Yeah a lot of people don't realize how little power and authority private security people actually have, especially a store's loss prevention people.
I was in a Zellers (Canadian retailer, doesn't exist anymore, sort of a Walmart tier chain) with my brother. I was 20, he was 16.
We were leaving, and this big sweaty dude comes over and is hollering at us and we stop, and it turns out he's accusing my brother of stealing his jacket from the store?
Now, my brother was a dipshit teenager, but that is the jacket he came in with, so I was just straight up dismissing this loss prevention guy out of hand and was like "alright well you're wrong and we're leaving so whatever"
And he tried to argue with me, and was like "we are gonna check THE TAPES and see what THE POLICE have to say about this" and I'm like no, that we are not going to do, bye.
So he gets shitty about it and tries to interpose and prevent my brother from leaving and I'm like fella, let me make a few things clear
I work in security, I'm a bouncer, you don't actually have a right to detain him, if you put your hands on my brother, who is a minor, I will consider that assault and put YOU under arrest.
He got really shouty and hostile and made a bunch of pseudo police style comments ("SIR STAND DOWN") as my brother calmly left the store.
He didn't lay a hand on us, didn't do shit.
Like three months later, I'm in the same Zellers by myself, and I see that same loss prevention guy creeping about through the clothing racks trying to stalk two teenagers like he's not super obvious.
And so I say to him "hey bud, did you ever end up checking THE TAPES to see of my brother really did take that jacket?" and he just skittered away from me while trying to avoid eye contact and shit.
I never received compliments on my appearance until I went full hipster
nowadays I get "cool mustache" "nice bow tie" etc from people on the street
co workers I don't know
the guy at the drive-thru
pretty much the only people who complain are my friends who knew me before and can't handle a strong independent vowels who don't need no blasé fashion choices
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

I have decided to try wildstar again. Don't remember why I quit last time, I hadn't played long. But I have a crack-addiction like craving for some RPG gameplay and finding a decent indie RPG will take me forever (speaking of that, has anyone else played The Spirit Engine 2? It's free and I like it very very much)

My medicaid case worker sent me a medicaid FAQ that is about 100 pages long; it arrived today
No instructions, no context at all, presents itself simply as a FAQ
I call a help line and learn than I was responsible for finding, filling out, and mailing back a duplicative medicaid application that starts around page 70 of the FAQ, and that this was due back to the county 2 days before it was mailed to me
t-thank you, medicaid case worker; yours is a light that shines brightly on those you serve

To be clear, I do respect private security dudes who wear a uniform and exist as a deterrent to robbery at places like jewelry stores or banks or gas stations, and that those guys are largely there to protect the staff.
I dont respect the "plainclothes" goobers who creep around department stores so they can spear a 15 year old who tries to steal a pair of Diesel jeans. Those guys are bags of shit doing an unnecessary job and they're uniformly shitty people.

i recall lud posting about it yeah, idk if it was a chatter since he wasn't specific or anything
didn't really start any drama I don't think
you are amazing
edit: this isn't sarcasm or meant to be mean, really, I am just astounded sometimes by the way you stubbornly hold your ground on certain things

I have my shovel out, old drama is getting relit!

brian said he wouldn't play ranked if i played torb
yes that definitely happened
but what's wrong with quitting an overwatch group to go play ranked with someone else? is that like a huge faux pas?
I mean, I don't own it
but I still want you all to know I won't play ranked with you
