I wonder who the dick-wipe was who invented those stickers they now plaster on fruit. Some of them used to have an unglued edge so you could peel it off, but now they all seem to be stuck on with super glue. If you take them off when you buy you bruise or damage the skin and they begin to rot. If you wait until the fruit is ripe you practically have to peel the peach or plum to get the bastards to let go.

The only reason for them is so that the check out clerk can know the code number when she/he weighs the fruit. In some grocery stores in the U.K. they now have self-serve weigh scales where you weigh your fruit, punch in the code and out comes a bar code sticker with the total price printed on it that you can then put onto the OUTSIDE of the plastic bag.

most of the Europe has this system for many years .... but the self-serve scales have PICTURES of the fruits or whatever, next to the price buton. no need to know the barcode or the name anymore... which is a great thing if you are a tourist, with no knowledge of the language.tom25 said:

Though you might suspect otherwise Red Light District section of town isn't really that seedy, and it's a very common sight to see a busload of tourists take an organized tour.
This sounds remarkably like a HFS post.Cock Throppled said:
