  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I mean, I've experienced something similar at work, except not automated.

And the amount of talking was literally just us asking each other for help. For example to help with moving a loaded pallet using a pallet jack as this was in a freezer, and the floor had frost on it (I alone would just "walk" in the same spot trying to pull or push it).
"The client has complained they heard talking, so please be quiet." (the client being a supermarket chain, or in this case, their representative)
Disregarding the manager could result in a negative point. The negative point would reduce you to minimum wage for that day.

This was in the storage area of a supermarket. A closed supermarket. It couldn't bother a single soul.

The idea that your wage can be reduced as a minor penalty is atrocious

I hope that representative found a great new job they love where their great failure respecting people can no longer hurt anyone

the fact that people like that manage to avoid having terrible terrible things done to them is a testament to the mental fortitude of the average worker
