InediblePenguin posted:in my industry ppl are routinely paid minimum wage and promised "performance bases bonuses" which turn out to be based not on throughput or other measurable things which can actually be affected by the person, but on getting all 10s on customer surveys and if your average drops below 9 you get $0 so anyone who believes they were gonna get more than minimum wage was fooled lql. end surveys tbh and especially end using them as a metric to discipline employees Especially when the survey typically reflects on the last employee the customer interacts with when they often didn't even do or have any power over the thing the customer was mad about. Also last night a customer called my store that I side-gig at to complain that I refused to take a hundred-dollar bill for a 20 buck delivery because it's literally not allowed and I didn't have change for it anyway. Thanks to the owner for telling her to gently caress off cuz I don't wanna be going around carrying hundreds in cash in the middle of the night. People that identify as "customers" have a loving brain disease.

When I ask someone to do something and they agree to it but then ask me to remind them later to do it. gently caress you, I've done my part! It's now on you to remember to do it. You have a very nice and expensive phone in your pocket, put a reminder in there!

https://www.ispot.tv/ad/oXac/humira-body-of-proof-drums this commercial. You people aren't making those noises. The tambourine lady annoys me the most. Nobody gets that in to pretending to play a tambourine to distract everyone from the listing of the mountain of side effects. And that guitar guy in the back of the truck? A very punchable face. It's even more annoying than sunset heart hands. e: also what the gently caress is a "biologic". It's medicine. Stop trying tomake it sound like magic.

yeah I eat rear end posted:In most places produce has a number on it, not a barcode. It's not hard, you just put the things on the thing and type in the number and it weighs the things. Before they went with pictures and touchscreens, they had a sheet printed on a rotating cylinder at the counter with the produce name and number on it. So if the employee didn't know what fruit or nut it was, you got to tell them a cheaper version.

There's a lot of people like that in EMS, and I left the first place I ever volunteered at over it. The place I volunteer at now just fired one of the paid medics because he shared a neo-nazi political cartoon on facebook, so at least some agencies are willing to stamp that poo poo out like they should.

Medicine being biologic just means that the medicine is derived from or contains components of living things (like modified proteins and stuff like that). I get injected with Infliximab every six weeks for my Crohn's disease. Apparently it would cost me $5k+ for a visit if I lived in the US. Andrast has a new favorite as of 06:01 on Dec 6, 2019 |

Thanks to the owner for telling her to gently caress off cuz I don't wanna be going around carrying hundreds in cash in the middle of the night. People that identify as "customers" have a loving brain disease. Oh man, I had this to, back in the day, when I worked at a gas station, and we literally could not break 100s. Two salient circumstances come to memory: - a guy who always came in with a hundo, and I always told him that we couldn't do it (including a time when I told him my boss told me something that I wasn't comfortable with saying because it was kinda mean), sees I'm working, and scoffs off to preemptively bitch to my boss that I wouldn't take his 100. She responded with the same thing I thought was too mean: "sir, we're a gas station, not a bank." - another guy who I had to tell him I couldn't take his 100 for a 9.50 bill got really mad, storms off, and comes back a bit later, piling a pile of coins onto my table, telling me it's exact change. I was honest with him: "Sir, I know you did this to upset me, but our change machine is broken* and you have saved me a ton of headache at the end of the night! Thank you!". Cut to me being legitimately and genuinely happy as I spent the time counting it all out and confirming it was exact change. Which he didn't like, but couldn't do poo poo about. * A slight lie, but couldn't say it was the fact that my boss, once again, didn't go to the bank and refill our bills to change machine, so it was running super dry and I was low key panicking over not being able to make change for the rest of my shift.

It does seem like a term only doctors or people who use them would know off the top of their head, but I guess that's these commercials' target audience. It's not like they're trying to convince me to go take this drug I don't need so I can play the tambourine better.

A simple poll for anyone who regularly carries a purse, messenger bag, etc. -- which is worse: A) When you have your hands full of heavy grocery bags, and your purse or bag suddenly slips off your shoulder OR B) When you have your hands full of heavy grocery bags, and you feel your bag starting to slide off your shoulder, and you're not in a convenient place to put your groceries down and adjust the straps

Wear crossbody. Bonus: if ya got small tiddies it kinda helps make them pop if that's what ya want. But that's maybe just me. (both situations are awful but at least in B I can kinda awkwardly prop that shoulder up and walk hunchbacked into the house/car)

The Walmart I go to is almost all self checkouts, the scales are disabled because they never work, and there is never an employee looking at the checkouts instead of being stuck endlessly stocking shelves because there are like four people for the whole loving store. Punch in some vaguely believable numbers and go.

People that complain about anyone complaining about language. "It's just the local dialect!!" Okay... no poo poo. It's not like I'm traveling 1000 miles and then complaining that people talk funny. I've lived in the same region my whole life and I still hear things that sound stupid to me or are downright difficult for me to parse as a sentence.

Related: my boss will sometimes tell me to do things by simply writing “Thank you for [doing thing I haven’t done yet].” It’s not a passive-aggressive reminder — these are tasks I wouldn’t have known about till she told me — she just uses that language as a way to inform me she’s giving me something to do. But it’s not even phrased as “Thank you in advance,” which is strange, and I don’t like it. The worst way I’ve recently been given a task, though, is by being CCed on an email in which one person tells another person that I’ll be doing something. Take 5 seconds to nominally address me as a human being!

They were so bad about that theyd often end up having me work 10+ days in a row because neither side of the business communicated regarding my schedule. It was so infuriating.

People talking about like sub-38C/100F summer mean temperatures as "hot" and bitching about how people born in places where low 30s is "a mild summer" are dumb consumerists for using AC No one chooses to be born there and there are two sorts of places that hit those highs: rich enough for commonplace AC, or loads of kids and elderly just die every year. Your loving mediterranean rear end where it gets to 35 a few days a year and there's increasingly a yearly heat wave that keeps killing people is going to adopt AC soon enough, RIP our planet.

Why is it that nearly everything with an alarm/audio notification is like 2x as loud as it needs to be? My induction cooktop has some loud, shrill, piercing beeps. Every time it's turned on, off, or every time you adjust the heat up or down. Same with my noise cancelling headphones; you'd think with something that's noise cancelling, where some people might just wear them to get some nice peace and quiet, that the audio feedback wouldn't be so loud. If I turn them off without taking them off first, they go "  BEEP! POWER! OFF!!!  "And it's always so incredibly loud after a couple hours of noise cancelling + running a nice white noise machine in the background while working/focusing.

So when they ask if I can stay for 20 minutes longer, I say no I got things to do. I really like that part since the moment I do that they do a 180 and say that I must because of Yadda Yadda Yadda when it was initially optional.
