as a public company, it was bound to happen. shareholders ultimately come before the customer. Just because they weren’t the product, doesn’t mean apple actually cares about the consumer

the only thing a public company hates more than their own customers are they people they employ

yeah thankfully I do get time and a half, and I thibk my store also gives an extra 4 hours of pay for anyone who works on the day. It’s definitely better than nothing and I don’t mind the extra money :3c

its just the insensitive folk who remain ignorant to the fact that everyone else around them is living a life as varied as theirs that gets to me.

but same! honestly if I could I would even like shut down my entire home and spend the day out in the wild so I don’t have to give work to the people making sure utilities are still functional too. those Homies also deserve a break, and a hell of a lot more than time and a half

I mean y’all could stick it to the one percent by forgoing going to the store or eating out on labor day

someone unironically told me yesterday ‘you must be so busy with everyone off!’

I WAS busy, nothing changed on my end compared to every other Monday of the year. which is basically I’m given a job that’s too much for one person, but I struggle to get help so often than even getting my legally required breaks can be like pulling teeth.

anyway I just said ‘except for me! (:’ and she didn’t say anything else after that.

it’s like these people forget that we too are humans working behind the counter. People that are WORKING on LABOR day.

I mean you’re being rude towards the person who posted the meme, not the Pic itself lol

so I work retail which means labor day is just an excuse to have some kind of sale. And of course I didn’t get labor day off. Anyway someone unironically said to me ‘you must be pretty busy because everyone is off today’

‘except for me! (:’

she didn’t say anything else for the rest of the transaction lol. it’s like they forget we too are humans who are WORKING on LABOR day

At the start of the lowest point in my life. No it did not help

I reference this all the time

that’s actually super funny because those ARE my initials

wait a minute

ooh as like a hobby? what’re the cool things u discover? I love handwriting, even tho I don’t make the most legible print >m< but most of what I write is for my own eyes so as long as I can understand it idgaf

yeah I wish people understood the blackout only works if you keep doing it. a company like Sony isn’t gonna panic if people stop playing their games for a week. happy to state I was never interested in their stuff in the first place so I’ve haven’t been giving em money ever. I do wish we could get a bloodborne pc port tho

Specifically Destiny 2, as it’s been my vice since 2019. But given that Sony absolutely gutted the staff working on it, I’m really just trying to tie up loose ends with achivements n the like before moving on.

I’m hesitant to leave 10 because there are a few games I play that don’t support Linux, and I like em too much to quit if 10 still works. However, once support officially ends forreal, I will say goodbye to those games o7 11 will never touch my outers.

At work tho they had to upgrade to 11 in the office, and since it’s retail the office isn’t really that important but 11 is so poorly designed the computers barely run anymore

This is kind of what the game she’s from is about. Except in a more collective consciousness perspective than individualkstic. As long as one person remembers Lila, she is eternal.

I hate every day that discord destroyed forums

Yep, if the crate is only used for the vet, then the cat is gonna recognize that the crate means going to a place they don’t like. When I had my Willow I always left the crate around and open, made getting ready to the vet when I needed easy peasy.

tho the sweet boy was fine even at the vet, super friendly. I did not deserve him.

yeah as a gremlin who hates light not having a backlit keyboard suckkss
