It really doesn’t matter at all. You’re quitting. You already have a new job lined up. You will never interact with these people again. Nobody asks for references outside of minimum wage positions unless they’re a small shop.
Should have laughed if this was a corporate device. They ignored the continuous popups for too long and was forced into compliance at an inconvenient time because they couldn’t be bothered to reboot at the end of the day for likely 2 weeks.
You’re right, about 100 years ago it did used to be like that. Local banks aren’t a thing anymore. While Co-op banking institutions are better for the local community, they’re also investing in options outside the local community, further depleting the resources of the 30% of customers who shop at more affordable locations
That’s the point though. The profits don’t go to locals, they stay within the owner’s for their second cottage and new boat. Very rarely do local stores actually benefit anybody other than themselves.
It’s blaming people that go into thrift stores looking for items to immediately flip for profit online, depriving the community of needed material resources at an affordable price.
Local stores that were profiting off their customers and not giving back to the community lose 30% of their customers who weren’t benefiting in any way from a local store to more affordable options when available? Wow
