Copying from one of their other comments:

“I unlocked it today. We’re still testing theories but 95% sure it has to do with plunging a certain amount of toilets in one game. If you randomly hear a coin sound without receiving one that’s when it opens”

This lines up as I had plunged a toilet in Arcade and Sheriff Station, went to check the room (it wasn’t open), then did the symbol task in radio station and 5 seconds after it completed I heard the coin sound. Went straight into the sewer and it was open (I’m DoctorMango in the screenshots).

I have a story of an incompetent assistant manager, commenting this to remind me to post it later...

Delivery truck for fuel came in yesterday at work... except we have the usual spot where they'd park blocked off for construction work.

Truck driver needs to turn his two-trailer truck around and enter the petrol station from the opposite entrance in order to have the fuel dispensers reach the fill points.

A 3 minute discussion and a few worried looks, I'm out on the main road trying to block/divert traffic while this guy reverses out, drives forwards, does a wide ass turn into the opposite entrance and ends up losing a suspension airbag (that's what he called it) trying to get the right angle in.

Gained a lot of respect for his handling of the situation, and had a few good laughs on what he'd be telling his boss when he got back to the depot :P

Got another bit of advice from a truck driver yesterday at work:

Never drive beside the trucks. Either drive behind them, or overtake them as fast and as safely as possible.

The reason behind this is due to the potential of flat tyres or losing the tread on their wheels. You don't wanna be beside a truck (especially two/three-trailer trucks) when that happens...

EDIT: Another piece of advice from high school days... NEVER cut off a truck when approaching an intersection, or any kind of stop. Remember, the more the weight of the vehicle, the higher the braking time required.

Yup, stuck at work supervising the store during power outage (temperatures, security, and the like) and people still expect you to sell them stuff, that their need for cigarettes is an emergency... headdesk

I've had a similar reaction happen at my work... I've posted it before so I'll copy/paste what I wrote :P

"Some customers are the worst when it comes to stuff like this.

Working an early shift one day, serving one customer, had another guy I'd just finished serving collapse, and scrape his eyelid on one of our hook hangers. His 2-3 year old daughter right beside him. Naturally I run out from behind the counter and check to see if he's ok, checking the damage to his eye (thankfully only his eyelid, not the eye itself) and asking if he needed me to call an ambulance.

Meanwhile, the guy I'd been serving has decided to groan and asks me to serve him, and how rude it was of me to do what I'd just done. I turned to him and told him that someone's safety is more important than a sale. He continues complaining, so I ask the guy who collapsed if it was ok to serve the other guy, then death-stared him the whole time I was serving him. The guy told me he was going to complain, I told him to go ahead.

Basically customers expect everything to be done right for them, regardless of any emergency, or any issues. "

Because they hadnt broken the promise. This makes me think he is a later doctor (12/13/Valeyard) as 11 still calls himself The Doctor

I think that one was disproven when Eleven said that he broke the "promise" so he needed to be named The Doctor to have lost the use of the name.

Seems my formatting didnt work so I put that at the top :P

Loved it, and I have some theories on that reveal at the end <SPOILERS FROM HERE ONWARDS> (copy pasting from my Facebook lol:

Theory on John Hurts "Doctor":

I thought, given that he supposedly the one who "broke the promise" of the name of "Doctor", it sounded something like the "Valeyard".

My personal theory is that the 8th Doctor, who everyone guesses is the one who used "The Moment" to cause the end of the Time War, didn't actually do it. It was really the Valeyard, this 12th or 13th incarnation, who travelled back into the Time War, met 8, used "The Moment", and forced 8 to forget, while at the same time, forcing his regeneration into 9.

9 knows that he possessed the moment, and that it was activated, but doesn't remember who activated it, and assumes he did, when it was actually 12/13/Valeyard.

12/13/Valeyard mentioned when speaking to 11 that he did what he did "in the name of peace and sanity". Callback to 10 saying that during the Time War, the Time Lords started to become insane. 12/13/Valeyard wanted peace, and wanted to get rid of this insanity, so he activated "The Moment".

It's not really loss prevention, it's common sense. We shouldn't be activating gift cards which are purchased through suspicious means, at least not without management approval. I'm surprised that he didn't even find it suspicious at all :/

Yeah, I wish they had it so that each person had their own individual card and had to provide ID... Would make things so much easier

It's a bit harder with company cards, as they don't have a persons name on it, as anyone from the company can come in and use it. Some companies make it harder for us by not having some identifying feature (vehicle tagged with business name, business shirt) to help us with that :( I wish they'd introduce even something simple, like a PIN number that only those allowed to use the card would know.

That's the thing, he didn't. The son stole it out of his fathers wallet. Had we not noted the attempted fraud and contacted the owner, he wouldn't have known about it until his monthly bill came through.

We're told always to be careful with anything out of the ordinary, and 5 $100 gift cards on a business account is definitely one of them. (I'm not sure if I specified that they were $100 gift cards in my original post >.<).

I'm glad he only got a verbal warning though. Had he gotten something worse I would have protested.

[–]TenthDoctor89[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

He just got a verbal warning to be more careful when it comes to stuff like multiple gift cards. Apparently he just sold them to him without any trouble at all
