Play some TMNT, take some awesomely facetuned Japanese selfies, wail out some TLC into the dead of night when they cut off booze service. A few of us are privileged to have such a thing here.

2 cents a share? gently caress, drop 5 on it and if it somehow goes up to a dollar, cash out for literally $250.

sharknado slashfic posted:Every single grocery store here is like that, 1 or 2 lanes open max. They keep trying to get away with it at WalMart too but it never works and the lines wrap around the store. Target seems to actually have cashiers for whatever reason. From when I worked at Target, all employees had headsets on at all times, any customer interactions with the service buttons would ping all associates with the section that the request for assistance was triggered, and three alerts were sent out. If the alert wasn't cleared by 3, then hell got raised. If more cashiers were needed, each department would have designated employees who would be told to operate checkout lanes. If people started lining up more than four deep, a call would go out for x number of cashiers. We would come up, fill in until the rush died down, then retreat back to our corners to resume what we were doing.

As long as areas with lovely-to-no internet exist and data caps being a thing, console gaming will need to continue to have a physical method of delivery. A day 1 patch of 2.5 GB is a lot easier to stomach as opposed to a full game download of 69.420 GB, and then the 2.5 GB patch on top of it.

Local malls here are doing fine, but New Jersey is weirdly protective about its shopping malls.

Pakistani politics posted:I'm a little disappointed that LaCroix is becoming the genericized word for seltzer water. Then again as a kid my Bostonian relative called seltzer "bubble water" so I can't judge. Polar wins out in all cases, though, I know not all regions have Polar. LaCroix isn't bad. And those are my opinions on seltzer water, which I love despite my love of Injustice. Several people I know have started calling it Spicy Water or Angry Water and I contemplate why I associate myself with this tomfoolery.

ToxicSlurpee posted:All I really know about Zima is that I've never once met anybody in person who admitted to drinking any of it, there were commercials about it where a guy kept getting told he had a nice hat, and Married with Children made fun of it. My only memories of Zima as a kid was the number of times I would see a sign at a wrestling show that would say something like "(Wrestler) drinks Zima" as a means of demeaning the wrestler that the fan didn't like. Here I come to find out that Zima is just a cooler/malt like Smirnoff Ice? I guess in the 90s the association with it is that it's just a "girly drink" for people who can't handle BEER, like REAL MEN, and you're not a REAL MAN if you drink Zima. The fragile male ego hard at work.

My local malls are still packed on weekends for the most part, but that's unsurprising since New Jersey's shopping malls typically do really well as it is. The nearest one to me did just lose the Sears, so that end of the mall is closing up, but the Dicks Sporting Goods that is across the street is moving in on the first floor of the Sears space, and on the second floor they're opening up a Round 1 Entertainment Center, which I'm absolutely thrilled about. Bowling, Arcade Games, Karaoke, Ping Pong Tables, but what I'm interested in is that since they're a Japanese based company, they've got legit rights to connect Bemani cabinets and connect to the eAmusement network that Konami runs, so as such they've got Beatmania, DDR, Sound Voltex, and other Bemani games, all at the latest versions and well maintained.

MisterOblivious posted:Went to microcenter tonight. It's apparently the anti-Fry's. Shelves were packed*. The store was uncomfortably busy and the cashier said the lines were long all day, unprompted. He was a bit frazzled and thought he still had 3 hours of work left, not realizing it's Sunday and they close earlier. I love Micro Center. My last 3 personal builds, and my last 5 commissioned builds have been all bought through Micro. I just wish there was one in Delaware and not in Pennsylvania so I could ditch the sales tax, but making the trip to the Paterson one in North Jersey cuts that in half.

Turbinosamente posted:I can make a vain attempt to re-rail the thread: Anybody got any news on the Gamestop death watch? I was reminded of them when I got an email the other day detailing their changes to their pro rewards program. They've upped it from $15 a year to $20 and are now going to give members a $5 dollar off coupon each month. It's obvious what they are trying to do here, but I can't imagine regular coupons will get more people in the door at this late date. It's 20 bucks if you want a physical copy of game informer, if you don't it's still 15 bucks. I still personally prefer to get my games in store as we've got a lot of problems with Amazon, and packages in general, at my apartment complex to the point where numerous signs are posted in the vestibule for package companies to only leave delivery slips. They don't anyway, so poo poo still gets stolen. Plus after the debacle with the Scott Pilgrim game on XBL and how those who purchased it can no longer re-download it long before the 360 went EOL, I've pretty much sworn off digital for anything but PC. Gamestop is closing a lot of stores, but there's also no need for them to have, say, 3 stores within a mile of each other, which is how it's operating at the local mall near me. At the moment there's just too many of their stores in existence and they could use to consolidate them.

Nope, it's still in publication. They did a mass layoff of half the staff, but it's still churning out issues.

Krispy Wafer posted:Using malls as distribution centers isn't the worst idea in the world. Only problem is DC's need quick in/out traffic for freight trucks and there's nothing easy or quick about getting in and out of a mall. They're almost always next to interstates though, so program the traffic lights to compensate and it could work. I've never been happier to have seen my local mall's Sears having turned into a Dick's Sporting Goods/Round 1 Entertainment place. We don't need a fifth Amazon Fulfillment Center opening up in our area at this point.

They just spent a shitton of money on one of my company's product and I had to work implementation on the drat thing for them. Can't wait to tell my boss about this tomorrow.

there wolf posted:That's kind of what happened with bookstores and other media outlets. Little places don't have the overhead or need for mass appeal that big chain does, so they can get by with a smaller customer base and be a lot more flexible in what they offer. If this means more theaters that'll show Rocky Horror, and I'll be able to get a cast going at a local one, then hell yes.
