I was in retail business in the 1970’s and  I never let the customer bag their own groceries . In those days the Supermarkets trained the public to do it themselves how do like the way  the fast food chains trained the public to bus their own  tables…or pumping your own Gas. Like I said I never had  any of my customers leave without their purchases bagged . Remember when the  stores used paper  bags it was very costly for them..it was practically the same cost as the store rent.Today plastic bags are  very inexpensive . .Please do not make a fool out your customers  by letting them exit your store caring an unbagged item like  a putz.

I remember back in the day circa 1950 -1960’s Every Friday restaurants accommodated those who had to refrain from meat..You could  get all the flounder or  fried shrimp you can eat  at a place such as Grants for 69 cents. When you ordered Shrimp Marinara you didn’t get 4 or 5 shrimp like you get today..It was loaded with shrimp..Same goes  Shrimp with Lobster Sauce at Chinese Restaurant

We were told that Shrimp  prices would drop with the advent of Fish farming particularly with its main stays such as Shrimp & The Smoked Fish industry consisting mostly of Lox, Sturgeon and such items..Today the Farm raised fish is not any cheaper you’d be lucky if you get 5 shrimp on any shrimp dish in any restaurant . .and Lox the color  has to be added  after its retrieved from the  Fish farm as the  Orange color only occurs when they swim upstream.

The sad  thing  is that  they often  feed these Farmed Fish  Pig Dung (crap)..At least  what’s arriving  from China and We wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it’s done here in the U.S.A .also.

What is equally as bad that  many ocean caught fish are basically the same thing..they  cordoned off  a spot in the ocean with massive amount of netting and that traps fish in the confines of that netting and feeds them there “which is Paramount to the exact same thing as fish farming.”

China has built a plethora of artificial islands all throughout the Pacific Rim dotting the Pacific Ocean with Thousands of Fish Farms and as well as we already mentioned loaded with nettings of Sustained Ocean Caught Fish.

Legislation is well over do so this is never done here.Just how  healthy is farm raised Fish anyway . You be the Judge.

      I  remember  when some brain trust came up with the bright idea to have the  shoppers put a quarter in the Coral  in order to get a shopping cart & in order to get your  Quarter back you have had to return it to the coral..The Shoppers  rejected that system and looked for other  Supermarkets to do their shopping….it didnt work. I  haven’t been  to Florida in a while ,but when I was there I used to l used to like to shop at Publix  Supermarkets they had a system….Your  shopping cart with your  groceries went to the  left of the cashier & the shopper went to the right on a sort of circular cash out counter .  The bagger was on your left bagged your groceries as the cashier  rung them up & brought  them out to your car (a good deal of the time the bagger was a  retired senior citizen) No tipping allowed..if you tipped the bagger bringing it to your car ..they lost their job . .at least thats what I understood that occurred perhaps  I was wrong on that  but no one ever tipped.Hence no shopping carts and no more dings.

 

Supermarkets and all other malls that have shopping carts will post a sign stating “not responsible for shopping cart damaged to your car…Not necessarily so. Did you  ever go to a hat & coat at a check at a restaurant or hotel that displayed a sign  saying not responsible for lost of damage  clothing checked..simple not true..it was already  proven in court.

If a supermarket leaves their shopping  carts in an unsafe  fashion then they are then 100% responsible. Ever go to a supermarket  or  a Wal-Mart before  opening   and  all the carts all over the place..because the management either doesn’t want  to give to workers overtime at closing time or simply  just don’t care.

What we  at the Lerman  Report .Com suggest you do is document it..Take pictures with your cell phone and send it to corporate  Headquarters . .Once its documented guess what?… Then their liable it’s as simple as that . Also every locality has a stipulation that each parking lot marked stale must conform to certain widths you should document that too..

