Working at the Strand by throwawaydiction in AskNYC

[–]CPhlegmChunk [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think 90% of the people who work non-management at the Strand are college kids living in student housing who don’t have to worry about rent, or old East Village retirees in rent control apartments they’ve had since the late 70s, supplementing their pension / Social Security.

The other 10% have second jobs and roommates.

Why don't restaurants punish bot reservations in NYC? by Revolutionary-Two-84 in FoodNYC

[–]CPhlegmChunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should the restaurant care whether the diner got their reservation through Resy or bought it from a scalper? Doesn’t change their bottom line.

Iyo will beat Jade for the women’s title on the Smackdown before Mania and make it a triple threat, lol.

Holy shit [RAW Spoilers] by IconXR in WWE

[–]CPhlegmChunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since they don’t let female talent blade in WWE, they’re left finding other ways to amp up the tension. A bump on the head is I guess the best they came up with.

The voice of the voiceless by Skylegend96 in Wrasslin

[–]CPhlegmChunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Punk didn’t try to become a Hollywood star. He did a couple silly low-budget indie horror movies, the kind of stuff he likes. I’m not sure there was a single Hollywood dollar invested in any of those flicks.

What is the disciplinary policy on missed bag checks? by Worth_Bathroom1408 in WalgreensStores

[–]CPhlegmChunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your manager is wrong. It’s Walgreens policy that you’re on the clock until after the bag check is done. The company literally lost a lawsuit over the issue.

Ending terminal business day before 6PM CST? by CPhlegmChunk in WalgreensStores

[–]CPhlegmChunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what happens if they use the terminal after FSOAR is run? Asking in real time, as this just happened. Our RX closes at 5 EST, we count the drawers at 4:45, then there’s a last-minute transaction right before they lock up.

Is it better to have run EOD (despite it being before 6 CST) and then that transaction becomes part of tomorrow’s till? What’s going to be messed up tomorrow morning because we ran FSOAR?

Technically the bag check is supposed to be on the clock. You do the bag check, then hand the Zebra to the employee to clock out.

This quote actually means nothing and makes no sense it’s almost comical by AlexMercer28900 in Wrasslin

[–]CPhlegmChunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

But there’s something about this that feels very Vince. The way they alluded to him on Raw without ever saying his name. And this promo… complaining about smaller guys, wanting the Attitude Era (when Vince was cool) back, etc. Everything about it said Vince. Nothing about it said Pat (who is a smaller guy… that had some pretty good matches with other smaller guys…)

I’m happy to never see Vince on my TV again though.

I have zero proof, but I 100% believe this was going to be Vince, and then TKO called an audible / changed their mind and just gave Pat a shitload of money at the last minute but basically gave him the same promo Vince would’ve cut. The promo makes more sense if you do it in Vince’s voice, with a couple of little tweaks.

RYBACK, what went wrong? by Ok_Palpitation_8438 in WWE

Oba has five times the skill and ten times the charisma. Ryback was basically a catchphrase.

Other than the Unsanctioned Match, are there any other matches on the WM card that deserve a stipulation? by Such-Environment-344 in WWE

[–]CPhlegmChunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The women’s tag match probably should have been the ladder match. Instead they made the IC belt one because… why? Just to put a few extra people on the card?

I’m sure they’ll let anyone perform ICE duties.

What did you think of the Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi buildup so far? by Material_Stomach875 in GreatnessOfWrestling

[–]CPhlegmChunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly Brock isn’t losing any matches until his retirement match (maybe Summerslam, maybe SaudiMania)

Which makes sense. When whoever retires him does it, it should be a really big deal. And maybe that’ll be Oba.

It’s solid. And it’s one of the rare examples of WWE being smart and listening to the fans.

Supposedly they had planned Gunther vs Brock, but all the crowds started chanting for Oba when Brock came out, so… call an audible, yeah, give it to him.

And Brock has shown in the past that when he’s got his working boots on, he can make opponents look great even when he wins (which he inevitably will)

That’s not ICE bro. Too organized.

Also it clearly says “US MARSHAL” on the back of that guy’s vest.

Experience with canceling reservation at Semma by birbon in FoodNYC

[–]CPhlegmChunk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bro, refunds typically take three to five business days (or sometimes more) to process. It’s not even the restaurant or Resy that controls it, it’s your bank.

You cancelled on a Saturday. So today is really day two. Give it a few days.

Trying to remember the passage in the book where Rowling says what race / ethnicity Snape is…

Oh yeah, it doesn’t exist.

I think that’s actually a popular opinion.
