This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yes, but they also extract every penny of value from them. Minimum legal time for breaks, no visible tattoos, cell phones turned off, and broad manager discretion about things like having a stool at checkout. Apparently they are very upfront about it in interviews, at least, but they know they're often the highest-paying employer for miles around, and they leverage that to the hilt.
