The only real complaint I have is that I’m not allowed to take my legally required breaks.

But I can be fired for not taking them.

But they schedule you so that you can’t take them without abandoning your post.

And you can’t abandon your post.

Basically you’re expected to just skip your breaks and keep your mouth shut about it. But it could be worse.

Well it’s kinda lame when a person announces what company they work for to exclaim that you hate that company But refuse to reveal why. What’s the matter hun, not getting enough attention at home?

Right, blame an entire company over the mistakes/misdoings of an individual. Reasonable.

I doubt that.

At least that post was satire, I hope.

I haz kick 4 u 2

I did that to Neglify once.

He liked it.

I don’t like Walmart because they’re a terrible company. I’ll just leave it at that.

We’re doing just fine without you, and fyi Wal-Mart donates a ton of money to children’s miracle network hospitals. Even more than they advertise they do.

When our story opened up everyone was afraid it would put our local grocery store out of business. And it did. But (almost) everyone that worked there got hired at this Wal-Mart and now makes more money than they did there, so it didn’t exactly hurt people’s jobs.

Its not the villain everyone says it is, it’s just any other large chains where some branches are better than others.

Also did you know all employees get quarterly bonuses based on how good that particular store did? And it is on an individual store basis. So in a sense when you shop at Wal-Mart you are helping the workers in your local community.

It’s personal.

Sounds reasonable.

of Kimba The White Lion. Now I can never watch that movie again! 0/10 movie!

Ugh. I’m a manager at Wal-Mart (talk down to me for working at Wal-Mart all you want but management here pays me very comfortably) and I totally lost my cool with a customer today. I don’t feel bad about it either.

Our Wal-Mart has a gas station (an actual wal-Mart gas station not a Murphy’s like some Wal-Mart’s have) and a customer there was so furious about something they demanded to speak with a manager. So I went out there.

So, they wanted to get $4 in gas. (Yes this all happened over $4) They apparently didn’t know how fuel pumps work or something. There was only one attendant on duty and she had a line of customers so she couldn’t just drop them to go pump his gas for him until she got her line down and when there’s input one of them they aren’t supposed to step outside anyway unless it’s an emergency.

Anyway, as I get out there I hear the Bastard screaming at the girl “Well I guess you’re just too stupid to turn the pump on!” because supposedly his gas wouldn’t pump.

So I walked out there with him and proceeded to, without any trouble, pump his gas for him. And, with his recent uncalled for insult on an innocent cashier, I calmly said, “Hey, would you look at that… I pulled the trigger and the gas pumped, imagine that. I guess somebody’s just too stupid to pump gas.”

I don’t feel bad about it either. The trend (in this town anyway) to treat retail employees like absolute garbage knowing they have to just take it is getting old. Normally I would’ve just pumped his gas and left with an obvious smirk but that guy was too much.

If it’s poking fun at yhwx, it probably isn’t sarcasm.

Indeed.

I’m not going to do it. If I do, I allow the mods to temp ban me for three months.

Except that a good audio technica turntable doesn’t have to cost $500.

But you didn’t just say it was good (which is a crime in of itself), you said it was the best.

I actually didn’t. I said it was my favorite. Huge difference.

I think it’s good but I don’t think Its “objectively” the best. I just enjoy it the most.

Its like all good and stuff.

I dunno though it is strange because I generally agree with everyone else about the quality of the other star trek films, except I also like that one.

Great news!

I don’t know exactly what it is, but something about the dark atmosphere Nemesis is honestly my favorite Star Trek movie. Although I like several of the others almost as much. II and VI are really good as well.

Best of luck to you and your father, Warbler.

I would like to bitch about the fact that on my computer when I click on the speaker icon to change the volume the slider doesn’t show up for a good 3 to 4 minutes. It’s really frustrating. My computer’s capable of mixing music, making fanedits in 1080P and gaming, but changing the volume is just too much I guess.
