I'm sure it's a very deep read.
Cat in the Hat is a deep read to them
I've really never been able to conclude what the "hat" represents.
Obviously the cat represents oligarchical banking powers, but the hat I can't put my finger on.
The hat would be it's attempt to blend in with the people whose society the banking powers have implanted themselves in.
The mom is Fascism
I clicked through at 45 second intervals listening for under once second each time.
It sounded like torture.
You could legit psychology damage someone with this song is what it sounded like.
In short order.
It's a comedy song from the 1970s by Cheech and Chong.
I was too frightened to listen for long enough to notice, but I was wondering what the C&C background was.
That movie was too stupid for me and I like Beavis and Butthead.
Why are books segregated by the color of the author in america ?
Racism is a big part of american culture, believe it or not, since before their founding actually.
to fight segregation
No, but it was always a laid back fantasy of mine to get a job in one such place.
I have trouble holding down regular jobs.
I do the work flawlessly, but I don't get along with people anywhere. I feel like no one appreciates the minor improvements in efficiency I always make, and everyone focuses on my lack of charm as a human being.
I imagine a bookstore as a place of freedom, both for the customer and the worker, where a soothing quiet is preferred to the forced background noise so many other establishments have.
To elaborate on the freedom part, I could just slowly read a book while waiting for someone to come and buy the things they picked out, but I could also enthusiastically welcome them and engage in light conversation while helping them find what they want.
There are no expectations, no consistent metric of performance, no quotas, and most importantly, no human egos that radiate evil if they feel threatened.
Yes, for years.
Unfortunately, the realities of working at a bookstore are way less romantic than you imagine, anon. Still, the best of all the retail jobs I've had.
>minor achievements in efficiency
Unless you are the owner or manager, you are fricking up their operation.
It needs okayed or it's a BOLD assumption that you are in line with their overall vision.
t. owner of business and 15 employees
We do it how I do it because it's my place and how I want it done is actually the entire point.
Every job I've worked at had spaces for improvement because decades old status quo was enforced everywhere.
I didn't "frick up" anything, you're just looking for a place to vent about your personal life, so buzz off.
No. I take suggestions ALL THE TIME from employees. But they run it by me first and I okay it or I shut it down based on more information than they are privy to.
You were just doing things rogue and you think it doesn't matter.
You are ignorant of what the goals are and assume them.
I am approached and I say "yes, thanks, please do that" 9/10 times.
But you have to ask so the person that knows what the big picture is can see if it actually fits the big picture.
I was working on critical infrastructure, not as a fricking paper pusher in some homosexual's startup.
Most workers knew more than the "bosses" did.
Take a hike.
See. I called you out exactly as you were doing.
>critical infrastructure
Yea, that's what we want. moronic homosexuals making "improvements" on critical infrastructure without running it by someone.
kek
I run 3 million through an ecommerce pick and pack. I have to have a very wide skill set and I have to do them all well.
Nope, no one ever took issue with my work.
You've been a projecting homosexual from start to finish, just like I called you out in my first post.
>I have trouble holding down regular jobs.
>but I don't get along with people anywhere.
>I feel like no one appreciates the minor improvements in efficiency I always make
Not appreciating my improvements does not equal being critical of my improvements, it's just that no one really cared about it.
I don't get along with people on a personal level, but I've always done a fantastic job, just like you've always been a gigantic homosexual.
>guys I moved the trash bin to the left side of the counter so we can step around it a little quicker
>guys?
>FRICK YOU ALL I QUIT
>YOU NEVER APPRECIATE ME
this entire reply chain is just a mentally ill homosexual angry at the people he employs, projecting his personal issues on someone he knows nothing about
amazing
you were wrong about me being unprofessional at my job so now it's all about personal attacks and devaluing my efforts (which you still know nothing about)
absolute scum, just like you'd expect from the average capitalist
>projecting his personal issues on someone he knows nothing about
>mentally ill homosexual angry at the people he employs
>capitalist
Start your own business, why do you exist solely to make a capitalist's enterprise more efficient while getting a wage from them?
