It sounds like your co-worker has a latex allergy. If so, that's rather easy to accommodate (simply using different gloves) and can be ADA lawsuit-worthy if serious enough and ignored.

Our dog also likes to break the blinds on the window as he's looking out of them. And it's only ever when we're not here that this happens. As well. I'm actually working on getting recording from my N64 to work. So hopefully we won't have to use the emulator much longer.

Yeah, this seems... exactly like the Mario level, except also with an escalating coin toll?

Zanzibar Ham posted:So... What was in the empanadas? I still have no idea. It's either beef and chicken and then some vegetables. It's all ground up so even looking at it I can't tell and the box is always gone before I can read it for the ingredients so I've given up hope. Bruceski posted:It sounds like your co-worker has a latex allergy.

She might but it's more of she is lazy as hell and wants to be treated like she is special. She now even has her own box for these gloves. Apparently people were using her gloves so soap and water would get in and that irritated her hands. I respect anyone who has allergies. I just don't believe she does.

Re: picking specific items, I have food allergies. If the one pack of cookies that's made in a nut-free factory isn't in stock, I *don't* get another option. Not gonna throw a tantrum if that happens, but I'll definitely ask.

Re: can't find things even with directions. Remember that you're in this store day in, day out, for weeks or months or years. While the specifics may not be familiar, the layout definitely is. When someone goes to the grocery store it's probably the first time they've been there in weeks, or perhaps ever. It's foreign ground to them. (To say nothing of the automatic bias that you don't see/remember the people who don't have problems because they simply go about their business and don't bother you.) I go to Menard's for house/car/whatever tools once in a blue moon. I try to look around for myself, but if someone sees me looking lost and comes up to ask me if I need help, sometimes even with their precise directions I feel like I'm going the wrong way for most of it and then still end up searching for five minutes in the area I was directed to. It's not because I'm dumb, or blind, but because I have to look at everything in the area to try to find what I'm looking for, because not only do I not know where what I'm looking for is, I also can't know what all the other stuff around it is to disregard it until I look. Because I don't really know the store. At all. Now for myself, I see it as a matter of persistence and care, but for others, who may be distracted that day, or in a hurry, or whatever else, they can subconsciously choose to disregard things before even looking at them after a certain period of time based on previous failure to find a thing, and end up walking straight past what they were looking for while in that mindset. It's a very human mistake. This basically leads me to two points: 1. If you'll pardon the pontificating, the most important lesson of humanity is that nobody else is you. Putting yourself in other people's shoes isn't just a good idea, it's basically mandatory to understand all the random interactions everyone has on a daily basis. Most of those stories were probably unusually bad days for those people too. 2. I've found that the best way to ask for help is while looking embarrassed. Now that just comes naturally to me because I don't like needing to ask for help from strangers, but I've found that people are a lot more willing to help you if you look like you really need it, rather than simply want it (or loudly demand it). EDIT: This being said, there are definitely exceptions. People arrogant enough to think that the world exists simply to service them do exist. The lady who missed the carts on the way in may have been one such, or she may have had cataracts and couldn't see for poo poo, or she may have been thinking about something else while walking into the store and by the time she looked around for carts she was well past them.

These are all fine points. And i can not claim what people may or may not deal with that might make any interaction or search difficult. Aside from a three second story of, "this happened go me." I dont hold any thought or resentment to those people. The ones that truly cause problems are the self entitled people. Or the ones that get pissed off at me the 15 year old about issues they have with corporate. Or the "i didnt look" response i got a lot of the time.

I can't really blame people who are asking for directions in the grocery store I work at right now, as we're nearing the end of building an expansion and so everything is getting moved. Like, half the time we don't even know where things are anymore. Our meat is literally on the opposite side of the store from where it was two days ago. Still get annoyed at the people who expect me to be able to fix everything now. Or earlier today when I had a customer complain that she was getting a flea collar at only 50% off rather than 25% because she misread our sign.

I think the thing is that there are reasonable moments in retail and non reasonable moments. I can understand people getting lost in my department because we just rearranged my department which is two shelves. I can understand that. It's the people that come to me and I know you've been here before because I have a good memory for people who I see often in this place and I know you know where seafood is but you still ask me anyway like the big lobster sign was not a clue as in to which direction you should go. Or the people that come to me and ask if we carry a thing and I know we don't have it but they look at me as if I'm hiding it from them. I'm usually happy to help people until they give me the look of "You don't have what i asked for so somehow it is your fault for not carrying this thing." I love people that misread signs and then I explain it to them. I don't blame people for this in my department since the signs can be misleading if you don't read them carefully but then when I explain it a lot of people act like it is somehow my fault that the sign says what it does. I did not write the sign I printed it. I just print them and put them out. If I could I would give everything for free I would but that is not within my power.

The worst is when a customer doesn't like what you have to say, so they go and find some higher up manager and they come back and just hand out free poo poo or do whatever to make the customer happy...all of which makes you seem like the rear end in a top hat for not having done that first.

Luckily I live/work in a small town of about 2,000 so I don't get many of the truly obnoxious people I hear retail horror stories about. But they exist out here too.

I work in a 1-hour photo lab, and boy have I had some lovely experiences. I've had photos physically thrown at my face on more than one occasion and endless amounts of bitching from people wanting their hundreds of photos that they just ordered(a 30-60 minute job usually) in the next 10 minutes, when I was supposed to go home a half-hour previous. Also people not realizing scale of price. Yes, when you order 4000+ images at 29c an image, it does cost 1200 dollars. If you look on your claim slip, it does tell you how much it's going to cost.

I work in a print shop now so I can relate to that a lot. Especially for large prints. Yes, if you get a 4x8 foot banner it's going to cost a ton and takes more than a minute to print.

So looking at the length of the Mini-Game Island, it would be a really long video. Probably even longer than a whole board. I'd like to know if anyone would prefer it being a single long video, or break it down into two smaller chunks for quicker viewing.

One long video implies you think you can finish it in one setting. I seem to recall childhood rage quitting, but who knows surely two adults playing a game for children can make it through without farming lives/savescumming.

I'm in favor of making one big video out of minigames. Regular boards have a natural stopping point for discussion and blind speculation. I dunno that mini-games will have enough to talk about to keep the thread interested -- I think that's what you'd have to make the call on. Also because there is no goddamn good reason for anyone to go hungry in the year of our Lord 2017, the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act of 1996 removes any liability for harm caused by good-faith donations and remains on the books. At least until somebody decides to repeal it because Glazius fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Apr 5, 2017 |

So now we go to war! Not, Calli and I. It's just the new board. Update is: We have not gotten a divorce yet. Wario's Battle Canyon Part 1 This may be my least favourite of the main six boards. We talk about it a lot. But just the random landing points kind of make it a little intolerable. But now that we have 10 Turns. Everyone can now Bet on who is going to win!
