They put in an 'action code' (theres quite a few different ones, one for change, one for reciept paper, one for bathroom breaks ect ) and they just type in how much of what denomination they need. Coins, bills, whatever.
Our palm pilot thing beeps and says "This guy over here needs ______"
Its really nifty, but a 'round of change' means they need a roll of every goddamn coin. Quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies. ...which 99% of the time they don't.
They're just getting low on dimes, but are too fucking lazy to press a couple extra buttons to order 'just' them.

I work alongside a couple lazy pieces of shit like that. They just like being able to stand around and tell people where to go. I'm usually the one who has to run around and actually 'work'.

>Did I refute the media claim?

>Who the fuck else would be running it?

Actually yes, you did.

>Thats an industry they control
>They don't control all of them
Why do you keep contradicting yourself?

Thats a large part of the problem right there.
'Murrica has turned into a culture of excess. Instead of just eating till you're not hungry any more, we're raised to 'eat till you're full'.
Extra large portions of everything, covered in grease and salts and other preservatives.
Especially preservatives.
A good portion of the nation was alive during, or around the great depression, and they've carried over this phobia of food going bad. So now everythings gotta have a shelf life of 100 years.

I think the part thats even more retarded is that shitty looking dishes with the tiny portions in the pic there go for $100 and more in the 'high end' restaurants.

>paying hundreds of dollars for something you're gonna shit out in a few hours anyway
I can at least comprehend prices for wines. Some of that shit is over a hundred years old. I can understand how that would be pricey.
But no meat on this fucking planet is worth hundreds of dollars per plate.

Indiana here.
My local walmart was completely out of bread, ground beef, and frozen pizzas.
All that was left in the dairy was cage free eggs, and almond and soy milk
(Even during a snow 'emergency' it seems like people still don't buy into that bullshit. Lel. )

Everyone was stocking up like it was going to be a month long blizzard. (we're only getting like 5-6 inches at most)
God forbid they should go for an hour without having their mouth full of food.

Also lol at all of the police cars i've heard on the road outside all day.
We get just a little fucking powder on the ground and everyone forgets how to drive.
>I CAN'T CONTROL MY CAR, I BETTER GO FASTER.

Leave it to americans to find a way to turn bread into a dessert

There'd be more lines open if we could find employees who'd pass a fucking drug test, plus if management would unclench thier asscheeks and give more hours to the employees who'd like them instead of catering to the people who whine about working on weekends.

>18 - 20%
I love how it keeps slowly creeping up and up in society
In a decade or so it'll be 50% and people will STILL be bitching about not having enough to make ends meet

Its almost like people want to... *gasp* talk about food here!

Imagine that.

God forbid a board called 'Food & Cooking' should actually talk about food, right?

Fuck yourself.
Also, sage.

2nd row, far right..
Are those goddamn hot dogs on that pizza?
what the fuck Japan

Because i'm not a beta manlet who keeps his mouth shut when they're making my food.

You can tell them to put more on there.
They'll stare at you at first, but eventually they'll cave in and give you what you want.

Or you could just.. pour them into a bowl..

Its old-fashioned tradition carried over from the hillbilly days of america.
Back then, one of those was all families had for cooking. It was dependable and trustworthy.
Old habits die hard.
People who still use them are usually the types who think black cats are bad luck, voting actually does anything, and that women should be anywhere other than the kitchen raising their children.

Theres nothing wrong with non stick pans. People are just retarded and fucking backwards when it comes to things.

Then get a goddamn mesh strainer and strain the water out.

..unless your allergic to metal or plastic, in which case you should just fucking hang yourself and stop polluting my goddamn gene pool.

>>4731309
Sadly, all they'd need to do in America is say
>You need to pay for rainwater, or there will be terrorists! ..and your children are in danger! rainwater caused 9/11!!
..and suddenly you have millions of people paying you for a natural resource.

>i've had to develop a taste for it
Another name for that is Stolkholm Syndrome
just sayin

If it was worth drinking in the first place, you wouldn't have to keep drinking it till it tastes good

>>4633086
>mfw I hear someone actually complain about all the money they make, and how it moves them into a 'higher tax bracket'
Oh you poor thing. Tell me more about how hard your life is.

>Running the grocery self checks at work
>Hear that familiar voice

>Please place your items in the bagging area
>Please place your items in the bagging area
>Please place your items in the bagging area

>Customer is standing there holding a box of mac n cheese in one hand and a can of something else in the other
>They glare at me
>"THIS IS WHY I HATE THESE THINGS!!! I SHOULD SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE"
>Force a smile and gently take the box from their hand
>place it in the bagging area like the fucking video is trying to show them
>lo and behold the machine is working again

>my face all day when people can't follow fucking directions on the screen

The generic ones tasted just as good, fatties.
The difference is all in your head.
You're just brainwashed and brand-dependent like people who still use Macs for whatever reason.

>wants 'good' chili recipe
>doesn't care about beans
Enjoy your coney sauce thread.

Looks like it'd be easier just to suck on a bunch of rocks and ore nuggets.
It makes me question who comes up with this shit in the first place.

My grandpa had nothing but whiskey and eggs for breakfast every day, and he lived till he was 98.
Died peacefully in his sleep. Never stepped foot in a hospital in his fucking life.
Thats enough proof for me that the whole food pyramid thing is just a bunch of bullshit to begin with.

>>4449134
>posting food pictures and discussing food
Whats the problem?
Mad because we're not talking about ramen or your precious vegan feelings?
Fuck off asshole.

>mfw people at my work keep buying SEVERAL 30-packs of Aquafina per week like its made out of gold or something
I sigh a little every time.
Unless you're going camping out in the desert, theres really no point.
....but I suppose retarded people buying shit they don't need is what keeps the world going 'round.
