Not too bad, just an assassination mission. Not even more than Level 30 so pretty easy.

Working at DG as really given me some insight on just how bad the situation is for it lol. Most of the employees are either corrupt (steal from the register, discounting stuff for friends, etc) or they just dont care. The good ones that are left are either leaving and/or moving on to jobs at corporate.

Thats really quite sad but canā€™t say Iā€™m totally surprised as this kind of things happens a lot in retail, iirc I heard somewhere that DG had some really big plans for expansion?

Im not aware of any such expansion but they really found a niche in either poorer neighborhood where walmart wont touch or in smaller towns where the nearest multi purpose store is possibly a hour or more away.

There distribution is setup in such a nice way that they can just stock the selves with whatever their items need and just replace whats sold. Have non perishable items with long term shelf life in overstock and let vendors deal with the stuff that perishes.

Maybe I heard wrong but I remember something about them opening a lot more stores in locations, possibly into those niche markets.

thats kinda neat, so they just have overstocks of items on hand so they donā€™t need to import them so much to the stores and can just restock whenever?

Iirc you mean dollar general when you say DG in which caseā€¦ Well. Its dollar general lol.
Menards on the other hand are dicks to the employees and whatnot; but they are actually punished for thingsā€¦ Sometimesā€¦ Ishā€¦ As well lol.
Though thereā€™s only so much one can do against shoplifters anyway but meh.

Super happy I donā€™t have to do retail anymore. Because geniuses that are the general populationā€¦ Yeahhh.

I just remembered my sister gave me a coffee at 11am yesterday that had a quad shot of expressoā€¦ No wonder why I feel like shit today rofl. (She didnt tell me until after I had it that it was a quad shot lol.)

-__-

Well. Only an hour or two before work. And I have nothing to do. Hmm.

Also. am now more or less proficient at driving a manual car as a daily car. More or less. Its a good thing I live where theres no traffic as that would be annoying as shit but otherwise manuals are fine.

Let the encode run while I slept. Good as usual but the subtitles in this movie are annoying af.
I mean, look at this. They put the subtitles where the characters are. And they even do this when theyā€™re not in the shot.

That is a terrible subtitle design. Iā€™ve never seen that before.

I think I mentioned before that the drain in the wall in our kitchen was clogged.
I canā€™t find when I posted about it but you guys donā€™t happen to remember if it was this or last year, do you?

I remember you were talking about a clogged drain in the wall on Discord last year, maybe this was it?

Damn, I couldā€™ve sworn it was around August.
But at least the year is correct so that should settle it with my grandma :joy:
She was arguing with me that this happened this year but since we have no invoice from the plumbers we have no way to prove when it actually was.

Fuck me are taxis are rip off. almost $10 for a taxi ride less than 2 miles :frowning:

Yup, when I was in Atlantic City last year thatā€™s where a decent portion of the money spent went since wandering around AC at 1am or so while drunk is a bad idea.

RIP thats a terrible rate and I thought it was bad here. usually here taxis have a pretty big starting price so there not so good for short journeys.

yep its almost daylight robbery, Iā€™ve notice that taxi prices have increased in recent years too probably because of stuff like uber and some even have booking fees and other additional chargers now.

Donā€™t have any Uber or Lyft or how theyā€™re all called?

about the same price
