I’m not at work today, but every day they post in the GroupMe app they need people. Every. Day. Looks like $2 extra isn’t enough incentive. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 06:15 12
- The PPE is provided right? -- nm* - con_carne Apr 25, 06:36 3
  - They do provide masks. They are easily the wish.com version of PPE. I’ve bought my own from etsy folks. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 06:39 2
    - There are so many options on Etsy I am suffering from not being able to choose -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 25, 06:49 1
      - I am preferring the ones that have two strings to tie behind your head. But they need to be strings, not ribbons or something flimsy. - Qale Apr 25, 06:52
- How’d it go yesterday? -- nm - spamlet Apr 25, 06:35 6
  - I got baited by an old man and fought with him. Got my talking to by the store’s 2nd. I should have known it was a trap. Masks make the job much... - Qale Apr 25, 06:38 5
    - I want to hear about the fight with the old man. -- nm - Diva Apr 25, 08:46
    - Your last sentence still baffles me about stores. Why haven’t they staffed that up for demand? - spamlet Apr 25, 06:45 3
      - I don’t understand it myself. They took on a temp agency to provide quick/dirty labor. I’ve seen scant evidence of that actually happening at my store - Qale Apr 25, 06:49 2
        
        I guess i really hadn’t thought of the money losing aspect since the prices are the same but labor is higher. - spamlet Apr 25, 06:51 1
        
        The prices are actually somewhat higher. HEB is tricky on how they do it too. It’s not a strict % across the board. Some items are more than others. - Qale Apr 25, 06:56
- I'm not sure $5 an hour extra would be enough to entice people. Stay safe! -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 06:33

- Dave 2 -- nm - Max Apr 25, 11:46
- I’m not sure we’ll know when he dies. I imagine that’s a Death of Stalin scenario. -- nm - spamlet Apr 25, 06:33 2
  - I think if there's a long period of uncertainty, it may mean he's on life support. If he actually dies, I think they'll want to have a huge state - mara Apr 25, 06:41 1
    - He doesn’t have a heir apparent. There will be a lot of fighting behind the scenes to determine who comes out on top before a funeral. -- (edited) - spamlet Apr 25, 06:47
- Genuine question. What happens if he dies? Who is next in line? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 05:54 6
  - His sister -- nm - eag Apr 25, 05:55 5
    - And then follow up question. Is that good news or bad news or unknown news? - Volnelk Apr 25, 06:12 4
      - Trump will immediately suddenly hate North Korea, that’s one thing. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 06:33
      - I can't find much of a scouting report on her, though. -- nm - mara Apr 25, 06:26 1
        
        This is interesting but not that enlightening. -- (link) - mara Apr 25, 06:30
      - Unless a major power struggle happens, it seems pretty neutral news to me. Things wouldn't change any more than they did when KJU took over. -- nm - mara Apr 25, 06:25
Don Homer's wife is about to go into transplant surgery. Just posted! (Screenshot) -- (pic) - Andie Apr 25, 05:33 [Attachment] 5

- actually, couldn't bezos just buy the usps and turn it around? how much could it be worth? - zeitgeist Apr 24, 23:21 1
  - Privatization of the Post Office would be the worst possible outcome. Prices would skyrocket, rural mail delivery would end and they'd kill off - Krusty Apr 25, 06:38
