No. Fuck me instead!

The language that famously has three+ silent letters per word?

A lot were retired, some police and other minor tyrants, and some were just full time white nationalist organizers.

Oh I completely agree, can’t tell you how many times I’ve been screamed at on behalf of a corporation that values my labor at ‘‘can’t we charge him to work here instead’’ levels.

Doors can be replaced, dignity cannot.

The professionals use a potato ricer. Very fast, no lumps, and no risk of accidently making a glue, but you have to buy a potato rice, and change is scary.

A ricer is the ‘Yes chef’ way to do it, but I use this exact masher, when I do it I get lumpy mashed potatoes, but for whatever reason why my 10yr uses it they are silky smooth.

This post has made me ask, why don’t we just put this shit in a different place?

I’ve been in these meetings, they call this “training the customer” that’s literally what they are telling workers to do, train the customers to self check and stop asking for pos service.

They are HUGELY advantageous to shoplifters. My local grocery store did it for a few years and stopped all together.

It’s more like, they keep doing the genocide.

“but as I customer, I always see a store worker as a human and engage respectfully, and at least most people I know do the same”

Yeah, that’s a HUGE problem in US culture, people are fucking awful to anyone in customer service. They look down on you like there’s some class system and they are the lords and service people are the lowest peasant. I developed a nasty habit working in service of ‘‘never falling for their bullshit’’. Never show weakness, never give them an opportunity to fuck with you. It’s actually a terrible approch to social interactions, most of normal social interactions are built on mutual trust or understanding, if you never allow either to manifest, it’s a big communication breakdown.

Yeah that’s not on you. New systems sometimes never really come online and customers just wise up and stop trying. It’s frustrating for workers too, because the only thing worse than a terrible customer, is losing a sale over nothing.

Cops make a surprisingly high amount of money.

Tis a sin to spill thine seed on the ground, thou must forever diligently rawdog thine brother’s wife. To please the lord.

But see, now she doesn’t have time to organize or even attend a Revolutionary action of any kind!

There’s one in my small town too! It looks very cozy.

When you gonna sign 20 things a day your style gets real poetic.

Actually in that specific situation, the store is closed and you have to come back when they’re opened. It’s not closed for fun. It’s closed because the store closes, and there’s 45mins of tasks that have to be done and many of them require the registers to be closed and the doors to be locked and if you unlock the door you have to reset the timer and start over. It’s not a game, your bullshit isn’t worth 10-15 people working an extra 45min at a time when the store isn’t making money. I gotta tell you when your a specialist or manager and you have to close and open, getting to bed in time to sleep enough to not die is a bigger problem than your lost item. Literally everyone else knows you don’t get special treatment for losing something, Come back in the morning you spoiled little shit.

Nope, you never engage. Never ever engage. That flaming asshole who’s too self centered and ignorant to read the hours posed on the door they’re banging on and refuses to accept that the store is closed for EVERYONE including them, isn’t going to be polite, honest, or responsible. If you engage, they will immediately punish you for it. Don’t ever make that mistake.

You don’t work for the customer, you work for the store. It’s not always a crime to go along with a customer, but it’s always a negative when they want to push you to violate policy, change prices, complain about Mike in sporting goods for having a mustache, or ‘‘I’ll be real quick I sware’’ shopping when the store is closed. They will always punish you.

I eventually figured out that when a customer gets shitty, more than half the time if I say ''I work for the store and I’m responsible for [the dumbass shit you want me to do], if I violate store policy I’ll be fired" they suddenly realize this isn’t a game, and stop acting like a can of smashed assholes.
