Greenwood's Septic Tank Pumping  

5.0 star rating
9/20/2010
Al Greenwood is my favorite septic tank pumper and the best uro-fecal removal specialist I've ever encountered.  I think he probably is either a deaf-mute, or autistic.  He never talks.  Wait, that's not true, he told me his fee.  (It was a FANTASTIC price which is why I chose him, for the record.)  

When he got here, he refused my husband's advances regarding making small-talk, did his job, and left.  

It was such a painless experience, I didn't even feel the two hundred dollars leaving my wallet.  The whole transaction made me want to take several dumps per day so that we can see him more often than once every three years.  Is there some way I can give my entire family diarrhea surreptitiously?   Any advice considered.

Gamestop At Heritage Mall  

1.0 star rating

The exact same shit happened to me, Arbie!  That lady that said "THAT'S CALLED PIRACY!" was a total asswipe, and that interaction made me feel awful all day long.  I wish the employees at this Gamestop had more compassion for customers like myself that are not pirates.  I already suffer enough prejudices in the gaming community!

I will not return to this store.  When I walk by when I'm in the mall, I shoot dirty looks at the minimum wage employees, hoping that the holier-than-thou bitch that called me a pirate is having her booty plundered.

Gittel's Grocery

I'm pretty sure this is the Coeur d'alene epicenter for drug deals.  Every time I'm here, I witness some shady character getting into some other shady character's car, or some skeevy dude standing at the door of some sketchy guy's car and leaning in, while looking around to see who's watching.   Then everyone disperses really quickly and it's all over.  If you shop for more than 5 minutes, prepare to see the whole thing repeat itself!

If you like to be entertained with illegal activities all around you while you shop at the world's tiniest grocery store that's way overpriced, Gittel's is the place for you!

My kids stole a bunch of drinks and chips from this location without me nor the employees noticing.  It was really an accident; my kids assumed I was paying for them, and I wasn't paying any attention.

While we were eating, I needed something, but the employees had run off to the back (to get high or something?) and I couldn't get anyone to come out at all.  I could have taken the cash register home with me by the time they came back.  

My husband ordered a toasted sandwich, and instead of making it for him so it would be warm, they let it sit on the counter while they made the other 5 sandwiches we ordered  So then I got to listen to my husband complain about how much his sandwich sucked.  In the end, I wished we had gone somewhere else.

Kmart Stores  

3.0 star rating
12/24/2009
You know how Kmart is always empty?  Well I went there last night and it was packed!  I couldn't believe there were actually other shoppers in the store!  

They don't stock the store very well -- probably because they don't expect to have many customers.  

The cashier pretty much forced me to donate money to the St. Jude's children's hospital.   I hope if you go to K-Mart, you won't be intimidated into sparing your change like I was.

It's not one of those cooler K-Marts that have the popcorn and Icees, either.

Nordstrom  

4.0 star rating
12/21/2009
This Nordstrom doesn't have a big selection like the stores in the Seattle and Portland area.  There's always someone trying to spray you with perfume.  

The shoe selection is pathetic.  Shoes are the only reason I have a Nordstrom account.  

All the employees think it's appropriate to offer me advice on what to buy.  I'm running out of smart-ass comebacks because I've been harassed by them so many times in this regard.

The cafe rules and they have some really delicious food.  It's my favorite part of the store.  

I really like the bathrooms in Nordstrom and always have, the reason being that there's a sitting room, or as they call it, "lounge" before you actually get to the rooms with the toilets.  When my son was little, I could have him sit in this area while I pooped, because I was worried about him being kidnapped, so he wasn't out roaming around the store.

Petco

I needed a female guinea pig.  It was essential that I get a female.  So, I asked an employee to help me sex the guinea pigs and they were all creeped out about it.  One girl told me "oh, you have to push in on their genital area and then if a penis pops out, it's a boy, and if not, it's a girl."  I told her that wasn't much help because I wasn't going to go fondle the genitalia of all the guinea pigs in the store.  Eventually she reluctantly went and found me a girl, but I was tempted to go "I don't really like that one, will you try another one?" just to be a jerk.  But I didn't, I just accepted the first girl she found.

THEN, we needed a male parakeet.  The bird "expert" had no clue how to sex the parakeets!  At this point I'm getting irritated because I'm just trying to be a responsible pet owner and I don't want a bunch of unwanted guinea pigs and parakeets, damnit!  I looked through all their parakeet books so I could determine the gender myself, and there was absolutely no instruction on how to do this.  

I didn't want to get a Petco Rewards card, as those things bother me and I don't like having my purchases tracked.  But it's like they're always insisting I get one.  I usually say "I'll just use the store c card," because every store has a generic card for people like me.  But she wouldn't let me do that!  Maybe she was retaliating for me making her touch guinea pig penises.

All in all, I think this store is staffed by people that have no clue whatsoever about animals.

Hastings Books Music & Video  

Category: Bookstores

5.0 star rating
12/21/2009
They have so much cool crap here.  There's so many awesome knick-knacks and doo-dads.  

If I still rented DVDs, I would definitely do it here, simply because I always return DVDs late, and Hastings doesn't make you pay all your late fees at once before you can rent another video.  Plus they have some program where if you return the video within 24 hours of renting it, you get a 2 dollar credit towards your next rental.  I should know because my friend is always making me return his videos, and when I do that for him, he pleads with me to go into the store and check it in instead of putting it in the drop box.  My friend is the cheapest, penny-pinchingest person I've ever met in my life, but I'm not writing a review on HIM, am I?

Anyhow, Hastings has a great selection of books and music, too.  One thing I think they could improve is when you need to special order an item, it takes over a week to get it.  

The staff are all teenagers and it seems like they forget to charge me for things a lot.  I really like that in a store.

I have no idea why I ever go to this Radio Shack.  Other than the guaranteed laugh to myself I get when the manager is going on and on about his World of Warcraft raids (and this has been 100% of my recent visits,) I'm always disappointed.  They never have what I'm looking for.  I don't really think I'm looking for rare, obscure items, either.  I think the employees are all just too stoned to order the stuff they need.

Even after I told the guy I didn't need help, he continued to follow me around the store just in case.  I guess because I'm a girl I have no idea where electronic items are stocked in a store.

This Radio Shack has a much better selection of audio cables and microphone supplies and, honestly, a better selection of everything I've ever tried to buy than the other Radio Shack in the mall.  So I recommend this Radio Shack over that one.
