Mr. Burns purchasing a copy of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch.

You know Mr. Burns would get the Wii U copy since it's cheaper.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

Just wanted to chime in and say that working in customer service is absolute butt sometimes.

Oh wow we got a new poll.
Oh wow it shills Etrian Odyssey.

That's why I got out of retail. Fifteen years of that ****. I was done.

I love my warehouse job. Boxes don't talk back to me.

 

[praline]

I remember when my store was on strike this guy that basically looks like a token hippy came up to the store and we asked him not to shop their cause we were on strike and he straight up said he didn’t care.

this takes place in an AU where Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition sold so poorly they payed you to buy it.

Oh, another story where I nearly lost my **** and threw hands with a grown *** man as a teenager
"Hello, do you have any raisin boxes yet?"
You mean the ones we keep at the sweets aisle? I'm afraid not, yesterday was Saint Maarten (Basically Halloween) and we haven't gotten much cargo so far today
"Excuse me?! That was YESTERDAY!"
Sir it's 9AM we don't usually get these until 12 and I already saw we got nothing from this aisle so far
"WHAT WILL ME DAUGHTER HAVE TO EAT AS HER SCHOOL SNACK THEN? YOU PIECE OF **** THAT WAS YESTERDAY WHY DON'T YOU HAVE IT NOW?!"
Because the cargo hasn't come in yet and it won't for another few hours
"GOD YOU'RE ****ING USELESS. NOW MY DAUGHTER'S GOING TO STARVE!"

Deadass nearly yelled 'IF YOU GIVE YOUR DAUGHTER RAISIN BOXES AS A SCHOOL SNACK YOU DON'T ****ING LOVE HER" at that *******

I feel bad for the daughter.
I keep on imagining her having only raisin boxes while the other kids get sandwiches, fruits and stuff.
Who only gives their daughter raisin boxes for a school snack?

 

[Moydow]

Oh wow we got a new poll.
Oh wow it shills Etrian Odyssey.

It does? Oh, wow! I wonder who it was? Whoever made that poll has excellent taste in videogames. And they must be pretty intelligent too, to know that the Japanese word for "brave" can also be translated into English as "hero".

Not really customer service (office manager for a contracting company) but I've had my fair share of unpleasant interactions with people calling in to complain about a mistake one of our crews made, and it's almost always the rich people types with nothing better to do. There was once someone that threatened to sue after one if his lawn lights was broken while we were doing a cable installation.
And by lawn light I mean those ****ty little solar powered ones that you can get for $20 at Walmart. I get why they were upset but come on.

 

[staindgrey]

I remember when my store was on strike this guy that basically looks like a token hippy came up to the store and we asked him not to shop their cause we were on strike and he straight up said he didn’t care.

The worst customer apathy I ever had was two years ago, when the owner of our local sofa manufacturer took his whole family to Mexico for a vacation, and while they were there, they got dangerously sick and they weren't sure if his toddler grandchild was going to make it. He stayed two extra weeks in Mexico at the hospital and no custom order sofas were completed in that time.

We called to inform the various customers whose sofas were going to be delayed, and all of them basically said "oh wow that's terrible, I understand" except for one ****er who answered, and I quote, "Well that's not my problem. What are you going to do for me?"

*****, **** you and everyone you love.

Sounds like those asshole who squeeze threw between you and the thing you're filling up without warning so when you bump into them because you didn't notice someone was there since 2 seconds ago they then proceed to have a go at you for bumping into them. Somehow it's worse when you're on your knees to fill up something that's low and they go "DON'T BE SHOCKED! I'm gonna grab something above you" because then you're just on your knees in a cramped ass space because some asshole doesn't know personal space and as I'm claustrophobic, you can imagine my mental state when this happens

Ahh, the box.

The box never complains, never moves when you do not want them to and always stays in shape.

The box is doing something right.

Okay so as I mentioned very late last night I'm gonna be archiving every previous Smash Cycle from Pre Melee-Up until now and it's going to be a daunting task.

I bring this up cause I have two questions to ask 1) Is anyone else interested in helping with this project? I'm gonna need all the help I can get and 2) Is there any specific thing you'd like me to bring up in the Archive?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well, if this talk of an 11th Direct is true, we'll find out about this time tomorrow, if I remember Nintendo's patterns correctly.

Luckily I don't work in retail, but I do have to deal with hundreds of customers on the daily. Oddly enough, I'm pretty introverted so you'd think I'd avoid jobs that require talking to people at all costs, but for some reason customer service just so happens to be what I'm good at. Just been "faking it 'til I make it" I suppose.

If I had a dollar for every time I wanted to post this just so I could claim to be a smash bros self insert...

Nah... Brave is Merida.

Or maybe Brave is Moydow ’s most wanted. Who knows?

I hope his toddler made it.
Whoever said "it was not my problem", I hate them. What a piece of garbage.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Who do I have to blow to get N. Sane/Reignited style HD Remake collections of The Ape Escape Trilogy, Sonic Adventure 1+2, Donkey Kong 64, and Banjo-Kazooie + Banjo-Tooie.

Edit: Mods, does that word need to be censored? Should I self-sensor in this case? I don’t know.

 

[staindgrey]

Whoever that person is, I hate them. What a piece of garbage.

He did. Everyone came home safe and sound.

There is a short list of people I honestly think the world would be better off without if they died. The person who answered that phone call is on that list.

 

[Gentlepanda]

a direct on the 11th would be announced on the 10th

Nah, it'll be on the 10th. It's currently the 8th stateside. We got until Wednesday to wait for news.

Yeah I’ve had that happen too. Like I’m on my knees stocking something and I turn my head and there’s just a guys crotch like right in my face.

Or when i’m working up by the front entrance and a customer walks into the store and asks me where like 20 items are. I guess people are just useless.

Don't know about the others but Ape Escape is dead in the water unfortunately. Sony abandoned that IP.

Nah, Brave is Sir Lancelot the Brave with Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot as an echo fighter.

Nah. It's usually safe to talk about Banjo-Tooie here.

What does that even mean? As long as they still own it the can resurrect it at any time. And after Crash and Spyro any corporate executive worth his salt will be looking at their old “dead” early 3D platformers like hungry wolves with dollar signs in their eyes.

I know.

I once stood up for someone that was an immigrant.
She hated Trump ( I do too ), and people were harassing her. The mean people said "Go back to Mexico" and nasty stuff like that. I stood up for her, and I feel good for it.

Gameexplain probably knows when the Direct is to be blunt.

I mean, they'll never say it themselves but they were so confident the Grinch hoax was a hoax they basically never talked about it.

Just gonna share an amazing meme.

Even if it’s not we know there’s going to be a direct at some point this month because of Update 3.0. So we’re going to be plaiting for the announcement every Wednesday regardless.
