Slylock Fox  I swear Slylock has copies of his detective certificate in every room in his house. It's not really deterring these constant break ins, Slylock. Maybe you ought to consider taking them down because it apparently just assures the criminal that he has the right house. Moose and Molly  Molly woke Moose up at 11 am and spent an hour 15 minutes to tell him what chores needed to be done at which point Moose ate breakfast. Ok.

Gil I'm surprised this was allowed in any papers. Retail  This exact joke was done just this past year, and I'm sad to admit that I apparently pay more attention to this comic than Retail's actual fanbase who eat this poo poo up and act like this is brand new. You could probably just recycle strips in perpetuity and engagement would be unaffected. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Why isn't there an entire clone army of Refurbs again? Dustin  "Like berating my son. I have to make sure he knows how much of a failure he is." On the Fastrack  It's one of those games that gets rereleased all the time and ported for every imaginable system. And I've still never played it. Heaven's Love Thrift Shop  Seriously. Unless the problem is bad beans, in which case it probably can't be helped.

Midnight Moth posted:Retail I guess we're meant to side with the staff on this one, but no, gently caress you. I walk into a shop and before I've had a chance to look around some staff member is asking me if I need help. Well, I don't know yet, do I? Give me a moment. And then once I've had a look, if I didn't find what I needed, I look around for a staff member, and where the hell did you all go? I like shops that have an information counter. That way if I need help I know where to get it and if I don't then I'm not bothered. And you don't even need a counter, just a staff member at a clearly labelled location so I can find them. I understand if it's a small place that doesn't have the staff for that, but bigger places do, and seem to use their resources in the worst possible way, hassling everyone who comes through the door and having no one available to help customers already in the shop. I guess greeting people who come in is supposed to be friendly or something, but it's annoying. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to buy some poo poo I need and leave as quickly as possible with the absolute minimum of interaction with other people. Midnight Moth posted:On the Fastrack You're not missing much. When it came out on PC I played it with my dad and brother, and we had a lot of fun with it. But we didn't have the internet or a computer that could handle many games. These days I'd probably spend ten minutes trying to play it properly, ten minutes with a walkthrough, and then 30 seconds looking up the ending and then never touch it again.

Evil Mastermind posted:Hopefully I don't come off like defending Holbrook too much here, but you'd be amazed how much trouble you can get into if you work a sales floor and don't ask every customer if they need help. It might be different nowadays then when I was doing it years ago, but it was considered "good customer service" at the time because otherwise someone might have to wait! It's not so much good customer service as it is loss prevention. Companies have done a lot of research and found that customers who see employees walking around and actively engaging with them/other shoppers are less likely to shoplift. It also costs a lot less to pay someone minimum wage to annoy customers and feel like a jackass who knows customers will complain about him or her on the internet than it is to pay for some sort of security system or guard. Basically, gently caress retail companies.

Tiggum posted:
Aside from the loss prevention stuff people mentioned, it's also a performance metric. Before my company recanted, they enacted a policy where every sales associate had to engage every customer, ask them what they wanted, take them to the product (whether they insisted you didn't or not), and ask them about the project they were working on. Management had to make sure everyone was doing it, secret shoppers were sent out every week, and you could get punished or even fired if you slipped up just once. It was crazy and thankfully customer complaints (as well as lowered productivity from having to baby everyone that came in) got it changed. If you don't like being hounded, there's probably a survey on your receipt you can take at every chain store. The corporate offices listen to those and employees hate reading off those committee-written speeches to everyone more than you hate having everyone bug you with it.

Stark is so done with this bullshit. Prince Valiant     Juliet Jones  Phantom Classic  Big Ben Bolt  Sunday Ben Bolts wrap up quick! Such a huge contrast to the daily ones where it takes practically forever for anything to happen.

Is this really the way ZNJ was published, or are we just not getting chunks we should be getting in one sitting? It's the way it was published. I'm not skipping comics, either, so there's not really any excuse for it to be so disjointed. I was watching this movie the other day, The Long Goodbye. The basic premise is that they took this established noir detective, Phillipe Marlowe, removed him from the usual dark and smoke filled 1950s setting, and plopped him right into the bright and cheery 1970s. The end result is that he's extremely out of place, and even though he's good at his job, he comes off as being this complete schlub. Once you removed the mystique, you could see that he's just this guy who's constantly chainsmoking and who always has this cheap suit on. That's what really gets me about ZNJ, they have a good idea but they refuse to ever do anything interesting with it.
