@TheMightyMollusk Thanks for clarifying.

@Otaku, most people were oblivious. The smart ones did their emergency shopping the day before, so there wasn't much left anyway.

@wonko Only happened a few times and I don't remember the exact details, but yeah.

@TheMightyMollusk Is that really the same thing? I mean, it is if the people were casually shopping and oblivious to the danger to them or the employees of the store, but if they were desperately trying to get needed supplies themselves... or am I just supposed to be smart enough to know you wouldn't have brought it up if it wasn't the former? >_<

Okay, what? I've had to explain why the TV wouldn't work when the power is out to children, but never to an adult in their right mind.

*When I worked at the cable call center, some people wondered why their TV wouldn't work when there was an outage...

We had people still trying to shop while we were being pushed by state police to shut the store down due to flooding. The police finally had to help herd them out.

Or working for an airline and people complaining about not being able to take off in severe weather, and expecting us to know when the bad weather will end. *points at window*

Outages/fire alarms are fun when you work retail and people complain that they can't keep shopping.

Outages occasionally happened at the fulfillment center I used to work at. Never fun.

Apparently the early shift (i.e. those who didn't participate in the walkout) were sitting in the cafeteria, waiting for power to return, while the late shift couldn't even enter the building.

Oh, wow. I thought the news about the website outtage would have been the topper, but that pretty much wins.

Whoopsie.

First the union called for a two-day strike yesterday, and then today the entire city where the Amazon warehouse I work at is located apparently had a power outage.

So,uh. Seems like Amazon's Prime Day really didn't go well this year.

It wasn't just blander and more polite bacon like I was expecting

Canadian bacon.

And the even more important question is: is that ballpit deep enough to conceal a body... what?

THe more important question is if they have a ball pit

How many attendees on average does TFcon get? And how about TFNation?

I stopped reading it.

If talking about it here is all it takes to get you, why hasn't the oreo thread killed you yet?

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. Of your stomach.

Hey man, how you deal with yo problems is yo bidness.

I did no such thing! I am innocent of the pop tart corruption!

You guys made me buy cinnamon roll Pop Tarts today.

@D Immortalis Just fill the bag with air first and pop that? XP Oh, and you won't like that I grew up microwaving them more often than actually toasting.

@MEDdMI Yeah, the even more artificial flavors like S'more are the ones that usually taste good cold. There exceptions... I think it was Sugar Cookie that needed to be toasted...

And.. Amazon is borked.

@Tm_Silverclaw - Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered him and P/CP

Repugnus up

or add peanut butter.

Nuke them enough in the microwave....?

if po tarts dont POP then they become a lie.

I typically just went for the traditional flavours... I think mostly Rasberry or Strawberry. I'll have to pick up a box next time I'm out

@Otaku I've tried that too with a few of them. I liked the soda flavored ones they had. Too bad they were limited.

@D Immortalis Most Pop-Tarts I like are better eaten frozen... and the only reason I started doing that is because Pop-Tarts commercials told me to try them that way. XD

woohoo, just got my tickets to see From Ashes To New and Hollywood Undead on the 26th!

oh wow Jazz has heel spurs.

That's basically what happened to me. I was on that aisle for completely other reasons, caught sight of them in my peripheral, and then... just couldn't stop thinking about them.

Hungry for pop tarts now - haven't had those in years

anyone that doesnt put theit pop tarts in a toaster is a heretic.

Do they still make the cinnamon-brown sugar ones?

Yup. And?

Aren't Pop Tarts like, totally junk for you by the definition of the word?

Four IS standard... but it's been so long I had forgotten.

Bah, wonko, I remember when 4 was STANDARD

Me: opening a box of pop tarts. "Oh my god! There's FOUR in here?!?! Score!"
