In addition to pointing out they have aliens and star trek themed ones, these slot machines also feature progressive levling systems and some have daily log-in bonuses. There is no doubt in my mind that thousands if not millions of Americans would be broke in a week if we allowed online slot machinese in the US accessible by your phone.

I work in a CS call center, and yes, people easily spend hundreds of thousands of real money to buy tokens to play slots apps.

It's not gambling because the tokens aren't real currency, but in app purchases are legal. I assume this is why real casinos are mimicking the mobile apps.

When I worked retail we fought customer dad jokes with dad jokes, often quoted straight from the boss.

"I will happily take your amex sir, however the machine doesnt accept them."

I stole a dumb joke from a customer who said that I "should ask for a raise, but they'd probably just get me a taller chair"

So now whenever anyone says I deserve a raise, I just mention that they might actually get me a taller chair and it slays. Everyone loves it.

Pro tip for any of you phone jockeys out there!

I live in a more conservative area of WA and we can still buy anything from grocery stores, until 2 am. I'm never up before 6 so I don't have to worry about not being able to buy more!

I lived in Boston MA for a short while and drat the laws were annoying once you're used to REAL FREEDOM.

I mean christ I'm not defending this backwards insanity. I wish my state was like this guys here ^^^^ . but I've got people who come around to make sure I'm following these laws and if I don't I lose my job and get fined a shitload of money that I never would have gotten paid enough to cover in the first place.

but idk I guess that makes me a gigantic dumbass :shrug:

Naw man, now that grocery stores sell hard A (only started a few years ago), they card every single time too. I'm sure retail carding laws are much more enforced now. I don't get carded much at bars and restaurants, but always at the grocery store. I just always have my ID ready anyways because I hate slow, unprepared people in front of me and I assume they have to follow liquor laws very closely.

I had my liquor license to serve beer at a pizza place a while back so I have an idea of what the laws are like around here. You can get real hosed up if you're not doing the right thing. We just have less restrictive purchasing laws now, so it's nice on this side of the register! The computers also shut off sales right at 2 AM and cannot be overridden (by regular employees at least).

WTF? Were you using your personal vehicle and not the company's?

When I was delivering pizza it was very common to hear "Why should I tip, there's a god drat $1.75 delivery fee, that's your tip!"

Especially when delivering to the wealthiest neighborhoods, poorer people would generally try to tip at least 5 bucks though. Except one old guy thinking he was being clever by saying "keep the change" and it was a whopping $0.10, which I just dropped on the porch and left.

According to our manager, the fee was to reimburse the store for having to pay drivers while they aren't "at the store working." ...When I came back home to work during a winter break I learned that manager was arrested for embezzling.
