Honestly, it was one of the best movies I saw all year, cartoon or not.<br /><br />As for the distinction of the driver vs. the Carrefour employee, I totally agree although I'm not sure that all locals would draw the same distinction. The attitude of at least some of them seems to be that by shopping in a store, they have earned the right to have the store's employees do pretty much whatever they. In any event, it all ties back to your point about laziness--we all have some things that we'd rather pay others to do for us, but it seems that many of the locals prefer to pay someone else to do just about everything.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923946532271907920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738485019962980262.post-61473249590404928652009-06-24T15:21:42.083+03:002009-06-24T15:21:42.083+03:00Ok, Steve, I checked out your Wall-E trailer. I h...Ok, Steve, I checked out your Wall-E trailer. I have to admit my (selective) Adult A.D.D. never has allowed me to watch cartoon movies, except, of course, for LION KING ON BROADWAY! Anywho, at least the driver is that woman's paid employee...so now the question is, does she allow him to buy himself a juice when he has to get out and buy hers. Aye, there's the rub!Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802006723093743285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738485019962980262.post-1215940118324583432009-06-24T15:03:12.132+03:002009-06-24T15:03:12.132+03:00Couldn't agree more, Sybil--just the other day...Couldn't agree more, Sybil--just the other day Ella & I were discussing this very issue when I saw a Qatari lady send her driver into the mini-mart over by Landmark mall to get a newspaper. Apparently she couldn't be bothered to get out; not surprisingly, she was quite large. (If you haven't seen it already, you should watch the movie Wall-E and tell me if the future humans remind you of any particular nationality.)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923946532271907920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738485019962980262.post-73805880910530885392009-06-24T13:02:22.887+03:002009-06-24T13:02:22.887+03:00It's so sad that you are in the same town as y...It's so sad that you are in the same town as your brother, but I, 8500 miles away, am the target of your a.c. woes.
