Maybe he’s just another tourist looking for a beach getaway.

For fuck's sake, yeah—exactly. You get this massive pallet of milk delivered and you just have to haul the whole damn thing over to the display area yourself.

I honestly don't know what kind of grocery stores you're hitting up if they're leaving milk sitting out on pallets. Every single store I go to keeps the milk tucked away in the refrigerators.🕺

wiredrider9 said:Hahaha, man, you seriously have no clue—what warehouse worker? We’re talking about those massive Walmarts or big-box stores, not the other 90% of regular local shops out there. A warehouse worker? LOL, give me a break.

Look, dude, I'm telling you—there’s a Walmart right near my office that actually has a dedicated stock clerk just for that tiny two-square-foot storage closet in their corner shop. They even gave him one of those little mini forklifts so he doesn't blow out his back.



The only thing is, it doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of a big one. When he goes into reverse, he has to yell "BEEP BEEP BEEP" just so he doesn't plow right into Mrs. Miller while she's reading the paper and sipping her coffee in the corner.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about some kid whining on Reddit about how hard his job is or how much he "deserves" time off... oh wait, actually, I really do.

wiredrider9 said:Have you ever actually worked a register, you clown? What would you even know? Honestly, these cashiers have powers like Yoda—milk pallets just sort themselves onto the shelves. You’re officially dumber than I am.

What kind of dick pallet are you talking about? Have you ever even heard of a manual pallet jack? Every single damn store has them now. Cashiers in even the smallest corner shops don't unload the freight; the guys from the delivery trucks do that, dumping everything straight into the stockroom. A cashier just grabs a box here or there when they need to fill a shelf.

I'm not going to sit here and list every single job I've held in my life, because I've done just about everything. A huge chunk of that was heavy physical labor where I spent hours on my feet in factories and production plants. I also worked those famous cash registers at two different stores—one with high-tech gear, and twice during the holiday rush where I was on my feet all day long.

Cashier work isn't at the top of the list for physically demanding jobs, but it definitely tops the list for how much it wears out your tongue while you're working.

Poor cashiers. They’re absolutely exhausted just from sitting at the register all day and stacking boxes on the shelves. Only a six-hour shift, too. 🙏

Let’s go ask one of those fishermen what he thinks about their little complaints. He’s out there with hands raw from the wind, hauling heavy nets and lugging crates upon crates of fish while dealing with freezing ice.

I wouldn't call myself that. I'm not the one putting my faith in some bearded old man sitting on a cloud, watching everyone get off.

Well, some people definitely do.

Yeah, staring at a fridge full of yogurt and picking out apples is definitely the peak of weekend boredom.

brightpilot6 said:Regarding masks and how the world handled things, there certainly wasn't a universal consensus, though the mockery was undoubtedly fueled by the simple fact that people just couldn't get their hands on them. On one hand, I see where they were coming from, but on the other, I find it hard to wrap my head around how we haven't managed to scale up mass production by now.

That is to say, I suppose it’s just the typical, predictable incompetence you'd expect from an GOP supporter.

The reason they shifted everything to China was all about cutting costs. Most of the masks available worldwide are made in China.

The system isn't even breaking a sweat over two patients with Coronavirus. We’ve barely got anything over 1,000 active cases right now, and out of that total, about 700 people are just chilling at home in isolation.

Two days ago, our infection numbers were higher than they were twenty days ago, yet now we're talking about easing restrictions. Twenty days ago, the only thing we heard was #StayHome.

Why ease up now instead of twenty days ago? 🤷

When this second wave hits, are we going to be told to #StayHome for another month and a half?

What if the virus has mutated by then?

Look, it's not the same thing whether you have 31 sick people spread across different cities or if 25 of them are stuck in one single nursing home like yesterday.

I think we need to be real here. Even though I was panicking at first—reading stupid clickbait headlines like an idiot and venting on this forum—it feels pretty dumb looking back at the situation now that I'm being level-headed.

They should have pulled the trigger on those measures about ten days ago. They're being way too slow.

First off, they weren't telling anyone to wear masks because they didn't have any in stock. Now, suddenly, after two massive shipments of 70 and 50 tons of medical supplies just landed, everyone’s acting like wearing a mask is mandatory all of a sudden.

urbanhawk17 said:Mortality rates might look low on paper, but for the person actually dying, it's a solid 100%.

Every single minute you spend on this planet is just one minute less of your life left🐔

Aha, alright then. I guess I'll go ahead and ask if I'm running a bit behind here 🤣.

I haven't touched torrents in forever, so I'm totally out of the loop on this one.

How on earth did you watch five games when there are only two going on outside?

They’re just coasting through this because their leaders are absolute idiots. They were way too slow to act, and now they've left the entire healthcare system in a total disaster zone.

When are the new episodes about the Chicago Bulls dropping on Netflix? Are we looking at tomorrow, or do we have to wait until Saturday?

wiredrider9 said:Nah, this whole epidemic thing? Totally just a coincidence.

But look, there are more and more studies pointing directly to this:

WHO reveals 'deeply concerning' estimate that from the available covered data so far more than half of European Covid-19 deaths occurred in care homes

Italy and UK have estimated that from so far analysed deaths 45% where based in nursing homes, both countries have increased tests in nursing homes and among nursing home staff

Quote : Ireland : Sharp increase in The number of deaths and confirmed Covid-19 cases based in nursing homes

There are now 1,944 laboratory-confirmed cases of the virus in nursing homes (6669 active, 2% hospitalized). Ireland has identified 175 Covid clusters and outbreaks in nursing homes so far

With a guy like that, even keeping a six-foot distance won't keep you safe. He’ll be right in your face, breathing down your neck while he talks, even if you try to back off ten feet.

The folks on this forum don't have any shame.

Nobody here has any rights left.
