Not to harp on Nicodemus too much, but, didn't he die? I'd swear he got offed, Mrs. Frisby did that magic trick, then she gave the necklace to I think his name was Justin, and she and Dom DeLuise lived happily ever after. Not that it matters, this thing is now the Mr. Toad Story. He'd better be crashing into everything soon. Geech came back.

Midnight Moth posted:Retail Being pulled away from your work so that your boss can "amp you up" by telling you to do what you've already been doing all day, every day and then ask you what your CS goal is so you can barf out some trite company line instead of just say "I'm going to do what you told me to do and also help people find poo poo until my shift ends" is loving dumb and they're right to hate it. Cashiers have stats that can be monitored, but if you're working the sales floor the only criteria you're measured on is how quickly and efficiently you complete tasks; it's basically impossible to track your impact on sales as an individual. My company used to do this same sort of thing and not a single one ever worked because half the people in the group would be pulled away by customers because the store is already loving open. Not to defend the characters in "Retail." They're all garbage, but this "huddle time" poo poo is more corporate dart throwing to stave off the encroaching irrelevance of brick-and-mortar retail.

None of that crap happened in the book. Which probably has implications for Toad and Stuart Little, as well.
