Ghostrider Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 ^^ I would imagine old chaodung's ad, and his profile will be the cyber equivalent of thoroughly nuked as soon as a Mod finds that.

EM Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 OK, one of the JFK airport runways was closed today due to turtles crossing it to get to a beach on the other side:http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/867958-turtles-stop-flights-at-jfk-airport-in-new-york-with-runway-procession Somewhat interesting but not particularly WTF. However, during an interview on the BBC with a spokeswoman from the FAA the interviewer asked: would it not be a good idea to build a tunnel for the turtles, or, I kid you not, a bridge! Bridge + runway does not sound like the brightest of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlady Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 ^^ But why do you need proof of age to buy a DVD suitable for a 2 year old ... . . . does not compute!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para Handy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 God knows tlady But this is what happens when you give morons a job. Where they may have to think for more then a second. And then order others about . And vote for the Liberal Democrats! Just look at our counclors. None of our town hall twits should be in charge of a whelk stall. Never mind all the council funds for there silly pet projects. See the following waste of there time. Council objects to nuclear shipments through Fair Isle Channel.Councillor urges staff to take pay cut or working fewer hours to help minimise job losses.Councillors cleared of conflict of interest charges over Viking Energy windfarm.Education committee to have three religious representatives despite concerns.Two councillor-trustees attack ‘anti-democratic’ trust reform proposals.SIC leader decries fellow councillor’s ‘poor taste’ after mock Nazi salute. And now Talks start on summer Faroe airlink How many millions will they put into that?So one of the counclors will get a few thousand from being on the board. The Peter Principle states that "in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence", meaning that employees tend to be promoted until they reach a position at which they cannot work competently. A Jobsworth is a person who uses their job description in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner. Merges the twp together..And what do you get!A Shetland Councillor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 It is to do with the self service system. Any item that has an age restriction has to be approved by a member of their staff. There could be a policy on DVDs. The screen asks the operative if they have checked the ID, if the customer has no ID, are you suggesting that the operative lies, in this instance. Perhaps they could do that with knives and drink. It is not the member of staff but the system that employs that member. If you are then asking their supervisor to overlook this is that right too?

scoots Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 In a word, yes. They are selling DVDs and other items with a Think 25 policy for certain items. A "U" certificated DVD, intended for children of 4 years of age does not fall within this scheme. The supervisor should know this, therefore she was either inept or, as has been broached here, a complete jobsworth. There's no "having to lie". There's only a plank acting important. Otherwise, why would the store have issued an apology for their treatment? Too many jobsworths around these days. Most working security at Sumburgh, it seems to me....
