Wait.
Where did you learn Azarath Metrion Zinthis, Rave?

((It begins indeed.))
((Don't worry, I'll save these people!
Maybe.))
((By "save" you mean "kill and/or mutilate," right?))
((No!
Only if they attack and/or irritate me.))

Why not begin seduction technique.

Being a chair, attempt to get the horrible ting to sit on me.

Keep going east towards the treasure trove!
You and I think alike! Go for the awesome loot!

...well, do that again and I burn you. Next one, then.

Walk up to the nearest alive person.

WO IST DER MARKT?

More research!

Who are we waiting for?
Zoah, IIRC. Xero said he's busy though.

I am exaggerating slightly. Not by very much, though; there are a lot of people who have never worked a day of retail who think that I, as the cashier, automatically know where everything in the store is, what is or is not on sale, and how to magically work the system for their convenience.

Most of the bad customers are just not-good customers, who get frustrated over some trivial crap, then just blow it off or get defrosted by a smile and apologies. The actual BAD customers? 5%. Those 5% can go suck a fuck. They can take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. A flying fuck at the moooooooooooon.
All right, Digital Hellhound, where's the real Ross Vernal?
No seriously, that exact quote is in DH's sig.

You don't want to know.

20% is a metric shitton of bad customers... Seriously, I must have served thousands of sandwiches that people were too lazy to make themselves for one tenth the cost, and never once got flak. Either I'm the luckiest guy ever, or you had a pretty bad run.
You did win a Snickers thing 3 days in a row.

I'm expecting a whole bunch of answers like that, and then someone will timidly present some modestly positive story that goes against the grain.
So... out of curiosity.  How many decent jobs are really out there?  Ones where low-level employees are given proper rewards and dignity?  Do they actually exist?  Does anyone here have one?
I volunteer at a food bank and it's not shit. No dignity losses so far.

14 million years? Hell, we'll have killed ourselves off LONG before then.

Or directly messing around with genetics will become so simple and commonplace that whatever evolutionary course we're on now will be made completely irrelevant.  And we'll all be immortal.  And our fashion will be ridiculous.
You'll be wanting to read The Culture.
