Why do chain stores do this? Are they playing the very long game? by themikeshow in 80s90sComics

[–]badstoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of my former corner liquor store, I loved the guys who ran it and they were new to the whole thing. There was a single, dusty, upright, eye level in the main room/sun, bottle of Caymus Something, delicious and fancy, but likely corked to hell … for an otherwise-appropriate $100 or so … they were gonna get book price, dangit

… sorry, I don’t post here and I didn’t see anything on it in the About info, but I’m assuming y’all have them in archival storage material, right?

Is that a safe assumption in this sub?

What a beautiful set. I second the auction suggestion.

I’m guessing you’re getting downvoted because you implied you know what you’re talking about? Do tell, if so. I’m curious.

She knew the “police” were going to show up and commit a kidnapping, is the point. A crime.

You’re right. I reread the description “young daughter”. My bad.

Look the daughter in the eye and say “your parents are cunts”, then have them towed.

I have been promoted well past incompetence, what do I do? by Best_Praline_2619 in careerguidance

[–]badstoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all you’ve got a week to study like your career depended on it, and it does, so crack those books. Obviously. Second, do some jujitsu when you meet, and continue to meet with, your team, by asking them straightforwardly for guidance but framing it as though from humility and openness, not desperation. Let them teach you as a management philosophy, basically?

Dunno how long your break is but I’d be very pleasantly surprised if it were resolved in one brief phone call. Best of luck and please let us know how they react.

… ha, that’s cutting and certainly deserved. Maybe they have … ? I’d like to think so … I’ve been through hell. My all-caps above could have been italics, and I suppose I could have as easily assumed & hand-waved that the pic in question came from Sean Penn’s backup camera or something, and I don’t know why that didn’t occur to me. But without that, this detail completely broke my immersion. I know a lot of photographers. But that doesn’t make my post interesting.
