4:43 pm
do you think in other lines of work? >> of course, that may be a good thing, but but for us, i mean, we need to be on call because news breaks, weather changes, you know, all kinds of things happen that need us on the job. and. right. so i'm okay with that. >> yeah. >> they would call me during my off hours. >> okay. be careful what you wish for, spencer. you know, they make the exception for emergencies. >> but, you know, like some folks in tech, they are always going 9:00, 10:00 at night. give it a break. >> but if you are going to get more money for it, you know, like, okay, well, i'll work extra, you know, like that. not against that. >> it's never more money. come on. >> okay, so maybe you want to keep a close eye on the cash register next time you shop at target or safeway? because they're taking too much of your money. apparently, price inspectors, they found several target and safeway bay area stores that have overcharged customers above the posted price. customers at a novato safeway were found paying $1 extra for items like soap, coffee, oreos. not the first time it's happened either. as sfgate reports, both retailers
4:44 pm
have paid penalties for overcharging in the past. we know it's so tough for people just to make ends meet. inflation is at an all time high, and to hear that the chains these big chains are overcharging you. this is wild, spencer. >> how has that happening? is does that mean that the price you're charged at the when you're checking out is different, is higher than the posted price on the aisle? exactly. that's that's crazy. >> you know, i feel like i would personally fall for this because i don't actually check every time that somebody's ringing whatever i'm buying. but we have to now after seeing this, i mean, you have to double check. >> yeah, i do my best to check, but sometimes it just goes so fast i can't keep up. now, if i see something, i'm like a hawk. >> and their workers are so nice. you're just talking to them. you're just having a good time. >> maybe we'd pay closer attention at self-checkout, right, yeah, that's a good point. >> yeah, yeah. >> then you're eyeing it. but you're also going a little slow. >> yeah. that's true. >> well, you could face a time limit the next time you head to

a fast food restaurant. some restaurants are putting up signs to impose time limits for eating. the intent is to speed up customer turnover and prevent people from hanging out at the restaurants all day. people on reddit are posting photos of the new trend. while some applaud the move, others expressed concerns about potential discrimination against certain groups, such as the homeless community. hey, let's be honest, mcdonald's has been doing this for years. they just make it uncomfortable to sit there and then you have to leave. julian. >> what do you mean? the chairs are uncomfortable enough. >> the idea is to get them in, they eat and they're uncomfortable, and they leave. >> you know, a lot of sit down restaurants since the pandemic. when you reserve your table, they'll let you know you have this table for an hour and a half or two hours. so i guess it's kind of a sign of the times. spencer. >> yeah, i think it really is. i wish it would apply to more coffee shops, chains, wherever people go in and get one, you know, cappuccino, and they're there for three hours doing other stuff. >> the wi-fi. yep. yeah. >> i wonder if you can buy something and then you, you know, you pay for that and then you buy something else and you just like, keep extending that.
4:46 pm
>> yeah. you could do that. >> as long as you're still giving them some money, that'll probably be okay with you, right? >> yep. >> i don't have a problem with time limits, though. i really i mean, again, spencer made the great point. three hours for one coffee. yeah. come on. >> don't you see that often? right. oh for sure. >> yeah. people come for the coffee, stay for the wi-fi. right a list of companies looking to cash in on next week's total eclipse keeps getting longer and longer. so far, we have krispy kreme and oreo. they're teaming up on a donut cookie creation. you're looking at them right here. a sonic drive in. they are selling a blackout slush float. wow. sunchips oh, those are good. they've unveiled a new flavor that will only be available during the event, and airlines including southwest and delta, they are advertising a clip viewing flight paths. i guarantee you those are already sold out. but this eclipse can be big business. >> yes. so yeah, it certainly can. >> i mean, our our data producer upstairs, lindsey, she's going to arkansas next week. say she won't stop talking about it. and it's great. it's really exciting. as for the meals that
