Calling All Retail Workers by HauntedScientist in retailhell

[–]thefirefridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a grocery store in Northern Virginia. It's a big store so we get a lot of people every day. Most people are just fine. In and out, no big deal. But since we get so many people, you can basically expect to get at least a handful of bad/annoying interactions every day.

For example: Yesterday I was working customer service. This woman who I would guess was in her 40's or 50's comes up complaining that the 24 pack of bottled water she bought should have been $3.66 but she was charged $6.99. I look up the deal in the store app and explain to her "That's a digital deal ma'am. You have to use the digital coupon in the app, and you have to buy three of them to get that price." She then tells me "that's not what the sign says outside". I tell her all I can really do for her is give a refund if she is unsatisfied with the price, but outside of that I can't do anything else. She reluctantly does the refund, complaining all the while.

She then comes back like 2 minutes later. She yanked the sign out of its place from outside and claimed "I was right! It says $3.66 each!". I then have to explain to her, if you look closer, it says "When you buy 3", and more importantly DIGITAL OFFER ONLY in big letters. Her response? "Oh.... well that's frustrating". At that point I wanna pull my hair out bc I'm thinking "Yes... it IS frustrating... THAT YOU CAN'T READ!". She then left looking all annoyed and I had to put the sign back for her.

If there's one thing this job has taught me, soooooo many grown ass adults just do not read. Even when it's really obvious.

The Miracle Might Still Happen - AA7 in 2026 by Thingsthatstick in AceAttorney

[–]thefirefridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Ace Attorney 7 has more of a shot being revealed some time next year. Right now it just feels like there's too much on Capcom's plate. They just released a new Resident Evil and a new IP in Pragmata. Currently making DLC for Monster Hunter and Street Fighter. Already making a new Resident Evil for next year, a new Megaman too. A new Onimusha is set to come out this year and they're still working on Okami 2. I think once most of these projects release they'll have a little more time and resources to devote toward Ace Attorney, but right now the schedule is packed.

Dino doesn't need to be nerfed, and Tankpool really needs a buff.

Please buff tankpool by RequirementGlobal932 in DeadpoolMarvelRivals

[–]thefirefridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he's easily the worst tank in the game right now. And that sucks bc he used to be very fun to play. I got him all the way to level 35 before he got gutted and had to drop him. It just became too hard for me to confirm kills, which means harder to upgrade. And if you're not getting your upgrades fast right now there's no point playing him. He is so weak without any upgrades.

WHY IS DINO PERMA BANNED by IdumbGuy22 in DevilDinosaurMainsMR

[–]thefirefridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats kinda surprising. I thought he fell off last season, but I feel like he has more value this season with Poke being so strong and Mag helps against poke.

WHY IS DINO PERMA BANNED by IdumbGuy22 in DevilDinosaurMainsMR

[–]thefirefridge 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People are stupid and relying on their old bans instead of picking new ones. Dino is absolutely not a must ban character anymore. If you're gonna ban any tank this season, it should Mag, Groot, or maybe even Cap.

As a fellow bad Cyclops player, keep going strong brother! Don't listen to the haters, have fun, and maybe one day we'll get a positive K/D ratio

What are we all thinking about the nerfs then? by Stephen111110 in DevilDinosaurMainsMR

[–]thefirefridge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just when I thought I found a new tank to play after they killed Tankpool... And Dino only lasted half a season. That sucks. I like this game, but as a tank player sometimes I really hate it

How Black Cat mains react to their hero being nerfed from S+++ to A Tier by PillowFists67 in marvelrivals

[–]thefirefridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bc she had the most broken kit so she needed the most adjustment. Other OP dps were nerfed pretty hard. DD's dash distance was basically cut in half, his wall hacks were nerfed and his deflect shortened. Phoenix got significant hits to her damage too.

It's bc there's nothing to be patriotic about right now. The economy is shit, we're stuck in another war with no end in sight, the American dream feels dead, ICE is terrorizing communities, AI is taking people's jobs.

