Great bit. Telling everyone they’re too online by replying to every single post in the thread. Sad others didn’t get the joke.
Yeah those dudes should have their needs met regardless of profession
“No, not like that”
Your stance in no way influenced my thinking
“It’s everyone’s responsibility to talk me out of being a dipshit and if they refuse to waste time, that just proves me right. Oh and I want a detailed report on the bi-partisan border bill on my desk before my bed time or you’re extra wrong.”
but what about MY perceptions?
I’m excited to share that I’ve recently reached Gold rank in Overwatch! For those unfamiliar, Overwatch is a softcore pornography game that requires a significant commitment to bitterness and abusive chat messages–all crucial skills in both gaming and cloud development.
I never said we should kill him.
I think the biggest problem with what you’re saying is that stores are already doing it. What does happen, can happen. If having customers check out their own groceries and pick their own product is so profitable, and the other is not, then why are they doing pickups? On the one hand these retail giants are so smart they’re using the Piggly Wiggly model because it’s the most cost-effective thing but they’re also throwing all that away on apps and online ordering?
Distribution chains already flow from larger warehouses to smaller stores. A store that is a last-mile micro fulfillment center works just fine in the distribution chain. In fact, when you order online they already ship stuff to their stores for your order. They’re already taking things from the larger fulfillment center and moving it to a store. Then an employee gets it ready for you to pickup. They don’t actually have stock of everything listed on their site. They even bounce inventory from store to store.
Walmarts are warehouses. Lowe’s Hardware and Home Depot are warehouses. Sam’s Club, Costco, BJs, etc. They’re not distribution centers but they are warehouses.
Piggly Wiggly didn’t have pocket computers that make picking easier. Customers also couldn’t send in orders digitally.
A store like Walmart has a back storage/staging area. Employees have to move product to the salesfloor anyways. They get interrupted by customers asking for stuff. They also have to worry about cleanups and security and organizing for customers rather than quick picking.
Dollar general takes that and scales it down. They remove the storage/staging. But it works the same way. The story is designed for customers and employees must support customers. Removing the customer presence eliminates a lot of friction from a systems standpoint.
Either way employees must walk the floor. You can’t really offload the cost of that onto the customer. One employee picking 5 orders at once eliminates a lot of foot-traffic in the store.
The real lore gets removed.
Like foxes being part of my family crest.
Corn Sweat sounds like the name of a soft drink in a satirical story.
Every character in Concord looks like a background extra in a cheap sci-fi movie. They’re very colorful but somehow completely generic and bland. And the game was advertised with unearned enthusiasm. “Hey, you get the opportunity to play this fun adventure game that is fun and enjoyable and adventurous. You’ll get to play as the funny, spunky, in-your-face, funny, space character. Do you like that you consumer? We made this for you. This is stuff you like.”
Every season of Stranger Things ends with slow motion screaming.
Joke?
I completely agree but we must also consider reading literature as well. People consumed with buying books, sitting alone, completely enveloped in a fantasy world with no regard for what’s happening outside of their story. It’s not a coincidence that the printing press accompanied industrialization.
Sorry, we’re doing inzoi now.
