it’s your job to do that. jobs are exhausting… if you can’t do that basic task then you shouldn’t have that job.

i worked in customer service positions as a teen and 20 something. it is not hard to just say hello to people when they are in your store. it’s a basic requirement of the job.
yes, it is novel for them not to do this. and no it’s not a majority, but it’s a markedly new experience to go into a store and see a 22 year old who basically ignores customers who re actively seeking their attention/help.

our job has no bullshit. all they have to do is do the work. and they can’t do it and not fuck up it. so they get fired

the rule is work 40 hours a week and do not travel out of the country while working for us.
we have had to fire 6 people in the last 12 months failing to meet both these very basic ‘show up and don’t be an entitled idiot’ rules.
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 12 hours ago:
yeah, but by the time you have to pay it back your stock has accrued more value, so you just take out another loan.

if you aren’t serving people you aren’t doing your job. do your job and stop spacing out when someone wants to buy something from you.
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 14 hours ago:
Yeah. Totall agree with you interpretation.
You know who also gives me the gen z stare? My mom with dementia. She literally can’t understand or process things anymore… and she exhibits the same spaced out behavior and often you have to ask her things a few times before it registers.
I think it is very much a cognitive thing

I think it’s that they lack environmental awareness because they are so used to staring into a screen all day.
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 14 hours ago:
Yes. I encountered it a few times this year, but never really noticed it prior to '24.
I have literally had to yell at gen z baristas and shop clerks to get their attention, they are just ZONED OUT.
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 1 day ago:
right, and if it doesn’t happen to you it happens to nobdoy else right?
literally any game that requires a GPU for me. across several PCs. I am too old to waste time with that shit anymore. Console gaming is way better for me, it just works.
and if PC gaming was so ‘cheap’ y’all wouldn’t be screaming and crying on here everyday about component prices going up
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 1 day ago:
i was trying to game on my pc a few months ago and just gave up due to the constant crashes on top of hours of wasted time trying to ‘resolve the issue’.
you can keep telling me how stupid and wrong i am, but my experience of PC gaming is it’s the same as it was in the 90s. the only games i don’t have tehcnical issues with are the indie ones, that don’t even need gpu to run.
my ps5… just works. everytime.
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 1 day ago:
people from spain speak english with distinct accent, and they are more likely to know english.
a lot of highly educated spanish citizens come here for research jobs since the spanish economy is awful.

console gaming is not.

one of my friend has a pretty elaborate garden setup.
he has a groundhog execution chamber too.

I am a successful gardener.
You can’t and don’t want to eat 20lbs of tomato in a week. I use maybe 2-4lbs and the rest of it rots.
And that’s how crops come in, all at the same time in abundance. It’s not like you can pick 4 tomatoes each day and they just hang out for weeks on the vine.

We need that chart that shows gay LTRs have the lowest divorce rate, and lesbians the highest, with heteros slightly less than lesbians.

The contemporary use is from management theory.
It was a metric made up to measure management candidates. From there it got into the self-help industry, and now that’s why everyone posts it on their dating profiles.

haha, it gets worse. you can have a partner who was wonderful and morphs into an abusive horrible person over time, because they are unhappy with their life and you become their punching bag.

no hobby, only booby.
- Comment on Anon is terminally lonely 1 week ago:
The point is to regulate and control your feelings.
- Comment on Anon is terminally lonely 1 week ago:
No, it’s not. Happiness is the action of self regulation. Happiness is choosing broccoli over a cookie because you know it is better for you.
Someone tied up to a machine being dosed by chemicals to ‘feel happy’ would not be happy. Just like drug addicts, and other addicts, who are constantly chasing highs, are not happy people. They are fucking miserable, forever chasing and defining their entire life by those dopamine hits.
