Green light, happy shopping!

If my retail experience is any indication, acknowledging customers in this situation is a bad idea. Before you know it, the conversation turns to "I just need one thing!" Or "I promise I'll be really quick!" and you have to become the asshole to tell them no... Even though the store hours are clearly listed on the front door.

Or if you agree even once, the conversation could easily become "but you did it for me/my friend last time!"

I've literally had people sneak into the store using an exit, then act all indignant because I tell them to leave. You give some of these fuckers an inch, they'll take a mile.

Here's a tip I've found useful: if I show up somewhere after closing time and find that the door is locked, it's because the store is closed.

I mean, animals don't necessarily experience taste in the same ways humans do. What tastes terrible to me may still be very appealing to a dog or cat etc., regardless of taste.

I don't know if it's my worst ever reading experience but... Im trying to get through Narcissus and Goldmund right now. Holy shit do I hate this book so far, and I usually enjoy Hesse's work.

Seems like Proton is branching out into a lot of new areas lately. Possibly too many? I'd prefer it if they'd work on improving their current offerings first...

Hope he didn't lose it...

Well said, I couldn't agree more.

I honestly can't stand comments like these. Why is every technology discussion on Lemmy dominated by people congratulating themselves for using something 'better'? Most of the time without even being asked.

I don't know, maybe good parenting?

Dumb ass American politicians don't know how to govern beyond "ban or blow up something we don't like".
