Reply to comment by SafariNZ in TIL about Lillan Bloodworth, who donated blood every 56 days for nearly 50 years. By the time she stopped at age 85, she had donated 23 gallons. (The average person's body contains about 1.5 gallons.) by WouldbeWanderer
What's ironic is that a treatment for iron being too high is to draw blood!

They don't restrict anybody. BUT, you do need to sign up for a membership, which costs a little money. In reality most people make that back in gas savings , $1.50 hot dogs and $5 rotisserie chickens.
Aside from the benefits people have already mentioned, in the current climate, having people not able to anonymously come into your store and steal things is a great benefit for them. I would imagine their theft rate is at least an order of magnitude below other big box stores. They treat their employees and customers well, and because of that the customers and employees treat them well in return.

Yeah, it's pretty wild when you put a Map of Europe against North America. The gulf stream and Mediterranean do a lot.

Reply to LPT: If you work an office job, save your time off for non-holiday seasons by supermagicpants
Exactly. I managed two people with younger kids, so by me covering the holidays they could take family time off. I use the week between Xmas & New Year's to clean out my inbox and hopefully start out the year with it empty. Currently rewriting some code onto a new system, and having full days with no interruptions are priceless!

Reply to ELI5:A child causes a wagon to accelerate by pulling it with a horizontal force. newton's third law says that the wagon exerts an equal and opposite force on the child. how can the wagon accelerate? by Gbo_the_beast
If they were on a frictionless surface, such as an ice rink, they would simply get pulled closer together. Since the child's feet are on the ground they have a lot of friction, so they don't move, whereas the wheels roll with little friction. If you replaced the wheels with cinder blocks, the wagon wouldn't move.

Not that impressive. I'm up to about 19 gallons and she has 30 years on me. Where I used to donate there were a lot of ex-military people which let them donate every 4 weeks instead of every 8 weeks and the Red Cross would have printouts of the high donors and many were over 40 gallons.
