting in line of the situation and one couple left as they didn't have cash.
Hope everyone is safe and enjoying their day,
blessings,
