Aye, and its only misinformation if deemed so by the government. I remember alot of Covid vaccine naysayers being accused to spreading misinformation, and as someone who was pro-vaccine, I have to hold my hands up and say I was wrong and that the vaccine doubters were on to something after all. Of course its okay to come out now and say "oh yeah, sorry our vaccines are linked to heart attacks, hypertension and strokes....but we didnt know at the time so anyone saying so then was spreading misinformation".... At least our government didnt go as fascistic as other countries like Canada, where you were pretty much treated like a Jew in Nazi Germany if you didnt get the vaccine. The new thing in Canada if you speak out against the government is "de-banking" where by you are prohibited from having a bank account.
Yeah Canada did go to the extreme and if I understand correctly there was even reports they were going to freeze protestors bank accounts if they didn't step back. For me whether true or not, it's a warning sign for us all to heed, but we haven't done and we are still attached to our phones more than ever, as well as giving up hard cash which enables us to be tracked even more. Sadly for me the future looks like one of complete totalitarian control. The tories when in power were doing everything possible in preventing people from protesting, look at the sentences the climate activists got. Now Labour have gone full on tonto, chasing you from far afield. Trouble is once people wake up and actually realise they need to protest about this, it will be too late, because the right to protest will no longer exist. Actually I'm just teasing.....what's that I can hear a knock at the door... please log in to view this image
Anyway in other news, an Amazon delivery driver has been killed while doing his job, someone nicked his van and now instead of just robbery it will be a murder charge as well. Feel for the driver that was killed more than the people on that yacht, person probably got a shhite wage, working all hours and some opportunist scumbag lowlife goes and does that.
yea they froze accounts of people protesting against covid jabs. Proper totalitarian. Apparantly they have written it into their laws now that they are legally allowed to do this as well. Canadians dumb as hell
Slightly astray from the topic but still related in a way, I was reading an article that said Morrisons have gone as far as they are going to go now with self check-outs, that they have probably gone too far on gauging customer reaction. But the added interesting part is that they blame self check-outs for the rise in shop lifting. Tell you what I did see abroad one time, and it was on manual tills as well, that the customer can't exit the store until they scan the barcode on their receipt, there's a barrier to prevent you from leaving. So if you don't buy anything and want to get out, you have to wait for the security guard to release the barrier.
Its to instil guilt in you for not buying anything. Like "look this **** has had to make a scene to be let out because he is a cheap arse who didnt buy anything" I can guarantee there will be people who wouldnt normally have bought anything, who will now buy a chocolate bar or pack of gum just so they have a receipt and can get out
Popped into a Tesco Express on Fleet St yesterday on the way to station - behind a young guy with a back-pack - they got all those healthy snacks like Graze and stuff just inside the door - he literally just grabbed a few and walked straight back out ... I thought he was going to get a drink from the chillers on the opposite wall, but no - there wasn't a Tesco employee anywhere close - just self-service tills ... almost an invitation to get robbed ...
This is it, they've only got themselves to blame, they've tried to shaft employees with all this serve yourself tech, so now they are losing more products, which is exactly what Morrisons was on about in the article I read. Longtime ago I saw some guy with a knife trying to prise a security tag off a bottle of alcohol, I just ignored him and carried on my way, saw the security guard on the way out, didn't tell him either, aint worth him getting stabbed up for.
Good call - the guy yesterday did it all so smoothly that I doubt it was just opportunism ... suspect he's a regular 'customer' ..
I used to absolutely rinse the self service checkouts back when they first became a thing. Was so easy back then before they even managed the weight stuff properly. Obviously wouldn't do it now but I genuinely don't even class stealing from a large supermarket as immoral tbh. Would sooner do that than beg or rob a person if I was hungry and poor.
alright settle down Sucky Nah I do that sometimes too since they became 30p. I ain't paying that for a bit of plastic you robbing ****s.
The easiest scam is with the reduced stuff- at least in theory - pack of 2 fillet steaks reduced to half-price - some dodgy ****er might get a further 3 not reduced and scan the reduced one 4 times, putting the non-reduced on to the weight thingy the first 3 times - good job I would never do anything so despicable - but some would ... Editors Note - other products are available
Tbh I've become a right tight **** in recent years and I'll refuse to pay for stuff if I don't think it's worth it. For eample the other day I went to get a bus for the first time in years and they wanted £2.30 for a single fare and I was like "£2.30? It's a 25 minute walk FFS are you taking the piss?" and so I walked instead. Not about not affording it it's more that I hate being mugged off. Think it's partly down to a life of addiction where I've literally thrown so much money away over the years which upsets me immensely. It drives my nipper mental though when we have to go to two shops to get him some sweets cos the first ****s wanted £1.79 for a bag of haribo. Think he gets embarrassed when I ask them how they sleep at night
Mate - lived in an off-licence for over 20 years ... we had the biggest sweets selection in the area - knew every trick in the book and caught hundreds ... adaptations for technology developments not really that hard
