My most recent addition is a first pressing of Hemispheres by Rush for a very reasonable price. Rush is my absolute favorite, and I didn't have any vinyl of theirs yet. Just wandered into a shop on a whim and this little guy was just sitting on the shelf behind the counter. I grabbed it just because I like the album, looked it up on discogs and it was pressed in 1978. Feels like holding a piece of history.
I took a picture but Boost really doesn't like to upload images I guess 🙁
That is the translation I've seen, so kudos! It's Marth's default taunt voice line. I got really used to hearing it back in the day, usually interrupted as my cockiness got punished.
Gotta have the audience cheer when you enter too. I would just have a sitcom soundboard ready for the full effect.
I worked a call center briefly and did this with an older lady for about 15 minutes. She was just talking about how she spends her time and what her daughter was up to. I got called into the boss's office because they heard the conversation. I tried to cover my ass saying I was trying to build rapport, but I got told quantity over quality. Make the calls, follow the script, close the sale. So glad I only wasted like 2 months of my life there.
Side note, the main business model itself was a scam. The "sale" wasn't even a real sale. We were feeling out for people with bad credit to send to our "partner" law firm for credit repair. If they signed up with them after the transfer for $100/mo, only then did I get any commission. And it paid commission against minimum wage, so you only ever saw a benefit if your commissions alone surpassed what your minimum wage paycheck would be. Man, every detail I can remember about that place is scummier than the last. Fuck them and everyone like them. I'm ashamed to have counted myself among their number, however briefly.
Man, am I part of a minority that vastly prefers self checkout? I just scan my shit, pay, and leave while everyone else is waiting in line for a person. No awkward small talk, no one in front of me holding up the line with a mountain of coupons or anything, just efficiency. They're honestly not hard to use. Barcode go beep. Carrots under C. Stuff goes in bag.
I've had some finicky ones, but the only reason I would ever choose a person instead is if I have alcohol, and that's not really by choice. Most times, I finish shopping and walk out the door within 2 minutes. I've waited in line for like 15 before. I don't see why it's more popular other than the desire to "be serviced."
I wonder if self-serve gas went through this, too.
