Is there a way to ignore what customers say? (+rant)

I don´t mean "ignore" like walk away or don´t do what they ask you to do. I mean those passiveagressive comments they do all the time. Example: We have like a bonus-card and we are forced to ask the customers at checkout if they got the card and collect bonus points.

I swear to god, half the time the customers tell me stupid shit on why they can´t or won´t and don´t and will never get it, because some whatever reason and I ALWAYS just want to tell them off. Instead of just saying no and move on they start fucking monologuing. Right now I deal with it by straight up not answering or getting to the next customer or just smile but holy shit I´m livid inside. I just want to tell them to shupt up no one cares about what their opinion is, you are like one of hundreds of humans I talk to every day no one gives a fuck. They always want to "teach" me or think they can somehow change the entire system by taking it out on me. Sometimes when I succeed in telling them we´re forced to do this they say: "ah yes BUT I will still tell you shit because I don´t care and just want to take my frustration out of you. I know you can´t do anything about it so fuck you I love wasting your time and energy and I will feel very good about telling you how the world would be a better place If you weren´t here, because I´m too dumb to understand if you go another poor bastard will take your place and is forced to do the same. Or maybe I don´t get it and I´m just too dumb, I just buy stuff here, your are just a cashier"

A second thing are bags. Every time people want items in bags and I tell them they cost money they freak out. Or tell me no they have enough bags at home. Bitch why don´t you take it with you when you go buying stuff. Use your brain for once and take your bag when you go out. Not just your bagpurse that can only hold your tampon. I sold a calendar that´s surrounded by plastic to keep it safe. It´s sold like that. What does that woman say: Oh can you please wrap it in fucking paper because that obviously will keep this dumb PLASTIC SEALED calendar safe? And I tell them: well it´s already in plastic, nothing will happen. It didn´t matter. Of course I did wrap it but why the fuck can´t I tell them how stupid they are. Oh yeah, that thin paper will surely protect it better than plastic. "Oh I just want it because THE PLASTIC WILL RIP IN MY RUCKSACK. Are you fucking kidding me.

Okay there are a lot of things. People convincing me that we are corrupt because we don´t sell the woke/racist onces that are so important and we suck because we don´t have one book. I mean we fucking sell it, if it isn´t here anymore it doesn´t mean we are ignorant and hate good literature, it means someone fucking buyed it before you came.

And that woman that told me I probably don´t know what she wants because she doesn´t remember the author and title. It´s pointless to tell me whats about because I won´t know. So she won´t tell me more information. BITCH ITS MY FUCKING JOB! And guess what? She told me two sentences about it after I told her that´s my job to figure things out and I know which book she meant in 2 seconds. And we had it in our store. It was a sweet victory.

Okay enough of that.

I thought about just saying "stop" and continue my job and say so every time they open their mouths to proceed to tell me dumb shit they think will make me change my mind or think I care.

The thing is, I love my job. I´m a bookseller. But it´s still retail after all. I work in a bigger chain and I´m nothing more than a grain of sand. The only thing that keeps me going is to give nice people books I love and I hope they will love too. I can really change peoples lives, and give children a nice fantasy to hold onto in this fucking world. And research, I love it! Fuck AI! You will not replace me. (Also AI is often very wrong about details in books, a collegue once let AI write a review about a new book and it was all wrong. Nothing right in it, it just added things that it thought was right. Also customers come to me and want books that don´t exist. Good thing we´re still here to teach people about how depending on AI is stupid and you should talk to people that know what they´re doing.)

But holy shit every other aspect is just retail hell. So how do I TRULY ignore what they say? Because I can´t change them. How do I stop taking every dumb shit they say personally? I know it´s not personal but I´m fucking tired. I´ve done it for 13 years and why do these dumb people exist. It´s a neverending stream of bullshit because every person I help and make understand is replaced by another generation of people that don´t know and pretend they do and sometimes aks AI and I have to tell them that AI is absolute shit for figuring out stuff and I know better because I have real experience.

