Dude.

I work in a Canadian Costco.

You get a dollar an hour raise every 1040 hours worked. Which at full time works out to every 6 months. So $2/hr in raises a year.

Next month I top out on the pay scale, after 4.5 years of employment. My wage will be $34.40/hr.

At that point my raises do go down to $1/hr per year.

In 2 years I start getting the long term employee payouts, which is $3,000 every 6 months.

What the fuck are you talking about? Oh, and if need be I can back this all up with photos

Also, we’ll refund that kayak for any reason. Including no reason

I work in a Costco. The computer system we use is the AS 400 system that was originally developed in 1985 and it runs on thin client machines with Win11 on them.

That it doesn’t explode into a million pieces amazes me every day.

If 9/11 taught us anything it is that there is nothing a man cannot do if he no longer fears the consequences.

Me, as a Gen X, just keeping under the radar…

Used Ubuntu Linux for a year back around '08-'09. Didn’t have a great experience and went back to Windows. Since then I’ve never had a reason to try it again. That said, I’ve nothing but respect for those that use a flavour of Linux or Mac OS. At the end of the day doing the things you need done is what matters and if a different OS than mine gets you there, that’s awesome.
