Reed's Remember When ...

This Blog is dedicated to remembering things the way they used to be and tying them to today. Not everything in the 'good old days' were good, but a lot of things still have merit. For instance, 'Remember When a half-gallon of ice cream was actually 2 quarts vice 1.75 quarts today? What's up with that?'

Name: Reed
Location: Midwest, United States

Trying to make sense of 'today' and ensure my children grow up with the beliefs that were instilled in me. Give them the best start in life. Stress do the 'right thing, the first time, every time.'

Reed's Remember Putting Things Back

Remember when you would be in a store and the shelves, aisles, and displays were mostly straight and neat? Remember being told to put things back where they belong? Recently, while in two different stores (grocery and large discount stores), I found many things thrown back on the shelf, shoved here and there down every aisle. What is it about people who can not walk four aisles over and put the Crunch Munchies back with their brother and sister bags of Crunch Munchies vice stuffed next to the Preparation H.

Today, I was shopping for birthday cards, and lo and behold, it looked like someone decided to restack all the cards in different pookas (aka small storage rack, area, or slot) than the one it belongs. When you pick up a card and do not like it, put it back in the slot where it came from. Is that too much to ask?

It seems in our hustle and bustle world, people do not want to take the time to put things back where they belong. Borrow your co-workers stapler, put it back on their desk. Your child grabs a toy off the shelf and you find it in your chart, take it and put it back where it goes. You all get the idea, put it back where it goes, the way it goes.

Oh one more thing, those carts in the parking lot scattered everywhere. Put them back in the cart corral or take it back inside the store. The walk will do you good.