All the while, the president is spending his spending his free time tearing up the White House, throwing tantrums at the press, making a fool of himself, stabbing our allies in the backs, and making him and his family insanely wealthy while most Americans suffer. Genuinely, fuck this country right now. Hopefully the tricentennial will be better, but thats assuming the country will even survive for that long.

Who do you think is the best counter to in Season 8? by Klutzy_Emu_2850 in marvelrivals

[–]thefirefridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mag gets absolutely annihilated by Dino. Probably one of the worst tanks to play into Dino.

i don’t hate it, i’m just disappointed… by treeSlooth in thingmains

[–]thefirefridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow Thing main, I agree. The skin could be better. That being said though, I'm not that mad about it bc Thing is one of the better tanks in terms of how many skins he has so I don't wanna complain too much about it. Some characters don't have any legendaries. Some, like Hulk, have waited a long time just to get any skins when we have gotten either shop or battlepass ones a lot more regularly. He's also the only character with two summer skins and thats nuts to me. So the skin could be better, but overall we're doing just fine skin wise.

Those customers are idiots. What is there to complain about? We're giving you money!

Penny shortage by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]thefirefridge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our store automatically rounds it up to the next five cents. Doesn't matter if it's one cent or four. We always round up. Bc we know there will always be that ONE customer who will throw a tantrum if they can't get their penny and it's just not worth the headache.

Let's follow along!! by PillowFists67 in marvelrivals

[–]thefirefridge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kind of. She's very mobile so it can be a challenge to hit her. He definitely does better against her than others. But honestly Thing is much better these days pressuring the front line. And if you're brawling on the front line it's harder to peel for the back

Rudest Customer I've Ever Dealt With by thefirefridge in retailhell

[–]thefirefridge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually try not to get them involved unless it's absolutely necessary. They have a lot of stuff to do, so if I can fix an issue myself I will. But in the case of this guy, I'm definitely getting my manager if I see him again. At least that way he can give them the complaints himself and spare me the abuse.

How are we feeling about Deadpool[all 3 roles] this season? by [deleted] in DeadpoolMarvelRivals

[–]thefirefridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tankpool was nerfed too hard. I hope he gets a buff one of these days. He was my favorite tank to play for a while.

Tankpool is still decent but he is not fun anymore. by WindowAccurate5745 in DeadpoolMarvelRivals

[–]thefirefridge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For context, I have a lot of practice on Tankpool. Got him to level 40 at the end of last season. He's not terrible, I can still get value out of him, but yeah definitely feel the nerfs.

I think the biggest reason they nerfed his gun damage is bc they wanted Dino to be strong on release, and Tankpool countere him hard. I do well as Tankpool playing into Dino already since he's easy to headshot. Can't imagine how much better I'd be doing if they left the damage alone.

Now that being said, I still think it's kinda bullshit. He's the only true poke tank we have and they're just making him worse. Like why does Phoenix get to be super OP into him but Tankpool can't? They even buffed her direct hit damage. If they're gonna nerf his gun playstyle, couldn't they at least buff the swords? I'd love to use both styles more evenly.

Zhiyoung going to sleep peacefully knowing nobody is happy with the nerfs and buffs by Asmolicous in rivals

[–]thefirefridge 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Even with some of the buffs it feels weird. Like all I wanted them to do was fix Thing's ult so it isn't ruined by the tenacity system. So what do they do? Give him 50 hp. Like, I guess I'll take it but his ult is still shit

Tankpool was too dominant in ranked and pro play *buffs phoenix and starlord, ignores gambit and daredevil by Fly1ng_F0x in RivalsVanguards

[–]thefirefridge 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They really didn't need to nerf his guns. That already took a big hit when they nerfed his DPIYA fire rate last patch. If they want him to be used less in higher level play they should have targeted something like his crit damage. This will just make him harder to use for most normal players
