Baronash posted:How is it that even with retail as an industry collapsing, a chain like Ross Dress for Less is not only still around, but growing? I've had the misfortune of wandering in to 2 of their stores, and I've never understood how they get by on a business model that seems to be "like a garage sale, except with a storefront." They are pretty cheap.

RuanGacho posted:Listen, guys, I need you to take this seriously so I know how to feel about vacancy taxes. It's a blight tax. Empty storefronts are bad for the neighborhood but landlords don't give a poo poo if they can afford to just sit on the empty space until a tenant with deep enough pockets comes along.

I remember reading a thing a while back about how you could order an entire "Irish pub" from a restaurant supply catalog and it would come complete with the right kind of furniture, decor, artwork, and everything else.

I work in an office full of civil engineers and basically anyone under the age of 30 can wear jeans and a tshirt, no problem. Anyone older than that tries it on a day when they aren't out in the field then they look weird. Jeans and polo or buttondown are basically the uniform now though. Also women definitely dress nicer on average.

Baronjutter posted:But then people won't know how much the GOVERNMENT is STEALING from you and won't be angry enough to constantly vote for anti-tax politicians and vote no on critical tax increases. Seconding this. When SF started requiring the restaurant industry to provide health care for employees, owners responded by adding an explicit surcharge for this on every bill.

It's always a shock when you order something from other websites and it takes a week to arrive because it ships from the other side of the continent instead of from a warehouse two towns away.

I missed the part about the mall location being announced and thought it was funny that you apparently can say "it might be the Party City store, or the Sears" and anyone in the state would know what you mean.

Baronjutter posted:I knew a family, firmly working class bordering on poor, that were extremely into christmas. Their definition of christmas shopping was that you were not done until all your credit cards were maxed out, so these guys would spend THOUSANDS a year on christmas then spend the rest of the year paying it off. There was some minor drama after their credit card got some sort of automated increase, which meant by the rules of christmas they needed to spend a thousand more to max out the card. It was hard on them, but they adjusted their lives to afford their new mandatory spending target. To not max out the card would be against the spirit of christmas, and trying to lower their limit back down would also be very scrooge-like. hosed up if true.

Typically chain restaurants are pretty explicit in allergen warnings and the product tends to be consistent.

boner confessor posted:they take that poo poo real seriously, it's Lawsuit Town. which is why it's so incredibly annoying for foodservice workers when someone says "I'm allergic to..." when what they really mean is "I don't like..." because having an allergen on a ticket includes extra work to have fresh pans etc. which is infuriating when someone says they're allergic to tomatoes, please leave tomatoes off the burger, then they put ketchup on the loving thing. or how a kajillion people somehow became allergic to gluten in 2007 and suddenly they're all concerned about the carb-soaked pasta being gluten free. if you can't eat gluten, dont come to a loving pasta joint aagh people On time I was at a korean restaurant and the waiter said to my date "if we give you the wrong kind of soy sauce are you annoyed or are we calling you an ambulance?"

re: pirating ebooks Is it my imagination or have kindle prices for new books jumped in the last year. Originally amazon made a big deal out of new books allways being $9.99, then $10.99 and $11.99 books started appearing gradually. In the last year or so it seems like newly-released books are allways in the $15-$17 range. That is definitely getting into the "better to just pirate it" range. Also ebooks should not cost the same as a new paperback. withak fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Jan 6, 2018 |

The Ars review asked one of the employees and they said that the rearrange of the shelves was for presentation, not for the tracking to work. The reviewer tried rummaging around and taking stuff from the back and couldnt fool it.

It's probably like banks where there is no expectation that a branch brings in enough sales to pay their rent, they are just there as huge billboards and the revenue comes from somewhere else.

A few years ago there was video showing that one of the dangerous & obnoxious dirt bike gangs tearing around San Francisco was led by off-duty cops from Marin. If someone on a dirt bike doesn't want to be caught and doesn't care about the safety of bystanders then there is literally nothing you can do to stop them aside from containment foam or rocket-launched cable nets or whatever.

I know a lot of civil engineers who went back to school for an MBA and they all became dicks who can't stop comparing every situation to some business case history that they read about. They all try to go back to being engineers ready to rocket up the management track but they all end up going to work in sales somewhere else.