I don't dream of being a slave driver that gets rich from other people's efforts.
I aspire to be a full time freelancer one day, which is much more respectable than unfairly hoarding most of the profits from a company while paying workers whatever passes for a wage these days.
>every business owner is a slave driver
his personal issues on someone he knows nothing about
wealth distribution is unfair in almost 100% of the economy
that's what happens when you let someone decide how much to keep with no oversight, they'll always opt for keeping as much as they can, while paying workers exactly as much as they can get away with
yeah you could make the argument that he's an exception
but I doubt such a rare gem of a boss comes on IQfy to rant about employees
>that's what happens when you let someone decide how much to keep with no oversight
There's a minimum wage, and I've never seen anybody in my state actually pay that little.
If you think every single boss is automatically a slave driver then of course you're going to doubt a 'gem' will be on IQfy, you probably don't think they exist at all. And when you're freelancing I bet you're going to take more than the bare minimum you need to survive as payment, correct?
Americans have it better than others because their country bombs anyone that threatens the petro-dollar, your country exists at the expense of others, so it cannot be used as a reference point.
And yet, even in the US, the amount of profit from almost any enterprise that ends up in the hands of workers is obscenely small.
Every statistic on wealth distribution in the US makes that exact point.
You might not consider that slave-driving, but I do.
>
Yes and I'm sure you'd hate me if I pointed out the cause of that poor wealth distribution beyond "the rich". However you avoided my question about your future freelancing career exactly because it backed my point up
>well no of course I won't charge the absolute bare minimum price for my work
>but also that extra profit I extract from my customer is totally righteous profit and not the bad evil profit
That anon who has a business with employees has the risks that go along with it. His employees get the less risk option of going in to work, making a wage, and leaving. This is a symbiosis, not everyone wants to run a business and not everyone can think of a business they'd like to run. The fact that you don't like the wage the workers agreed to exchange their time for does not mean the person enabling them to earn the wage is evil for taking the difference. Do you get mad at convenience store owners who charge as much for a small soda as a grocery store charges for a larger one?
I have no grievances about people negotiating the value of their work.
Naturally I wouldn't sell my time for rock-bottom prices, and it is my sole responsibility to pick what I sell it for, just like the clients can go for someone else if they don't like it.
But you completely fail to understand how that is not at all the same as owning a business.
When you have other people depending on you, and when you are their sole source of income, and all their professional effort and time is for your personal gain, you owe it to them to treat them with the same respect you treat yourself with. This is where the problem comes from, most business owners are total sociopaths that would skim any expense they could, when it comes to paying workers, respecting standards, safety regulations, hell, I hear planned obsolescence is a real hit these days, so you can add respecting customers to that list.
The point you so pathetically made about risk has been obsolete for decades.
Everyone can see how the powerful people are protected with government bailouts, which they need because they splooged their profits on god knows what instead of running their companies responsibly, indeed, many of these "risk takers" as you call them, splooge the bailouts as well, because they can, because they're protected.
Most big shot CEOs have run multiple companies into the ground after buying them for short term profit, when does the risk and responsibility kick in, hm?
It doesn't.
Ironically, having political connections protects rich people with the money taken from the lower classes with taxes.
Not only do rich people never go down because of the "risks" they take, but they're also completely immune to justice as well.
Why, just in mine and the few neighbouring countries around it, I could count dozens of rich c**ts that got away with all sorts of murders/embezzlement schemes/political corruption etc etc.
Truly, all the risk is on their shoulders.
Or how about the time we entered a recession for the Nth time, and all the most powerful people had record profits, such risk!
>When you have other people depending on you, and when you are their sole source of income, and all their professional effort and time is for your personal gain, you owe it to them to treat them with the same respect you treat yourself with.
They are adults who chose to spend their time at this employer.
Thank you for confirming everything I said, c**t.
