The Flood / Purge, or Gladiatorial Combat on PPV
« on: May 16, 2015, 09:48:28 PM »
You are now President.  You walked into office with extremely high inmate and crime percentages.  Thinking they know human instinct because they watched some high budget movies, Congress is now asking you to address these issues, and they offer you two choices.

A)  Purge.  Essentially the same deal as the movie where for one night a year,  all crime including murder is legal for 12 hours.  Congress believes that this can solve crime rates because people can release their inner beasts for just one night, and will therefore be "cleansed" for a whole year, leading to lower crime rates since their bloodlust should be sated for a whole year.

Or

B)  Gladiatorial combat.   Basically you turn the prison system into one big orgy of fighting, but only for perpetrators of serious crimes like murder, rape, etc.  They all fight for their right to survive while entertaining the masses on Pay Per View, and there can be a volunteer system for people who just want to go in and fight.

The Flood / Our management is a team of geniuses, I tell ya hwat
« on: May 16, 2015, 03:56:20 PM »
So in the Grocery area of our store, management has decided to reduce markdowns (where we lower the price of food about to expire,  or if we have an overabundance of it) by telling us to only stock to the rate of sale.   That means if we sell 4 Eye of Round steaks we only put out 4 for the whole day essentially.

However last Saturday, because we followed this new rule (and we were shorthanded all throughout the grocery side ) we had empty shelves EVERYWHERE.  Our market manager happened to shop that day, and ripped our managers a new one.

So what plan do these managers concoct to make sure something like that happens?

They give us "a new gameplan"...


TO FILL UP THE FUCKING SHELVES WITH MERCHANDISE

The Flood / ITT: Verbatim might get angry

When I came into the Meat Department to begin work yesterday, I noticed we had 4 overflowing trash cans with about three more carts full of meat.  Delicious, succulent meat that animals were mercilessly slaughtered for to feed all those poor hungry people.

$671.55 of meat to be exact.

And it is all being thrown out.


It's all going to a landfill.  All that meat wasted because people didn't want to buy any.  Cows, chickens and pigs all died for this.

The Flood / Uncomfortable retail moments
« on: May 07, 2015, 06:45:58 PM »
So some greasy - looking  woman reeking of cigarettes and booze ran up to me squealing "OH MAH GAW HOW ARE YOU" and embraced me in a hug that left my skin crawling.  She then realized she mistook me for her tenant because I looked like him...except a few inches shorter.

What are your awkward retail moments?

Example from about twenty minutes ago:

"I'm looking for Ham Hocks."

"Sorry, ma'am,  but we're sold out right now."

"YOU NEVER HAVE THIS ITEM."

"We had it come in just last week ma'am,  but they sell fast during the first of the month."

"DON'T LIE TO ME, I'VE BEEN COMING IN FOR SEVEN MONTHS AND YOU NEVER HAVE THEM."

"We had some come in last week, and some came in two weeks ago, and I put them out on the floor, ma'am. "

"STOP LYING TO ME! *Ragequits*"

Because, y'know,  it's my life's mission to lie to you and inconvenience your shopping experience."

I say all people with even a drop of Sand Nigger blood should be cleansed from this forum.  We don't need any secret ISIS agents on this forum.

The weebs would be next, but only if they don't change their viewpoints to match ours.

And no furries.  We don't need any furfags yiffing up this forum and spreading their cancer.

It's disgusting how they're treating Kojima, and it seems like they just want to do Mobile Gaming, Gambling, and other non-video game products.  I feel that after Metal Gear Solid V, Konami is going to burn.

While watching Mr. Plinkett tear apart the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, I found myself agreeing with him 99% of the time.  One of the points he brings up that I like is the total lack of emotion.  It doesn't help that the writing in the Prequel Trilogy is a complete joke compared to the Original Trilogy, and it makes you wonder what happened to George Lucas in the years following Return of the Jedi.

Take for example the Luke vs Vader fight.

YouTube


There's a lot of emotion going into this fight.  Luke doesn't want to fight Vader and really just wants to turn him back to the Light Side.  He doesn't fight to kill and even deactivates his lightsaber right in front of his father.  He just keeps trying to convince his father that he does have good in him, and only goes in to try and kill Vader when Vader rustles his jimmies regarding his sister.

But even after disarming his father and being goaded by Emperor Sheev to kill Vader and become his new Right Hand, Luke instead tosses his lightsaber to the side and pledges his full allegiance to the Jedi.  After an enraged Emperor Sheev tries to kill him, Vader has an inner turmoil in his head about whether he should help out his sour, grumpy master or save his Gary Sue son.

He ends up turning on Sheev and tosses him down the hole.  SAYONARA SHEEV.

To add up to this, we have a musical number and emotional tone that helps set the mood.  You can tell that Luke doesn't want to fight and keeps holding back to prevent his own fall to the Dark Side while pulling his father back.


Then compare it to....this.

YouTube


Emotionless and dull.

Yes, the fight is much better choreographed.  But holy shit I don't know how something could look so cool but be completely empty and devoid of any emotion.

Seriously, the lead-up to the fight isn't foreboding, and neither does it build tension like in the Luke vs Vader fight.  It literally goes like this:

Obi-Wan:  "Anakin you're being bad."

Anakain:  "Obi-Wan I hate you."

Obi-Wan:  "Okay, let's fight."

That's it.  Obi-Wan doesn't even fucking try to convince Anakin to come back to the Light, he goes after Anakin with the intent to kill him, scolds him like a child, then proceeds to fight him.  For 9 fucking minutes they just wave their lightsabers around, do a balancing act on a pipe as thin as Tara Reid, and have an irrelevant shouting match over a lava stream.  I'll give credit, Obi-Wan actually admitted he failed Anakin.  But that's the only emotional connection that we could remotely feel in that fight.  Otherwise, it was just two guys fighting each other.

Another thing:  Are we really supposed to be seeing two friends fighting?  I don't see that.  Throughout all three movies, Anakin and Obi-Wan just seem to do nothing but fire pot shots at each other and get pissed off at one another.  Sure they share a couple jokes, but that's it.  All of their "We're best friends" stuff happens off-screen in between the movies.

The Flood / Some Mexican tried to fight me at work today
« on: April 13, 2015, 04:31:34 PM »
So we have spareribs for sale at $1.97 a pound, which is a nice deal for a big stack of ribs.   However whenever we get them out out,  they get sold out fairly quick.

Some Mexican dude came in wondering if we had any.  I politely told him "No".  I guess he couldn't take that for am answer, so he kept asking if we did "rainy day checks".

Now if yiu don't know, a rainy day check is when if we do not have an item that's on sale in our current stock, the customer can ask to buy it at a later date if we get it and the sale is over.

Walmart does not do that, as I politely informed him.  That just infuriated him and he was screaming at me to get him a rainy day check for the ribs, even closing in on me.  His daughter and wife held him back thankfully because I didn't feel like song my job over this moron.

I hate people
