This. This is what I’m faced with immediately upon entering my neighborhood grocery store. Most of you will likely scoff and say, oh, big deal! So what!? What are we even looking at?? But perhaps a few of you will at least somewhat understand why this blemish on an otherwise perfectly corresponding floor throws me off my stride every time I go food shopping.
I understand accidents happen and tiles get damaged. Why not make a design? Even a simple square or something? Especially if you chose a tile that had a nice, peppy design rather than trying to match the tile already in place…and dismally failing, might I add.
I mean, it is the only odd tile in a veritable sea of like-colored tiles. And what’s worse, the banana table is RIGHT THERE. See it!? It could be moved over ever so slightly to cover up the oddball tile. But no. The powers that be just leave the offending thing there. Out in the open. Taunting me.
Maybe if you step on it, a shelf will spin around to reveal a secret chamber filled with bargain coupons and perfectly ripe avocados.
I tried. I looked like a fool jumping up and down on the odd little square and still…nothing happened. Not even a coupon for pizza bagel bites. 😀 Oh, and I like the dog!
Ah, that’s too bad — especially about the pizza bagel bites. I was hoping the block led to a secret cache filled with rare, priceless artifacts — as well as dramatically discounted items.
Thanks for the dog comment! I’m making some bold new design changes on the site, but don’t worry — the content will remain as uninspired as ever.
A priceless artifact or two would come in handy right now given the state of my bills. 😀 Can’t wait to see the rest of the changes on your site. I like what you’ve done so far!
Given the cost of groceries these days, a priceless artifact would be nice to have. 🙂
Seriously.
It doesn’t even come close! they might as well as put in a stark red or something. I do like Allen’s comment!
Right!? Whew! I’m glad it’s not just me. Allen IS pretty clever. Just don’t let him know that.
haha! *Allen shall never know*
Ack! That would bug me to death too! I would have to avoid the banana table or go around it. 🙂
I would if I could! 😀 But it’s right smack across from the entrance, so you have to cross it (or at least see it) no matter where you head to in the store. Unless you take the scenic route thru the other side of produce/deli. Plus…I like bananas. It’s quite annoying. 😦
Hey, give them a break, sometimes all the scrubbing in the world can’t get human blood and brain tissue out of linoleum.
Well, allrighty then. That got really dark really fast.
If that bothered you …wow I hate for you to work at my job lol.
The things I see in my job are horrendous, but this, this is just plain annoying. Come on…it doesn’t even bother you just a little bit!?
Lol what do you think? …of course maybe not like it bothers some but yeah…I concede lol
😀
Had you worried for a mine didn’t I ? LOL
I wish I had never seen this… my day is now completely ruined. 😀 LOL
Thank you for understanding! 😀
You do know how hysterically funny this is, right? The banana table really made me laugh. 🙂
Thank you my friend…you get it. 😀
I think it looks ok – perhaps if they had turned it 90 degrees it would have seemed better?
This would annoy me so much I might actually have to stop shopping there
In my town I have two stores to choose from and one is more expensive than the other. So I don’t have much choice. Another reason why I think they just leave it there to taunt people.
Oooohh that is really mean of them. Maybe you could see if the banana’s are on wheels and accicidently bump into them
I was considering going in every few days or so and moving the banana table just an inch each time until it got over the spot. Wonder if they’d even notice? 😀
well if that doesn’t bug them then I am going for no they won’t notice and even if they did the workers will probably be greatful
