My taxes and postage aren\u2019t even enough to subsidize the post office and the USPS can\u2019t figure out why they\u2019re losing money! Duh!! Raise junk mail fees instead of first class mail fees!!!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I like shopping in person at Target stores on occasion. Unfortunately, I am ticked off at their order picker team. They push their large carts around at the speed of sound with total disregard for in store shoppers\u2019 safety. Myself and many other shoppers have almost been run over by their haste and poor cart-driving skills. I appreciate that order pickers have an important job to do and are probably being timed by management, but is a needless accident and lawsuit worth it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I complained to the Sanford zoo administrator that the giant tortoise on display was living in nothing more than a small dirt square with four walls and nothing else.\u00a0 He said, \u201cYeah, but that\u2019s all it needs since all it does is just stand there.\u201d I was outraged and pointed out that of course the tortoise just stood there.\u00a0 They don\u2019t provide anything to stimulate it.\u00a0 Four walls and dirt.\u00a0 Nothing else.\u00a0 How sad is that!<\/p>\n<p>NEED TO VENT?: I\u2019m Ticked Off!
