I am worried about messing up on the only form that gets my rent and medical insurance bills paid. I just feel like there is a Sword of Damocles above my head waiting to drop when I don’t dot an i or cross a t to their liking. I am also not the smartest person in the world when it comes to this stuff and the reassurance helps me a lot.

I managed to go to this game overcoming some crippling social anxiety mixed with autism spectrum issues. It was my first MLB game and honestly it was super fun! If I did not have to load myself to the gills with Ativan I would go more often.

So I have shared this with a few friends and we all agree this so dumb that its wrapped around to being genius.

Does a “the 4 genders” joke actually work with this? I think so.

I totally forgot about Teh Klob.

Tell me who’s turn it is! Say it!

lolcow content goes back to the issue of cringe culture being popular for a long time on the internet. Its why I think no community big or small should tolerate that kind of content being posted because its pipeline to becoming 4chan.

First, that’s a great way to lose all trust your customers have in you and make them go to a different store.

You really need to visit some rural parts of my country to see how they are food deserts only served by predatory companies like Walmart. During the early 00’s it was a common story for Walmart to run local business out of the area due to being able to use economy of scale to drive down prices. Just imagine living in a town where the only place to buy food was Walmart, fast food chains, or dollar stores.

Second, I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.

I just looked it up and the Netherlands has Uber unless I have old information. You do know they use surge pricing as their business model right? Companies like Walmart look at these business models and want to transition to them because they work. Its the boil the frog slowly approach to capitalism.

On the plus side for you Americans and Canadians, maybe you can finally get rid of that habit of showing product prices excluding tax.

I am not making excuses only giving an explanation. Please consider I am not defending this in the slightest just giving information. A human worker costs less than a digital tag if they are also paid to organize the shelving and stock. Also consider the United States has taxes that changed on the county and state level. National chains don’t show taxes because you can literally drive 15 minutes and be in a different area with a different sales tax laws. These taxes can range from standard sales tax to a PIF tax that gets added based on a time window. Most of our country does not use electronic tagging and the systems used to update them are not as dynamic as you think when they do have them. This post is an excellent example of this because just think of how big Walmart is in my country. They are just now swapping over to them and only with the idea of changing their pricing model.

IT Staff: “Hey this person is leaving should we do knowledge transfer?”

People running things: “Naw IT is a waste of money and does nothing. Why would we want to waste more money to pay someone to explain how the system works?”

This conversation has happened a non zero amount of times in my life.
