Yeah... his paycheck examples and savings recommendations in this PDF are kind of high for people making minimum wage or just above. And congrats to whoever paid off $30,000 in ten months - you paid off almost twice what a person making $8/hour (typical retail hourly wage) makes in a year, working full-time. This

Self check out is only good if there's no line. Most people make incredibly incompetent cashiers and are slower than the slowest cashiers I've ever worked with.

Check writers are the worst (from a former cashier's perspective). Every single person I ever ran a check for acted like it was the biggest surprise in the world that checks are run electronically now and then felt the need to make a grand speech about how if that's how the system works then they might as well use a

The contention about the credit card point seems to boil down to cashiers using the term "decline" improperly. I think it's because managers tell them to use decline as it's the least offensive term - people apparently don't like hearing in front of other customers that their card has been rejected or not approved

Because people are paid mostly by direct deposit these days, and no one's going to go through the hassle of getting cash just to pay for a coffee.

Was it actually declined, or did it just not read? Because in the nine years I worked in retail, I never had a card that was actually declined/not accepted work on the second try. Ever. If it just didn't read, then all you have to do is get the number into the machine somehow (manually, rerunning, whatever). A

Yeah, and high ratings always equal quality programming, right?

It comes from being in a position of power - very rarely do those in power realize that their subordinates are not their friends, and often resent them; if not personally, then professionally. This is what comes with a society based on dominance - your employees are not your friends, and such a claim from a boss

I thought the season ender of SPN was crap. All this build up, just to see Michael and Lucifer stand around and snark at each other until Dean showed up, blasting a song that makes most people in the CW's target demographic think "Offspring". Two seasons of "the righteous man who started it having to be the one who

I love that this guy's "normal" is a white man. Because as everyone knows, white dudes are normal, and everyone else is "other".

I was under the impression, from every computer geek I know, that it was "It works - as long as it's been refurbished".

I tried to watch it when it premiered - solely because of Detective Munch. Homicide had gone off the air, and one of their awesome characters was transferring to a L&O show, so I figured it had to be amazing. Except they try to hard to be shocking, the twists are all predictable, and they had Andre Braugher on as

And the Carousel of Progress. Don't forget that little piece of torture.

That ride has been closed for years - since 1998. I think Disneyland's is still open - and people confuse the parks all time, apparently.

Agreed on Eric Kripke - Supernatural turned into what is was Seasons 2 - 5 because of Jeremy Carver, Ben Edlund, and Jensen Ackles - and Edlund's just "borrowing heavily" from Joss Whedon's stuff (and not just the shows he worked on). Seasons 6-7 didn't fall apart because Kripke left - they fell apart because Carver

Well, when your culture is based in violence and dominance, as opposed to equality and cooperation, then of course psychopaths will excel and be great leaders.

Coming-of-age stories also allow the writers to re-design the character and put them in a more modern, updated world, which is something Wonder Woman desperately needs. She's an outdated idea of a feminist hero, and like many of the DC heroes, needs some reworking. Smallville updated Clark Kent and made him the

Not in an origins story done as a TV series - she really can't act. Maybe in a plot-doesn't-matter-but-the-action-does movie. The CW has a couple of the best actors on TV, but they also house the absolute worst, and they need to raise their standards.

It's not a keyhole - it's the microphone's shadow.

You'll never look at meerkats the same way after you see them kill two bunnies that got into their enclosure at Disney's Animal Kingdom. They're efficient little killing machines in a group.
