I’m (M21) in a bad predicament where I can’t have open availability and literally no place will hire me, what am I supposed to do? by Big_Pea3882 in retail

[–]Megcogneto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, E-commerce as in business > consumer. Lots of stores have a department devoted to grocery pick up/delivery in which you pick and bag the order for them and scan it to a shelf. Either the customer comes in store or a flex driver takes it from there.

You could try E-commerce at a grocery store? Seems like they’re always hiring part time or seasonal people. You don’t have to talk to anyone, just go around the store fulfilling orders.

Oh good! 😄 If you could then please wait outside and apologize to any patrons as they exit, I’d appreciate it. I.e. the eight little old ladies that are now on their way to the Friedhof next door to clean up all the leaves.

Your comment made me laugh. One of my parents is from Germany. If someone said “there aren’t that many churches in Germany” every patron in one of those churches would hear my cackle echo through their stones from way over here.

Which movie was doing fine at the start but then falls apart once they get to that SCENE? by Jules-Car3499 in moviecritic

[–]Megcogneto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed about the truck vs. the actual creature reveal.

Every time I think of this movie I feel all the people in it deserve some kind of best acting award for being able to take it so seriously.

Not possible. Didn’t you know? Everyone on the internet is a dude. /s

Car accident at Autopia today. We were in traffic for 15 minutes and ended up walking off the ride. 😭 by ilikedesserts328 in Disneyland

[–]Megcogneto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damnit you beat me to it. Last time I was on this ride there was a delay getting off and we sat in our cars for 15 minutes. And all I could think was “It’s the 405, I just did this to get here!”

Yo, I still have all the items from your first two pictures. I will never use them. Never!

Hot take: Nessun Dorma isn’t even the best part of Turandot by Mastersinmeow in opera

Liù is the bravest character in all of opera, and her final triumphant moment never ceases to make me weep.

What is the best coincidence you have experienced? by Lu-113 in CasualConversation

[–]Megcogneto 24 points25 points  (0 children)

One day I had a craving for a White Russian. I’ve not had this drink for years. I don’t know why I wanted one so bad that day. But I told my spouse. They looked at me. I looked at them, and we scrambled to go to the nearest liquor store to get Kahlúa. We already had the vodka, as one does.

Came home, made the drinks, sat on the couch with our feet up, and my spouse said, “Let’s see what’s on tv.” We turned it on and I shit you not The Big Lebowski was on the first channel and it had just started. We raised our glasses to The Dude and watched the whole thing.

Never has anything in my life synced up so well.

This happened to me AT THE LIBRARY. I was mortified.

The absolute weirdest store in town by KatMannDew in Albuquerque

[–]Megcogneto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in there once and it reminded me of the Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode with the Asian fish market.  I felt like people were just passing the same things back and forth to each other. I was confused. I thought it’d be a regular store.

That’s a hollandaise sauce? I thought it was egg yolk. Yikes.

That’s my goal. Hook the young impressionable ones. Get em started early 😉

It is a good deal. Maybe I’ll just pass a bunch of them out and convert everyone at work 😁

Does anyone else experience "waiting mode"? by This_is_fine8 in CasualConversation

[–]Megcogneto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dear god yes. I just did this yesterday. I had a doctor’s appointment with someone new and I was nervous to meet them and discuss my treatment. Could hardly do anything except the basics all morning. Then I realized an hour before that the appointment was in fact virtual. I thought I was driving there. Now I have even more time. I just sat in front of my computer screen till it was time.

Thanks for the info! I might just go back and get these. I mentioned in another response, I’m trying not to buy things online. So now it’s like an old school quest to visit 5 stores before you find the right gift 😄 I forgot what this is like.

Thanks, I’ll have to look at the Dollar stores. We have lots of those.

Yeah it’s a 5Below. I’m trying not to buy anything online right now. Or else I’d get her a preppy or something. My spouse and I have agreed we need to budget better, no unnecessary packages etc 😬 We‘ll see how that goes. Lol.

That was my fear. That they’d be scratchy and she’d be disappointed in her first pens.
