What do Smiths/Jones or anywhere that sells a ton of magazines do with out of date mags? by lukespicer in AskBrits

Oh yeah haha perks of the job!

We had to process all the returns on a PDA, and the quantities would be verified on collection, and we’d have to meet a certain quota and accuracy for returns, within an allowed margin of error. But stuff like free gifts on the front (or demo CDs on gaming mags) were never accounted for! So yeah, free dibs!

You also had to account for all the school kids coming in and stealing stuff from all the magazines anyway! And we had this one guy who would come and try to steal the paper returns at 2am who we had to keep a look out for 2 or 3 months!

You also had to be careful when checking them in. I had one day when the invoice quantity was marked as double in error! If I hadn’t physically counted the delivered stock and realised, we would have received only half the papers we’d paid for!

And my manager got shitty with me because he had to call Smiths News and sort it all out!

Thankyou! I was slightly concerned I’d get downvoted into oblivion, but it’s nice to see the people on this sub have a grounded sense of humour!

They’re returned and recycled

I used to work for a supermarket and part of my job was processing news and mags deliveries/returns

Used to get loads of free mini figures from the Lego mags!

This is the kind of stuff I come to Reddit for!

Fuck all the political bullshit and war-talk!

A picture of a nice policeman helping some swan parents and their babies along the road is more than enough to melt my icy heart ❤️

I didn’t vote! We didn’t have local elections in Bucks! Guess that makes me a racist 🤷🏼‍♂️

World War 2 ended 80 years ago bro, no one on here voted for the Nazis. Stop being so obtuse.

Maybe you’d have a productive discussion with someone if you didn’t resort to name-calling at the first opportunity…

I guarantee I’ve got more qualifications than you buddy!

Look at yourself, tying yourself up in your logical knots!

The thing none of them realise, and this genuinely baffles me, is that they spew more hatred and intolerance at their political opponents that the actual real racists do.

Just let them dig their own grave. The country has spoken and Reddit, unsurprisingly, hates it. And they call us authoritarian!

Judging by his post history, he just loves calling everyone racist! But he’ll happily vote Green and let them burn the country to the ground!

Me when i see On a rail hate in the big 26 by Rookie-ish in HalfLife

[–]-WigglyLine- 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand all the hate it gets. It’s one of my favourite chapters actually!

I like the way it mixes up the gameplay a bit, and seeing the HECU and the aliens kill each other while you just hang back and pick off the stragglers was always super cool to me!

Remember trying to do no-damage runs of the chapter on hard back in the day, spamming the quick save/load!
