"Bump and Grind"
Go to the "office", work, breaks, where did I park? But I don't cry! Raleys Rocks!
Welcome to Piggly Wiggly!!
Years ago we had a nice lady from the south somewhere who's husband was in the Air Force and of course where he went she went, thus is marriage in the military. Anyways she had worked at a Piggly Wiggly. If I could only remember her name, nice lady. One day she had to go on the intercom system and make an announcement for whatever was the special of the day. Everything sounded nice (she was good at keeping a professional voice on the intercom system--like a pro!) until her closing! "Again as always we'd like to thank you for shoppin' at your local Pig--gly Wig--gly!!" (Imagine a pause where the dashes are...lol...almost like a holler)
We, all of her co-workers, howled with instant hearty laughter!! We stopped dead in our grocery tracks. Oh how she laughed and turned red with embaressment! We just died! Customers asked, "What's a Piggly Wiggly?"
If you've been in the grocery biz as long as me you know what a Piggly Wiggly is, just because the name is so goofy. Who thought of naming a grocery chain after wiggles and pigs?
The point, we don't work in the south, and we work for Raleys!! So sweet to have a good laugh at work, a good laugh that makes you feel good...
Enemy. Dangerous to my health.

I can't believe I am posting this. The 'S' word is toxic to my health and welfare!! Yuck! 18 years for Raleys has made me a cheerleader for the home team!
Market shopping...
Shopping for a bargan is not easy anymore. Know when your ads for your local grocery stores come out in the paper or mail. Raleys ads for West Sacramento start on Wednesday. "Shop by the AD" Look and plan your shopping and meals via the ads... it's the only way to save nowadays.
All in a days work...
Milk Crates...
Blue Bonnet Spread, is this still made or sold anywhere?
Cleveland Division of Health, old poster Food and Drug Admistration

My 401K....?
Honestly what can I do with the stock market tide being so topsy turvy? I can cancel deductions for a time being? I can pray?! But praying for money is a sin, I think? I won't retire for 15-20 years easy.
What about all those who were going to retire soon, like in the next few years? Those are the people I am feeling for right now. To those who were thinking about retirement soon will now have to work a few years longer to make up for their lost money.
What has happened to the golden years?
Again praying for money is a sin. Praying for a better tomorrow is not.
Coffins in the grocery store oh my!
Believe it or not but we call these coffins in the biz. These are open refrigeration units used in meat departments, deli's, and bakery's all over the grocery world!! They don't seem to be very efficient, being that they are wide open to the air, not enclosed.
Grocery grocery...
