Starman Super DX posted:I hate that what people say to me or my coworkers has to be based on gender to some degree. It's incredibly stupid, I know, but I encounter a little of my own even as a dude. It's completely trivial, but it still annoys me and is real. Partially because we have a TV there (which I usually change the channel on as soon as I get the chance anyway), I get asked about the latest sports ball team updates. Why would I know? I don't watch sports. I have to explain this to people on a daily basis that I don't watch sports and if they're making me put a game on I'm not paying any attention. The girls who have worked in my position get asked this way, way less. It's a little insulting both ways, really. retail sucks but holy hell you sound like the gooniest loving goober someone shove this nerd in a fuckin' locker

hold hands at the park posted:I'm sure the customers are plenty annoying, but what about the work environment of retail jobs? 8+ hours under fluorescent lighting, ceiling tiles, looking at an endless stream of product packaging set to a soundtrack of beeps and bloops, loudspeaker announcements and the hum of voices. Hours and hours of lovely products streaming by on the conveyor belt: budlite Lime-a-Ritas, Nutter Butter Cookies, 12 Cupcakes for 4.99, plastic clamshells, plastic wrap, plastic bags, individually wrapped Hard-boiled eggs. Frozen pizza rolls! Zataran's Red Beans and Rice, Instant Box! How can you justify working in such an industry? What is going to happen to your mind when faced with that imagery all day? Your mind and your conscience will turn to poo poo. "frozen pizza rolls will rot your soul!" screams the fat goon into the void, convincing nobody with his Shakespearean protesting-too-much

Arven posted:PA was the opposite until very recently- you could only buy cases of beer. I think the logic was that selling six packs or individual bottles/cans promoted alcoholism. Because having a whole case of beer at your disposal will encourage you to drink less. how recently is very recently because in 2011 you could totally buy six packs, you just needed to buy them at a bar for carry out

Rutibex is an amazing poster because he does this super low-level trolling across multiple different subforums to the point where he's kinda famous for it in a few threads but he still manages to fly under the radar enough to get people really angry at him  e: same VVVV Rockman Reserve fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jul 31, 2017 |
