We had someone try to return an obviously very aged lawnmower, without any documentation or proof of purchase. It was so old, the brand was starting to wear off.
Middle aged lady was very irritated that we wouldn't take it back.
My grandma writes all her passwords in a little notebook right by the computer.
Unless I'm missing something that's a very good way to store passwords.
Obviously better than any digital ones, but having them all in plaintext in a single book that could get stolen, destroyed by a coffee spill, eaten by a dog or whatever has its downsides
The risk of someone breaking in and stealing the book is extremely low for most users. If that analog book prevents her from using the same password over and over its a good security feature.
Obviously better than any digital ones
Is there something wrong with password managers?
In theory the should be fine, but you can have things reading from the clipboard or other security breaches
But couldn't you say that about non-digital password storage? Someone could be logging your keystrokes, your passwords could be part of a security breach dump, etc.
Just curious because I've always been told writing down passwords, esp. somewhere easily accessible is an extremely bad security practice and that encrypted password databases, along with complex passwords that are different for every account was the best option. Of course nothing is fool proof, just not sure if I'm missing some major security flaw with programs like Keepass.
Without going full paranoid mode, it's true that a password manager is an additional point of potential failure. I'm pretty sure websites can read your clipboard, for example.
As far as I know you must manually enable that option in browser, though I suppose a malicious extension could do so without your knowledge.
So does mine, and she still can't fucking remember or find them
trying to bargain the price down for every single item
what the fuck
that's basically only a thing at swap meets and car dealerships... how do they go through life not understanding this?
it was honestly pretty funny after a while
"well what if I just buy the one shoe?"
"sir you can't just buy one shoe, you have to buy the pair"
I had a younger rich boomer bring in something that they ordered from a different store entirely get huffy because the store I was with carried the same brand when I wouldn't accept their return. like bitch what part of you need to return this to the place you bought it from don't you understand?
How do these people go through their entire lives and not knowing that you have to return stuff to the seller?
Working retail is hell, :sankara-salute: to all the troops
I once had a guy scream at me because the basic stainless steel stock pot we sold him wouldn't work with his induction cook top. Like bro sorry I didn't anticipate that you have some weird stove and I can't change the laws of physics for you
I guess it depends on the grade of stainless steel, the stuff with more nickel won't work:

Yea Amazon got that poopoo peepee stipend. You have to waive the property rights to your bowels though.
!commrequest@hexbear.net c/retail-food-hell For all the industry venting, for me in childcare, the parents tend to be great except for the rich ones that treat you like a literal servant or the dads that hit on you daily. Bosses are extra shit though "sorry I cant approve your time off, I'm flying to Hawaii to set up my new rental there so I need you here!"
Coulda been trying to run a scam.
Few times I had rando customer just walk up to me while stocking or facing an aisle and be like , "I'm here to return this". The thing in question was not something that was sold in the store.
On another note of fun memories from retail...
I remember some huge biker dude getting irate with me, to the point that I thought he was going to punch me in the head, because he "was absolutely sure" that the store I worked at sold something that nobody who worked in the store had any memory of ever selling. His wife walked up about 20 minutes into this to remind him that, "no, we never got that thing here". Dude just kinda walked off after that.
