Proteus Jones posted:Yeah, I kept looking for the "That's not who I am" as well. I have a microscopic flicker of hope that this causes her some introspection (but probably won't). This article from the NY Post actually has some quotes that show that she already admitted that that is exactly who she is. My favorite is this: quote:“I’m in the South now, bitch,” Barber continued. “So everyone can f–k off. I’m from New Jersey, so I can say n—-r as much as I want.”

hawowanlawow posted:lmbo at demanding free poo poo when a fast food place fucks up your order I was going through the self-serve checkout at the supermarket earlier and the tiny little old lady next to me had to call an assistant because her bags of fruit and vegetables were all coming up with the wrong prices when she was trying to scan them in. For some reason she was sure they should all be at least half of what they usually cost per kg or even lower so the assistant got another employee to run and check the marked prices on each of them and yep, she was completely right. It turns out that some other employee was swapping over the fruit displays and had removed all the previous specials and reloaded those boxes with different produce but hadn't changed the signs yet (which just show the prices) and this little old lady just so happened to gather up large bags of everything that was accidentally underpriced and then raced to the register before anyone changed the signs. The assistant tried to explain to her that the prices had accidentally been mixed up but she started making noises about the store trying to rip her off so they just let her have everything at the incorrect lower prices. A few days ago I overheard a different customer arguing with an employee at the same supermarket. He wanted to buy a certain item but there weren't any on the shelf so he'd apparently asked the employee to check and see if they had any "out the back" and the employee had given him some explanation about how he was sure there wasn't any "out the back" but unfortunately for him this customer had previously asked a different employee to check and that other guy had found the item he wanted "out the back" which of course now meant that every time an employee told him they were out of something he immediately assumed they were lying to him. As they walked past me the customer was saying ".... and please don't ever lie to me again" in the smuggest fuckin' tone I've ever heard. The schadenfreude is on people who work in supermarkets.

During my stint in retail, we generally knew which items weren't going to be found in the back. This doesn't deter some people from demanding you check, so I would just go in the back room and stand around for a minute or so before announcing that no, we didn't have any left. Admittedly, a retail front at the mall is a lot smaller than a supermarket.

My favorite is this: I grew up in the next town over from where she is from, I lived in her town for seven years or so, I have a lot of family currently living in that town. There's a certain percentage of people who are like that. I don't know why she would go to Alabama for college though, especially with all of that Jersey Pride - which is kinda funny because no one in South Jersey has that because Jersey Pride is a North Jersey thing, except when you're out of state. It seems like she thought people in the South are racists and she was going there to be with her own. Really weird.

Larry Nassar, former USA Gymnastics doctor who used his position of power to molest over 100 women including minors, complained to a judge that he wouldn't be able to handle victim-impact statements at his sentencing. The judge replied with the legal equivalent of "tough poo poo." Judge Aquilina shuts down Larry Nassar's complaints of stress, 'media circus' quote:Prosecutors said this morning that they expect 105 women and girls to give statements. The number has grown daily since they announced last week 88 women and girls would speak out, either in person, by letter or in video.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The schadenfreude is on people who work in I worked for a big-box retailer (fine, it was Target) in my 20s, and as a general rule, there was no "out the back." Anything we had of a given item was normally already on the shelf. But oh no, customers were certain we were hiding things "out the back." It's even worse for people who work at Lowes or Home Depot, because they literally have no stockrooms. The store itself is the stockroom, so if you don't see it, they don't have it.

Maybe that policy has changed, but like I said I don’t go there anymore at all. The reality of the situation is much less exciting than the make believe tantrum you had in your head.

I assumed he was taking my old burger away so I tried to ask "Oh... you don't need to throw that one away, I'm pretty hungry or my friend could eat it, no need to waste food..." and he made a show of throwing it in the trash. This was like a 40 year old man. It was a weird experience and was my first and last fast food order in like 10 years.

A common hustle at fast food places is to grab a recent receipt off the ground or from a table and walk up and say they missed something from your order and you want that single item. Then you get that item for free.

My time is more valuable than the $4 burger someone may or may not have forgotten to put in my bag. If it happens more than once at the same place I just go to one of the other dozens of fast food joints that won't forget things in my order. but I'm sure it feels good to exercise power over the fast food people who dared wrong you, so you do you

I've done pretty much the opposite. Long day at work, back when I was working a lovely retail job, I was exhausted and frustrated and in no mood to cook, I stopped at Burger King on my way home. Stop at the speaker, give them my order (A Whopper, back in the days of the dollar Whopper, and a soda). Pull up to the window, hand the cashier my money. Accept my change from the cashier. Drive away. Get home, realized I missed an important step.

Here's something that's on topic. It's a compilation of speedrunners screwing up their speedruns. There is a narrator to explain what is supposed to happen and what actually happens, so it should be enjoyable even if you aren't into speedrunning, or video games in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdI4wEIY8ik EDIT: Highlights include: 0:36 where a guy accidentally drops a motorcycle on an important character. 2:52 where a runner lost a great run by screwing up the last, easiest part of the run. 5:48 where the world's best Super Mario Bros speedrunner totally screws the pooch in front of a crowd, including the creator of Mario. Ariong has a new favorite as of 21:05 on Jan 18, 2018 |

In the UK people ASSUME thats what the law is, but it totally isnt. If I remember right the actual law is you have to either sell it to them at the price on the shelf or immediately fix the mistake on the shelf. So if an offer is ended but they forgot to take one of the signs down or something the shop are totally within their rights to say "No, sorry, that offer expired yesterday" as long as they take the incorrect sign down. Obviously the customer is under no obligation to buy it at the correct price. Most shops will give it to you for the incorrect, lower, price, but thats a PR/customer service thing, not the law. It makes sense when you think about it; A convenience store eating a loss selling you oranges at lemon prices or whatever isnt a massive deal, but a car dealership where a zero is left off the end of the price by accident would be taking a huge loss if they had to honour the incorrect price. You'd be amazed (presuming you've never worked with the public, otherwise you will be entirely unamazed) how many people would gently caress with displays (moving price labels, swapping stickers and so on) to try and take advantage of the entirely made up "law" that said we'd have to accept whatever it said on the shelf. I'm not sure if its true, but we had security for a while after a couple of robberies and one of them told me that technically you get in less legal trouble for shoplifting a small item than you would for moving a "reduced!" sticker from a different item to it and paying the new, fake, price (which is considered fraud).
