It occurred to me recently that the characters would be baby boomers (for the most part); do you guys think they’d be typical boomers? Like, do we see Steve Harrington being like “you know when I was your age” to his 6 nuggets, and simultaneously also being like “how do I text”?
Billy would definitely tell his 16 year old kid to get a job, that they need to walk into a store and just hand a resume in-doesn’t matter if they’re not accepting resumes in person anymore

Okay I’m all for preventing thieves (companies will always make the employees who didn’t stop the theft their problem-it happened to me at an IGA) but they need to stop having the old people on the self checkout area because every single time I have to leave I have to flag her down, and she doesn’t even pay attention; most of the time the self checkout freaks out I’m standing there for 5 minutes with my hand up and the machine flashing red before she slowly shuffles over.

Can we have younger people without cataracts working this area. By no means am I saying older people can’t work, but not in in an area that requires you to pay attention on multiple tasks at the same time

I personally did experience the 1 star service while I was in Alfie and NOA; I walked in and the entire time the male owner kept asking me what I was interested in and I kept saying “I was browsing” and I was because I was trying to figure out what it was I wanted to read after trying to get back into reading (I really didn’t know what I wanted) and instead of leaving me alone he dragged me to the front to meet the author who was doing signing and made me buy a book that had been signed (I couldn’t say no to this poor guy-not his fault the owner cared only about sales and not a good customer experience)

I went into the new QBD bookstore (the same location Alfie and Noa were previously) and I was impressed with everything they had. Best part was I was never followed around like I was being stalked. Kids were allowed to open the books and parents weren’t forced to buy the book. This is how a bookstore should be. I don’t even think I saw the owner/staff anywhere but the register.
