Smoking is gross. Indoor smoking is even more gross. Indoor smoking that ruins original art pieces and haute couture gowns people spent months making for these idiots is reprehensible.

I think for some affluent people inconvenience is often equated with peril.

OMG! That’s the one!!!! You just made my day.

Come on, that’s not fair. On many levels. A friend of mine worked there after we graduated law school for some time because it was the only way she could get health insurance. A lot of the baristas at my local store are putting themselves through school and they have some serious hustle by networking with customers.…

You do realise having to explain having sold out shit to customers and having a million times as many people coming in while you’re understaffed are things that said staff a) can’t influence, b) didn’t ask for, and c) don’t get any extra income compared to a regular shift?

A lot of the comments lamented how many they need to make. Again, the point of retail is to make money, which pays your salary. Everyone has work complaints, if your complaint is you have too many customers you don’t get what you’re there for.

Your job is to sell a lot and make money you will never see, for looney detached corporate overlords who have no clue just how much extra work they’re piling on you with every new idea the marketers come up with, while continually having to play hapless victim to the sort of people who frequent whatever establishment…

This.

This comment just shows that you have never worked in retail.

My argument seems pretty sound:

If they had stocked up, and scheduled more people per shift, then you would be right. But if everyone is making the same amount, working the same hours, and doing double the work - that isn’t fair. And not having the ingredients for the drink available is just going to cause problems, it’s poor planning - they…

When you get a job you will have a better perspective. Also, no coffee was harmed in the making of this product, so you might also spend time on facts.

You don’t seem to get it. It’s not hard. Don’t be a dick just to be a dick.

A vast increase in workload without an increase in either salary or help seems like valid thing to complain about. Will these people see a bonus? Will additional staff be hired to mitigate the rush? No? Then why should anyone expect them to be happy?

It’s not coffee. Also the baristas aren’t mad at customers, just the situation and some customers, like the ones who throw things at you when you tell them you’re out of supplies.

Well she is the main character. Just like HIMYM and Scrubs (as examples), the main character is the most annoying person by far.

I often hate-read the Daily Mail because they always have the most photos for their “articles.” But the comments section makes me want to kill myself.

The preschool teacher I worked under did a modified experiment of this. Read a story and passed out animal cookies to certain kids. But then immediately talked it over and the other kids got cookies. No terrible words, just a quick display of unfairness. It’s powerful when done right. BUT she gauged the particular…

See, I think something like that can be a valid teaching tool. I mean, maybe not 4th graders and definitely not to the extent that you make people cry. But, picking something arbitrary to decide who’s “better” and treating them accordingly.

That is an actual lesson that is still being taught today. The first teacher to do it came up with the lesson just after the assassination of MLK as a way to educate her students about the negativity of racism, and why it was wrong. She still goes around the country giving the same lesson to a wide variety of people.…
