mottaloo Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I follow vivera vegan food company on Facebook and they posted today that they were pleased to announce that they have a part of the meats aisle devoted to their products - i think it's with Tesco. Anyway, the amount of angry comments from vegans and vegetarians this has received is crazy ! Comments like "i will NEVER go down the corpse aisle....the aisle of horrors.....how dare you, someone should be fired for this !" and other (in my opinion) OTT comments. I mean they've done this for a reason.....to target the likes of me, a carnivore, who has sampled their products and other manufacturers veg stuff in the hope that i convert. It appears to me that a few of these folk would faint or puke up if they had to walk down the aisle of murder; their outrage is palpable. The ironic thing is that Tesco still gets their money and probably dont care if they've spent it on mungbeans or steak. If they are that offended then boycott the stores and buy from a greengrocer and online for the vegan stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree its not easy for someone who doesn't know the rules to follow as easy as football though. and me not sure if its because the novelty of our football has well and truly worn off or more likely because I don't like the guff that comes attached to our football with sky and the media etc but if you asked me if I wanted to watch the chiefs vs the pats or man city vs Liverpool I would go for the NFL game doesn't happen every game but the NFL is almost designed for drama in the last 2 minutes (I appreciate what pisses people off is the last 2 minutes lasts around 15-20 minutes) you just need to find something else to do whilst its on, sunday night so iron your work clothes, get your lunches ready etc etc (that's bollocks - I play football manager whilst watching, it pairs up with FM an absolute dream) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Yep, I’ve done a little on supermarket design and layout. Truly fascinating what they can nudge us in to and what we subconsciously want to do. Big discussions at the moment on change. Whether change annoys people or gets them introduced to new products they’ve previously ignored. Does putting the chilli powder where the talc used to be increase chilli powder sales, annoy people in to shopping elsewhere or overload A&E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Quote The NFL’s popularity is all the more remarkable when you inspect the fare it has to offer each week on television. An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes... more than 100 commercials.

I always seem to have to do a few laps of the building before finding them tucked away somewhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzzle Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 People that say ‘fount’ instead of ‘found’!! People that use the phrase ‘I just say it how it is’!!!

Yep, these people are always pricks, in dead end jobs with car crash personal lives but take some comfort in always "telling it like it is". They've not learned there is a time and a place to speak up and a time and a place to keep it closed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
