Geez dudes, the solution writes itself here.
You get the new job. It pays you more money. It takes more time? No problem: just sleep less and spend some of that extra money on energy drinks that carry slightly less than lethal doses of caffeine.
Win win.
And avocados. Don’t know why they’re magical, but they are.
Yes, I want my groceries bagged a certain way. Well worth the effort to self-checkout.
Mate - I 100% agree that one of these stories is morally ambiguous - in the other I’m stealing some chairs. And do you know what? I don’t care.
Have you ever seen an Ikea closing down because it wasn’t making enough money? I’m prett sure my little escapade would have gone unnoticed.
A Proper Hard Case!
Haha trust me, advocado and red bull are at max capacity. Any more and my wife will start asking questions.
Same with sleep… “What have you been doing up since 4am…”
Our supermarket sells whole roasted chickens that are cooked in store. They often mark down the price at the end of the day as they cant keep them for tomorrow. Recently they were doing a buy one get one free promotion. Chickens cost $12, so when you go to the till and scan them it deducts $12 for the first chicken, then $12 for the second chicken and then refunds -$12. At the end of the day the chickens were reduced to $5.
When I went to the till it deducted $5 for the first chicken, then deducted $5 for the second chicken and then refunded one chicken at -$12. The lady at the till put my two chickens in a bag, then handed me $2 and says have a nice evening !!
I was so confused, I had paid nothing, got 2 chickens and a $2 refund. Tried to explain that I should pay $5 for a chicken and get one free but the lady on the till said she couldn’t change it and had to do the refund otherwise her till would be out.
See? You really helped her out.
I was just trying to avoid conflict. If I had tried to correct the guy about the plates and it wasn’t well received you never know where that could go. I read about these things, simple disagreements that spiral out of control.
I think I really dodged a bullet.
Yes I am nice like that, I was just sad there were no more chickens left. LOL
In your situation I would have stayed quiet, store puts wrong label on then its their problem.
That is a real double win scenario. Getting paid to eat rotisserie chicken!
I would excel in that job
Confession
I get irrationally angry when the equipment I need to use next is taken.
Today I wanted to do Nautilus pullovers but some senior was on the machine for almost 15 minutes. I shouldn’t be angry but this interrupts my flow and I want to Hulk out.
I was able to sub in DB pullovers, but after that I couldnt use the back extension bench because some idiot was doing a bastardized form of preacher curls on it.
I’d be the guy that had a lot of enthusiasm but isn’t nearly as good at it. Back when I’d clean a carcass on the ride home from the grocery store just to keep the other food safe, but that was 15 years ago.
Done that. I confess my caffeine tolerance is now so high I sometimes drink a large cup coffee with milk to fall asleep. Not hyperbole. I just hate warm milk.
I don’t have an issue with this but when someone puts their drink, bag or jacket on the machine next to them, it drives me nuts. It doesn’t even need to be for a machine I want to use and everyone moves them if asked but it just sets me off lol
The exception to this is the reverse hyper which is really just a fancy drink holder …
Coffee before bed is excellent.
Try to work out what went wrong, go through the entire ass ache of fixing it for a lousy $12 for a company probably making millions or ignore and go home in 15 minutes? Lol
Funny, but that’s the conclusion I came up with too!
I like to come home and work out at lunch, but have decided to go back to am workouts.
Drink less + train smarter + make more $ = win
It’s the PWN way.
I confess I may have turned mum in to an anti-sugar conspiracy theorist…
Considering sugar has been proven to be one of the most damaging, addictive substances on the planet (at least in highly processed form) this is probably not a bad thing.
I know! It’s quite cool how much she’s turned around on nutrition beliefs. A year ago, she’d get really mad if I tried to show her information about how damaging sugar is