I'm confirming you're an authoritarian who demands the right to babysit everyone while overcharging for your future freelancer work like a hypocrite
>treating people with the same respect as you treat yourself with is babysitting you evil authoritarian
ouch, tone it down Satan.
>treating people with the same respect as you treat yourself with
>at gunpoint
>is babysitting you evil authoritarian
Correct
least schizo capitalist psychopath
You want to demand that employers follow your demands at the point of a government gun, and you're not even willing to take a cut on your own freelance work. Top Commie
Demands?
I told you what is the right thing to do, I'm sure you and your legion of evil c**ts will never let such a thing happen.
I did not mean that such a thing should be enforced with a gun, but rather willingly by an enlightened mind that sees owning a business as more than an opportunistic transaction.
I have no doubt that treating people fairly is an offensive concept to selfish people like (you).
also
>how dare you not work for minimum wage you damn freelancer! fall in line with the slave society we designed for you!
nice point, tardo
I really wonder how strange it must be to think everyone who operates a small business is an evil scrooge mcduck hoarding millions and cavorting with Rothschilds
only an evil person would disagree with the greentext in the picture, so it's not so much that I'm "thinking this to be the case" as it is "people constantly showing me that it is the case".
And so far the one employer in this thread has shown better care to his employees than you imagine ever possible
I acknowledged that exceptions exist hours ago.
You're not doing anything to prove me wrong.
It is still correct to state that most business owners are evil.
And every statistic on wealth distribution confirms it.
Furthermore, anyone living in any society has witnessed how the rich interact with the law and the government, so the evidence is damning to anyone that doesn't cover their personal views with twisted lies.
>5 pizza places in my town
>all but one privately owned
I can attest they are evil profiteers. Could there be a downside to grouping them in with dominos with flippant language?
I'm having a real esl moment right now,
what point are you even trying to make here?
I'm asking if your attitude towards business owners in general is productive or if you should use more exacting language.
I looked up the definition of exacting and your post makes no sense.
To address what I do understand, no, my attitude towards business owners is not productive, why would it be? I consider these matters unfixable and permanent, so I will not sugar coat my language to be more appealing.
If you look way down the definition list you will get to "strict".
Loose language allows for interpretation.
You sound like a dandy.
>most business owners are total sociopaths
citation needed that isn't just a commie seething while at the same time voluntarily working for a "sociopath."

also, you don't need to be a complete psycho to act like one, for example, many of these so called leaders are just selfish enough to not feel guilty about fricking others over, like
They just rationalize it, but the effect is the same.

>nooo this can't apply to employees choosing where to work because they'll instantly starve
>corporate leadership
Read above here:
Corporations are a creation of the state and remove all liability from leadership. ONLY a sociopath would seek those positions.
You are confounding things and it's making you despise people that are just getting by like you in most cases.
NTA, but isn’t corporatization the end-goal of any capitalist? Socialized losses and private gains, communism of the bourgeoisie. How can anyone fight against this if capitalism inevitably follows this path? If you banned corporations, someone would get rich enough to lobby the government to allow it again.
I’m not opposed to small businesses—I think it’s actually the ideal state. Become a cobbler, run a business, teach your sons the family trade, no need to send them off to some miserable city to find themselves and start a “career.” But how do you protect that way of life? Some overambitious freak will eventually use labor overseas to run every other cobbler out of business, and now you have to choose from one of Nike’s 20 subbrands
>capitalist
You have no clue what that word means and you have adopted a fully propagandized version of it
Before commies changed the definition, and this is in any older dictionary you'll find, it simply means "one with capital."
THIS IS THE HUMAN CONDITION.
Your body is your property and capital. Everyone starts life with it.
Robinson Crusoe is about a guy doing capitalism on an island by himself.
There is NO OTHER MEANS to develop and produce wealth but to use and leverage capital of some kind.
What you are confusing is free market, or laissez fair capitalism and state capitalism.
Communists are still doing "capitalism". It's just they've centralized the operation.
