Part of the reason lower paying service industry jobs like restaurants, bank tellers, etc. are so insidious is they very often do not offer set schedules. You are basically on call whenever the employer schedules you with one week or two week notice (depending how far in advance they publish schedules) which makes it impossible to take up a secondary part time job to supplement income. Then you have those asshole companies who cut all the employees hours to under 30/week to circumvent ACA contribution requirements while ALSO not having set schedules which squeezes income even more. Either offer set schedules so that they can supplement their income with another job or pay them more for their on-call status.

They pay what the job market allows.

Taking my order, asking me if I want to super size my order, and handing my order does not constitute 15/hr. If they cant hire someone for min wage, or even slightly above it (somewhat defacto min wage in nashville tn area is around 8/hr) then they would increase what they are willing to pay.

Fortunately for most fast food places, walmart, etc, there is an almost never ending supply of unskilled workers to exploit.

 
I know with certain games on PS3 that wouldn't let me download while playing, I could sign out and then the download would start. Don't know if that's possible in this case or not, but it may be worth trying.

Edit:Meant to quote cagchamp.

That's what I do after work. And it's still harder than anything SJD does all year.

Infamous Second Son is on sale for $39.59 but it's showing at $59.99. If you add it to the cart (at least when I did) the sale price shows up. Didn't see this in the Blog Post anywhere.

I'm gonna be participating in this contest too. Who do you guys want me to PM for verification if I am actually the first to finish? Stotch? Vig? CAGChamp? Someone else?

If you don't want to just post that you won, I don't mind verifying it. I'll hate you forever, though.

 
You know if we were using time to completion rather than first person to plat then some jackass would play and plat the game all on the last day.

"I win!"   :twoguns:  :twoguns:  :twoguns:

I don't have a single friend in RL who owns a PS3. Not joking at all. It's crazy. I know one person with a PS4, and none with a Vita. Everybody goes for the Xbox stuff.

I haven't played the game yet but I'm expecting grinding and long load times with the open-world approach with disc, so digital would have been better there. And it would have been $2.50 with GS, which I could resell. Or $5.16 throwing in Undead. So yeah. I went crazy with my ill-gotten Target Ghosts trade-in money, apparently.

Oh well. The trade-in is $4, so if I wait for a +50% promo I'll have gotten in for a couple bucks. Not too bad.

Oh yeah I forget about all you gamesharing freak-deakys in this thread.

I wouldn't be surprised if some company like Mcdonalds has already found a way to automate their restaurants 100%, but won't do it simply because of the bad PR they'd get.

The thing is, by doing something like that it creates jobs for engineers, mechanical repairmen, increases demand for steel or whatever they use to build all their automated machines, etc.

If those fast food workers want new jobs, they are now more motivated to attend a trade school, increasing the total level of education in the country.

This is how society advances and evolves using technology. I wish more people understood that.

That's an excellent point.

But you forget the part where our society has gotten lazier and lazier.

Oh I agree with you 100%. But it would be spun as "McDonald's goes fully automated, eliminates need for hundreds of in store workers." Probably by Fox News or something. And they'd blame it on Obamacare.

 
Why did the PS Blog remove the list of all their sales?  What the fuck?  They don't even have the Rockstar sale listed.

They link to the All Weekly Deals page on the webstore, where the first deal listed is Daylight for $14.99 (full price, not a deal, not removed from previous week) and Second Son for $59.99 crossed out and $59.99 in it's place.

That all weekly deals page on the webstore sucks goat vagina, they need to keep listing all the deals on the PS Blog store update post!  It's the only way to actually get good info.

Thoughts on American McGee's Alice? I've got MR for PC but haven't played the original. Not sure if it's cool to skip straight to MR or if I'll be missing much.

There is nothing you'll miss from the original except for some extremely dated and unenjoyable 3D platforming and combat.

Tyler just Frisky this if you finish first:

"Done."

You guys better watch out. Rumor from FWB is that Tyler always finishes first and then refuses to help anyone else finish.

She says she finished. So I believe her. But yeah, after I finish I'm usually super tired and just want to go to sleep for a bit.

I was wondering this as well. I kept hearing about this Rockstar sale and didn't see it on the blog. And the Second Son thing, I guess you have to add it to your cart to get the sale price to show up. Because that's what everyone is going to do.

 
It doesn't matter what we do everyone will be working in and around the medical field at some point because we will all need some kind of drug to keep us from wanting to ourselves or others. It seems like at least 75% of the population now has some kind of disease they are diagnosed with.

Oh yeah, how is your daughter? Were you able to hide all the bruises and welts you gave her? If not, just say she was going to fast on her bike and lost control.

nope, picked up a drafting table for her from someone on craigslist instead of beating her senseless. my life is weird. she is fine though, thanks for asking.
 
I'm thorugh level 15 only a few perfects though.

I haven't actually even looked at the trophy list yet.  I'll beat the game first then look.

Vig where you at?  Jay's on a better pace than me.  Munky is at 28.  Velo around 25.  Velo said he only has a couple perfects.
