WINCO IS DISCONTINUING THE DISCOUNT FOR USING YOUR OWN BAGS EFFECTIVE 2/1.

USPS CHARGES $1.10 FOR ONLINE CHANGE OF ADDRESS.

MY VERY WORN CONVERSE LET IN WATER FROM EVEN THE SHALLOWEST PUDDLES.

MY WRIST IS SORE, SO I HAVE TO USE MY PEPPER GRINDER WITH MY NON-DOMINANT HAND ON TOP, WHICH FEELS AWKWARD AND IS SLIGHTLY MORE TIME CONSUMING.

JALAPEÑOS AND AVOCADOS CAN BE A CRAPSHOOT OF TASTELESSNESS THIS TIME OF YEAR.

ARE YOU MOVING HERE? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR PLACES TO EAT? DO YOU EVEN TRY TO RESEARCH?

DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AS A CONSUMER IS AN INCREASINGLY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE DUE TO SEARCH MANIPULATION AND MASS FAKE REVIEWS. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THAT THEY HAVE TO SEARCH “GOOD RESTAURANTS EUGENE OREGON REDDIT.”

LITERALLY INCLUDE REDDIT AT THE END OF THE SEARCH AND SUDDENLY YOU GET A STRING OF KNOWLEDGE UNINTERRUPTED BY GOOGLE’S SHITTY ADVERTISEMENT-DRIVEN ALGORITHM. IT WORKS FOR EVERYTHING.

ALSO, IF THE REVIEW HISTOGRAM SHOWS A SPIKE IN 1 STAR REVIEWS, IT MAY BE A PRETTY GOOD SIGN THAT ACTUAL PEOPLE THINK THE PRODUCT SUCKS IN SPITE OF THAT 4.8 STAR RATING.
