Embarrassed?

Received this email from Starbucks:

Offer valid from 06/04/09 - 06/05/09 for one Tall (12oz) complimentary Iced Coffee or Iced Coffee with Milk at participating Canada Starbucks locations. Limit one per customer per day. Must pay with a registered Starbucks Card. Offer not valid in provinces of Quebec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Void where prohibited, taxed or restricted.

As it turned out this was a promotion by one of its many stores. That store sent it to all of Starbucks' customers.


Standing

First time ever that I see a shopping cart stands on its two front wheels.

How...?

Save $4 on an item originally selling for $2.98? Now how does this worked? This particular Zellers store must have some very unhappy employees.

The owner of the stall gets what exactly what he pay for, minimum wage minimum effort.

Power line

One of the power tower along Boundary. These towers were supposed to temporary measures. More than half-a-century later they are still standing.

Add on

London Drugs is really working hard to increase its sales per square foot ratio. Saw this piggy back rack on the ice cream freezer.
