Evil Mastermind posted:Although my boss at the time would slot pretty well into the Retail-verse; he'd do things like open the store half-and-hour to an hour late, then adjust the system time on the computer we used to "punch in" so it'd look like he was on time. Despite the fact that the mall management would notice that the store was opening an hour late and report that to the DM. And he managed to do this more than once? And keep his job?

^^^^^^^^ Yeah, really. All it takes is a couple corroborating narcs from customers to sink that ship. ^^^^^^^^^Midnight Moth posted:I did live through the "retail experience". I worked as a pharmacy cashier at a high volume CVS and pretty much rang up customers non stop through my whole shift. There was no downtime. So when I see some jackass like Cooper screwing around on the roof or building box robots on his shift and even getting promoted for it, it pisses me off. Evil Mastermind posted:See, when I was at the video game store, we had a different kind of "no downtime" since we weren't tied to the register. So if there were no customers then you had to fix displays/price things/etc. I worked retail in a bakery in a mall, then floor sales in a bike shop, and then I worked counter in a video store (before the days of Blockbuster). Honestly, as long as the stores weren't busy, or we talked one of the other sales-folk to cover for us, we found plenty of time to gently caress off and get away with it. But yes unlike Midnight Moth, I was never "tied to a register". Plus, I started my IT career at the video store (I wrote their POS system in from scratch in RPG II), so there were multiple excuses I could use to get me out back to smoke. "Hey, I'm going back to check on the server", "Hey, there's some weird network traffic I gotta look at, brb", and the classic "It's compiling"...

I mean, why not just apply these to Solange instead of a new cat?

Mr. Noseybonk posted:And he managed to do this more than once? And keep his job? Because not only were the mall managers telling the district manager, not only were customers calling the main office and asking why the store was closed or opening an hour late, he was also changing the system clock on the POS computers that we also used to clock in and out. Unfortunately (for him) he didn't realize that the system logged (internally and on paper) any system changes. So there was an official audit and there were a lot of daily logs that started like this: code:You would not believe some of the stories (good and bad) I have about that place. They make Retail look tame.

You don't need an absolutely strict definition of what makes a sandwich, you can just say that a burrito is culturally distinct enough to not count. Six Chix  Zippy the Pinhead  Nancy  Arlo and Janis  Wee Pals  Andertoons  Lost Side of Suburbia   Zachary Nixon Johnson  Dick Tracy  Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz  Something tells me the author doesn't know anything about computers, either.

Either the first or second one somebody posted, another goon genuinely believed it was an edit. More than one I'd bet, given that the original even had the typo too.

Scary Gary Since I'm only carrying this until Drimble Wedge comes back, I was thinking of posting Over the Hedge and whatever Go Comics throws up of Cow and Boy as well for the long-term (or until I get tired of it). Any objections? I know Over the Hedge doesn't have the greatest jokes, but I do kinda like the stylized art, and Cow and Boy always makes me laugh even if the art is somewhat static, so it'd balance out in a weird way.

Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz  I actually managed to figure this one out without reading the solution, but I do love the fact that it requires that none of them have any savings whatsoever. And apparently they get paid monthly. And the thief just withdrew the stolen money and has been holding onto $200,000 in cash.

Tiggum posted:I don't even know how to respond to this. How is that even relevant? She's in the bath and doesn't want to be disturbed so she locked the door. That's just a normal, reasonable thing to do no matter who it is you live with. What good would it even do him to get in there? That depends on how many bathrooms they have and/or if it's combined with the toilet. There are a lot of legitimate uses for a bathroom, some of them can't exactly 20min for someone to finish their bath. If you don't want anyone to see you, the shower curtain works even while bathing.

He's coming in there with a big ol' smile on his face, I'm sure you can figure it out. A closed door is already enough to show you want privacy, you'd only be locking it if you don't want somebody to walk in and see you.
