Possessed

Speaking of Super Mario Bros, Super Mario All-Stars (SNES) gives me such mixed feelings I feel like I might explode.  WHY!?!?  The graphics and sound quality it gives the games is great.  But for SMB1, they fucked up the physics and nearly ruined the game!  It's all choppy and hard to get momentum in all stars, in the original it was so smooth and once you mastered it I felt like you could just glide through the levels.

The Super Mario All Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3 kicks ass though.

I burned a hole in my shirt smoking a cigar.  (a cigar filled with tobacco no less... out of character for me I know)

I laugh now because I think alot of those people are fine with shootings in schools as long as no one is playing an RPG.

 Have you ever made a moderate statement?

I would be more inclined to believe you if you hadn't included the detail that wal mart corporate never returned your calls or emails.  This is not consistent with my experience, but like I said I suppose wal mart could have made it easier to get in contact with them in recent years.

I dunno it could be true but the whole story just sounds fishy to me.  For one why would the local police help her but not him?/why did he not try the local police?

Also, a more important plot hole in this story, I currently work for wal-mart in customer service, I can tell you from experience that getting in contact with Wal-Mart corporate is not difficult.  However, as his story is from the past, it is possible that they have... opened their doors a little wider in a manner of speaking since this incident.

The state police came all the way to your local wal mart just to harass you in the parking lot?  That's... odd.

Unless you start selling meth.

Don't do that.

But in all seriousness, why did you leave your job at wal mart?

My bones are aching, but I don't think a storm is coming, although I would like to get home quick.

Think of how lame the script to "Ocarina of Time" would be without them!

From a certain point of view.  From another, reading ten year old threads could be considered a negative level of productivity, meaning that perhaps you now have more to read than ever?*

*Don't think about it too hard...

Including the ones from ten years ago that were bumped for no reason?

I've discovered that crushed red peppers go great in scrambled eggs, if you like to spice things up.

There's no point in hurrying the edit is weeks perhaps months away from being ready.  I work full time and when I'm not at work sometimes I feel like relaxing instead of sitting at the computer editing movies lol.

Spending half the night getting sick is just part of partying man, don't consume if you can't take the consequences. WOOOOOO.  (ice cream)

How IS feel pretty stupid doing these days?  I've been meaning to catch up with him.

Because you're a jive turkey.

Just copy the text into a "block quote" and type "This Asshole said:"

Well that escalated... lol oh well.

There's a difference between complaining and being downright rude.  I'm not talking about when a customer asks for an explanation for why they couldn't save 50 cents on tater tots.  I'm talking about when that person receives the explanation that oh, turns out the coupon was in english after all, and they got the wrong item (which is understandable, it happens.  But what isn't acceptable:) so they start yelling at the cashier and taking out their frustration on them.

When a customers card or check bounces, it is NEVER the cashiers fault.  Ever.  They have NO influence over that.  (I'm talking specifically about a card being declined for insufficient funds here, I'm not referring to when a card is incorrectly entered into the system or is punched into the system with the wrong numbers or is ran as the wrong type of card)  Cashiers do NOT have the power to approve or deny cards, which is a concept some people don't understand.  Their card is declined for insufficient funds, so they immediately start yelling at the cashier and telling them they did something wrong.  "Invalid Card", "Wrong Card Number" "Card Read Error" may be the cashier, or more likely the computer-operated registers fault.  "Insufficient funds" is NEVER the cashiers fault.

Also something alot of customers don't understand is just how much control the computer/register has.  If the store policy is you cannot buy gift cards in the same ticket as anything else, then that's it.  You CAN'T do it.  The register will not let you, and no matter how badly the cashier may wish to oblige you, this breach of store policy is not even possible.

Like at some (maybe all?) wal-marts you can only buy tobacco at certain registers.  Some customers throw a fit and demand an exception be made for them.  It is literally not possible. The register will not let the cashier do it even if they did think this customer should be immune to the rules.

Talking down to a cashier is a sure sign that you're an ignorant piece of shit as well.  And while the cashier in your story absolutely handled the situation incorrectly and you had every right to be angry, this is not the 'typical' situation of cashier bullying I was referring to.

Not being capable of posting anything without being needlessly (and often to your own detriment hilariously) condescending?  (Quite typical behavior of those less enlightened than I...)

Indeed.
