Wait, people bag stuff at Aldi's? I thought everybody just had the grab cardboard boxes and do it by the long counter in front of the cash registers I imagine it's probably different depending on where in the country you are. At the local Aldi's where I grew up (Northern Ohio), customers had to bag everything, and there was a very small counter where things were placed after the cashier scanned them, so you have to be pretty quick at bagging. Granted, the few times I went there, the cashier would go at the pace you were bagging at, which probably skews my perception, admittedly. It's also been several years since I've been to an Aldi. I now live out west, where there's less stores like Aldi's, and more just... "Smaller" national chains, like Kroger's/Smith's. And since those stores have traditional checkout conveyors, they have to make sure the previous customer finished bagging before they can begin to check out the next customer. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Have you ever worked in a grocery store? My girlfriend works at a local Smith's, and their policy is scan first unless you can't, and then wait for and/or assist in bagging. It's done this way specifically to avoid incident where customers either complain because stuff fell on the floor, or things get bagged for/by the wrong customer. If the previous customer still has a shit ton left to bag, for example, you don't start scanning for the next customer, because... The food is going to end up in the same bagging area. Hence... The line is held up by that customer, regardless. She was instructed specifically not to start scanning for the next customer until the previous customer has bagged all of their groceries, and if it means helping bag, you help bag. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Not true at all. I routinely get rang up as the bagger is still bagging groceries for the person in front of me. Not at Aldi, but Publix, but the same point stands. This typically isn't true for places that don't actually have baggers. When the customer has to bag their own stuff, the policy is almost always to wait on them to finish, or atleast be in a position where they CAN finish and everything is out of the way. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

| StealThisSheen 05/24/24 9:55:54 PM #73 | And, to be fair, my stance comes as a former Kmart manager.
Yes, the registers timed how long it took to check out. But also, the customers typically had to bag their stuff, the cashier at the front couldn't help bag until everything was scanned. Thus, if the customer was slow bagging, and that caused the cashier to have to slow down, also, that wasn't held against the cashier, since check-out reports went to the manager first, anyway, and we could choose when/how to act on them, since, at the end of the day, we submitted our own reports, afterwards. Thus, I'd rather seeing a cashier have to stand there while a customer bagged, over them rushing a customer, since... Customer complaints went ABOVE our heads, and we couldn't help, in that instance. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

I instinctively feel like this was a case where she was bagging slow as fuck. Even if that's true, the line can't move until she finishes bagging, so it just makes sense to slow down, anyway, since if stuff falls on the floor... You're just causing the customer to take even longer to bag. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

I feel like Aldi employees can't win. First people threw a fit because they sat in chairs, now they're throwing a fit because they're too efficient. Oh I forgot people are already throwing a fit for self checkout. And throw a fit for long lines. To be fair, this isn't just "too efficient," this sounds like a specific case where the cashier was rudely going too quickly, since the customer asked them to slow down so they could bag, and the cashier refused. This would be a non-story if the cashier had simply "Oh, okay, this customer asked me to slow down, so I will." If you're checking out so quickly that things are falling on the floor because the customer can't keep up, and you refuse to slow down, even when they request it... You're being a dick. Yes, I feel the "shaking and crying" rhetoric is too much, but the overall point feels fine. Literally nobody is going to fault you if you slow down by customer request. EDIT: For example, going that quickly won't make the line move any quicker, since the line moving still depends on the customer finishing bagging, anyway. Thus, by refusing the customer's request to slow down, and thus items fall on the floor, all you're doing is causing the customer to take longer to bag, anyway, so it's actually hurting your productivity. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

zoomers are dumb and need quick tiktok like content because their attention span sucks I don't even think it's necessarily just that, really. Games come out at a much quicker pace, today, than they did when most of us were kids, and so today's generation is used to getting through games quickly and moving on to the next. Likewise, there ARE plenty of more strategic mobile games out there, so it's not just a "mobile is dumbing down society" thing, either. Hell, there are mobile games out there I'd love to play, but I don't, because I don't want to commit the time, since I primarily play mobile games during work in my down time, and so I want very quick pick up and play style games. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

| StealThisSheen 05/24/24 9:09:18 PM #15 | This is likely very true. Older gamers are getting tired/busy/whatever, and don't really have as much time for deeper games... Or, if they do, they commit to less of them, overall. And then younger games are the iPhone generation who grew up on mindless time killer games, so they mostly don't even get into them, to begin with.

| StealThisSheen 05/24/24 9:05:29 PM #17 | Not to defend Activision too much, but Call of Duty even kinda blatantly makes sure you know the difference between shooting bad guys and innocents. There's literally a mission in... Modern Warfare 2? 3? Where you play as an undercover agent trying to infiltrate a terrorist group, and the first mission is literally the terrorists shooting up an airport... And it flat out gives you the option to not actually shoot any of the random civilians, at all. It basically goes out of its way to make you feel guilty, if you do. And then you can even skip that mission all together, since they knew it was a touchy subject.
Say what you want about Activision, but they handle things fairly well, with Call of Duty. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

great idea picking your kid-friendly iconic laser sword weapon that can slice through anything and kill anyone in one swing, lop off limbs effortlessly, like the scene in the cantina, blood and all. and then Han shoots and kills Greedo like 5 minutes later. you know, for kids! To be fair, death happens all the time in kids movies. Whether a movie is "for kids" or not depends entirely on how graphic something is. Even dismemberment can and has happened in kids movies, as long as it's not especially bloody or gory. There should be no debate Star Wars was always meant for kids. The problem with his statement is that being for kids doesn't excuse overall poor writing. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

| StealThisSheen 05/24/24 8:57:20 PM #20 | Also, not to defend George Lucas, but I think I get his point a bit more since, as somebody born in '87, the first Star Wars movie I actually saw was Episode 1. And, yes, it has politics and junk, but... The story was simple enough and I enjoyed the action so much that it made me want to see not just episode 2 and 3, but 4/5/6, as well.
As an adult, I now see how bad Episode 1 actually is. But as a kid, whose first Star Wars experience WAS Episode 1... It actually did make me buy into Star Wars as a whole. I didn't see the bad writing, as a kid. I just saw cool space scenes and lightsaber fights and pod racing which, at the time, seemed so fucking cool, and so on. And it made me watch everything else Star Wars. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

The movies weren't bad because they were geared towards kids lol, such a lame excuse I feel like both can be true. Star Wars is definitely aimed toward kids. But also, yeah, the movies weren't bad only because they were aimed at kids. EDIT: That said, since I saw Episode 1 as a kid... Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I glossed over the politics crap, since it was just background noise that basically told me "This is why they're fighting. Okay now here they are fighting" and I was like "Fuck yeah" at the action scenes. And even the politics crap was simple enough that I atleast sorta understood it, even if I didn't care about it. I think the main point is that Star Wars has never been deep. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

Hell, my old car used to have an issue with taillights burning out faster than they should due to an issue with the brackets, and it was a pain to replace them because Mitsubishis used to basically lock those things up like a bank vault. One day I bought some replacements for cheap at an auto part store, and when I was getting my oil done at Valvoline, I just asked them if they'd put the bulb in, and not only did they do it, they didn't even charge me for it, since I supplied the bulb.

The question of the topic is literally, "How do I get twitter.com to stop redirecting to x.com" You can't. The entire reason people on here complain, as you referenced, is because GameFAQs embeds links with twitter.com, but not x.com. Otherwise, you're stuck being redirected to X on mobile, if you actually go to the site in question. Basically, the entire point is people don't want to have to go to the site, and thus they want people to post the Twitter links that embed, so they don't have to. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
