Why do so many people go shopping 2 hours before Shabbos?!?

Spoke to a grocery store manager recently. He said there are 3-4 hours on Friday where his store does 15% of its weekly business.

Assuming you mean groceries, I rarely do it, but when I do it feels very shabbos'dig

Nope, Friday. 50% of the business is Thursday & Friday, but 15% is in just in those 3-4 hours on Friday.

Exactly what I was referring to.

I'm not an expert, but I would imagine that closer to Shabbos, people are buying the ready-made food, which probably has a much higher markup.

Any monument supplier.

A family member recently got 2 for my grandparents from a place in BP called coleman monuments. The price included the names to be written on them, as well as installation.

Asking genuinely, what is the purpose of this "fix"? Is it assuming I didn't notice the pun and pointing it out? Is it saying I used the pun wrong and should have spelled it using the city name? if the latter why? IMHO, the spelling should be of the "chiddush" option of the pun, not the expected version. In that case it should be Nuuk. However on DDF, the greater chiddush is not a random city name, but rather the use of an English expression.

I absolutely did not see a pun there until @TzviR pointed it out.

oh wow. I guess I shouldn't assume anyone's mind would work anything like mine

Same.

[Yaalili]

oh wow. I guess I shouldn't assume anyone's mind would work anything like mine

I did see the pun and thought same as you

[TzviR]

oh wow. I guess I shouldn't assume anyone's mind would work anything like mine

Ok it sounds like this was resolved 


When I saw it I wasn't sure if it was intended or not so I was pointing it out, either as my chiddush or just pointing out yours that can be missed by many.

When the sentence belongs and makes 100% sense as is, Its hard to know if its intentional or not. Although now that I'm thinking about it, anything written by @Yehuda57 can probably be assumed that the joke was intended.
