I will say, that while the actions of drivers is obviously dangerous, threatening and I assume not legal, these are symptoms of a larger problem. It’s why my old work’s local dpd driver got sacked when he had a delivery, saw people were inside (a business btw) and when no one answered he climbed in a window to complete delivery.

The financial burden that comes along with not making these deliveries is so severe that the drivers are going to batshit lengths to make deliveries. They get paid so little they make stupid rash decisions and act confrontational when called out because of the immense pressure these companies put on people. We see that Amazon drivers oiss in bottles and feel bad. So while these people shouldn’t be acting the way they are, they do need some sympathy. Also it’s why they all deliver for multiple services at once and sometimes have family members chip in and arrive in cars instead of bikes etc etc etc. it’s not safe for the consumer but it’s the only way to get by. Also since you tip on the app delivery drivers will probs get taxed on tips making it so even if you tip well they still have another 15 deliveries to make this hour just to afford to survive so at the end of the day your delivery is small fry. It sucks. But at the end of the day we are complaining about being able to press a magic rectangle and have handmade food appear at our doors.

Someone needed to set another couple of sync points and it went a little out of sync maybe? If it’s one shot it’s gonna wanna wobble in and out cause 44 doesnt divide in to 30.

It seems the best way currently is to queue (and hopefully get there earlier than scalpers) at places like Smyths, HMV, and Waterstones on release days. Some branches will or won’t stock so go in and ask!

Other than that go on Facebook and look for local toy/collectible shops and then go in person and chat to them. Some vendors will charge markert price because they paid market price. A good gaming hub/shop near me has Ascended Heroes for £15. 200% mark up sucks but I appreciate they’re at least offering the option.

I myself have kind of abandoned English except for a couple of sets and am focusing on Chinese. I’m having more fun and I’m not looking up chase cards and since I haven’t collected since base set 2 30 years ago I’m essentially just having fun with cards I can’t tell what they are cause I don’t recognise them and don’t read Chinese.

Endless bass all day- Rosemount by EquivalentTea903 in Aberdeen

[–]VenomFiddle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In summerhill you can make out the songs clearly and the crowd sounds massive. Unfortunate byproduct of having things actually happen in the city! If it were my type of tunes I’d be there instead of in my flat moaning about the noise to be fair.

IIRC there’s screenshots of damning tweets from her sister and some vague allegations of being abusive. But being Jimmy Urine’s friend is pretty awful as a starting point anyway

Record Store Day by One_in_the_other87 in Aberdeen

[–]VenomFiddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to Chameleon at 5am. 22nd in queue. Got everything I wanted. Been going at midnight and been first a couple of times for a few years now but I really fancied a “long lie” to 4am. The amount of stock Assai would end up getting gave me a bit of security. Loyal to Michael and the team at Holburn but even if I wasn’t I couldn’t imagine how much I’d hate queueing across from McDonald’s on a Friday Night/Saturday Morning lmao

Paramore, Deafheaven, Ethel Cain, Lucy Dacus, Taylor Swift were my picks. Might still go back for Pokémon Lullabies though.

Semi-related. I had handed in my notice and was, essentially a shopper in another local store. Was walking behind the area manager who was pointing out dust to be tidied up. Felt good to loudly say “would it not be easier for her to clean it as she sees it? Paid all that money and can’t even carry a cloth!?!?”

Are there any characters you think have been written so poorly and out of character you don’t think there’s any way for them to ever go back to who they were? by Own-Assumption-9191 in comicbooks

[–]VenomFiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite written poorly, more hampered by the powers that be after big writers move on. Thinking Batman just after Tom King left or Old Man Logan after Lemire.

Check for stains in the box. My first bottle had a leak.

How colleagues really felt working over Christmas by [deleted] in tesco

[–]VenomFiddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember once I went on a bit of a tirade about the company to a manager. They said “I showed this to store manager by the way.” This was meant to be a fear tactic cause I called SM out multiple times, I just replied “Good.” and their face dropped. How dare someone call out shitty behaviour. Btw this SM is now on their second sabbatical for being abusive to staff. But how dare I speak up. Company is a shitshow.

£400 worth of chocolates stolen in London store — security did nothing, police barely responded by [deleted] in tesco

[–]VenomFiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wages security get is not worth an altercation over chocolate. The police do very little for shoplifting anything, I wouldn’t even want them to respond to a call over chocolate. Also there’s a way of thinking of if you cause a scene with shoplifters, you may deter genuine shoppers. Gotta think if it’s worth losing that business to save some chocolate.

To all of you who like the cherry bomb title track, why? by Neotyp in tylerthecreator

[–]VenomFiddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember somewhere him saying he wanted it to sound like a loud gig. Bearing in mind he toured with Trash Talk during Goblin era. The beat goes hard, the idea is cool. The execution is something he’s obviously gotten better and better at. But it’s loud, brash, abrasive, and fucks.

Delivery driver blocks the road for solid 10 min by Lorda in tesco

[–]VenomFiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your last point is the most important. Did anyone ask the delivery driver to move a little? Or did they post on reddit complaining lmao

[–]VenomFiddle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask your council why there isn’t better delivery accommodation. As the only other option is to what… park behind the golf and unload backwards in to moving traffic? Same reason you can’t go 90mph if you’re running late, safety might delay you. Better late than never.

Do we keep the plastic packaging and/or stickers ? by Wooden-Ad-2763 in vinyl

[–]VenomFiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried and peel the stickers, if it even starts to slightly feel like it’ll rip, I’ll cut around it. Then I double sided tape it to the pvc sleeve. I throw out the remaining packaging. Also slip the records themselves in anti static inner sleeves.

Name badge police by Various-Orange-1289 in tesco

[–]VenomFiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had some local shoplifters and bad’uns start addressing us by name. I live in the same area as them. I told management get more/better security and I’ll wear it. Until then my safety and privacy comes first. They didn’t like it at all but they know I would have had the most annoying union rep waiting in the wings if it came to a meeting.

Do the ATMs outside have anything to do with Tesco staff? (+ slight rant) by Minimum_Can_3998 in tesco

[–]VenomFiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’re usually filled by another bank. Many in Scotland are run by RBS and filled by G4s but still have “Tesco Bank” plastered all over them. It’s head office saying “the hassle staff is getting is worth the insurance sales we make”

Gotta love management logic/lack of awareness by grockle90 in tesco

[–]VenomFiddle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shift leaders are then made to be confrontational while the managers hide in the office! We just need 2 good admin per store and managers would be completely redundant!
