This is not the thread I used to know.

Gu~ must be quite successfull :) With success comes this shit I've noticed.

To that I say Congratz dude! Keep up the good work and Thanks!

lol.
Yeah, this is one of those threads you have to ease in to.
Lots of people’s lunches have been eaten here.

With that said, a little humility goes a long way. They will eventually embrace you....maybe.

In the pet peeve dept, as well: dining out, I routinely 'thank' the server every time she/he delivers something to the table....water, food, check...even though they get paid by low hourly and my 'tip for service'. Almost w/o exception, their reply will be "No problem."

Reassuring to me, as I'd hate that dropping money in the establishment and to the server would be, you know, a problem.
Not taking any jabs here, but I work in food service (10 years) and I kinda disagree with this statement. I consider "no problem" a better gesture than "you're welcome". I feel like "you're welcome" means that the person went beyond what they would normally do, where "no problem" is nothing crazy for them. I work in a pretty busy place and I don't work with a super young crew (our front of house is on average around 30-34 with about the same amount of time in the industry) and I have personally talked to our regulars and they appreciate the "no problem" attitude. Most of the time we do things that aren't our norm and again, it really is no problem at all for us to do that. I feel as "you're welcome" means we did you a favor and we recognize it. Again, no jabs just somebody from the other side.

Somewhere we went from "you are welcome" to "no problem". No problem implies they did us a favor. "No problem" should be for when somebody has a special request.
"No problem is the Millennial equivalence for, "I don't really need this job enough to be polite".

You guys would hate Australia. Even when I've been working for multi million dollar business firms having meetings with mayors etc "no problem" or "no worries mate/man" would pretty much be exclusively said over you're welcome. Hell I've been in multi million dollar contract negotiations with mayors and every second word would be fuck or cunt. Over here attitude is far more important than the words you use. Makes everything a lot easier, just gotta be a good cunt and you're right, no reason to try to speak a certain way to win somebody over

Just noticed, due to busted links, that the green point site has now changed all the address from Cannabis seeds to hemp seeds and all wordings have been changed to hemp as well. Its all hemp seeds now, well except for the repeated guarantee's that you will love the pot you grow from the same seeds, even in a scrolling banner. Rather amusing.

No problem. :blsmoke:

Is it because it's your job that you're paid for? Is it also because you have an expectation of getting compensated with $$ by those you 'serve' for, you know, doing your job? :eyesmoke:

Hmmm. I wonder if it’s a Wordpress hack. I saw that.

WTF!? Professionally speaking, that’s amateur shit. HTTP 302 redirects are essential! That’s just weak, honestly.

Naw, they failed to make re-writes for their old URLs, It’s possible they are working on it and just did stuff in the wrong order.
http 301 and http 302, gps kids, wtf? Try harder.

lol

There have been tools for managing broken links since the fucking nineties, what happened to technical rigor and fundamental computer science basics?
Honestly a bit shocked.

There are lots of little things wrong with the GPS site.
I forget which strain I was looking at, but the wording was messed up in several places.

And of course there's outdated gold nugget stuff...
"Registration alone gets a whopping 500 gold nuggets which you can use towards future purchases on top of additional discount offers."

Ahhh, well. I get the hemp text by direct Nav in the address bar. If this was an old link I should get the proper site by direct Nav no?

Yes, but if you had a specific strain’s page bookmarked it will break. Other pages might be broken too. A site owner or system operator does not have control over what endpoints a user bookmarks, therefore they should account for all of those possibilities when making changes. That’s just basic professionalism on the web. Broken links (I have broken them by the thousands) are inexcusable in my world, I hope they fix them.
