@dev @TheBreadmonkey A keyboard warrior steels himself and steps out, blinking, into the light of the real world and says ‘yes, even here I can make a difference’
He (and yes, it is always a he) is blissfully unaware that IRL being a pedantic annoying shit who always wants the last word can get you smacked in the mouth.
@davidbcohen @dev @TheBreadmonkey
I would have thought the same, until it turned out that the store clerk was just as much of a "keyboard warrior" by insisting that strawberries aren't berries.
@kallisti @davidbcohen @dev @TheBreadmonkey, s/clerk/assistant/
@kallisti @dev @TheBreadmonkey Yes, they are definitely in on the conspiracy 😂

Counterpoint: Fuck Tesco.
There is literally NO inch of ground I'd be willing to concede to a corporation to choose their own version of the truth.
I don't care how silly it is, or how little it matters to 99.99% of people buying bananas. I expect the party with most of the power in any given situation to at least be constrained by the truth. That's the bare minimum to ask.
@petealexharris @dev @TheBreadmonkey I respectfully suggest that if you want to fuck Tesco that haranguing a low wage employee who has zero power to set discount policy is not an effective way of striking against their corporate ignorance.
@davidbcohen @dev @TheBreadmonkey
Sure. But the objection is valid. I didn't see anything about haranguing the employee. If they can't give the discount, they can't. Their personal legal position wasn't in question at all as far as i can tell.
