when i worked for the gap i would show up 5-10 minutes late every day (still do at the office) and the store manager kept bring it up "why were you late cumshitter?" "i couldnt find parking" "why not park in the structure?" "because theres no employee parking and paying for it means i work an hour for free" *manager walks away* that parking structure became very important months later when some girl was stabbed walking home from the Grove (a big tourist mall in LA) to where she had parked in some residential area. all of the managers from the various stores went to a big meeting with the people who owned the grove and they came up with a solution to the whole "employee was stabbed" problem: everyone used the buddy system to walk back to their car. still no employee parking to this day.

Worst thing I dealt with in food service: teenagers coming in a group of a dozen+, all ordering frappuccinos, all drinking them, all demanding second fraps for free because we didn't make them right, all getting what they wanted because the customer is always right. If you're wondering 'wow, 30 frappuccinos in like 10 minutes, what does that do to the rest of the queue?' Here's the answer: loving destroys it and creates 30 minute wait times for drinks that should usually take 2. We'd get calls from corporate every week because we weren't frapping fast enough, but if we turned the teenagers away, then they'd complain to the manager about how we made their drinks wrong and wouldn't make them over again. No win.

Chokes McGee posted:head on over to the Self Pub thread in Creative Connection. most of those guys are speed romance but there's pretty much no reason to seek a major publisher these days I checked it out and it seems pretty slow these days aside from the bitcoin guy selling a lot more copies than he expected. I didn't see much talk about avoiding major publishers, though I only read the first page and then the last five pages. Clearly going into print with a publisher they'll take a massive cut of your sales, but wouldn't that be made up via volume? It seems like most self-publishers are lucky if they manage to pull in more than $10,000 a year.

Al! posted:i made a lil money selling my artwork last night, i was thinking about buying destiny 2 for PC, is it any good? I'm in the minority but I think Destiny 2 is a shitpile. The story is insultingly hollow. The story kicks off with everybody becoming mortal, then the player becomes immortal again in literally the second mission, removing any sort of urgency or emotional involvement in the stakes. The antagonist is a stereotypically evil dude who is evil because he's evil. They throw a doomsday device into things 2/3 of the way through because I guess the stakes of losing immortality aren't high enough, I guess. The "endgame" is the most transparent loot grind I've ever seen in a game. Which would be fine--I personally like a good grind--but the insult to injury here is that the gear is painfully boring. Defense, 3 stats which go up to 10... even the interesting loot, exotics, which have some situational/ability perks attached to them, are limited in that you can only equip one at a time. There is literally 1 new enemy added from Destiny 1. It's a dog. I think I may hate Destiny 2, and I feel like a dope for buying it. edit: also the Clan Roster and Clan Chat have been broken for over a week. Think about that. A "AAA" game without clan chat on week 1.
