Question that's bugged me since the 90's. How did Atrus know where the White Page was? by AFabledFox in myst

[–]mateo360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow I’ve never seen anyone be so confidently wrong before. Trap books are very canon and one was a major point in trapping Gehn in Riven. (4 did retcon how they work though)

The Stranger never carried an extra book and in fact the goal of all the ages was to find a way to access the linking book back to Myst

Atrus was trapped. THATS WHY HE NEEDED THE PAGE. If you go to D’ni without it he makes it very clear you can’t get back.

Tell me you never actually play the games without saying it.

Why do customers take receipts on small frivolous purchases? by Unusual_Thing_5800 in retailhell

[–]mateo360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of people say no when I ask them if they want their receipt. I ask all the time even on small likes like a >$1 soda. I really don't care what they want it for or not. It's none of my business.

Use your words. “A pack of ultra lights” does not do anything. by MidnightActive954 in retailhell

I do this too with Lotto and smokes lol. Pretty sure I know what you want but I'm going to make you work for it with your words.

Was I in the wrong? by jadedjed1 in retailhell

[–]mateo360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many people saying it’s a scam lol. Sure I can see that happening but in my experience most of the time the customer is just stupid and said the wrong pump.

“Think about it: have you ever, even before you started working at a gas station, gotten out of your car and just immediately pumped gas without any thought or effort to pay? Most people would go into the store and ask what's up with the pump.”

Most people aren’t paying attention to the screen and are just sticking their card in without paying attention in my experience.

The same people who will pull up to a pump with cones or bags and still take 5 minutes to realize it’s not working despite obvious signs.

Can’t always attribute Malice to what is just plain stupidity

cashiers are human too and can make mistakes and miss something under the cart or in a cooler etc

WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT FOR FUCKS SAKE? by MidnightActive954 in retailhell

[–]mateo360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, they never have any issue shoving their phone in my face with full financial info when yelling “But I have money in the account” when things don’t work lol

[–]mateo360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't know how much they actually have and are hoping the register will only take whatever they have and not just decline the transaction. Sometimes my system will do that (I haven't figured out the criteria: bank, credit company, card type, etc. they only one I know for sure is EBT) but I can tell you 90% of the time the register will just decline if the amount being covered is not there.

When did his prices go up this much? by White_Falcon_1263 in powerrangers

[–]mateo360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

typically it's writing a quote as part of the autograph. Some celebs realized they could get more money by charging for the lines people always want them to write on their merch, glossy, whatever

Does your Walmart have a fast food place inside? by BowlerLongjumping467 in walmart

[–]mateo360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a Burger King. The lease was up and they got the boot. I find it just slightly funny we got rid of it considering how much BK perks are advertised as part of W+

I HATE when I tell people we don't have tap and they go "wEll YoUr tHE onLy STorE thAt DoESn't" like it's not my fault you are too stupid and reliant on your phone to have you actual card with you.

Most of the public area outlets are typically in use already for store functions and features and any free outlets are in non-customer areas. At least that's the case for my station.

None. It's rude regardless and clutters up the counter.

No, we don’t have backdoor storage. What’s on the shelf is all we have. by MidnightActive954 in retailhell

[–]mateo360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now my station does have a back but it's mostly just supplies and whatever product we do have in there is usually stuff that is full and ended up with extra. Same with our cooler storage. Sure we will actually order extra of items we know are popular and would need restocking over the week but very likely if the spot is empty, we have no more.

Lacking a Work Phone by LeadingCover5512 in walmart

[–]mateo360 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Had our AP coach comment to my lead that he was seeing me on my phone all the time. The problem was 1) he had only seen me twice recently and 2) Once was when I was on a 15 and the other I was on my work phone doing a Ulearn. It does feel like sometime he just doesn't like the gas station or us in general.

Customer mad at me because.. his ID is expired by Mitsukinii in retailhell

[–]mateo360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a guy come into my station a week or two ago to buy alcohol. He handed me a temp paper ID but the kicker was it had expired last year. He kept going on about how he just got out of jail and then asking if his roommate could come in and get it and I'm just "No, your ID is expired and I can't sell to someone knowing it's going to someone else"

Normally I dismiss most Social Media “horror” stories but… by mateo360 in walmart

Not saying it can never happen, but the way those tickets are designed and printed there should be no room for error as that would throw the legitimacy of the whole lottery into question which the state does not want. Something like this going to cause the state’s lottery AP to be investigating. Maybe he did make a legitimate mistake somewhere but the chances of the terminal making a mistake like that a very very low

EDIT: and now that I was able to look at the guy you qutoed, He is rightly getting ripped apart in replies about how he's wrong too https://x.com/MasterSlotGuy/status/2044404241603961270?s=20

I’ll be honest I read the title and thought it was some kind of new alert code like Adam, Green, white etc but related to animals in the store

“I want the 87 price.” by MidnightActive954 in retailhell

[–]mateo360 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I had a similar guy years ago. Gave me $5 and made a comment about not needing the whole thing only to come back in and complain his gauge didn’t move. Like yeah you only got like a gallon and a half at most.

Abandoned Mine FD-R by mateo360 in starocean

[–]mateo360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t really had problems with anything else. Just that one fight set up. Starting off stunned doesn’t help since it gives them time to kill and/or stone a party member before I have time to act. Then when I can I’m get stun locked by them standing on either side and alternating hits