This is why you need a state to create a CORPoration. You need some way to remove liability where it obviously exists.
Corporate activities are state endeavors.
When you say "capitalism" you are missing that this is basically meaningless. It's how all humans behave.
If you disagree, please inform me of a different manner in which wealth can be created other than using existing resources (capital) to create more than you started with.
They have mind fricked everyone and made it impossible to think clearly on the subject.
You're not fooling anyone, honestly.
You can rummage through books and definitions for years if you want, what you have come up with is the capitalist equivalent of "that wasn't real communism!".
Considering the fact that a corporatist dystopia has held the power in the US for almost a century, I don't think you'll have much luck convincing people that it isn't the endgame of any capitalist society.
Even in younger capitalist ideology infested places, like South Korea, rich people have banded together to perform great oppression on the majority of workers, to the point of creating the word that means "to die of too much work" - gwarosa.
No idea why you defend any -ism really, but your obsession with "muh commies" might give a clue.
>using capitalist like a moron still
Explain another way to produce wealth besides using existing resources (capital).
Communists do it somehow differently? Explain it please.
You are showing a bold ignorance of how people are controlled. It's through language and thought processes.
Your insistence of using "capitalist" to stand for anything you don't like causes you to miss the fact that every communist country that ever existed HAS USED THIS MECHANISM.
They've just created a monopoly of it's use.
And yes, humans tend towards concentration of resources and totalitarianism.
But calling it "capitalism" misses the reason why entirely and presupposes another manner of action.
EXPLAIN THAT OTHER MANNER OF ACTION OR STFU.
I will wait.
lol okay, nevermind—you're a condescending moron. First you assume that I was using the wrong definition of "capitalist," and then you have to twist the definition of "capital" to include the human body itself.
If anyone else wants to answer my question I'm open to it. What stops the wealthiest capitalists, even in a total free market, from forming a state and creating corporations if it's in their best interests?
Try doing something without your body and then tell me it's not capital.
Why do you think corporations have HUMAN RESOURCE departments but small companies don't.
PROTIP. It's because to a corporatist you are no different than a shovel or any other resource.
The irony is that commies very well understand the body is capital. But then project that onto others.
Do you want your body to be your own capital? Or do you want it to be someone else's?
Nothing, the rich will always band together into a selfish club.
Corporatism is the end game of Capitalism, always was.
This guy gets it, ALMOST.
It's the end game of humanity. There is nothing but "capitalism."
Calling it capitalism is a cop out used to remove blame from corporatists.
Corporatists do as you say. But EVERYONE is a capitalist.
Which ironically does make capitalists to blame, but not in the way most people mean it when they say it.
Then how do you stop corporations from forming?
You limit the state's ability to create them.
Unlikely to happen because rich and powerful gravitate towards using the state as a lever of power.
The state adds legitimacy to obviously illegitimate actions.
Really you would need an educated populace that was weary of the state.
So...yea.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but I wouldn't even say it's selfishness or a moral defect. Everyone does what's beneficial to them. I just think it's completely cucked when proles convince themselves not to act in the same way—unionization, dictatorship of the proletariat, whatever they pick, do something other than carrying water for the people who will step on you and crush you without even thinking about it.
Ah, unions.
Aggressively infiltrated by governments controlled by corporate lobbies and slowly eroded for decades until they start actively working against the workers.
In the end, even that doesn't work.
There is no shield that you can pick up to protect you from the system we live in.
The only solution is to heighten the consciousness of the workers, to make them realize their rights and why they are owed more.
Which is exactly why most of the developed world has bad education systems on purpose.
The good/more honest schools are reserved for those that can afford it.
both arrived at the same conclusion, hah!
"an educated populace weary of the state"
yep, the struggle against selfish greedy pricks never ends, it must be constant, and the people vigilant
Funny enough, to me anyway as I frequent /misc/...is that Kalergi actually wrote a book on this called "The Totalitarian State vs. Man".
