Built to Serve: How to Drive the Bottom Line with People-First Practices
A while back, Web Watch wrote about whether the EXPRESS LANE would be faster than a REGULAR LANE at the supermarket, based on the number of people you had to wait in line behind.
Some additional analysis has been done on the optimum supermarket (or large chain store) checkout practices, and you may be suprised at what they found: THE LANE YOU CHOOSE TO WAIT ON WILL INVARIABLY TAKE LONGER THAN OTHERS.
Roll of Blue Raffle Tickets: Keep This Ticket
Every year, the question comes up regarding how to properly do a gift exchange at holiday time.
Whether you call it a DIRTY SANTA, WHITE ELEPHANT, YANKEE SWAP, CHINESE AUCTION or something else, the basic concept is the same: everyone brings a gift, throws it into the pile, and then they get distributed out in some random manner, with stealing gifts from other people allowed to some degree.
Web Watch is here to present the OFFICIAL RULES FOR GIFT EXCHANGING that we’ve perfected over the years at our own shindigs. These rules work for us — they should work for you, too.

About 20 years ago, Web Watch was lucky enough to attend a Toys for Tots benefit event, where each new, unwrapped toy allowed you to hop onto a beaten-up school bus with 40 other people and a keg of beer, and drive all over the countryside looking at the area’s craziest Christmas light displays for an hour.
Along the way, the bus driver got lost in the boonies, and the 60-minute scheduled trip ended up taking three hours (requiring an extra stop at a late-night liquor store for additional road supplies and a much-needed bathroom stop). Needless to say, we did our own Tacky Light Tour the following year with much better success at getting home on time.
Fast-forward 20 years, and we can see how the Internet has really changed things dramatically when it comes to viewing Christmas light displays.
If you’re into listening to a customized playlist based on a core set of your own personal favorite artists, give LAST.FM a try.

And looking at who made the top of LAST.FM’s chart, Web Watch doesn’t disagree — we find these top artists to have put out some quite entertaining music this year.
