    Caught a CT ad before the game last night. It had a completely unrealistic number of employees in a store. That’s how I knew it was false advertising.

        There’s always more than one but the others are busy chasing clients to put them into debt without their knowledge.

        That’s how I got one of their outrageously high interest MasterCard. They approach clients in the aisle, ask if they would like to save on their purchases, then ask a few personal questions, and and tell you that you’re approved!

        The moment you realize they are making a credit card request on your behalf, it’s already too late. They told me I could just cancel the card afterwards.

        I really despise how they are trying very hard to put their clients into debt.

      Lmfao they have less than one employee per department, there generally aren’t more than 6 employees, including management, in their massive store.

        Nah them prics is there. They just gotten so good at hiding in plain sight that you never see them. It’s actually quite the feat to stock the shelves and not be seen at the same time. Plus you got the credit card hounds chasing you around the store. So it goes two ways. Is that an employee or is that the weeping mastercard angel? Better stay away. Or if you make eye contact with them, you moving too damn fast trough the isles to ask for help if you even do see someone.

        Now home hardware, on the other hand, is like playing minesweeper where every damn tile is a mine. You can’t walk a meter in any direction with out someone dead stare into your eyes asking if you need any help? You beter know what fuck you came in here for son. Half the time, the panic sets in and now you buying shit you don’t need like door mats or fuses when you came in for a damn Robertson bit.

          Oh my god fuck the credit card hounds, they just keep creeping that fucking desk closer and closer to the entrance, now it’s literally next to the gate with a plexiglass in front of them.

          They used to send me into panic attacks, and I’ve gotten into verbal altercations with them in the past because they’re selling predatory financial services to vulnerable people with no financial literacy, now I just recite “no thanks, I’m just here to shop” if I can’t ignore them and it seems to work, but fucking hell, that alone made me switch from Canadian Tire to Rona for most of my needs.

      Hey, at least they man the customer service desk.

      Can’t say the same about my local Sobeys. Their bathrooms are locked and customer service has the key. The one time they had someone there was when I needed to deal with the bakery and that department was vacant.

      If I could actually trust that responses were well researched, correct and any answer it gives is honored I would love a lot LLM help desks. Give it a rough budget, what my needs are and such, and we can discuss pros and cons of each option. But arguably all AI’s fail all three of those requirements and it’s up to me to fact check.

          Maybe they’re just referring to the left hand, which I agree with the other poster that says the hand is turned so the “extra” finger is meant to be hidden behind the hand.
