Boozilla , 3 days ago to Ask Lemmy in What's your "back pocket" wish?

One of my buddies thinks she's plain / unattractive. Love the guy, but he's a complete idiot in this regard.

Boozilla , 3 days ago to Ask Lemmy in What's your "back pocket" wish?

I love yours, and have one almost identical to it. But it's probably not one I would share with say, coworkers or casual friends. I have a "public and plausible" wish in addition to the fantastic and semi-private one. My public and plausible wish is usually that our lotto pool at work finally hits all the numbers. Considering the odds of that happening, it's damned unlikely, but at least it's theoretically possible. So maybe I should call it my "public and barely plausible wish".

Tile was just an example. Applies to paint and everything else. I will use the contractor who doesn't do this upcharging nonsense. If you want to pay more for no reason, you do you!

They won't ignore the metrics. They obsess over them, so the larger point stands. My brother consults with Wal Mart and Kroger, I know what I'm talking about.

I have worked multiple minimum wage jobs. I have friends who worked in grocery stores. I'm not talking from no experience.

You're really stretching to win an internet argument here, when we're basically on the same side (I assume)...which is price gouging customers is bad.

I considered that, but the worker gets paid the same either way. Most of them really don't care. Restocking is no worse than ringing up a bunch of people and bagging.

And I disagree that corporate won't notice. They track everything in detail. The POS system will record refused items.

IMO the tech itself is fine, but using it to gouge people based on weather and such is not.

I can see this happening 100%. It's already kind of a thing in home renovation and construction. Some businesses will charge you a higher hourly labor rate if your materials are expensive. Installing tile or whatever should be the same labor rate, but they assume customers buying expensive materials "must be rich" and won't blink at paying more for labor, too. They don't all do this, of course, but it's something to watch out for (and one of many reasons you should always get multiple estimates from different contractors).

Potentially every 10 seconds. So you put the item in your cart at one price, and then discover it's a different price at checkout.

I hope shoppers start dumping a bunch of these back on the store, and they are forced to restock them. Would serve them right. It's the only thing that will impact it it: make it an expensive hassle for them.

Yup! It's some kind of redneck macho moron thing with some of them. The same types who mock you for using an umbrella when it rains, or wearing a coat when it's cold, etc.

This is another one of many things that the government should be taking care of for people (and they sort of tried to with Social Security) but of course the "privatize everything" sociopath elites killed that idea, and our culture expects everyone to just learn how to Warren Buffet better. Bro, do you even index fund?

Thanks, that's very interesting. It's disturbing how many groups around the world think the only way forward is to tear it all down first.

I think Japan is one of the most seismically active areas in the world, especially for its relatively small area.
