Well, I'm never gonna play WoW then.
I'm sorry, but when you guys speak of Banning an individual from your store... How does that work? The stores where I'm from don't even let cashiers in the 20 Items or Fewer lane confront people who have 50 items

it means that person's business is no longer welcome and if they don't leave they'll call the cops
generally that rule is for people that are behaving dangerously or pose a threat to other customers.

It's probably both, considering it's the same devs.
[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;33332069]The EULA? Oh that's the thing that pops up whenever you install a program that everyone clicks right past. No one takes it seriously, not even developers. I once saw one that granted the developing company the right to your soul and all your material possessio- wait why are you leaving?[/QUOTE]
I remember Gamestop doing that to have a check on how many people actually read that.
To add onto this, Itunes has a part in the EULA where you agree not to use Itunes for the manufacturing or distribution of biological, chemical or nuclear weapons (or something along those lines).

Knowing Apple they are probably working on that themselves.
Anyone else not looking forward to black friday? So not excited for all the retards who don't read the limited 10 per store on our best buy flyer.
Anyone here know if Fed-Ex hires minors? I'm 17, and I wanted to get a job like that. Basically stuff like warehouse stuff, etc.
Someone decided to point some roman candles towards my store and light them off. Not a terribly smart idea considering the exterior of the building is wooden. Nor did they consider that the local police station is across the road from me.
Oh well, no windows damaged. And it was pretty funny to watch the cop on duty chase after a bunch of kids. I don't think he caught any of them though.

I'm not looking forward to it. Our store opens at 5:30 am so unlike most stores where you'd just stay up until you open, I have to go to bed really fucking early to wake up at like 3:30 am to go to work.
Also we get like more idiots in our store than any other so I am NOT looking forward to this shit.
Though I gotta say I AM looking forward to kicking people out for starting fights. I hope a fight starts. Over something stupid. And I hope they get hurt and I get to call the police and yell at them.
I never get to yell at customers ):
Someone tried giving me a counterfeit bill today. It was so obviously fake it was funny, and it was only a $10 bill.
First time someone has tried that on me :v:

I used to work at 3:45AM and now until after Christmas I work at 12:15AM. I prefer to work bizarre hours, no customers.
I scalped some football tickets toda,y does that mean I work retail?

I got to install the CCTV, radio and PA system at my work, so I can yell at people over the shiny new PA system if they start being bellends.

people being idiots doesn't really warrant violence and I don't see why you're making it out to be justified
While pulling a 1000lbs or heavier skid of liquid (weather it be soda, juice, water etc) or salt (like road salt or salt for your water purifier) how many times do I have to say "excuse me" before "get the fuck out of my way!" becomes ok?
I love these people that stand there and watch me pulling a skid towards them....THEN FUCKING LOOK AWAY AND DONT MOVE! So I have to stop ask them to move then nearly kill myself all over again to get the pallet rolling again. Or the ones that think that just because I'm pulling said heaviy pallet means I'm going slow. Nope. Half the time I'm moving at a semi fast clip so I don't die. Please don't cut out in front of me with all your kids when I'm 15 feet away from you.

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;33240839]I have an ingrown toe on each foot and my only shoes are tight boots. My store has shit for floor so it may as well be concrete. I sit down maybe 40 minutes in an 8 hour work day.
Suck it up.
Not to sound like a douche but seriously.[/QUOTE]
I work garage in Iowa between 9 and 12 hours a day, concrete is a very soft flooring material whether or not you're wearing shoes, your fault your letting that happen to your toes and your fault for buying such shitty boots. Considering you have an 8 hour work day like the rest of America you should have no problem a) buying better shoes b) getting the treatment to remove it which is cheap and takes all of 30 painless minutes.
We literally walk around barefoot where I work. Four of us mechanics. We work an in-house tune up and repair, lots of walking around and lots of carrying heavy shit, also a lot of standing around and talking to the dorks who drive the big delivery trucks in and always seem to need help carrying crap. Concrete is not hard and it also provides good grip, but if you're wearing socks you can skate around and it's a good way to pass the time. We don't get to sit down often, either, but we brought in poolside-style chairs for the occasion, and we all pitched in for a mini-fridge AND an electrician to come in during the wee hours of the morning and run some wiring from the rest of the building to it.
A trash truck came in once and sprayed us with ground refuse so we chased him out onto the street barefoot the moment he got out of it to try and tell us he was sorry through his laughs. Then we took turns blocking the garage so he didn't dare come back near us and he tried going around two hours later only to find two of us hopped in the trash truck and drove it outside. He flipped shit when he saw it was not in the same spot.
Now just last month I was in consulting and found out that he had filed a formal complaint and tried to have all four of us fired, but it's too bad four of the people he called out on being assholes were on the weekend crew, and one of the people he filed against wasn't even there that day, he called in sick or something.
I've never been sprayed with garbage at any of my jobs. I have been sprayed in the face with raw chicken fluids though.
Happened to one of my sisters who works at a deli, last Thanksgiving actually.
Proper use of meat grinder very important.

I've had fish juice all over my register and me before. And I don't eat fish and haven't for years. It made me feel sick.
Someone hadn't properly wrapped it at the deli.

Concrete is not soft, that refuse juice that got sprayed on you has rotted your brain.
Walking round barefoot working in a garage sounds incredibly stupid....

Because nobody actually does that unless they're backcountry old boys in their own garage, not an actual commercial garage fixing other people's cars.

As someone who has had an ingrown toenail removed (twice on the same toe, they didn't properly kill the root the first time), I can safely say that even with local anesthetic, it hurts like hell for those thirty minutes. After they are done and its patched up it is simply uncomfortable.
Got a job at Sainsburys.. I guess I'll be bringing along a few stories soon enough.
