šŸŽ­ GD Chat Room (Part 1)

Thereā€™s a joke there butā€¦ Iā€™m doing quite well so far on my return from my latest forum banā€¦ Maybe next yearā€¦

Hmm. Thatā€™s a difficult one for me to figure out.

I loved when we ordered gluten free food and they subbed it with vegetarien food that wasnā€™t gluten free. Mmm duuuh stupid pickers :woman_facepalming:

I think my Christmas dinner this year will be a tin of Heinz lentil soup, gammon cooked from frozen roast spuds, some wrinkled peas and bullet like carrot cubes, gravy so thick it looks like crude oil and of course, the obligatory skirlie. Then some ice cream that if you leave to sit in the bowl with the mandarins it refuses to melt naturally due to all the preservatives in it followed by a mince pie that feels like youā€™re trying to swallow a lump of molten rock with some congealed custard that both resembles and smells like sulphur from same volcano.

I should just cut my losses and have a Pot Noodle.

Or how about one of my regular customers who is clearly vegan, she ordered vegan sausages and they didnā€™t have any so they sent herā€¦

Richmond pork sausages.

Luckily she just laughed and said ā€œagainā€¦ā€

This is what happens when you employ pickers fresh out of school, pay them next to nothing, lucky if they get 20 hours a week (Iā€™m on a 22.5 hour per week contract) and tell them they have to fulfil all the online orders in 8 hours.

And thereā€™s only 2 of them.

Hence at least 50% of my orders with alcohol still have the security tags on them and Morrisons, despite their blurbs telling you what should be in the van before you start your shift, like a phone for calling customers, Nah. use your own phone. That way everybody who orders now knows your number. I refuse to call people. i donā€™t want random people knowing my number, not answering but finding the time to call at 1 am wondering where their delivery is. This has happened. And we donā€™t have a detagger in the van (despite the van check sheet asking if we have one and again, the official video telling you we should have one) to remove any tags for ā€œsecurityā€ and the best one of the lot, despite the store management team last week telling me I had to finish my learning on Challenge 25 and manual handling. still deciding that 2 sack trucks between 6 vans is perfectly acceptable;e and who cares if the delivery driver breaks his back! Easilly replaced!

Yeah, donā€™t go there. Iā€™m back from 30 days for a much, much lighter joke.

Roast beef and all the trimmings!!

As if ā€œbig Americanā€ company care about thatā€¦ When I worked retail I got a verbal warning from head office for refusing to sell an age restricted product to a kid under 10ā€¦

The biggest laugh is when they tell you watch out for proxy buying. Youā€™re sitting there saying "do management actually believe a proxy buyer is going to be so stupid as to actually arrange it in full view of the store? Heres a tip management fellah who commissioned a the video training but has never once set foot into the real worldā€¦ THEY ARRANGE IT OUT OF SIGHT!. So unless they make it perfectly obvious, your staff will never ever know! Want to know where 99% of proxy sales happen Mr management bloke who is getting paid more money in a week than I see in a year? In the house! Kid goes to mum, asks mum to buy her a bottle of vodka, mum (who is an idiot) goes to store, buys vodka, goes home and hands it over to the kid.

Now unless you have a flying drone in every potential customerā€™s house following their every move, or perhaps you have psychic powers we donā€™t know aboutā€¦ how the tiger bloomer bread are we supposed to know itā€™s a proxy?

Howsabout we swap jobs because quite frankly Iā€™m surprised you manage to get dressed without putting your underpants on your head.

wb slapface :dracthyr_yay_animated: and yeah the system is random, just like in game. not much sense really.

in game they now give option to not communicate with disable chat, like when there is pala in my game currently using blinding light constant wipe all dots i ramped, i chose to not tell him anything, its nice that they made this kind of mode rated gameplay. I cant enjoy it with random comps and not even have the option to tell ppl to stop doing x cause it causes us to lose when potentially it can be interpret as offensive.

yday it was mage spamming poly, i wanted tell him he cant spam poly with affli cause it wipes dots from targets but i chose not say anything cause it could be interpret as offensive lol. anything can be interpret as one pleases, and people tend to get offended more often than use sense or have a laugh.

anyways wb to the forums :dracthyr_crylaugh:

Happened to me so many times.
You got your 5 DOT set up, Darkglare, and some room temperature IQ Hunter traps one of the targets for no reason.

Infuriating stuff, but still less frustrating than playing Resto Shaman.

thisā€¦ soul rot, singularity, agony, corruption, ua on 3 targets press darkglare. watch pala use blinding light or hunter scatter shot for no reason. this current pala ran to blinding light disc on 30% hp who would had died otherwise. he just use it random cause he thinks he needs to use his cc everytime its off cd without thinking much anything else of it. and we lost cause the disc got my ramp up off from himself and was able to recover. im dying inside. :slight_smile:

league players call this inting but i dont know if we can call it ā€œintentional feedingā€ when these people dont know what they are doing, any case its better to not say anything these days. :smile:

Yes, awful stuff. At least it tends to go away as you climb, whereas Rsham is always tilting. They just donā€™t seem the damn totem.

i dont have nerves to climb this mode sadly, when i push i build comps for arena that specifically are designed to work together and make sense. i only use this shuffle to get vaults and while sitting in lfg waiting. for time efficiency basically i need the honor from somewhere for vault. but i cant imagine spending my day solely only queuing mode like this with random comps and people doing random things wiping your dots or breaking your cc and the like, its not how i want to play.

Yeah we have a good heart to heart with our delivery drivers over the stupidity of the shops and how they donā€™t supply properly for them. You can absolutely tell when there are holiday workers because the quality of your delivery goes down so bad. Terrible dates on food, terrible swaps or just plain ā€œno sub availableā€ like -really- there were no eggs whatsoever? No gluten free bread IN THE ENTIRE WORLD? NO MILK IN THE WORLD?

I miss shopping for ourselves but it just isnā€™t feasible lol. Love the drivers though, great people. Much respect!

we have some system in local supermarket that you buy stuff from app example and go get the grocery bag from locker on parking area. it costs 5 dollar extra tho so im so cheap i just go in the store and get my milk and bread and whatever, im like scrooge mcduck :joy:

Click and collect seems pointless to me. If I am going anyway, I will pick my own stuff.

Iā€™ve had to move onto lacto free milk in recent months (redacted ibs) and hate when they sub my lacto free with almond or soya milk which both taste nasty, I reckon they run out of lacto free so much because people choose that when normal milk has run out so poor people like me get stuck with the bad tasting vegan stuff.

Havenā€™t tried grocery delivery services and I have to say that you guys are not selling it to me at all.
If I order something I want that specific thing and not whatever closest you happen to have on hand. Also if itā€™s out it should say so on the site/app and/or inform me before delivery.
Going to stick with goodā€™ol manual shopping a while longer ^^
