I just had a delightful argument with a customer. Milk was on an unusually large sale a bit back, for 1.79 a gallon. He presented a raincheck to me today and then asked for it to be extended. I go oh yes uhhh I’d be surprised if we’re totally out, I can go grab more from the cooler. To which he responded no, you have more, but I’m a single person I can’t get more than one at a time or it’ll go bad. And I’m like uh...? And we’re going back and forth with him making clear that he plans to just use a new rain check every week in perpetuity and never pay full price again. And I’m like no uh that’s not how this works and he said it’s bullshit that we’re not willing to honor our sale price. Forever?... it is.. a sale...

He was real mad at me and I was real confused
What's a rain check in this context?
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
A rain check is an agreement by a merchant to allow a customer to buy a product at a specific price at a later date, usually because the desired item is out of stock. Originally it described refunds for baseball tickets in the event a game was rained out.
I think most stores add the caveats “while supplies last” or “offer good only until [x]” to sale prices precisely to avoid smartass customers trying to pull stunts like this.
Plus, where does this guy plan on getting more “rain checks” from? I can understand a store maybe giving him one, but no competent employee is going to let him get away with coming in every week to get a sale price from weeks or months ago.

It’s basically- something is on sale, but it’s out of stock. So we issue this little promissory note that says you can have that original price honored next time you come in, even if the sale is expired.

bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

One niche problem with periods-or-commas is that when using google as a calculator the google search bar requires you to use periods.
Then it feeds you an answer with decimals as commas because you’re in Sweden and that’s correct. You can’t then copy and paste that answer to continue your math because again the search bar requires using periods. Lack of internal consistency is really the gravest sin mankind has ever committed.

There's a meme mod for EU4 called "the Snap" where, after a certain number of in-game years, half of the country tags in the game will be destroyed and their territory emptied
It seems extremely dumb and I kind of want to play it
though I also really want someone to revive the Years of Rice and Salt mod from EU3 for that "colonising Europe" game
I don't take enough shit from people to have lasted in retail. I was already entirely uninterested in abusive manager stuff and self-important customers three years in.

You can sort of colonize Europe in Imperator. In the West, south and north there are countries and tribes at the starting year. But there’s a huge band stretching from maybe Poland to the Black Sea that is empty land up for grabs.

My favorite (read: not) part of Excel is that it uses commas or periods for decimals depending on your language settings.

The underlying idea of Years of Rice and Salt was excellent. The book itself was much less good. I think the issue is that you need to find a way to point to reference points and how diverged things have become in order for it to mean anything.

You didn't really want zeroes in front of those other numbers right.

Excel really really sucks compared to google sheets for anything less than hardcore usage.
Like sure excel is probably good if you are the type of person who works in excel 10-15 hours per week. Any other sheet work is probably vastly better in google sheets.
so i found a video of john mayer in a jazz/blues jam. the singer is a woman with nice legs whose last name is whitaker. i think this comment is about her legs, maybe john mayer having a black soul musically, and... i'm not sure what else. i've read this comment 5 times.
um noticing THOSE LEGS - means i can look at dome instead of JewishJakeDickfart - - Whitaker said Catholic prayer 4U.. what u know about THE Ghetto LOL n DO u like cornbread w/ ur ham beans - coz i ONLY make THAT for Superman

I am slowly adjusting to the fact that the nature of office work kind of leaves you with nothing like, Done, like say, we have installed four instrument panels today, that is the work we have done
Where I'm like well I've sent e-mails and gone around talking to people, which, I guess, counts as "work"?

Because they're not wrong it's just that they're similar but different to the parts you haven't gotten yet
