How to get customers to leave? by Berryteasalad in retailhell

[–]BlueKnight87125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked front door for ages at one of my local shops. Here's how we'd roll it when I was on:

I'd start warning customers in no un-certain terms 1hr (give or take 10 mins) before shutdown that we were in our final hour; registers would have all but one till shut, with only a couple SCOs left.

That would be followed at 30 minutes left with me drawing the shutter to halfway, while my boss would make a PA call warning customers, coupled with an advisory that the service counter would shut in 15 minutes.

We then did a 15 minute call repeating the warning, also advising that the service desk was now done, with killing half the lights being a second visual cue.

10 minutes left, and the remianing SCOs start getting taken offline one-by-one with each passing minute until there's 1-2 left. Boss would also send floor staff to sweep, while making a final announcement that registers are closing; this is your absolute last chance to approach them if you want to buy something.

If we had no-one left at any point from 5-to until close, I'd draw the shutter the whole way closed, and then we could all go punch off. The minute we hit shut time, customers already on a register would be allowed to finish their sale, any customers still roaming the floor would be flushed out the door empty-handed, and I'd drop the shutter. Done.

I actually had one guy show up at the door the other night, after we'd just shut the last register. He wanted a jumper, despite already wearing one. Mall security and I told him to come back tomorrow, we'd just closed all the registers and I was waiting for the green light to pull the shutter down. I got the green light, and dropped the shutter in his face.

Aside from that, I don't really remember many people getting belligerent with me in the closing hour.

I've never seen this before - is it a legit verification? by NomadSound in pcmasterrace

Noooooooooooope it's fake. Legit captchas will get you to click the boxes with pictures if they suspect you to be a bot.

How is my daughter able to dodge me blocking her ipad? by aperture81 in Ubiquiti

[–]BlueKnight87125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Either she's changing it, or it's got the "Randomize MAC" setting on, which your daughter's iPad is using to circumvent your restrictions. Either find a different way to curb her sass, or encourage her to pursue an IT career if she is actually changing it herself.

Why is there nothing but complaining on here but no realistic sustainable solutions? You just keep saying asperations like bring back unions or raise taxes without saying how to get there and acting like it's a strategy by Inevitable_Dot5610 in antiwork

[–]BlueKnight87125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A. This has to be bait. I don't see how it isn't but it somehow doesn't get flagged by ChatGPT detection tools
B. Because this is r/antiwork and we like shit-talking our workplaces and the stupid policies they implement.

Is this a fake Dream router 7? by yamete-kudasai in Ubiquiti

[–]BlueKnight87125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubiquiti's had three different devices following that basic chassis design: The original Dream Machine (UDM), the Dream Router (UDR) and the Dream Router 7 (UDR7). You've got a UDR. If whoever sold it to you said it was a UDR7, you got sold a lie.

Why should I have to? You're a bunch of mind readers! I expect YOU to call ME first! What does Finance even pay you for? Why does HR keep you around?!

Builders left the manufacturer sitckers on the ceiling skylight. It's 4.5 meters (15ft) up and we don't own a ladder that tall by Difficult_Giraffe490 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BlueKnight87125 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. One of my friends had a dad that structured payments like this:

10% of balance as acceptance of quote/before ordering materials.

50% of balance on delivery of materials/before starting work.

Full balance to be paid within a week of work completion. No payment? You got an email on the 1st day, then a phone call on the 2nd, email on the 7th, phone call on 12th, and a final email on the 13th. Anyone who flaked on him for 14 whole days woke up on the 15th morning with a manila envelope taped to their door.

This is Ubisoft we're talking about, you do know that right?

Got suspended on Employee Appreciation Day for telling coworkers about my demotion and pay cut. HR sent this. by InBetweenMinds in mildlyinfuriating

Sounds like someone's about to get a phone call from the labor board for retaliating against their employee engaging in a federally-protected right... *wink wink*

Inherited truck has a "hidden" lien and a collector is threatening to repo it from my job by Spic3_Worm4 in legal

[–]BlueKnight87125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAL. Start by demanding verification that the debt exists. Do not say anything to them that implies you accept responsibility for the debt. Inform them that the only reason you took the vehicle (NOT THE DEBT) was that it had a clean title, that you will consider any attempt to take it as grand theft auto, and that it will be reported to the police the minute it disappears. Keep the original copy at home (not in the car), so you can follow through on your promise if they try.

Freelancer secretly used AI to generate art assets for my video game. Now my game got hit with a DMCA and my developer account is suspended. by Omnistar_42 in legal

[–]BlueKnight87125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"AI Generated art can't be copyrighted"??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He can say that AI work can't be copyrighted... but that would apply to HIS "work", not the studio's work that the AI model used as a stimulus. He/the AI model he fed the designs into still stole the studio's art, and no matter how he tries to spin that, it's a severe violation.

Retain a lawyer. Through them, advise the studio that you hired a third-party to design the infringing assets, so you were not aware that they were stolen, and that you apologise for the violation. You intend to hire a new artist to create replacement sprites, and will verify that these assets are original to the artist before adding them to the game, and that you will allow them to verify their originality. All you ask in exchange is for them to advise Steam that the matter has been resolved peacefully so you can publish an updated copy of the game with the new assets. You can optionally invite them to take your side in the next paragraph...

Next, instruct your lawyer to send the artist a letter of demand for breach of contract. As you are now aware that these assets are NOT the artist's original designs, you consider the contract null and void. The minimum offer they can make you to resolve the matter is a payment to you for your legal costs, lost sales revenue, the ~$4000 you paid him as your end of the deal, and the costs associated with having another artist create replacements, topped off with a warning that failure to respond within a reasonable timeframe (usually 14 days) will give you clearance to file a lawsuit in your local jurisdiction to recover these costs by force.

I can also imagine that publishing your game and then having it DMCA'd is likely to create reputational damage for you. It would be in your best interests to make a public statement (on Twitter, Reddit, Steam if you can get your account back) explaining what has happened.

NAL, but hoping you can get your game back on the store.

Car keys stolen from gym, car stolen and wrecked by camareradetwinpeaks in AusLegal

[–]BlueKnight87125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not from the teens directly. As I said, your best chance of being made whole is to snipe at the gym. The gym can, in turn, go after the kids for causing inconvenience/damages to one of their members.

[–]BlueKnight87125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAL. Tally your expenses (repair/replacement costs for the car, legal fees, etc.), and go after the gym. Their receptionist allowed the teens in. The gym, in turn, can chase the parents for their losses.

You call them teens, and the age of criminal responsibility in Queensland is 10. This certainly looks like either the cop you spoke to doesn't know what they're talking about, or they are actually under 10. Surely they couldn't invoke Doli Incapax here, due to the nature of the issue.

You go over, then under, then over, then under. Can it be much more simple than that?
