I’d guess it depends on the chain. I know of one retailer where a store pickup would count as an in-store sale, which gave revenue to that particular store. This applied even if the in-store pickup required the item to be shipped to the store first

Probably just that Pikachu often says “pika pika”, and sometimes variations like “pika pi”

I actually work in a company where anyone can work from home if they want. It’s just that many of us chose not to for various reasons.

So I’m sorry for having a preference different than yours, but if your management uses me as a single example to keep people in the office against their will, I think that’s s problem with the management, not with me.

That seems like a very depressing mindset to have. And don’t generalize your view onto everyone else like that. You say this as if I’m forcing everyone else at work to talk to me, which I am not. I am not even the one to initiate most conversations.

By talking to others, I’m feeding on their energy? I never said that I forcefully disturb others so they have to talk to me or something. I just enjoy the casual day-to-day chats with my coworkers.

But if calling strangers gross on the internet makes you feel good, I hope you have a lovely day.

I’m sorry for having an opinion different than yours. I am not even saying that WFH is bad or anything, just that I don’t prefer it.

4 days on-site. I like the mental separation by having a completely separate space for work, and I enjoy talking to my colleagues. I don’t see many people outside of work, so I need the social interaction. And the lunches at work are usually much healthier than something I’d cook up myself, so that’s also a plus.

I have tried to work from home a few days, but don’t really like it at all.

Can be, it’s fairly common. But they are then usually anthropomorphic, and sometimes with fur as well (mine doesn’t though)

I picked a dragon because I like dragons

I really love concept albums where the chorus of the first song makes a return in the finale. Makes it feel so conplete.

Examples, all power metal:

• Gloryhammer - Return to the kingdom of Fife
• Memories of Old - The Zeramin Game
• Marius Danielsen’s Legend of Valley Doom - (all three albums listened to together)
