This is the greatest thread because retail workers go straight berserk on the drop of anything that isn't "lol customers are dumb"

Sure. I'm a retard, or press the "?" to see that I've enjoyed trolling this thread on and off.

I ate that three day prob for non-committally saying that I was a troll. The truth is that I believe that despite extenuating circumstances of a few (see: thr lady who only has $5 ever) that a majority of people that are stuck in a dead end job could benefit from learning a tradeskill, moving to an area with more opportunity or going to college despite the risk of incuring debt. I agree that all these options are risky and no guarantee.

Become an ice crab fisherman and write a novel like Louis L'Amour and then use your hard earned currency to purchase your education or tradeskill training.

just because you have the platform to be tiresome and unfunny doesn't mean it's the thing you should do tbh. I like a good shitpost as much as the next person but the stuff in this thread is really dumb. It's like the goons who were too reserved or scared to shitpost when they were younger finally got old/brave enough to shitpost, and now they are making their meager, contrarian inroads into a dead form of humor by hassling retail employees

but enough about the retail thread.

Which is true, but if chains in the US are doing what they're doing here that'll stop being an excuse soon too (eg. replacing all signage with screens since it's much cheaper and easier for them). The major chains here are all starting to use screens for all their signboards, and it's starting to happen in smaller chains, too.

Eh, it doesn't really matter, I just roll it into the same basket of "things the US just accepts and gets used to that a lot of countries around the world solved decades ago (see healthcare, transport, etc)". Derail over.

I don't think you understand the scope of what you're suggesting.

If a customer did that at my register I'd toss the change in the direction of the door and tell them to be a good boy and go fetch. I wouldn't care what they did after, that's what I have security for.

Lol. Then you would snap awake from your daydream / fantasy and hand the change over.

Nah, it's one of those open kitchen style place. There is no hidden spot to do too much damage.

I out of the roughly dozen times I've been asked my name, only once by a non-regular has it ever been for a benign reason. Refusing to tell some crabby biddy your name is hilarious though. What are they gonna do? They already want to bitch to someone nominally in charge or just make a scene. Refusing them the dubious pleasure of acting like self indulgent morons is half the fun of retail.

You can see why I didn't last at a corporate chain grocery store for long.

Yeah, man. You're super cool and tough. Follow your own rules.

Not thread making GBS threads for once but I twice a month I have my shoes shined professionally and have taps nailed into them. They'll even do further maintenance work if necessary. I highly recommend doing this if you want to maintain a certain appearance and feel good about yourself.

This makes me hope you are a vaudeville performer. Either that or taps means something else I'm not familiar with.

I'd just add to not go for anything $100 or sub for men's shoes. Just don't bother. The construction is crap. In the $250 - $400 range things can be iffy and a crapshoot. You can easily overspend for a brand simply because it's an Italian name or whatever and have a poo poo shoe.

Alden are nice, yeah.

First of all. It's martinis. Second of all, I recommended trying anything to get out of retail and better yourself. The third part is true.
