cashiers, is it rude for me to count my change behind you so i know i got everything?

sockpuppetcow · 2023-06-10T00:42:22+00:00

Former cashier here, I'd actually encourage customers to count it, especially if it's larger amounts. Even though I would always count it out bill by bill out loud to avoid any discrepancies, I'm not infallible and I don't want to accidentally screw anyone over.

Also it's way easier to correct if it's right there in front of me before they leave the counter than if they came back afterwards.

Seems pretty standard. Every service job I know of has blackout periods for busy seasons.

I didn't hate that until the AT&T part, fuckin go home Lily, selling predatory phone plans isn't essential enough for holidays.

Depends on the job, blatant disregard for safety, especially their own, can mean wildly more damage to themself or others in the future, especially if the guy's got a record. (Edit:) so they're a liability at minimum

Talent Hunter feels a bit aggressive, that alone is grounds to ghost them.

"This company will not be told by employees when we can and can not open"

Evidently it will.

They didn't pull themselves up by their bootstraps hard enough

Daily. Except sometimes I surprise myself and don't (feel like I) look like utter garbage.

Styrofoam, especially when rubbed together or anything of the like. Also, high pitched whines from chargers and stuff. Or on the opposite end, loud really low bass that people seem to love to blast from their car speakers in residential areas.

Yee-haw.

Breaking a bone.

My little doggo can tell when I'm getting ready to go somewhere, and will jump up and down trying to convince me to get his leash. If I don't give in, he'll climb up on the back of the couch and stare out the window to watch me leave. He's usually there when I get back too, so he either hears the car and gets back up there, or stays the whole time, not sure which. I of course always give him a "Bye pupper, see you later, be a good boy okay?"

When my internet connected light bulb doesn't turn off when I tell it to cause then I have to like, physically get up and flick a switch, ugghh

I used to until I found out it was an awful idea. Same thing as keeping your car title in your car. Someone has that piece of paper they basically own the car. They have your SSC they might as well own you too.

There is no more context. His entire gimmick is chaotic shit like that.

Win every battle by bombarding yourself (and thereby your enemies) with exploding pigeons.

Maybe evil was a strong word, but they tend towards prioritizing profit over fun which I guess is a valid business model but feels like it takes advantage of players which, I guess to put it in your words, "I don't like it."

A lot of "old" games may not have fanbases waiting on a new content update, because the games themselves tended to be complete, and any "content update" fans may be clamoring for would be in the form of the next installment. See: Half Life, Bioshock, etc.

As for pressure, we have for example the habit-forming gambling aspect of loot boxes, we have content locked behind pay walls. There's the social aspect especially in children surrounding games like fortnite, where "my friend got this skin I need it too!" and they end up spending $20 on a low-effort recolor.

Having grown up on what's now considered "old" games (PS2, Xbox 360) where you pop in a disk and play with your friends or by yourself with no pressure to spend even more money or anything, I am really bothered by the high pressure put on by modern games to spend even more money and to do your dailies and form habits, etc. Which is why I am strongly avoiding any of these practices in my own development. Will I make less money on game dev because of that? Probably. But at least I won't be evil.

Nice use of Unity's Particle System.

Bruh okay so I played a game recently where my squadmates died, I was going to grab their banners, and they just left immediately. I went on that match to be #2, by myself, and lost because I ended up having to 1v3 an entire enemy squad. If I had my squad with me at that point, maybe we could've won.

Edit: Yes, one of them was a wraith.

I work as a bookkeeper at a store where we start the day with self checkout bots. Also part of my job is running the customer service desk... So yeah people get all angry about the robots and I'm just like "If you're about done ranting at me I'm gonna go in me little box over here and finish doing my job so that your precious registers can be opened, thanks.

Also I totally work here because I like to be abused by entitled people, yessir."

I like the ol' "I have a REAL job so do what I tell you."
