[00:35:13] <drussell_> ted-ious, This gas station has the contract as an Amazon pickup location... The entire back room is just Amazon packages. They used to deliver right to my door out here, but since these folks got the pickup-location contract, it always just says "delivery attempted, could not be delivered pick up here..." Not sure if they're supposed to be actually trying to deliver things or what the story is, not getting any discount like
[00:35:13] <drussell_> if I select a pickup location in the city instead of home delivery.... Sometime I will pester Amazon and see what's up with that fuckery... I liked actual delivery.

[01:06:40] <drussell> Oops, I accidentally posted my next couple comments to #staff haha
[01:07:01] <drussell> ...
[01:07:02] <drussell> Some things from Amazon (especially originating from the US) come Purolator, which does still deliver it directly to my house.
[01:07:17] <drussell> Things from China come China Post -> Canada Post and I pick it up at my PO box at the post office... but now 90% of anything I order comes via "BNI" which is apparently "Bonshaw Logistics" and it all just piles up in the back room at the gas station we used to call the General Store 30-40 years ago when I was a kid... Now it's just a regular convenience store, a liquor store and a giant room full of Amazon packages.
[01:07:34] <drussell> At least they know me so well in there now that I don't even have to tell the guys my name... haha
[01:07:54] <drussell> Nevermind the "show two pieces of ID," I don't even have to tell them my name... haha
[01:08:28] <drussell> I guess that's the thing with a small town when there's only a few hundred of us here in the winter... haha

[09:26:31] * halibut crashes through a wall holding a pitcher of Kool-Aid.
[09:26:32] <halibut> Oh, yeah!
[09:27:11] <janrinok> what an entrance! Morning!
[09:29:07] <halibut> Good morning.
[09:29:51] <halibut> I was looking up YouTube videos of the Kool-Aid Man entrances to see if I remembered it correctly.
[09:29:58] <janrinok> lol
[09:30:20] <janrinok> I hope that you did not spill too much
[09:32:46] <halibut> Always drink the Kool-Aid.