Why should we as customers have to put up with that situation and risk damage to our cars.What irks us is that the workers who round-up the shopping carts are not high-priced employees..their lucky if they earn $12 an hour.You mean to tell me that an  outfit such as Wal-Mart which is a  Multi Billion Dollar Concern can’t have just one cart handler stay for an extra 1/2 hour overtime in order to round-up the carts at a measly cost of $6.00

        Some food items sold today are not what brought them to the legendary fame of yesteryear. Lets start with Pizza…year’s ago you stopped by your local Pizza Parlour for a slice..in my time it cost only 15 cents..Today I had a slice although I ‘ll admit it had a topping & a small Fountain Soda the tariff… $6.50. Today you order a Pie with a topping it runs you close to $25.00..WhenI was growing up there wasn’t  a man who could left $25.00 worth  of Pizza .Plus they open up & commence to make a dozen pies with different toppings at 10am .by lunch time the slices are cold & dried out & have to be reheated ..not to tasty anymore.Plus all these franchise pizza places,sad to say that’s the future of Pizza  stores  down the line so get used to it..Between cost of product & rent the Mom and Pop Pizza stores will soon go to the wayside.
Second Chinese food..at one time all you had been Cantonese..It was never authentic Ethic Chinese Cuisine but the concoction  of the  great Chinese  American chefs who operated a central culinary school .No matter what neighborhood in the N.Y.Metro area that you at every restaurants had  identical recipes ..Today with the Schezwan & Hunan It’s just not the same  not only that but every place has a dissimilar recipes and it couldn’t light a candle to the old  Cantonese  style of  years ago.
The list is extensive  but for a quick read on this site I will just mention the others briefly so here goes…. gyros…knishes.. Diners .I’ll say this if they  started introducing those  items today the with the mediocre taste & high today’s high costs like a thousand pound glider would  never get off the ground.

Who ever bought one of those fancy box of chocolates knows this to be the truth..There are several  different gift style boxed chocloares on the market. Anyone whoever bought  a box knows that  most of the candies on the box are not worth the wasted calories to consume them. There are  about 5 major brands but  whatever brand  box that is opened you’ll  soon  agree that  there are only 3 chocolates  worthy  to  have per Box the rest is just junk.. We all have said it all along. You would be 100% better off buying a box of  of Turtles or  a Pecan  clusteres any day of the year, but they come in a non-fancy  style box not exactly what you would never think to present that to someone on a memorial occasion. Like we mentioned earlier Its all about presentation nothing more.  The chocolate company selling that fancy box chocolates fools you everytime.

Did you know that back in the time of the American Revolution that they already had Electricity and Refrigeration.? Yes it a little known fact but true..They had Ice Houses for a good 40 years at that juncture in time .Though the refrigeration units of that time to make the ice for home ice boxes was enourmous but if you had ice houses you had to gave electricity. It wasn’t for a hundred years later in the late 1880’s that   the electric street lights were installed & electricity become installed in homes nation wide it was a monumental undertaking at that time.

Also Fingerprint Technology was developed around 1880,that means that they had computers back then too..How else  could they have matched up prints in any data base..I know that years ago when you received any gov’t check it always said  “donot bend fold  or. Spindle” doing so would ruin the computer reading, same goes for all those Iowa Tests we took back in the day using those number 2 pencils.

Al  Gore accually did invent the  Internet. Before  Gores advocating  so the internet-to be open to the general public it was used strictly by Government Intelligence  agencies including  the pentagon..I will go out on limb and venture to say that the government must have had cellphone usage years before it hit the market for you & me.

I rememberer The 1964 world’s Fair at each & every eatery  they had 2018  prices back in 1964 it was beyond expensive..however I was at he N.Y.State Pavilion next to the top of the fair & I purchased a full meal for 25 cents..when I started to consume if it was ice cold..I returned it to attendant she informed me  to use the ” Ultra  Violet” ovens..I was amazed it heated it up  in 2 minutes ..it was an early  microwave  oven. It didn’t hit the public   until 1970..though I heard that they actually were available to Mr. & Mrs. Public back in the 1950’s..same goes for  Video Tape Recorders although  they were much bigger & not yet available in VHS or Beta Cartridge” as we all remember but had a very large tape  cartridges. Lets not forget the rear projection T.V. it actually was available in 1958.

Same with T.V.Hitler watched the 1938 Olympics on T.V. back then..however it was untill 10 years later that it became a consumer item. I wonder what the Government is sitting on today
