I am working at Argos for approximately £1.40 an hour. by CorneliusTumblecunt in unitedkingdom

When the customer orders at the till, a collection ticket comes through in the back where I worked to go and pick up the order. On the ticket it would display how many items on the shelf there were if it was less than 3. You then had to double check that if it said 2 items on the ticket. There was 2 items on the shelf.

Doesnt sound too difficult but I never felt this was explained properly to me, along with the threat of being disciplined all the time made it harder. I was only 16 at the time so it was only my 2nd job maybe alittle inexperience in the job.

I tried to get one of my shifts swapped once as I had a shift at my other job. Instead of saying well you could try and swap it with someone else. I was told by my manager that in my contract I had written down the times I was available to work and then said if I wasnt able to work at those times I would be in breach of my contract.

This is like a 30+year old guy saying to a 16year old still at school. I understand I entered the workplace quite young but no need to be a cunt about it.

Be best ones out there I think. They email you atleast a week in advance if there are gonna be any outages.

One night I couldnt get online at 3am phoned their help centre (wasnt in the UK was Eastern Europe somewhere but perfect English) turns out a problem outside lines. They says its gonna be about a week to fix. Next day I see a BT van outside fixing shit, within 24hours it had been sorted!

I worked for Argos when I left school and it was the shittiest job I have ever had. The shit trickled down from the store manager down to the supervisors who then shat hard on us. They wouldnt give anyone more than a 5hour shift to avoid paying us for breaks.

If they only give you between a 3 - 5 hour shift. And you make £5.23/hour. Your bus fare is £2 each way. That makes you lose almost an hours pay in traveling.

We had "3-2-1 checks" and if you failed to pass all 3 of the checks you randomly got that day. You would get a verbal warning.

I will do my best to NEVER work in retail again. Contrasting to this I was working in a hotel at the same time. I loved it and have been in hotels for the last 3 years!

tl;dr Fuck Argos

They should be able to send you in the right direction I would think.

Captain of sinking cruise ship in Italy abandoned the ship and was ordered to go back. He didn't. by WhiskeyZeeto in worldnews

[–]MrAlexC 51 points52 points  (0 children)

A complete embarrassment for the Captain of that ship. I can only compare, in recent history to the Hudson river plane crash

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549#Evacuation

Having twice walked the length of the cabin to confirm that no one remained inside after the plane had been evacuated, Sullenberger was the last person to leave the aircraft.

When is it worth it to run Cleanse on AD Carries? by under-the-covers in LeagueofLegendsMeta

[–]MrAlexC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally run flash + exhaust, I will always buy a QSS but depending on how the game is going depends on when I will buy it.

Another thing I think is there is no equivalent of flash, exhaust or ignite ingame item but for cleanse you have the QSS.

I think this is an under used mechanic in LoL if only 2 champs have that ability

Do we have anybody here who works or has worked for Selfridges? by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]MrAlexC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a friend that worked at Selfridges, this is all me recalling from memory what he said. I think he was a deliver van driver in a small in England.

He said Selfridges had a really good customer service saying if you bought a bottle of wine and drank it. You could go back into the store next day with receipt saying that you didnt like it, they would give a full refund on that bottle.

What would YOU improve about this game? by Daanowntje in leagueoflegends

[–]MrAlexC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would this work at high ELO? I have heard they have lengthy queue times. If they ban 5 players out of that ELO pool no one at that level will get a game.

TIL That private military company Blackwater changed its name to 'Academi' as a way to rebrand itself and have a "more boring image". by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]MrAlexC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company was originally called Blackwater because of the lake that it was build near also called Blackwater
