Sooo, occaisionally I get into arguments with Americans over public versus private healthcare. Not that I have problems with Americans, almost all of them are very lovely people.

I just find it amusing that some of the older generation goes on about how in Canada we can't choose our own doctors, or have bottom-barrel treatment. Of course none of that is true.

But here's what I think. Any health care system where ANYONE is profiting from my health, good or bad, is corrupted. End of story.

Aaaand I'm done.

Customers Only

Okay so I'm working at the Juice Bar today. Not alot people in at the moment. So I kinda space out and start thinking about other random things.

So this woman comes in and notices our sign that says "Washroom for customers only". So she asks me if it's okay. Of course I say "Oh sure, go ahead. Only I think there's someone in there, so you might have to wait a moment".

Turns out there was, so she takes a seat and starts looking at the menu. For a minute I thought she might order something. She didn't. But that's besides the point.

Anyways, so I got to thinking what a hugely dumb marketing idea those signs were. If you had to use the washroom, would you really buy something? Of course not, you'd go somewhere else. But at least people are coming in, checking out what you have to offer. If they move on, they move on.

Juicy Lucy's has a lot of dumb marketing ideas like that. Oh well, I'd like to think that if I were running things, we would be alot more successful. Or maybe not. Who knows?

Aliens and Juice: A Totally Off-Topic Interlude

I've decided to start writing here daily. No matter how bad I think each post may be. I'm tired of having such an erratic posting schedule.

It's no secret that vegetable juice tastes bad. If you do actually like it there are several possibilities to why that may be:

1. The "vegetable" juice you had, actually contained large amounts of fruit.
2. You've been drinking veggie juice for a while, and are simply used to the taste.
3. You have some sort tastebud disease.
4. You are secretly a space alien.

Now I work in a juice bar/health food establishment, where we make specialty juices of all shapes and sizes. Yet we probably sell %50 more veg juices than fruit ones. How do I figure that one out? 

Maybe it's the neighbourhood is full of hippies who like to be healthy. Or maybe it's because all of our customers are space aliens.

Either way.  Add that to the pile of things I don't understand.
