He probably only has one or two employees and maybe even a life.

Perhaps his wife helps on packaging it all up , but I know for a fact that he is the only person that handles mixing the juice. And judging by the fact that I've had exchanges with him at 3am his time he probably doesn't have much of a life outside of mixing juice for us addicts lol.

Holy entitlement batman...

You would just ditch your cart full of picked items at a grocery store because you have to wait in line to pay? Like you're somehow better than everyone else also trying to pay and should be served first? Damn dude, you just might be a complete ........

moo? You're a complete and total idiot lol
Kinda have to agree with you...

the store is providing a wonderful service, waiting in line to pay is a small price to pay for having to go out and grow/kill/build it your self.

it took me a few hours to earn the money.... I'm usually not in that much of a hurry to spend it.

ugh no I'm with the other guy, I can't stand having to wait in line at a grocery store. Not because i think i should get served before others but because they haven't staffed properly, any more than 2 in line and they should be calling for floor help to open a checkstand IMHO. Bad management, bad scheduling and/or trying to save a buck.


No comment on Jugheads, that to me is a completely different situation and I don't know his circumstances.

SuperStore at 10pm and self checkout only
for this guy.

As for Jugheads 'circumstances' I think it's just a matter of him wanting to control everything and make sure his quality stays top notch. If he knocked it down to say 30-40 flavours only and preface a bunch of it then I'm sure he could operate like a 'normal' juice vendor but that's not his style. I like that he has 500 flavours to chose from.

dont forget some provinces have laws that says how many employee can work during what time. thats the case in Quebec where past 18hrs they are not allowed more than 4 employees at checkouts.

I don't think he's saying that at all. Leaving a store with a cart full of goods left behind to rot is telling them something. How many times do you see 10 to 15 check out lines and only 3 to 5 of them with clerks? I see it all the time and it's very frustrating that the company feels their huge profits are more important then their customers time. They have a pretty good idea as to when they will be busy and should staff accordingly. Either that or be willing to pull stock clerks to help out in line.

Okay enough ranting about the mega corps. We're talking about a small business person here. He probably only has one or two employees and maybe even a life. Knowing where Jughead lives also tells me that he may not have access to people that he can hire. I tend to give small business owners a bit more slack then the mega corps. I would even say that running his liquid company is a full time job but doesn't give him a full time wage. He's doing the best he can with the situation at hand.

Ya, the message it sends is "i'm an entitled douche that believes my time is more valuable than others". Let's waste food and people's time because some people believe they're more important. Maybe they're inability to open more lines is because of douche canoes like this guy causing them to have to try and restock the goods left behind.

then again, I just use the self checkout or wait 5 minutes because I understand that hey, other people want to pay and leave too. .... this guy.

Back on topic!

I just ripped into my Jokesmoke Twista for the first time!. Let it steep for a week.. best juice i've tried so far!! I can't even describe the taste, it's just damn good. I haven't tried any of his other Jokesmoke juice, but if it tastes similiar I will have to make another purchase soon!

I've also tried his Jumpin Red Bully flavor.. I only let it steep for 4 days and probably vaped a little too early. Scent and taste was very perfumey, will have to let it steep some more. I haven't tried his TN Menthol or Sour Puss flavors yet, when I finally get over this awesome Jokesmoke Twista, I'll have to take a rip of those too!

Going for a 60ml next time for sure!

ya Tramd that's our point- Those of us that don't want to wait 20 minutes in a line-up to pay for food do go elsewhere - got it? Calling someone a douche because they feel this way is completely out of line.

Again, not talking about Juggies, just grocery stores that don't have their act together. Safeway is consistently lined up, their cashiers are ...... off and calling for help (and having no one show up to help them), and their customers are ...... off, makes for a ....ty shopping experience. My local Whole Foods NEVER have more than 2-3 in a line-up, nor does my IGA

And i don't know where you live but none of the 3 that i mentioned have self check-outs

I find it interesting and bothersome, that someone who is inexperienced with Jughead's, is so critical.
Obviously inexperienced, or you wouldn't have wasted time elaborating your discontent with wait times.
The point is, the product and impeccable service is WELL worth the wait.
Instead of whining on the dedicated forum, venture forth and find your two second purchase option.
You will be one less customer, in our line up. :vapor:

Next.

I would like to try a few 'new to me' flavours.
Has anyone tried the Brainy Cranium Loafer and Canadian Wintergreen?
What did you think?? :)

So I went back to Koffe supreme and the past date cream taste is still there, guess it's just not for me, Brrr Frozen Cherries is better after a month but would of loved a bit more Brrrr, Blueberry Lemonade has an after taste that just don't agree with me and I dont get any blueberry flavor. Other than Artic Blueberry I still havent found anything else that I can vape day in day out. Going to order a few more fruity juices this week.

Blueberry Lemonade was the worst juice I've received from Jugheads, such a weird perfume-y taste. Sinful Pear is probably my favourite from him.

Greetings it's the 'entitled' 'douche canoe'! :lol:

A couple of points, were it not profitable to distribute and resell items there would be no stores online or B&M. There would only be manufacturer direct sales.

If a store that knows when it is busy and when it is not chooses to under staff, I refuse to reward them under employing their part time staff by standing in line for an extended period of time to increase their profit margin. I don't consider that 'entitled' but I am a free man and refuse to patronize an establishment that has so little regard for my free time. When 2 tills are open 5 or 6 customers deep and 6 tills are closed, I consider that an insult to the customer. If all of the tills are open and there are still line ups the store is most likely packed (think Christmas shopping) and I have a choice of knowing I will wait or to leave and pick a less busy time to shop.

I happen to know a cashier who works at a major chain grocery store. She explained to me how management went about their cutbacks concerning cashier wages. If 8 cashiers sold xxxx dollars per hour they could save 25% of cashier wages if they could get 6 cashiers to ring up the same amount. Customers became snarly because of the wait and this in turn made shifts more difficult for the remaining cashiers. Due to customers changing store the volume at the store in question drops to xxxx - 20% per hour and the management decides that 6 cashiers are too many and drops it to 5 cashiers. Wash, rinse repeat...

I don't remember exactly where I read the statistic but the average north american spends about 2 years of their life standing in line. I would prefer that some retail establishments didn't try to get more than their fair share. Some stores seem to think that the whole 2 years belongs to them and them alone.

So if not being willing to donate my time to a retailer to increase their profit margin makes me an 'entitled' 'douche canoe' I'll wear that title with pride. How are you willing slaves doing?;)

BTW it would also appear that I have hurt the feelings of some loyal Jugheads customers and if so I would like you to point out where I insulted Jughead? I said little more than I do not fit in his business model and if it works for him, all the power to him. It's obvious that he has more customers than he can handle and it is working for him so Jughead, keep doing what you are doing. It's working!