Please how do I ignore them. Like really. How do I ignore the words they speak and only hear them as noises? And maybe filter out the important parts? Because it´s killing me.

Fuck you guys. And stop supporting AI books. Thanks. I love you.

Okay, help please. I´m a level 0 noob trying to understand crostini on my chromebook

Hey guys!

So I know this was probably asked a thousand times already. And I looked at similar posts. But I couldn´t find was a "quick guide" for crostini and terminal or how to start anything. I´m also confused about certain things.

I´m a super noob. I can´t even tell you the basics, what model or what a gpu is or how graphic cards work or what RAM is. I learned how windows works, but that only means I know what buttons to press when something is wrong and how to install things and play games on it. I don´t understand computers at all.

I bought a chromebook (duet gen 11)

And I thought I could use the linux environment to learn a little how it works, because I want to switch on my PC to linux instead of Windows.

Problem.

I know there are ways to learn those things, but it seems I need to really research it on the internet or read certain books. It will take time and I can do it, I´m sure of it. I just don´t have the time right now, a lot is going on.

I just wonder how a person that doesn´t know those things is supposed to know how anything on linux works? There is no tutorial for people that know nothing, every answer is given with words and symbols I don´t understand. I have to start with the big bang in order to solve easy problems.

I just wanted to install Firefox as a browser, I don´t want to use chrome and instead of downloading a folder with an .exe file I can click on and it just installes it, it gave me a firefox-153.0.1.tar.xz file. I can click on it but it doesn´t install anything.

I realized there is this thing called Terminal and I can basically tell it to install firefox but I wonder how am I supposed to know this? What to type in? I know there is something like sudo apt or something, but how do I know? I tried one command (that showed up when I started Terminal, it said I can delete this information window that popped up when I type in the following code) and I did but it didn´t work. I typed in everything it said, < and / and all that.

I´m doing something wrong I think.

Can you guys give me a simple "guide" so to speak that tells me in simple words how to install things? Like Libre Office or Obsidian or something. I want to use this chromebook for writing and school, but I´m a little overwhelmed.

I also want to understand Linux and computers but I can´t right now.

The only thing I ever did similary was while playing Fallout NV. I could just type /command but I guess this doesn´t work in here.

Help please.

I like to know how to install future apps and applications and if there is a list on terminal that shows me the commands and what I do with them.

And what to do with the other apps that popped up after switching to linux environment but they don´t show what they are there for. Example: Vim. That´s the only one I think. Oh okay I could exit it with an command. Progress! But I don´t know what it is. There is an ad for helping children in uganda?

Also what is penguin. I can learn those things, but honestly I don´t know where to start. I just want to start writing : (

Sorry for the long text guys, I feel like an idiot. Okay here we go, I have nothing to loose.

Two povs with "strong" plots in one book?

What is your opinion on two rather big separate plots that are told in two POVs that alternate every chapter.

Would it be too much? Would you loose interest in one plot and skipping the other? For example if two characters don´t seem to be connected and the first one makes a big journey to solve a mistery and the other does some Colloseum stuff with fighting and it´s more about survival. The first would be mystery and the other action. Would it be too distracting? They´re connected. But I read sometimes in reviews that people are bored with one character and just skim it and only read the other. What´s your opinion?

Toxic players and no way to progress the game without them

So. Yeah games is good so far, besides the ugly female dwarfs (I can say that I´m a woman) and toxic players. One teammate just afk´d halfway in and the worms started coming. Guess who activated the elevator alone and died because that one player decided to dip? That´s the first time this problem arised. Since I joined the party I couldn´t just kick the dude. Is there a way to "force" the elevator down in an update maybe so we´re not dependend on players like that? Or maybe just make the elevator a saferoom like the dropod in DRG. So we can chill in there till the worms take the rest of the players that sleep or whatever they do during playing Rogue Core.

Oh and what´s with the toxicity? These guys just proceeded to friendly fire at me because I wouldn´t walk back 100 meters for the upgrade. Come on guys we can just do it in the next cave ffs. No need to dig a path and climb back up just we can stand in a circle two caves behind us.

