What misconceptions do people commonly hold about your line of work? by Kooncein AskReddit

[–]TomatoSlayer 0 points1 point ago

Grocery store:

  • Some people think that if fruits are put into a special bag, that the price listed is for the entire bag. Nope, that's still the price per pound.
  • No, seriously, if it's not on the shelf and we say we know we're out of stock, then we're out of stock. We try to have as little products "in the back" as possible.

  • No, reading the fine print is optional. I don't care whether your coupon expired only just today, I can't take it and it's not my fault.

Bowling alley:

  • Fixing the pinsetter doesn't happen instantly. A mechanic has to take a look at it, and s/he may be on the other side of the building working one someone else's problem. Don't make it seem like the CSR's fault that your pinsetter hasn't been fixed in several minutes. They're just the messenger.

  • Apparently, some people think that just because they're in a bowling alley out for some fun, means that they can just leave their trash lying everywhere. Yes, I'm supposed to clean after you, but I'm not your maid.

  • When I'm wearing a uniform with the company's logo on my shirt and carrying a two-way radio, this triggers a thought in many customers' heads that I might not work there, but you ask anyway. Guess what? I do work here!

  • Just because a CSR is at the front desk (we have different colored shirts!) momentarily does not mean you can skip the rest of the line. If you want to buy some games, stay in line, because we can't help you.

Why did I just now hear about this? Just recently a standalone remake of Command & Conquer Renegade called Renegade X was released for free. It looks amazing. by Mustkunstn1kin gaming

[–]TomatoSlayer 0 points1 point ago

You can switch aspects on-the-fly, like in Renegade. (though I think you have to set it up in the options, it's not default for some reason)

The current multiplayer beta requires UT3, however Black Dawn (the singleplayer demo) is standalone.

IWTL What exactly IRC is and how to use it effectively by jordaninternetsin IWantToLearn

[–]TomatoSlayer 2 points3 points ago

Here's a guide for mIRC: http://www.bluehellproductions.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20956

You can just ignore those servers and choose your own that you're interested in. Like others have mentioned, you could connect to freenode (list of their servers available here). It doesn't really matter which server you choose for a network, all the servers are linked up to distribute the activity.

The best $7.50 I have ever spent...What's the best money you have ever spent? by honorhealnurturein AskReddit

[–]TomatoSlayer 0 points1 point ago

My ears were once pretty badly impacted with earwax, and for $20, I got it all irrigated out and I could even hear the bill crinkle as I pulled it out of my wallet. Best $20 I've ever spent.

Whats the best "Being pulled over" story do you have, where you ended up just getting a warning? by Happierfacesin AskReddit

[–]TomatoSlayer 0 points1 point ago

I was pulled over because one of my headlights was out... but the officer was trying so hard to peg a drug charge on me:

"Move your foot. ...Oh, I thought that was a roach."

"What's in your ash tray?" "Just some receipts."

"I'm going to let you go with a warning. A ticket would have been $xxx, but since you're a college student, and you don't seem to have drugs, I'm not going to do that to you.

This happened a couple of weeks ago around 3 am.

Have you ever met someone who you're almost positive is a psychopath/sociopath and what "tipped you off"? by Flusteredpenguinin AskReddit

I like how that site is 'denying' my 'request' with JavaScript when I right-click anywhere. My plans have been foiled!

It will be standalone soon, so you won't even need UT3.

Haven't heard that sound in years. There's an unofficial community patch in beta (if you're not aware). More info: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=52&rid=3134
