Before long I’ll probably have to be my own customer service manager, right?  |

Hey Larry  I'm sure that there are those who will brand me, old fashioned, counter productive, you know, stuff like that. But, I think that "they" should back up and shelve some of our wonderful technology, so that regular human beings can go back to work. I remember when- "L.D."---Oh, Lord! Here he goes, again! kronk---Do you mind? "L.D."---Please, proceed. kronk---Ugh! As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted....I remember when I had a day job and worked at a place that had 5,300 employees. Now, admittedly, the place was very "overstaffed," and many of the employees "milked the system" horribly. That operation was doomed to fail, eventually, and it just so happened that I was around to see it collapse. What really gets me is the fact that "they," rather than find a solution where the employees could start acting right and retain their jobs, decided to replace said employees with technology. The operation went from 5300 employees to 1200. "L.D."---...and, your point? kronk---What? That's the end of the story. There "is" no point. "L.D."---Ugh?  |

Yeah Kronk, some corporate world executives would come and visit at the previous hospital kitchen I was employed at. They'd spend a couple of days walking around, re-arrange stuff that was just fine where it was, but when it came down to lunch or dinner time to serve patients and staff members they're nowhere to be found. Of course, they are the last to go if a layoff happens. |

...You have to wonder if the old fashioned and counter productive person that replied first was once a cop. The employee description ticks all the boxes.  |

...Kronk...I was at a place for thirty years and it got to the point where we would have conference calls to make plans for conference calls. It got to the point of absurdity and in the end, all of it was more or less pointless. It was, as you said, an exercise in milking the system by huckster. |

...see! Now you've gone and done it. I was having a relatively good day until I read this post and it brought out the "old man yelling at clouds" response in me. The local overpriced, understaffed and understocked grocery store recently installed eight of the self-checkouts and laid off a bunch of kids that worked the registers. Now, there is the bank of self-checkouts, twelve checkout lanes (two of which may be open at the best of times) and a very chatty express lane worker that is slower than the other cashiers checking out forty items. So you go for the self-checkouts. Press begin. Screen comes up telling you to please wait for an attendant. So you wait and look like you did something stupid like scanning yor butt and it broke the machine. People are looking at you like you are some kind of moron and all the other unhappy stiffs that are doomed to wait for you to finish up and go are giving you the mental finger. The attendant finally resets the machine and you scan your first item. The screen comes up to tell you once again to wait for an attendant. Some of the people waiting in line are shaking their legs or bouncing around a bit like they really need to use a rest room. You feign indignation and shake your fist at the machine. You cannot kick the machine because you could be charged with assaulting a store employee. Attendant comes and resets. Oh No! you have too many items and they won't all fit in the bagging area! You improvise and put a couple of items in your bag on the floor. A voice from the machine tells you to "please put your items in the bagging area" so you shift things there around trying to make a little space, failing miserably. Machine's screen comes up telling you to wait for the attendant. In disgust, yo cancel the transaction (once your machine is reset) and wheel it all over to one of the hopefully two checkout lines that now have ten people waiting in each, mostly due to your ineptitude at self-checkout 101 and they, in turn, show very little ability to form something resembling a line. The cart in front of you has stuff in it but has no person with it. The mystery is solved when a person moves in, throws some items into the cart and then heads off to do more shopping. Their turn to check out arrives and nobody is there to push the cart through and pay for their purchases. What do you do now? If you decide to move their cart aside and go through first, this is the moment they choose to revisit with another armload of stuff and give you a look like you're something nasty that they just stepped in while they were out walking. You can't win any more. Isn't technology great? I feel bad for the kids that will never have a chance to get a job and get good lifetime experience starting out at "the bottom". |

Uh…..Hekler, this was posted in the humor category. You’re not at Mar a Lago roaming the hallways and barging into banquet rooms to get the attention you so desperately seek. But other than that, you go guy! |

It’s surprising that you’re not taking the 5th. Boycotting is not the usual response from the far , far right. Perhaps you are taking a much needed “Time Out?” |

Oh, Lord! "They" know! kronk---Know what? "L.D."---"They" know that we're undercover! kronk---Relax, dog. Hekler was talking about the first person that commented. We commented second. "L.D."---C'mon, man! Hey Larry is the author of the post. His comment is like, part of the original post, think about it. We commented first! kronk---We're in a tight spot! "They" know! "L.D."---Ugh! |

Hekler Excellent comment, man! I was smothered in "red tape," myself. Too many copies to, too many people, that had little, or nothing to do with "the process." I had too little time to do the job "they" hired me to do. The experience at "the store," was right on. Last time I checked, the population was on the rise. "Give it back to humans!" Right on! |

What do you think? kronk---One of the finest rants I've heard in weeks. Hekler should certainly get a little something extra for that one. "L.D."---I concur. I'm really fired up about the issue, now! kronk---Easy there, big fella'. We're running low on "de-wormer!" "L.D."---Got any "Hardy Le Printemps Lalique Cognac Grande Champagne?" kronk---No! "LO.D."---Ugh! |

...many people are saying that getting yourself neutered is a much better option than receiving the vaccine. Why just the other day, a stranger walked up to me as I was out for my afternoon stroll and said "Sir! Your stalwart stance on the evils of vaccines made me see what a wimp I was and your advice about negating the odds for procreation made me see the light, be brave and get myself fixed. It brings tears to my eyes every time I remember your pledge to make America great again Bless you sir!". If anyone here also has a Truth Social account, could you please re-post this? His supporters need to hear stories of such unflinching patriotism. |

Hekler Very few of us "actually" know what's going on. They "are" encouraging people to get "neutered." "L.D."---C'mon, man. You still pushing that same old conspiracy theory? kronk---No, dog, it's true. Even as we write this, our "replacements" are surging across the southern border, at the rate of approx. 50,000 a month. |
