Non Compos Mentis posted:is stealing from a library a federal crime? we've had people come in and do poo poo that was 100% illegal, and our boss has waved it way. We then had this (pretty cool, i speak to him a bit) black guy come in drunk (tipsy, able to walk and hold a conversation) and not only were the police called, but they showed right the gently caress up to get rid of this 'dangerous black man'. Cops asked if we had any of his information, i replied, nope, we are in no position to give you any of that information. boss jumps into the system and gives them his name address which is a straight up violation of privacy and even our very own code of conduct. I reported the violation to her boss, and got a, i will have a chat with her, as a response. So, if you are black, gently caress yeah, that will be a federal crime. If you arent black, no one in management gives a poo poo. (we've had a customer pour water over a public computer- destroying it and shorting the whole set on that breaker- because staff dared to tell them they arent allowed food or drink near the computers, and they got a verbal warning not to do it again.) Yes we do have a massive staff turn over, why do you ask?

That was quite the storm that rolled through. No Hail thankfully but heavy rain and lots of lightning for sure. Edit: the severe thunderstorm warning and the detailed warning weren't issued until after the storm had started.

I ended up with covid while on holidays but I think I landed the best case scenario: 1. Super mild case, feels like a cold with a bit more fatigue 2. Still milked it and spent a whole day in bed playing ToTK 3. Got to swap my annual leave for sick leave 4. Boss said don't bother getting a medical certificate

Visited a friend for tea and we went down to the Coles supermarket in Waurn Ponds near Geelong to pick up ingredients*. Rather than just walking out once you've paid, they have a goddamn gate which opens once you walk up to it. Never seen a gated exit in a supermarket in my life. Literally every register funnelled into a little walkway with a gate at the end, no way around it. And it seems they don't have a regular motion sensor, they've got some AI system which recognises faces. Unless you were the three African ladies in front of us that is. In which case, no. I had to wave my face in front of the gate so they could get out. I've heard about poo poo like this going on with tech bros in the US (and in the series Better Off Ted, where my old gang tag is from) but I never expected to see it The gently caress are they trying to use it for? Illegally detaining people they suspect of not paying? That's just a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. * but mostly biscuits.

Jumpsuit posted:I ended up with covid while on holidays but I think I landed the best case scenario: I got it at a party… a month and a half ago? The first day of symptoms was the worst I have ever felt in my entire life. Couldn’t get out of bed, extremely cold, then extremely hot and dehydrated, and after that I could never get to the right temperature. All the while I was having bad delirious dreams whilst all I could hear was a really horrifying song. Oh and I couldn’t eat anything and water tasted like nails. But then after that I was completely fine. Stayed home a few days, got a medical certificate, and went back to life like nothing ever happened.

Yeah they have been popping up in places by comments I have seen around the internet tubes. It's a 'theft mitigation system' because price gouging and cost of living sky-rocketing apparently means people need to steal to eat food or have basic necessities. Apparently they are just magnetic locked so you can literally shove them open if needed. But yes, not a fan of this dystopia timeline.

Having two adults working and one stay-at-home would be great. My wife and I occasionally wonder who we could add to the marriage, purely for the financial clout.

Don't necessarily need to steal to survive, but gently caress Woolies and Coles. Gonna steal for the principle.

When I worked retail 30 years ago, and I confirmed this today with a friend who still does, we were always taught to never try to detain a shoplifter. Not to try to touch them or lock the door. Because it was a crime and you were the one who would end up arrested. And probably sued. Guessing Coles ran the numbers and decided they could make more money this way than they'd lose in lawsuits. Don't know what would happen to any staff members who get involved in it and I'm guessing Coles doesn't care.

Staff members will get hosed over and then fired which is standard practice I imagine. Woolworths stole enough from me in unpaid wages so I think it's fair game if you all take a slice back.

Weeds are starting to pop up all over and the storms keep stopping me from getting them all ripped out. Plus side is I don't have to water the plants again.

It’s probably still the same and if you vault the gate and run for the exit they won’t bother stopping you, it’ll be part of an effort to make theft seem harder and deter it that way

Ate the first apricots from the tree we planted in May, they're really nice, looking forward to having way more than we know what to do with. Missus just made 30 jars of plum jam from one of her dad's trees. We don't really eat jam

I reckon maybe people don't eat as much jam as they used to. When our fig starts fruiting nobody else is getting a look in. I'll be out there every morning scoffing those bastards.

Not to try to touch them or lock the door. A mate of mine ran after a thief from his store, the manager from a neighbouring store also took up pursuit. Manager of the other store used to be a bit of a big deal in his day in AFL. Tackled the thieving oval office perfectly in the carpark. Then my mate caught up, smashed his face in enough to end up in hospital for broken hand and wrist. Then they dragged him back to the store for the cops to turn up. Sat him on a chair in the middle of the showroom all bloody. It was amazing to see happen. Cops didn't give two flying fucks about the illegal detaining. And the thief wasn't even a minority or crack head, a damned whitebred coal miner with all the money. Didn't need to thieve, just doing typical miner poo poo.

Just can't eat that much jam. The neighbours gave us 2 fig jams in return so our net position on jam is now positive from where we started
