07:47 pm - Report from work
They're filming a movie on 13th St. outside the store. They seem to be blocking our parking lot. It is very slow here.

10:33 am - Rainbow in the news again
Now Channel 5 thinks our coupons are newsworthy!
Best part is our Rainbow person plugging my book while talking about the cheese department.
Otherwise there are some factual inaccuracies (we started the coupons originally because we were trying to make the weekends less crowded, not because we were having hard times), and it would have been nice to hear the word "cooperative". But you can't get mad at free publicity.

11:42 am - Rainbow in the Chron
Ha! Awesome and big front page article on our crazy coupon days. Coupon days will be even more insane now. For non-coupon shoppers, I can wholeheartedly recommend Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays for calm, peaceful shopping. It’s like going back in time a decade on those days cuz everyone is coming Wednesdays and Thursdays.
This is my favorite picture. Both Stagey and I independently thought of those old Mervyn’s ads.
“Open… open… open…”
Next year will be different so enjoy the insanity until October when the coupons end. Hey, since I’m doing an ad anyway, we’re having a customer appreciation day today. 3-6 there will be giveaways, Rainbow bands, and other stuff. It’s at the 13th St. entrance (My total pet peeve is my co-workers who insist on calling it “Division”. Especially on the website. Grrrrrr.)
And don’t forget: closed on Pride, open on July 4.

08:49 am - Breaking cheese news!
I just got an email from a distributor that says only, "The proposed 300% Roquefort Duty has been postponed to Thursday April 23rd." You heard it here first. I feel sorry for those poor distributors who have stockpiled pallets already. But hey, at this rate we'll still have Roquefort at "only" $25-30/lb though X-mas!
By the way, we will be closed tomorrow for Cesar Chavez Day. You can come down to the store and stick your face up to the glass, but we aren't going to open the doors.
