Domebo mafia garnered 25 pages and 1240 posts. I don't know if that's the record, but it's probably close.
I guess we best get to work then! Marsilia, you feeling up to the challenge? You do need those 400 odd posts!

I did not! But, as I'm rather stupid about math and rather unspecific about music....
I like math, but I'd rather apply it to shopping. Wouldn't you?

I'm the queen of percentages off, as a matter of fact!
Me too! I used to calculate all the percentages off with our employee discount at my old retail store. How much do you pay for product if it's priced 12.99 taxable?

What's the discount?
What lullabies do you like?
Which ones do you hate?
I think the discount is really more important in its representation than theme and cannot be confined to the meaning of a single percentage. Amirite?

Oh. I though you were presenting a retail math problem.
Like, with a 20% discount, a $12.99 subtotal becomes $10.39. (OK, $10.392, but who's counting?)
$9.75, roughly, after tax.
Well, you can't get that specific. I mean, sometimes discounts differ for clearance merchandise or media, then taxed or nontaxed items also matter, as well as whether your company rounds the penny up or down (if they don't do the proper below four down), as well as her state's tax levels and the amount of their employee discounts.
It's magic, right Marsilia?

Rock-a-by Baby freaks me out a little, to tell you the truth.
It freaks me out a lot. I'd rather sing Little Fuzzy Animals, to tell the truth.
Well, sure. But if you know all the particulars, you should be able to calculate it.
My wife's store (part time, because apparently teaching middle-schoolers isn't stressful enough) offers a great discount, but of course it only applies to full price, not any active sales. So often the final price is confusing, since they run a lot of sales, especially on the things we tend to buy.
Right! Like, I got $9.75 by assuming a 30% (non-media retail discount for B&N), which brings it to roughly $9.10, then adding 7% sales tax (Mississippi), and guestimating a little. If it were a CD or DVD, it would have cost roughly $11.15.
Yeah. We don't offer an employee discount on sale items, either. That's why most of us have member cards (which offer at least a 10% discount on everything). Sometimes, that discount is substantially better than our employee.
My store our discount applied to even sale and super clearance items, but specialty boutique retail does that because they feel they get paid back for the employees just wearing their clothes...as you inevitably do because they pay next ot nothing and they end up going down to thrift store prices.

Was this at Hot Topic? My little sister and I took full advantage of that particular discount.
Her discount is far better than any sale they ever run. That's one of the main reasons she started working there.
The confusing thing is when the computer runs up the total, it runs it up using the sale price, then it applies the employee discount to the non-sale price. If you're not paying attention to the fact that there's a sale on, it can get confusing. I ended up arguing with one of her coworkers once when I thought the discount wasn't properly applied, because I forgot that the stuff was on sale.
It was! I still have friends that work for the company. When I see her next I'm going to get a discounted gift card, but mostly because they sometimes get really cute heels that go on super clearance.Was this at Hot Topic? My little sister and I took full advantage of that particular discount.
Also, I want one of their Justin Bieber shirts when they go on clearance. Just so I can look creepy. And if someone comments I'll yell "He's a really good vocalist!" all upset and angry-like.
Uh, what was I talking about again?

Bieber just amuses me.
Do you like any of his songs? I 100% hate them all..except for that Someone to Love track, which I'm surprised hasn't made a strong showing on my last.fm.

I think I heard one of his songs one time, and it didn't impress me either way. It just sounded like some pre-pubescent squeaking about things he doesn't really understand.
Supposedly he's totally got bobby brady syndrome and can't sing live now! Isn't that hilarious?

Oh, puberty! I bet he gets really bad acne next.
Marsilia - he's in Asia and Europe enough that he could use a day off to pop over to a country where it's legal to inject him with botox to make his skin too hardened to allow for botox. At the same time they probably sew doll hair into his scalp.

Then, he'll be shiny, and it'll still be gross.
I bet the oil has to creep out of his nose. OMG, maybe he's already done it and that's causing the bobby brady syndrome!
On a level of 1 to 10, 1 being the least plausible, how believable is my crazy internet theory?

Four, mostly because there's nothing gross or creepy that I wouldn't believe of some public figure or another.
You're only at 543? We need to pick up the pace on this thread.
What is this mafia game previously mentioned?

Other than life-threatening instances, what are good excuses for being rude to a retail worker who is trying to greet you?
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
If said retail worker is a friend outside the store, it is absolutely fine to joke around with them. If said retail worker has been a dick to you outside of the store setting, it's absolutely fine to be rude to them. If you're "jokingly" rude to a stranger, you're rude.
I have no idea! It was, apparently, before my time.
So, due to my school schedule, I didn't get the digital lead job. They decided, in stead, to give it to the passive aggressive cash lead from hell.
Will it amuse to see sales of the Nook drop because of that staffing decision?
Not really, because selling big ticket items is good for the store's bottom line, and they base our available payroll hours on how much money we make.
Fewer Nook sales=Fewer digits in M's paycheck
As long as management remembers that I'm perfectly capable of working other areas of the sales floor, my personal bottom line should be okay.
At the risk of exposing my pessimism: if this is the same management that believes that a passive-aggressive saleswoman is going to be more effective than someone who spent months mastering the product, sales techniques, and simply has a few hours of non-availability each week, I'm not sure I'd trust them to organize a drinking party in a bar.
They're apparently being subjected to "magical thinking" by their own superiors, who believe that the digital lead needs to follow the sales patterns, schedule wise. So, as I might have a few hours a week that they can't use me, I won't be able to follow the sales if those end up being big days, or...something. I'm not sure even they understand.
I blame management hiring passive aggressive leads due to their just existing for them continuing to get hired.
Because I've been promoted for being awesome and personable and retail and ended up quitting when I transferred and was working under not one, but TWO people who were clearly promoted for a) existing and b) waiting around for someone vulnerable to ass-kissing.
Don't you think it's indicative of actual management ability when shitty people are promoted or given better positions?

That, or it's indicative of management being treated less like mentally disabled children by said leads. My manager didn't seem terribly surprised that he was hearing about such a problem, but he did seem disappointed, and like it was something he felt needed fixing. That actually makes it better than when I complained about an aggressive aggressive coworker at my last job. I was pretty much told to suck it up and deal.
Is the new digital lead that hag who was harassing you about your keys the other day?
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
Yes.And, I feel like such a baby for "tattling," but seriously. She's everything I hate in other women.
