The trick is to either be really good at the lying, launder your corruption through enough loopholes and channels that it can't be definitively traced back to you, have enough friends/family/allies in power with you that nothing ever gets done about you, or kick enough bennies to your constituents that they don't mind you skimming a little off the top because they got their cut.

I think the only time I've heard the "dole" in North America besides the fruit company is in labour ballads from the past century. Where it's treated as hard-won and well-deserved. Then again, the people posting this poo poo probably think Franklin Roosevelt was the worst and most communistest president and not the best, so I don't think I'm coming at them from the same angle.

That guy is right tho u can just walk out. Those yellow vests cant stop you. When I was poorer i used to just steal whole carts of stuff and when the LP guys tried to flag me id just ignore them. They dont get paid enough to follow me to the lot and we both knew. This was b4 they posted cops outside 24/7. Wonder why that happened.

Their dream is this shopping experience: The Customer walks into a store and are confronted by several humans coming up to them, asking if The Customer needs help. The Customer engages the services of one of these humans who then walks around with The Customer; helping them find things and take items off the shelf, while having an in depth conversation with The Customer about The Customer's life. After this The Customer takes these items to the checkout where another human scans all the items for them, while having an in depth conversation with The Customer about The Customer's life. While the items are being scanned, another human puts them in bags. Specifically, single-use bags provided by the store. Once the items are scanned and The Customer has paid for everything and received a heartfelt thank-you from the cashier for their business, the human who bagged The Customer's items puts them into their cart, pushes The Customer's cart to their large SUV, and unloads those bags into the SUV for them, all while having an in depth conversation with The Customer about The Customer's life. Afterwards this human smiles widely and gives The Customer a heartfelt thank-you for their business, then returns to the store, where they presumably live. The Customer starts up their vast, boatlike SUV, and navigates it to the exit of the parking lot, bathed in the warm sunlight of God thanking them for their business.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Their dream is this shopping experience: You don't need to be a brain-wormed boomer to realize that the current state of retail is not great. Like they're wrong about the why and how but they are correct that the status quo does suck. Companies continue to slash labor to the bone year after year and make things miserable for both their employees and their customers. There are a lot of mid 50s fat white guys with weird ideas about "customer service" but actual customer service does loving suck almost everywhere.

Back when we were a real nation there would be a guy whose job it was to go to your house and drop off milk on the front porch for you to enjoy with dinner, fresh from the store every day. Unfortunately the profession died out due to constant sexual harassment.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Their dream is this shopping experience: You're supposed to post the content not be the content. Just because people don't want to be treated like a criminal because businesses are too cheap to hire enough staff to ring up their purchases properly doesn't mean they're some wanna-be aristocrat demanding slaves to carry them around the store in a sedan-chair. Not wanting to stand in yet another line for someone to ensure you're not stealing after you just waited in line and took the time to ring up your stuff is a pretty reasonable complaint

You joke but this is kinda coming back with curbside pickup. The shop's inventory already exists so they just make it available online, you go to their website and create a list of everything that you need, enter in your credit card info, an employee who already knows exactly where everything is takes a big cart around that can hold several people's groceries at once and collects them simultaneously, then you show up to the store and collect your groceries at a scheduled time. Vastly more efficient for everyone, not exactly sure why I'm supposed to hate it.

There's about 20 different events through the year that are something to do with Jesus directly, and you can observe as many or as few as you wish. You might have to chant in Latin or Greek and wave a censer around rather than getting irate at retail clerks for saying happy holidays though.

The grocery store I go to has someone on the door to check receipts of anyone who walks by that looks like they didn't buy what they have in their hand. Except the proof is that you have a plastic bag for your stuff. Incidentally they have also just installed self check outs that are basically stand up kiosks that you can only check out a small number of small things on. So if you don't want to get harassed and made to stand around while they paw through your purchases then you need to take the single bagged loaf of bread that you have and put it in a new plastic bag, which grants you passage. Alternatively just bring one of their plastic bags with you to the store and shoplift. By and by these new kiosks are right in front of the door guard. They look at you while you check out. But no bag means no passage.

VitalSigns posted:You joke but this is kinda coming back with curbside pickup. One thing that can gently caress that up is that you have to rely on the store having an accurate inventory. When I worked at a big retail pet store, in store pickup could be a real nightmare because I was working in a store with high shrink and working conditions that made it nearly impossible to keep even a weekly inventory up to date. At our store, ISP was a nightmare of extra work for floor staff who were given a bunch of extra poo poo to do on top of all the other stuff they already didn't have time to do.
