Kelp Me! posted:Man, it sounds like you work for a company that specializes in doing all the really boring stuff that the other airport employees don't want to do. That blows. You work at an airport in Alaska? I guess that explains why you don't have the golf cart things, but I've seen them at most major airports. I've read somewhere that the TSA is the perfect job for the near-terminally stupid, because you are actively required to follow all instructions no matter how stupid, take everything absolutely literally, and have no concern for others. And being racist helps.

Problem with condoning parents hitting their kids for good reasons is that they'll see it as equally appropriate to hit their kids for bad reasons.

Pretty sure this is the only joy of being an elf. We need to bring back Krampus. And/or imply that Santa is actually a retired Odin. Children have powerful imaginations, which makes it all the more fun to scare the poo poo out of them.

Glenn Quebec posted:You know you try to give advice. I take it back, you all deserve to be in retail. Don't worry about schooling, training or having to take a risk to try and improve your lot. You have rich parents who gave everything to you and would be competing for retail like the rest of us otherwise. It's true 9 times out of 10.

You know what'll help? Going further into completely undischargeable debt on something that has absolutely no guarantee to actually help you in any way, despite everyone in your family and education insisting it is the only way to improve your lot in life.

At least last time I stumbled into a supermarket drunk and five minutes before closing (I was sent to run an errand in the middle of the party) I was apologetic and very politely asked where the coca-cola was. But I'm not an old white lady, I guess.

Everything I learned about customer service I learned from Discworld; always make it easy for the customer to give you money. I think the world would run a lot better if people realised that if you want people to do something, you should make it as easy as possible to do.

Huh, I thought Kiwi 20 centers were pretty much the same size and weight as Australian ones, to the point where they're interchangeable in vending machines?

The Lord Bude posted:In Australia (where zenithe is) It's entirely old people who withdraw money by going to the bank each month and writing a cheque to themselves. ATMs don't give out 100s. That and people giving large cash gifts as birthday presents, because they think 100s are fancier. Nobody gets paid by cheque in Australia. Legitimate businesses pay employees by direct deposit to their bank account. Tax is automatically deducted, and all your income details are reported to the tax office. The only time people get paid by some other means is tradies accepting cash payment for work, or businesses that are committing wage fraud. The only place I've ever gotten a $100 bill is from casino winnings. I still have it around as a trophy and emergency cash. I've heard about the blue-collar workers who carry tens of thousands of dollars cash, which gets entertaining when they're busted for carrying meth.

Arcsquad12 posted:The bookstore coles? Or is this a food chain in the states? Coles in Australia is a supermarket chain, one of the two dominant national ones along with Woolworths. They're not Wal-Mart tier but known to be fairly lovely employers, especially with skyrocketing youth unemployment in a lot of the country. Though Australian worker and consumer protections are amazing compared to what Americans put up with.

Yeah, the whole point if that there's one item of clothing worth dropping tons of money on, it's generally shoes.
