Possibly fail thread material. Rude woman, using her phone and being shocked by checkout assistant's attitude.
What a cunt. Checkout girl is in the right. Would this woman have been impressed if checkout girl had been on the phone?
One of my LBSs has a policy - if your mobile rings or you approach the til on the hone you are told to fuck off and not come back.
It is fucking rude to chat on the phone whilst interacting with someone else, even a lowly* checkout operator.
It is also fucking annoying if you are waiting in a long queue to be served to have to wait much longer whilst some fucknut tries to pack their shopping and pay with one hand**.

** if they only have one hand this is understandable and forgiveable.
I never deal with anyone who's on the phone and I instruct my staff to follow suit. I got "mystery shopped" years ago and the person conducting said that I wasn't attentive to them and ignored them during their visit. When we checked the cameras, I had indeed ignored them because they were on the phone.
I still got my bonus.

Fail. Buy the tool and do it yourself...

study published with each state's most popular brand:

Study? Sounds like he just made it all up based on a rather random set of criteria.
I went with the company that I though best represented the state, rather than the biggest or most notorious. Hence, I used Dr Pepper for Texas instead of ExxonMobil. I used Apple for California instead of Google or Facebook.

What a fucking crybaby.

It is the Daily Fail, which happens to have an entire readership consisting of total cunts.

Very surprised Fender never got on there but Peavey did.
Surely Fender is more famous than Zappos, I can see why Gibson would have not made it considering the Motor industry in Michigan.
-
Yeah, gibson has a long history at kalamazoo and is very famous. As I understand it the ex factory workers setup a variety of independent guitar workshops, so there is still loads of guitar based stuff in Kalamazoo which Gibson is responsible for. Including these guys;

BBC just did a story on the 10 o clock news about how sharia law is being enforced in Syria and gave an example where a couple of armed islamist thugs shot dead a 14 year old boy who said something they perceived to be somewhat blasphemous.
BBC are stirring up a dangerous pot, wtf are they playing at? This has nothing to do with Sharia law and only goes to fuel prejudice and the EDL types with their fear of an imaginary risk of Sharia Law. At this time, when there are Islamaphobic attacks are going on here!
The UN claims the death toll since the Syria crisis started is 93'000 and they have long stopped covering stories in TV news, why cover this rogue incident ?
-
Yeah, wtf are they playing at, reporting the news, how fucking idiotic.
How irresponsible of Reuters to report on the Taliban beheading two teenage boys, clearly just a rogue incident like that one, also just like the rogue incident where the Taliban shot 15 year old Malala Yousufzai, the Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating girls' education. All rogue incidents perpetrated by Muslim religious extremists who advocate Sharia law, but you're right, we must be imagining the threat posed by them...
When you say 'this has nothing to do with Sharia law', do you not think the BBC journalist involved might have asked some questions on the ground about why this boy was shot and the context it took place in? Do you not think they might be better qualified to make that call, given they are on the ground in Syria?
-
There's some mutterings about voting for something in Australia to prevent Sharia law being allowed in local constituencies. I'd need to find something about it. Probably just a bit more xenophobic paranoia on the part of the Aussies but if it stops the odd beheading then hey maybe it's something to look into.

it is so rude - I hate when people in shops (usually little newsagents) on the phone just hold their hand out for the money and carry on speaking - I always try and make them speak by asking a question.......
-
Yep, so rude. I wait until I'm driving home from the shop before I take any call.
I'm normally too drunk to press the right buttons, so I just shout out of the window.

Its clearly bogus. I would put their method to question as even the question is dubious. From my quick analysis they are looking at ranking various US corporates home in various states according to their brand market value. Apple continues to lead over Google in most metrics so that is OK for California but Microsoft continues to be higher ranked than Starbucks. Starbucks is ranked in most metrics in the top 100 but a long way down the list from Microsoft. In the Interbrand ranking they are 88th place against Microsoft's 5th place. In BrandZ they are 42nd against 5th for Microsoft. The only place where Starbucks leads over Microsoft is in "Farsebook" .. It, however, puts Disney at the top slot followed by MTV, Nike and Google.. Starbucks holding 7th place.. But using that list we'd have Disney Corp (based in Burbank) in place of Apple (Cupertino) in the chart..

You are clearly mixing cause and effect. Political Islam is a threat and quite a real one. The Algerian civil war resulted in the between 40,000 and 200,000 dead. A similar conflict is now in the cards for Egypt where Salfists are now starting to arm themselves in a confrontation with the Army.. The MB has 25% support and wants an Islamic agenda.. 22 million people in Egypt have signed a petition against Morsi. Of 82 million that is a good 1/4 of the population. Amongst the political Islamic groups the MB are clearly the more "moderate" (their UK incarnation is called the MAB). Their roots, however, are unmistakably in Fascism. Hassan al Banna, the founder of the MB and Hitler Fanboy, mixed National Socialism with Islamic Revivalism to create the Brotherhood. The MB is deeply rooted in both Nazi ideology and method and their threat should never be discounted. Like a spider's web they really do seek...

Lol, NHS Direct pulls out of contracts before they even answer any 111 calls, as it was "financially unsustainable". Will be interesting to see if this finally convinces the tories that privitisation wont fix everything ...
Utter tool of a minister on Today programme this morning being pressed on what benefits had come from this bombsite of a policy just kept repeating, 'Well, people like the fact that 111 is an easy number to remember'.
-
A guy that I work with on the occasional project took a job as a senior manager at the 111 service. He lasted a week before leaving to seek employment elsewhere. When asked about how bad it was working there he tends to adopt the foetal position and rock backwards and forwards in a comforting manner.

You are also just as likely to have a checkout accident if using your phone as you are if drunk packing.
