I fully agree, some people just need the extra clarification though
At the store I'm at it's handled pretty nice, we won't stop anyone under a very low amount (single digit €) and above that it's very dependent on your behaviour + how much you tried to steal, so you might just have to pay a 50€ fine without police involvement.
And only if the corporation is big enough. Don't steal from your local corner store.
And also, don't steal for profit.
I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you're good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I'll get my bonus thank you very much.
Thank you
In Germany, parents cannot be held liable if their child under 12 (or 14?) damages illegally parked cars with their bike.... Just a random fact of the day, nothing to do with your comment.
Did a stint in tech support, and had a fucking lawyer call me because his brand new laptop wouldn't turn on. The charging cable was sealed in the original plastic bag.
It seems some people are just completely unable to form reasonable thought-chains when it comes to technology.
About the example by OTP of his issue that they remove the scales next to the coffee, in relation to being the store manager, considering how little commercial scales cost, while also acknowledging that different stores (franchised or not, size of company vs size of the store) can impact the managers ability to provide such improvements to their customers.
It depends on the size of the company in relation to the store. And yep, franchised means the owner has got to pay for improvements outside of the franchise contract. But still, our scales are accurate to 0.05g, which is overkill for food, and "only" around 7-10k per, if you only have to be accurate to 1g, they shouldn't be more than 1-2k.
That's what managers are for tho. Yeah, don't bitch to the cashier, they have no say, managers tho? (Competent) managers can influence corporate to a degree, especially with tiny things like a scale.
Nazi ideology is never an opinion. It's a threat to human rights and democracy.
Yeah, I totally get that there is a need for cheap power only cables, but why are there what feels like 30 different data "standards". Just gimme power-only, data, and fast-data. And yeah, in 2 years there'll be a faster data protocol, so what, that's then fast-data24, fast-data26, etc. and manufacturers have to use a specific pictogram to label them according to the highest standard they fulfill.
