Have not seen Cracker Crumbs on special in ages but the Dirty Famous Bastiges don’t have FS and in my state would add sales tax all meaning you save about nothing.

Walmart bans woman allegedly riding electric cart while drinking wine from Pringle can

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) - The Wichita Falls Police Department responded to an odd call on Friday morning at the Walmart off Central Freeway after a woman allegedly rode around the parking lot on an electric cart for several hours while drinking wine from a Pringles can.

Reportedly, the woman had been in the parking lot since around 6:30 a.m., and employees called WFPD just after 9 a.m.

When police officers responded to the call, the woman was reportedly at a nearby restaurant and notified that she was banned from the Walmart.

I don't shop by political affiliation. I have been pleased with quality of service.
but having to prove where I garage my vehicle after mailing non-renewal notices to my address and wanting multiple proofs of address after 18 months almost put me over the edge.

Yeah, proof of garaging is a pretty big initiative, especially in places like FL and NY. They've found a good groove cracking down on it, and it's clearly working, cause business hasn't been this good in a long time.

I was referring more to the work we do with fraud initiatives, like proof of garaging. Making sure the people we bring in are good, and getting rid of the ones who aren't is better for business. Every big insurance company spends buckets of money on advertising, but solid underwriting practices are the key to being continuously profitable.

Actually, they DO have the same process. For some reason, they wouldn't let me enter my actual city name on the quote, it made me enter Cleveland. And it popped up for their garaging process because that doesn't match my credit report, for obvious reasons. So, nice try, but swing and a miss.

Yeah, proof of garaging is a pretty big initiative, especially in places like FL and NY. They've found a good groove cracking down on it, and it's clearly working, cause business hasn't been this good in a long time.

I was referring more to the work we do with fraud initiatives, like proof of garaging. Making sure the people we bring in are good, and getting rid of the ones who aren't is better for business. Every big insurance company spends buckets of money on advertising, but solid underwriting practices are the key to being continuously profitable.
Yeah, sure.  So that must be why you buy insurance from Allstate/Esurance, they don’t require good people.
but they have Good Hands. 😂

Flo came through. I have my renters insurance AND reinstated auto insurance.
And I appreciate your contribution to my bottom line.
they almost fucked up big time and I came close to finding another company after over 15 years. their computer system never updated my address changes even though I spoke with CS 18 months ago.
Bastiges!
Really.  If he was paying attention on the banter he could have saved money at esurance.   ;)
And if he shopped around some he would not be supporting the commie anti-gun Democrats.
Good thing he didn't do that, then.

Well I think Dean is a very good person but according to Golf Dean is a very bad person just because of where his garage is.
No, Dean is a good person, because unlike people who are fraudulent, he is telling the truth about where he lives, and can prove it. I see your reading comprehension skills haven't improved any in retirement.

Actually, they DO have the same process. For some reason, they wouldn't let me enter my actual city name on the quote, it made me enter Cleveland. And it popped up for their garaging process because that doesn't match my credit report, for obvious reasons. So, nice try, but swing and a miss.
No swing and miss, All of the primary companies have about the same requirements.  One who does not buy necessary products from the hand that feeds them can’t be considered much of a good person.

Flo came through. I have my renters insurance AND reinstated auto insurance.
And I appreciate your contribution to my bottom line.
they almost fucked up big time and I came close to finding another company after over 15 years. their computer system never updated my address changes even though I spoke with CS 18 months ago.
Bastiges!
Really.  If he was paying attention on the banter he could have saved money at esurance.   ;)
And if he shopped around some he would not be supporting the commie anti-gun Democrats.
Good thing he didn't do that, then.
I don't shop by political affiliation. I have been pleased with quality of service.
but having to prove where I garage my vehicle after mailing non-renewal notices to my address and wanting multiple proofs of address after 18 months almost put me over the edge.
Yeah, proof of garaging is a pretty big initiative, especially in places like FL and NY. They've found a good groove cracking down on it, and it's clearly working, cause business hasn't been this good in a long time.
Massive advertising campaigns work
I was referring more to the work we do with fraud initiatives, like proof of garaging. Making sure the people we bring in are good, and getting rid of the ones who aren't is better for business. Every big insurance company spends buckets of money on advertising, but solid underwriting practices are the key to being continuously profitable.
Yeah, sure.  So that must be why you buy insurance from Allstate/Esurance, they don’t require good people.
but they have Good Hands.
And we know that means everything to you.
The wrinklier the better. ;)

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. Or in this case, give side-eye to the messenger. Lol

I really wish I hadn't posted about my insurance now.
Hey, I was just trying to provide insight into something I know a great deal about. Should've known it would turn into me being the asshole, because of reasons.

who needs an excuse to be an asshole?
trust me, I know.

Mickey Mouse ice cream bars sold at Disney parks coming to grocery stores
WFLA 8 On Your Side Staff·1 hour ago
We have great news for those of you who like to eat the popular Mickey's Premium Ice Cream Bars when visiting Disney!

To celebrate the 90th birthday of world's most famous mouse, Disney will be releasing its popular Mickey's Premium Ice Cream Bar at grocery stores in Florida and across the United States.

Publix Super Markets spokesman Brian West tells WFLA.com the ice cream bars will be available at Publix stores in late February. Stores can special order them now. 

"Mickey Mouse ice cream bars are a popular novelty item for Disney visitors, and many of our customers have asked about them.  We're excited to make this product available for the first time for our customers," said West.

We reached out to other grocery stores in the Tampa Bay area to see if they will be carrying Mickey ice cream bars, but have not heard back from them. As soon as we hear from them we will update you.

Nestle has also confirmed to WFLA.com that Mickey Mouse ice cream bars will be available at grocery stores, but only for a limited time.

"Yes, we are excited to confirm that the Mickey Ice Cream bars will be available in stores for a limited time. You'll start seeing them on shelves in the coming months – stay tuned for more information on exactly where and when," Nestle spokesman Joshua Morton told WFLA.com.

Nestle supplied WFLA with an image of the box of ice cream bars.

The ice cream bars are made with light ice cream and come in a box of 6.  For those who are watching their calories, each bar is 210 calories and has 8 grams of fat and 20 grams of sugar.

Disney will be celebrating Mickey Mouse's 90th anniversary with special events at its parks around the world.

Did someone put something in my cigar?

So I take the day off of work to have  an expensive rolled vynil floor in my basement. While the men were finishing up my Wife notices a small gouge. They did there best to fix it by heating it up but you could still see it. We settled the bill but had them sign our copy stating the situation. We then contacted the store. Here's what there response was. We will want to replace your floor in a week or we are going to void your warranty and give you back 100 dollars. This is a very unreasonable response.
