Quoting Sean Dennis to Jim Weller <=-

I am one of those who likes to use the self-checkout lane.

And I am not.

My big problem with Walmart are the people

One of my beefs is their absolutely horrible attitude towards their
own employees. We had a store in Quebec go union and they shut it
down citing "poor sales". They pay less than anyone else, so they
attract the otherwise unemployable and given them little if any
training. Consequently those wretches give absolutely terrible
customer service, not that I blame them much.

Here's something that looks interesting but I'm not sure I'd
try it:

Title: Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Duck Sauce

I like the whole recipe except the whole wheat pasta part.

Here's an Asian flavoured duck dish with some different noodles:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Duck-Noodle Salad
Categories: Asian, Fusion, Salads, Duck, Noodles
Yield: 8 Servings

2 oz Cellophane noodles
Shredded meat from two
5 lb Roasted ducklings
1/4 c Finely sliced green onions
1 tb Rice vinegar
1 tb Minced ginger root
3/4 c Mayonnaise
1 ts Sesame oil
8 oz Water sliced chestnuts;
Drained
Salt and pepper
Red leaf lettuce or
Romaine or Bibb lettuce
Enoki mushrooms
Crisp-cooked duck skin;
Cut into small pieces

Cook the noodles in boiling salted water just until tender; they
should still be firm. Drain and rinse in cold water. Cut into
3-inch lengths with scissors. Drain well.

Combine the duck meat, green onions, noodles, vinegar, and ginger
root. Blend in the mayonnaise and sesame oil. Add water chestnuts,
season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss until well blended.
Chill until ready to serve.

To serve, mound the duck salad on a large platter and surround
with the red lettuce and enoki mushrooms. Sprinkle the salad with
crisp duck skin.

TIP: To prepare crisp duck skin, remove the skin from the roasted
ducks, cut into small pieces, and pan-fry in a small amount of
duck fat (if necessary) until well browned and crisp.

VARIATION: Substitute rotisserie chicken.

Hello JIM,

And I am not.

I also think it's a generational thing. I've noticed people older than me (I'm not trying to be sardonic, promise) absolutely detest the self-checkout lanes, my stepfather being one of them. For him, it's more of the confusion of not being able to figure out what to do at times or making a mistake and having to wait for the attendant to log in and fix the issue.

They've done that in the US plenty of times, however, they have been raising their pay rates from external pressure (a la Amazon). But when you're mistreated, you're not exactly focusing on customer service.

I know: I used to work for Walmart in Carbondale, Illinois in 2002. I walked out on that job and for good reason. I am starting to shop more at other places but being where I am, sometimes you have to go to Walmart to get certain things unless you want to drive 30-45 minutes to another store that has what you want besides Walmart. I'm hoping to change this situation soon.

That was the part I was wondering about.

That does sound good. I like cellophane noodles, especially when made from real cellophane. :D

Now for something different:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02

1/2 c Coconut cream
3/4 ts Almond extract

Makes 4 servings.

MMMMM

Later,
