Uh, franchises don’t have a choice to accept dumb corporate decisions, is part of their contract. Quick google shows that most franchises hate new all day breakfast, as it’s an extra expense with no business value and extra costs.

What I’ve noticed most is that you see the same people working there year after year- also, the staff is seldom grumpy, noticeably less grumpy than the staff at other grocery stores. From what I’ve read the Costco CEO, while he did have noble reasons for treating employees well, also had keen financial reasons in…

I worked at a Costco for three months while I was between jobs. I have nothing but good things to say about the place.

Yeah, the notion of organized “after-work drinks” in start-up culture always seemed unnerving to me. Of course there are some co-workers who hit it off and are friends, and company Christmas parties etc., but the “every Thursday we do cocktails” thing is kinda crazy.

The thing is, with the old type of authoritarian asshole boss, there was a felt limit to their control.

For some reason, I’ve always found the companies with the most teeth grindingly hippie messages are the most truly awful to work for. They’ll ruthlessly do anything in their power to underpay you and violate your rights, directly in violation of their outward beliefs. The more holier-than-thou a company is (looking at…

I feel like one of the real broadcasting gems that gets overlooked here is that when the studio throws it over to Wayne at the beach, he responds by calling the anchor “Gregg-o”. That just sounds like a nickname W woulda had for somebody in his cabinet.

Oh my god, that zoom out. And she’s just face down in the sand. Shouldn’t be funny but I laughed.

When they zoomed out and it was revealed she was completely face down in the sand, I LOL’ed at work. I’m going to hell, huh.

From the shorts wearing news guy, to Hands-in-pockets, then signing off while the girl drowns in the sand, followed by the lurking weatherman, it's just perfect.

Ive still got a bridge to sell you... cheap!

I think what elevates this is the fact that they both just leave her lying face down in the sand while they sign off.

omg so funny, and reminds me how stupid news anchors act with their little gig.

I LOVE how the camera pans out after a few seconds to get footage of the chick lying lifeless on the ground... like “NOW we’ve got a story!!”

Also how the cameraperson adjusts the camera to frame hands-in-pockets guy, as if the original story is gonna continue. Nice work, Ace.

That’s one of the best ones. The zoom out really makes it.

But how weird is it that I have “favorites” of this?

Best? Nah. This is pretty good. The thing that elevates it is the guy to the left who just stands there with his hands in his pockets.

And the Intercept is also SUCH an upstanding news organization.

Coincidentally, the two populations that receive HGH are children with stunted growth and people who are at risk of muscle wasting (like cancer patients). Maybe Brady’s just gonna take this kid’s stash when he croaks.

Sadly, Al-Jazeera is far more reputable as a news source than most of the purely American media.
