Now, normally this would go without saying, but I feel you may be one of the handful of people on Hexbear Dot Net (formerly Chapo Dot Chat) who could benefit from this advice:

In the event that the Produce department team start hiding little plastic Army men above the lights, under absolutely no circumstances should you gather up several of them, hack them into little pieces, arrange the pieces in a puddle of ketchup and/or barbecue sauce on a styrofoam plate, put said plate in the breakroom microwave in an attempt to melt the plastic (spoilers: it won't), and then vent the burning styrofoam fumes into the bakery because "it will smell exactly the same in there anyway."

Unless you have something else lined up already; in that case, you do you.

This is the kinda stuff you find in the taglines and wonder what the context was.

I got bored very, very easily as a teenager.

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

I still refuse to believe it is a real story

If only you had been my manager all those years ago.

Were they... Trying to intimidate the fruit flies?

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

They were positioned near the coconuts, lemons, and avocados, so I suspect that they were preparing to seize various oil reserves

New knives you say... What you chopping?

I just like knives

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

I just like knives

if you haven't yet experienced the joy of a caidao i recommend them highly to other knife nerds

so versatile. so comically square.

[-] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

caidao Now this looks fun ... I do love to cook

i picked mine up for like $16 at one of my local asian markets and it rips. prep has never been easier. i don't have a huge collection and i don't own anything fancy but still, i barely even touch my other knives anymore.

it's also a great bench scraper. the ideal grip is a lil weird but youtube has plenty of tutorials if you decide it's for you

[-] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

There's a pretty good Asian market near me. Maybe will. See how I like it vs a chefs knife

Welcome to the supermarket gang, may it not totally obliterate your body and soul.

Joke's on you, working 10 years in the grocery industry already hollowed me out joker-shopping

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

You can put an extra tag on this by working really hard and taking on all the extra shifts in the hopes they notice you and make you manager

deli? or just in case someone needs a talking to.

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

congratulations! that was a fast recovery

[-] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Good luck with the new job.

But this reminds me of that Chapo Episode back in July where some comedy writer was talking about Andy Kaufman becoming a busboy at a diner actually as a bit. And he was just acting normal and pretending not to know them when this comedy writer, Seinfeld, and Larry David ate at the diner.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

Couldn't be me, haha. No, sir.

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

Congrats on the job, Comrade! meow-fiesta
