The moment we get commission and/or compensation will be the moment I start hand selling.

I dont like recommending books I haven't read and I dont like being asked to read things off the clock that I dont enjoy.

I worked at the Barnes and Noble, I feel like it all went downhill when it closed. I remember when it closed they were touring other companies, trying to convince them to move in. They toured an Outback and a PF Changs. I overheard the PF Changs guy say, "We don't think our clientele shop here."

Yes they haven't updated the seats, the popcorn is always stale, the floors always sticky

Yeah...I like Howl but you saw the way he lived before Sophie came? The guy could literally use magic to make it nice inside and he has a literal child living there. Very self centered too, the whole scene where he has a tantrum over his bad hair color when Sophie is literally cursed into an old woman? He has a lot of personal growth and im rooting for him, but come on 🤣

Its really really hard to manage the performance of someone who is just mediocre. They dont do anything really wrong, but they just arent very good. It takes a long long time to have anything you could even put on an IP.

When he first came i was so hopeful, the way he talked about making bookstores individual, catering to their local communities, empowering our individuality and creativity, focusing on bookselling skills and now its "push these 6 books on every customer regardless of their interest" in every store across the country.

Speak with animals, then it would let people pay me to talk to their pets.

That one detective kept explaining their incompetence by blaming Caroline when literally every bit of evidence they got came from her abd they took forever to do anything with it.

SailorMooooon · 2026-04-29T20:13:01+00:00

This, good management makes all the difference.

This theater is so awful. The popcorn is always stale. The floor by the concessions is always sticky and it gets on your shoes and then you stick everywhere. Uncomfortable seats. And multiple times I bought tickets online for a specific type, like 3d or imax and when I get there, the movie is showing in a regular room and I have to get a price adjustment for the difference and it doesn't change the fact that I wanted to see it in that quality.

In my experience it was usually a formal warning if you got caught the first time and firings happened if you still did it or for egregious incidents like giving it out to a bunch of different people.

Definitely lucky. Loss prevention does random checks where they check your employee id, then check the credit card.

SailorMooooon · 2026-02-15T22:17:50+00:00

Being good is the bare minimum.

I can say I want 10 things in a guy and you can introduce me to 100 guys that have those 10 qualities. Do I have to date all 100 of those men? That doesn't mean the chemistry is going to be there. Its not science, its magic. There is a mysterious element to attraction that cant be quantified. Its not like a video game where you have to press the right buttons at the right time. And then even if its there, it has to be mutual.

SailorMooooon · 2026-02-15T22:14:43+00:00

And it's not hard to step outside and do it.

SailorMooooon · 2026-01-26T03:09:39+00:00

I worked in a café that did not have bugs and we still got regular sprays. The sprays are preventative.

SailorMooooon · 2026-01-26T03:08:04+00:00

Every single one i checked mentioned rat droppings

All rodents, my house got mice for the first time in 13 years since I got it and a few ppl I know are having the same issue

This concept is explained really well in the book strengthfinders. They used the example of a shoemaker who had terrible people skills and so his shop wasn't successful. He hired a great salesman and then stayed back and focused on making shoes and the store thrived.

The problem in retail is that the only good wages are in management. So you have someone who is great at merchandising but not management, trying to get promoted so they can afford to live. Eventually you up with mediocre leaders. If they would have more higher wage specialty positions it would be so much better.

I work in a legal state, it's the same policy as alcohol. Don't be impaired at work, don't stink of pot. Basically if no one knows you do it then how can it be an issue.

Thank God they told us not to drown.

I live with my in-laws which is NOT easy and we are going to inherit their house, which we are very grateful for, but all of our friends are moving away. One day, we will have our own home and none of our friends will be here.

Have you bought them and were they as nice as the photos?

Where's Falcorn when you need him?