Good book on the overall.
But to sum up, using his language, a liberal (free) society requires a population of "educated gentlemen."
So yea, we're fugged.
Can I suggest that if we go back to restricting the ability to vote then we don't need as many people to be educated and gentlemanly?
Por que no los dos?
Restrict it how? You want to go back to letting only land-owning male citizens with military service vote? You know it will never happen because the legislature is bought and paid for and not by the white, male gentry, which by now barely exists at all.
I think what MIGHT be palatable to start is that only net tax contributors vote.
The vast majority of welfare bums don't vote anyway, but their ballots are used in rigging.
So it would have some effect without as much resistance.
It would of course be racist though.
>Not only do rich people never go down because of the "risks" they take, but they're also completely immune to justice as well.
This is where commies get you confused.
You are describing a CORPORATE CEO. Corporations are quite literally communist endeavors, creations of the state, with HUMAN RESOURCE departments.
But a private small business person enjoys none of those benefits. They go bankrupt all the time, more often than not in reality. They are sued and lose personally when they lose.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
This is also why corporations dominate so much. They get you to attack regular powerless people for them by confounding communist corporations with no liability with small businessmen who are liable for literally everything.
Nice conspiracy theory. I based my post on accepted facts, not feelings.
Most corporations are private entities, the owners do whatever they want and they don't answer to anyone as long as they don't break the law (sometimes they don't even when they do break the law).
Also, let us not pretend that most small business owners wouldn't jump at the opportunity to be protected by a corrupt government as they grow their profits sky high.
I can't believe that you 'people' are so deluded, that you look at corporatism, the child of capitalism, and call it commie-whatever.
What a fricking cope, lol.
You might be confusing people.
I'm the guy now that initially called you out.
I love my employees, never yell, and buy lunch for them all very often to show my appreciation.
I just ordered them all tumblers as a gift and have literally ZERO times denied a time off request or done anything you imagine.
I simply informed you of the reason people don't appreciate your changes.
>I simply informed you of the reason people don't appreciate your changes.
Nope, you assumed a great deal of things, which I rightfully called you out on immediately.
People didn't appreciate my changes to my workflow because they didn't appreciate me as a person, but they knew it was good, which is why they didn't complain about said changes, ever.
You sound like a wimp who thought your contributions were far above what they were.
Want to feel unappreciated from time to time? Be the onwer/boss.
lmao you're really trying to have a go at this from every angle at once, huh?
I guess that's what I get for interacting with someone like you, your ego is too big to accept that you were wrong about something or someone, so you just spam and spam and change goalposts until you get to feel like you weren't completely wrong in your initial reply
damn c**t, like I said, take a hike
ALSO, good owners get praises from their workers, because it's rare as frick for someone to respect the people and not treat them as interchangeable pieces of a machine.
kek
The entire convo started with you claiming people took issue with your work. Paraphrase of course, but that was literally the start of this convo.
"I do the work flawlessly, but I don't get along with people anywhere."
ok moron
any more people interested in projecting and/or venting about their personal lives using my posts?
I remember hearing that something like 90% of books that are published these days sell less than 100 copies total. Industry is in a shambles, but they deserve it with the type of politics they push in their editorial practices.
>90% of books that are published these days sell less than 100 copies total.
Industry uses all the flavor of the month stuff to subsidize the rest, this is nothing new and without doing this a great deal of worthwhile literature would probably have never been published, all those authors who took a decade or two or more to find success would have never found success. Publishers take a long term view on most books and are not concerned if they sell poorly at first, the book is in their catalog and they have a decade or so to make a profit on it before their publishing rights run out.
>I remember hearing that something like 90% of books that are published these days sell less than 100 copies total.
I'm sure that's not true but I'd be curious what the actual number is. It's probably still pretty darn low.
I can't even imagine going to a NEW bookstore. Used bookstores are always comfy with interesting books.
Any store selling new books is always some cookie cutter homosexual filled place with nothing of interest at all in it.
