jokes on you, I have been working on reinvesting into my office all week. from 8am to 8pm today I was hanging up audio foam and going to lowes to get curtain hangers and moving mats so I can hang that shit up over windows. my tech stack is also so fucking cool now and I'm debating if I should show off my computers.

My next locals video will be me upgrading my computer I think. I have a really weird thing I desperately want to do but have been putting it off for years now because I'm a stingy jew.

Unsolicited advice klaxon: if you can stretch your shekels, get yourself one of those padded mats to stand on if you’re using a standing desk. It’ll help your back and feet not turn to dust.

The supermarket I worked at had shitty ones at the registers so I never believed they worked til I stood on decent ones. Another W for whataburger.

I think the tech set up vid sounds neat. This office upgrade is going to take out the chair squeak/cat/baby sound theorists in one fell swoop, boss 👌
 
I'm sure this has been posted already, the 2020 election was rigged by china.

oh you just reminded me, there's a really really big cultural difference between the US and the rest of the world with supermarkets.

In the US almost every cashier is always standing but in every other country I've ever been to they give them chairs. I'm not sure why. I guess in the US we consider it lazy to be sitting?

It’s that Puritan work ethic baby! Though I don’t get how the cashiers at Lidl don’t end up like hunchbacks leaning over to scan stuff. My manager used to yell at me for sitting in the little shelf area we kept bags when it was slow.

We also used to have to stand at the back of the register to greet customers if we didn’t have anyone so they knew we were open. Damn that takes me back, front end managers are Nazis 😭

"Time to lean, time to clean" is a phrase I heard more than once

It's literally, if you're sitting, you're lazy. Stand up and look like you're working. If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean. Even if you have one station and you can't leave the 5sqft box because you need to "guard" the ciggies and you have crushing sciatic pain.

I went to an asian place in Portland, OR and the cashier was literally typing on her phone, ringing me up, and as i was handing her the money/card, she had the next order already scanned and still on her phone. she took my money and i've been in love ever since then.
 
since this seems to be a passionate topic I should stress literally every country I've ever been to gives tellers chairs. The Philippines, Japan, Ukraine, Serbia, and all of the EU. I remember it being weird at first in the Philippines but now I think it's weird to make 70-year-old women stand at a teller when most people just do self-checkout anyways.

IIRC standing burns more calories and it's harder to sleep when standing.The likely reason is they're just fucking cheap.

EDIT: This reminds me of something I nooticed despite never living outside america. Pre-corona a lot of local restraunts would always give you a glass of water before you even decided on a drink or meal. Since corona happened or like right before it (time's fucky) I've been to a number of pretty decent local places and they don't do that anymore. It's kind of pointless but I miss it because it's weird it stopped being a thing only after or right before lockdown times, and I explicity made jokes with friends about some stupid fucking weeb game that acted like diners giving you water before you order anything was a japan only thing when we all had that going on in the USA. (and canada the few years i went there)
I miss my pre-soda diner water, man.

yeah sorry to say, this is a yellowjacket nest you kicked. But I will say, after I've gotten out of retail, I agree with the rest of the world. It's fucking stupid making "greeter's" stand for 8 hours. Or people just manning the cig checkout lane (since they demanded that cigarettes only be available in one fucking checkout aisle). {IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHERE NOBODY IS COMING IN TO BUY ANYTHING.}

The answer is boomers. If a boomer sees a wagie sitting down, they will immediately flip their shit. It's a baby boomer cultural holdover. Most American idiosyncrasies can actually be answered that same way. The baby boomer generation has done nothing but terrorize this country for as long as they have been alive. They went from the flower children hippies doing LSD in a park and spitting on Vietnam vets to voting for George Bush. Everything they do is evil and only serves to make people suffer.
 
My local Walmart had to fight with management to allow a one-legged cashier to have a stool to sit behind the register. They hired a one-legged cashier and were going to make her stand for 6-8 hours.

I was slop scrolling and got personally attacked by this YT short:

It's not just boomers I've seen this with. You see it with those youngers, brownnose-ing sociopath types too. The type of people who couldn't lead shit but got lucky at a job or got some bullshit burger degree to be a supervisor or manager but couldn't lead piss to a toilet.