You guys need to chill. I mean I know we´re not in Space Rig 17, we have to work out for beer, but really?!

Question regarding the range of emotions or relationships that demons have

Hello guys, I only read the 20th volume which is covered by the anime this far. I have a question, because I´m really not sure.

Demons don´t know what friends are. But they can like stuff, they can become obsessed with something and understand love.

But how can they not know what friends are? Or "best Friends" , in the case of last episode when Azz didn´t know what it was.

I guess Demons are just selfcentered and they can like stuff and even form groups because they benefit eachother? They know they need to survive and become more advanced that´s the reason they help each other? Or have children?

But that means even now Iruma sees Azz and Clara as friends, can it be those two don´t REALLY get what he means by that? I don´t want to believe it because Clara is so sincere, but it´s really bugging me. When Clara said she loves Iruma a bunch we know that she really likes him. They are friends. But does SHE know? Or is Iruma just an obsession and a being that benefits her even if she´s unaware?

Help me to figure this out please. I can ignore it and just be happy the triple-love-squad loves eachother but I don´t get it.

Hey guys,

my parents just called me. They´re in napoli the train station (main station) right now. My parents waited for the train and someone grabbed my dads golden necklace. He had it since he was a teen. It´s golden, something called a "coffe bean chain". It´s not new gold, but kind of worn. Those guys sat up in a moped. He doesn´t remember how they looked like. Is there any "place" that necklace could end up? Some kind of regular black market or spot where those are sold? Are there some kind of pawn shops that it will most likely end up in? Or ebay? What can you suggest? I supposed those guys were pretty young, so I´m hoping they´ll try to sell it really quick. Are there any spots natives know that are known for quick cash? Help would be appreciated

I just watched reels instead of doing something else and suddenly I got hit with the second ending ( Thank You!! by Home Made Kazoku ) and man... the sudden nostalgia almost brought me to tears. And now I can´t stop thinking of the time I first watched Bleach, 17 years ago. Just turned 15 back then. My friend couldn´t stop talking about anime and she forced me to watch it. I really thought anime was for children and I was only interested in books back then. I still think about this moment and can´t stop to thank my friend for being annoying and persistent, because holy shit- Bleach was such a cornerstone in my life, and still is to this day. It opened my eyes to the world of anime and my whole horizon expanded endlessly. I learned so much from it and there is no day I don´t think about this series. I still hope to become energetic and loyal like Rukia, or have a courage and strenght like Ichigo, I still look out for hot men like Byakuya or Ukitake (just joking haha) and I try to sell Bleach to teens when I get the chance in hopes that it inspires them, like it inspired me. But I can´t get over the feeling of "missing" Bleach every time I think about it. I mean sure, when the manga ended I cried a bit and was happy and then life moved on. I started to find more great manga and that was that. Then the special chapter dropped and the anime was announced and I thought I won´t be as excited as I was when I read TYBW weekly. I won´t cry when Yama or Unohana die. It will be fun, but my Bleach years are over. But then I got excited, I cried when Yama and Unohana died. It IS fun. And now it´s a mix of happiness, nostalgia, excitement, sadness, all at once. After the last Cour drops it will be over again. I´m just so happy I can experience Bleach again, I am so happy I´m alive to watch the anime everyone had given up on. It´s insane how I can be so happy and miss Bleach so much. You know? The time back then, my first steps outside school, Bleach ending when I decided on what to do with my life. I guess I miss being that young again, just watching Bleach for the first time, listening to the ending and everything is alright. I´m so grateful and happy Bleach exists and I really hope every kid and teen finds that ONE anime or manga, that just sticks with them for the rest of their lives. The feeling of nostalgia and missing something and looking back on it, is just so powerful. Alright I´m crying. I just wanted to tell someone. No one else is really into anime or manga and Bleach fans aren´t that common anymore. But it´s alright, I guess that´s the thing about getting old. But at least I know how a smartphone works, step it up Rukia haha