The last one I went in was about nine years ago in STL and there was a hairy man wearing a dress attempting to be a woman selling 100% moronic bullshit.
I'm the same way, particularly regarding fiction, almost everything published in the last 20 years (probably longer) is unmitigated trash. There's some recent non-fiction that's pretty good, but the vast majority of good books can be found in a used book store, not the modern corporate hell holes of new book stores.
>almost everything published in the last 20 years (probably longer) is unmitigated trash
yeah because they won't print anything which doesn't help further the aims of the cult
There's an used bokstore I gi to, it is in alley, it is about the size of a bathroom, there tons of books, a shitton of pulp romance books from like the 50's and a giant box of porn dvds
It is really an experience buying a book while an old man next to you picks 3 anal porn dvds for 10 bucks
The best thing about is that the shop is so small is basically run on donations from the people who know it, so the prices are extremely cheap. Like I bought a copy of a Storm of Swords for 3$, and 50 manga volums for 30$
I run a used bookstore that is a lot bigger than this, but it's a side "business" that doesn't make much money. Really a community project and effort. People bring in books of all types, just drop them off.
I sell $3 paperback and $5 hardback no matter how big, nice, or shitty and small it is. Keeps it simple and cheap. People love it.
Lol anecdotal statistic
Not even remotely true. The only books selling sub 100 copies are self/indie published. No reputable publishing company would ever let a book that would flop so hard past the submissions desk.
Okay, I embellished a little, but the first result on google reports that two thirds of top ten publishers' books sell less than a thousand copies. You are wrong, top publishers print a ton of garbage, probably as tax write offs.
>is that..... a Pareto distribution????? AHHHHHH HELP ME Black personMAN IM GOING INSAAAANNNNEEEE
No one here has ever worked.
I actually went to a bookstore to ask for a job but they didn't have any openings. Would've been my first job.
My first ever job interview was for Barnes and Nobel's. My cousin worked there, knew I was a book worm, told me that he could get me an interview. I expected him to be normal and have me fill out an application or tell me when the interview was coming up. Nope, one quiet and extremely hot summer day in July he calls the house out of the blue. Tells me the interview is in two hours. I rush to shower. I had neglected my hair for the summer so I looked like a mad man, had no interview clothes because I was a teenager, so I threw on my best polo shirt and some baggy khakis, and rushed through downtown in hot ass July. I was not happy, did my best on the interview, knew I blew it anyway, did not get the job. 20 years later and I still fantasize about working in a book store or owning my own shop, but I managed to work enough retail and customer facing jobs through the years to know that my fantasy about a cute, quiet, magical book shop with sophisticated and sane customers absolutely does not exist.
I sometimes get the urge to work in a bookstore but then I remember it's no different from any other retail job. Shit hours, shit pay, shit customers.
Having worked at one for a couple of years, I'd say it actually is notably better than most retail jobs simply because the customers are mostly people who actually read books, which rules out most of the worst people you deal with at other jobs. No hordes of hollering subhumans in the bookstore.
I go to my local used literary fiction bookstore, because I live in Brooklyn. It's amusing seeing the clerks at the store. They definitely are trying their best to lean into the larp of working such a quaint job, but you just know that there is no way they make about $20/hour and experience monotony and boredom for most of the day. I guess it's ok? I mean, small price to pay to be able to say "yeah, I put in hours at a local community bookstore, not into the rat race type of stuff" to girls in Bushwick and hope it's your turn for their weekly blowjob with a stranger.
I picture Frasier and Niles behind a counter.
Yep, through my youth. A Used mom & pop; best job I ever had.
Read Orwell's essay about working in a bookshop to dispell the romanticism.
I've never worked in one, but I was friends with a guy who did. He said it was very boring. Long hours doing nothing. And you get the same nonsense as in other workplaces with low barriers of entry - egotistical managers etc.
I guess it's good for meeting other people interested in literature though.
