Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yeah no shit I'm not waiting 10 minutes for someone to unlock a cage because there are two people working and one of them is on break.

sounds like a Walgreens that is over budget on staff. just cut down to one employee, then they can't go on break ever. win win.

I went once to pick up condoms and they were behind those glass doors. I pressed the button and it announced loudly that assistance was needed in "Family Planning" and everyone nearby started looking over and despite not being a teenager the embarrassment is never any less. I was just waiting around until someone finally came and they had the wrong key or something and started yelling at someone to bring the key to family planning, only further drawing attention to my anti-volcel ass. It was pretty uncomfortable. Never went back there for that again.

Way more effective than volcel police.

Waiting 10 minutes for a rite aid employee to grab a deodorant for me and I open it to smell it and don’t like the smell but she already walked away. Ok thanks for the free deodorant I guess

Yeah the deodorant getting locked up is so ridiculous, these are $3-4 items and you need to keep them behind plexiglass? Fuck you, I'm shop lifting out of principle now.

Hey but what if we made everybody’s lives worse so we could mildly inconvenience one person who might steal something that won’t impact our margins at all?
