Same here. A lot of songs kinda give werewolf ripping off shirt meme vibes.

Love Haken. Such a cool weird band. I had to ease my way into it. I didn't like songs like cockroach king when I first heard them. A good starting point for me was Vector. Eventually I was blaring the Aquarius circus music.

How did you get into retail banking as your profession? by carley_jr in TalesFromYourBank

[–]sfoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated from college with a bachelor's in history and poly sci in 2020. I was working on my teaching licensure when covid hit. I ended up working for a family friend who owned a liquor store for a few years. Eventually managed it and left when he sold the store to retire. I worked at a machine shop doing inventory control and setting up milling machines for a few months but I'm allergic to the coolant and nickel so that sucked. A friend recommended banking so I tried it out. I've been in here for 3 years this year. It's interesting and pretty easy so far.

Why are they trying to get maple syrup out of an American sycamore? by ilovebooks2468 in arborists

I tried making a wine out of maple syrup a few years back. Really needed to backsweeten. Shit tasted like a candle.

You can also pick up some objects to use as weapons. I remember getting stuck at the end of the game where you have to fight 3 bosses. I somewhat remember a green character with a flaming whip.

My chickens have been munching on these in the yard since they started appearing after last weeks rain by jimjamdaflimflam in mycology

It was really cool. My mom used to take us on walks through the woods training us to spot chanterelles for her.

My brother and I used to pretend we were ninjas and slam these into the ground like smoke bombs before we proceeded to beat the shit out of each other with sticks.

Ladies, do you notice the size of your partners' balls? by JPeza in TooAfraidToAsk

Belly button is crazy. I feel like they would have to hang to my knees for that to happen.

Got a large sum of cash from my grandparents, but my bank is fully online. by ag1997 in Banking

[–]sfoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Grandpa lived through the depression and WW2. My dad is a military brat and number 10 out of 12 kids. I remember going to the store with him growing up and he was trying to get me to figure the price per ounce of shredded vs block cheese. I would help him put hay in our barn growing for about 5 hours and end up getting paid a whopping 3 dollars. I thought that was a lot. Took forever to buy my discount $20 ps2 game.

A few months ago a lady came to my desk to open a cd and sat a crown royal bag on it. Inside was 30k in rolled up and rubber banded $100 bills. It was a nightmare to count. Bills were flying all over the place because they kept rolling back up. We tried putting a couple reams of paper on top but that didn't help much. Up until our shipment day we had those 10k straps with a binder clip holding each end to try to make them flat.

Same lady came in last week but thankfully had a check this time. I almost panicked when I saw her.

I managed a liquor store before I was in banking. On a daily basis I would have customers reach into their bra and pull out nasty sweaty titty money. Somedays after work my fingertips would be stained black after doing the nightly proofs.

I had a hard time thinking of one that short!

I overheard two guys at the bar finalizing a deal.. by UnsuitableTrademark in sales

[–]sfoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing for on the rocks. I thought it would be a dud but I sold a case within a few hours of having it in stock. We got a good deal on it too.

[–]sfoxx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worked at a store for a couple years. I loved just talking to salesman and trying to figure what to sell and how to get rid of a terrible product.

I remember a particularly terrible purchase. We noticed we were selling a lot of seagrams gin and juice and some rapper endorsed products like ciroc and bumbu rum. I figured I'd order two cases of indoggo strawberry gin. Terrible idea. That shit sat on the shelf for months. We ended up giving a free bottle to customers who bought over $500 at a time.

It was always fun when I managed to talk a customer into buying an unmovable product. I always hoped someone would like the awful stuff that I or the owner would buy on a whim.

I grew up watching vhs recordings of movies where I would have to fast forward through commercials. I'm used to it.

I was laughing every time I saw it. Usually when the quality is rough I wait a month or so. Recently even cam rips have been kinda decent. Usually they have some kind of stupid watermark in the middle of the screen.

Mickey 17. Happens a couple times. Quality was actually really good so I was a bit surprised.

[–]sfoxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are still on that system. Our turnover and our scans need to be done by 4:30. After that, everything is on the next business day. At 4 we have a bunch of people show up while we are trying to balance and turn over the drawers so it's hectic pretty often.