>Long hours doing nothing
>implying that that is a bad thing
Ever tried it?
i worked at a museum in a small town for 3 consecutive summers as an adolescent. i did very little for several hours a day, on account of the museum's underwhelming traffic. it was far better than any other working experience i've had
Checked. But why do nothing?
Wouldn't one READ in their downtime at a bookstore? That's the only reason I can even imagine wanting to work at one.
I do t think there is as much down time as some believe. There will always be a list of things to do
When I go to used bookstores the employees are almost always just sitting around.
I’ve worked for a big retail chain and for an independent used store. It’s fun but it’s a lot of work and if your store is actually any good then you’re probably not sitting on your ass reading all day
That's cause one of the chief ways retail businesses save on overhead expenses is to under-hire, so every employee is doing the work of at least 2 employees. They say you're "part time" but then you work 60 hour weeks.
I did, was kicked out after two weeks for being slow and autistic, and moronic 🙁
Yeah, a long time ago. It was good although I left for something else I thought would be better and wasn't. I probably would have been in a better life position now had I stayed, assuming I could have grown into some kind of management position and learned to handle myself in a workplace full of women (not that I did poorly, but some of them would occasionally be fairly irritating). There were always cute and beautiful young women around, coworkers and customers.
>workplace full of women (not that I did poorly, but some of them would occasionally be fairly irritating)
yes they are. I love books and I would most definitely love working at a book store,but working with women? no thank you. They are cancer
I'm a relatively normie guy and the store I worked at was wall-to-wall cute 16-25ish girls who were all so bookish that I seemed like a jock chad to them. Absolutely cleaned house. Highly recommend working at a bookstore if you're a young guy with decent game.
Working in a book store can't be that bad tbh, I was with some friends at store and I was explaining books to them a little zoomer asked me where is the manga section and I said I didn't work there
I currently work in a bookstore and I hate tidying up books.
For a couple of years when I was in school. Funniest thing was finding out that lonely women have romance novel pull-lists exactly like the ones comic book stores use. Some of these gals are coming in weekly for like 8 Harlequins lmao
I drive out to this small antique book store in Pennsylvania farm country sometimes. It seems like a nice place to work, but I can’t imagine it pays very much, certainly not enough to one day take over the store even if you’re the only employee.
Being an employee is a scam honestly.
Love how 90% of these replies are two anons arguing with each other over literal nonsense, like any of it matters. You're not going to change each other's minds, just stop replying.
I keep replying because I don't like it when people ignore my replies, so I do to others what I expect to be done to myself.
Keep in mind that I told this clown to "buzz off" and "take a hike" in the first two replies, because it was obvious that he was venting about his own life while pretending to reply to my posts.
To the start your own business anons: you do realize that there are downsides, right? Like having to deal with every facet
Of course, but the alternative is to be an exploited slave and also possibly inhumanized as a faceless systematized automaton without a craft or skill that advances himself by repeating the corporate slogans and transforming themselves into a social sciences experiment. Sounds pretty horrible if you ask me. Given the choice between exploiter and exploited, one is obviously preferable.
The choice is imposed on you by evil people.
Instead of playing by their rules you could fight them.
Then again, you'd never win, so as the realist I assume you are, your decision is sound, if cucked.
I got fired after this
>copies of pedo flying off the shelf
>no one reads infinite jest
Sounds right for 4ch.
Which of these books are respected works (not "meme tomes")?
you got fired for reposting a photoshop with tiny copies of infinite jest?

ITT: people say a lot about.... the society
crazy what happens when the ancient nepotistic, tribalistic, parasitic group of people who have been historically known as sucking up the wealth of nations becomes 30% of the White House and 100% of the worship of the uniparty
I can imagine getting yet another ban for derailing/off topic posting even though my first post was about working in a fricking book store, ffs.
At least attack everyone equally this time, janny, unlike the glowBlack folk on /k/, yeah?
This thread was making me wish that I worked in a bookstore, but now it's made me glad that I don't work at all. Thanks!
