On the other hand, I, as a consumer, have to deal with the grunt-level hourly wage festering cuntnuggets. So isn't it therefore my right to piss on their face when they piss me off? They are the face of Gamestop, the only face within range of my piss-arc, so aren't they the correct recipients of my ire?

    So I was trying to catch up in [chat] but I had to step forward to this page to ask stevemark to please stop apologizing.


    I'm not even sure what you said, but unless it involved eating babies I think it's safe to say you are sufficiently remorseful.

    Again, I apologize if my opinion was offensive to anybody and of course I don't share the view that TSA procedures are even remotely at a level that reflects nazism or denying someone civil rights based on the color of their skin. Those kinds of acts are something I'm obviously very much against, and what I've witnessed does not place TSA security on that level, but I should be more mindful that my experience is not that of everyone.

    I appreciate the articles, Feral, and will think before I rant next time.

    I'm also being sincere and not internet snarky.

    Oh, I know.

    It just feels like every several months I see another news story about the TSA being a dick to somebody because they're kind of unusual in some way. I don't really have problems with the TSA, personally. I've had a couple of less-than-stellar interactions with them but they ended up being something to laugh about. But if were Islamic, transgendered, had a prosthetic or some other weird medical condition, I'm not sure that I would be so lucky.

    After working retail jobs like gamestop for almost 7 years of my life I am just polite to them. Because if you talk to them, they hate saying that shit to. If they don't they get in trouble. Which is retarded. That and really giving shit to people who are making minimum wage with no benefits isn't worth my ire.

    In all seriousness, I don't harass EB/GameStop workers at all. But I also don't buy this idea that people just have to accept however you are treated by said grunt level workers, whether their behavior is explicitly prescribed by company policy or not.

    Elliptical machines feel weird, because they way they move doesn't really account for running with a forefoot strike. You can't push off with your toes too well with them.

    Two things:

    1) That's a false dichotomy. You don't have to be either an asshole or a wilting lilly, there are alternatives.
    2) Odds are they're being a dick because they're having a bad day. Ever work minimum wage retail? It sucks. Hard. Most people whose lives suck aren't going to be the patron saint of customer service even when they aren't contractually obligated to behave otherwise.

    1) It's not even a dichotomy for me. If I don't act like a dick to everyone, the voices start screaming again.

    2) Yes, I have worked minimum wage retail. Did you see on the last page where I said I actually worked at an Electronics Boutique for 4 years? So not only have I worked minimum wage, but I've worked at the very company in question (well at least now it's the same company).

    Their company policies are terrible and more or less require their employees to be pains in the ass. "Be a pain in the ass" is pretty much their main company policy. They are required to push preorders and trade-ins above all else and to do so aggressively.

    So yeah I agree that you don't have to be a dick to a minimum wage worker (screaming voices notwithstanding) but I don't think these minimum wage workers really get to wash their hands of how they are treating customers, even if that is just company policy. I mean, you could just as easily get a job at McDonald's where the most you'll have to push on people are french fries and large value meal upgrades.

    What I'm trying to say here is that if we collectively act like dicks to everyone that works at every GameStop in the entire world we can make them all cry, quit, and then GameStop will go belly-under as a company. Then we can sit on its corporate carcass and laugh at it for its hubris.

    So isn't it, by extension, our moral obligation to be rude bastards whenever we're in a GameStop? Even if they are being nice to us? Fuck that. Niceness is just as evil as evilness.
