The ads keep saying "kill her" yet she lives, why? Do her in, her time has expired.

You're fooling yourself if you think they are going to pass that savings along to you. Pretty much like the lower gas prices have not changed ticket prices with the airlines...

Do I want the actress who plays Flo to lose the best job she will probably ever have?

NO!

I can put up with a few seconds of minor irritation and just go to "Good for her!"

I'll support Tom Brady.

Flo needs to invest her earnings. This is probably the best gig she
will ever have. Acting is not her forte'

Saw one the other day where there was a family of various ages sitting in a livingroom,took me a few moments to realize Flo was playing all the characters.

I liked the older Flo commercials . This newer batch they can skip. Stupid!!

Kind of funny:

the comedian that plays Flo has a "small" list of friends on FB.

Flo the character has over 2 million "friends" on FB; or did a few years ago when I last checked...

Agree about the General and what was with his companion the penguin (where did he go)?
7 years of Flo is enough.
