It's a one sided display. I think people are looking for the "hoverboards" themselves, even though we'd have to be some grade A idiots to put those things on the floor. People even try to ride the skateboards that have the plastic wheel lock on them.it may be an ugly case of the sign in the front saying the opposite of what the sign in the back says.Speaking of "hoverboards" we have this big ass four foot high by six foot long display at eye level featured prominently in the front of the wheels dept that says "hoverboard central" with the tickets you take up to the front, and yet everyone still looks around then asks angrily "I thought you had "hoverboards" here!" to which I point out the display (often only a few feet away) and they're all like "where?"
I have to actually walk up to it and do the whole g@@@~&n price is right model hand gestures in front of it.
What's the point of having eyeballs if you're not going to use them.
I hate it when stores do that. It was a big issue back in the Nintendo days when they swore they had games, but they aren't located on the floor and you had to rely upon the good grace of the team to match what was in the catalog to what was in the store room.

This might possibly be construed as mildly political, so
This whole, "We don't have employees, we hire private contractors" thing has gotten WAAAAAAY out of hand.
Long story short, Shiro's player ordered food from Diner Dash. The delivery guy backed into his brand-spanking-new Alfa Romeo. Delivery guy gave him an e-mail address to contact. Diner Dash's response? "All of our drivers are private contractors, hence we are not liable for anything they do. You have to take up any insurance issues with the driver."
So... you manage a system that pays people to deliver food to houses. Your entire business model is based on these deliverypeople driving around and delivering food. But it's not your responsibility to vet them, or to deal with the situation if they hit someone or something?
Huh?

And corporate is cracking down on ID requirements for liquor sales again. We can, as usual, blame somebody in Southern California for getting busted. It's a national chain, and yet it's always a store in SoCal. Always. I don't know what the hell is going on down there.

More tirading about aboleths in APs (spoilered, of course)
Yesterday we encountered the aboleth in Skull & Shackles, and it was yet another ho-hum encounter.
The GM did a magnificent job BEFORE we found it. We saw fleeting glimpses of a kraken in the area. We heard the sounds of the dead captain's footsteps, heard the creaking as the ship started to break apart in the depths -- all part of the aboleth's illusions, and the thing that makes them fun to play as a GM.
Trouble is, the AP writers never give the aboleths any actual ammunition with which to harm the party. We had a couple of Magic Circles Against Evil going (as one of the most powerful defensive spells in the game, even the kids' group has one up all of the time) so the aboleth's Dominates were useless. Instead, it led us around by the nose using its illusions, but there were no traps. No lurking Dominated monsters. Just a creepy, really fun maze with the aboleth at the end.
And the final fight with it was just, "Yeah, sure, you've got tons of illusions. Those can't hurt us. What else can you do?"
One good Will save from the ranger and he was full-rounding the aboleth, so it died in 2 rounds. Yeah, it mucused him. Yeah, it slimed him. But we were in the middle of the ocean. Being "trapped" underwater wasn't a particular hardship for him.
I had the same issue with the aboleth in Serpent's Skull, though it's a lot more fun to play as a "hidden chess master", which is how aboleth are supposed to be run. Trouble is, most APs put them somewhere easily-accessible and obvious.
AP writers delight in putting casters in small rooms with no exits, and has them wait there for the party to arrive.
This never goes well for the casters.
Good on our GM for making our lead-up to the aboleth a fantastically-creepy, buff-burning, paranoid walk through a nightmare.
Bad on the AP for having the poor aboleth sitting in a room just waiting for a pounding once we got to the bottom of the ship.
EDIT: I mean, honestly, I'd just like to see a little more work to deal with an aboleth:
- Step 1: The difficulty of figuring out what exactly it is you're up against
- Step 2: Getting True Seeing for at least one of your melee characters, preferably a fast or ranged one
- Step 3: Dropping the Protected from Evil, True Seeing melee character on the poor aboleth's (head? body? Slimy bits?)
The APs make them so easily-accessible they tend to miss out on step 2.
I can't congratulate our GM enough for having us totally creeped out without our ever realizing we were facing an aboleth until we were in the room with it. It was nicely done, and we weren't prepared, and it should have run away. But they're always written to stay and fight for at least a round or two, and melee combat isn't their forte.

...it should have run away. But they're always written to stay and fight for at least a round or two, and melee combat isn't their forte.
They run away when reduced to 20 HP or less. Dual-wielding ranger with mega-buffs typically does 40-50 HP per round. Good luck with that.
