1. You have to use the piercing gun. No matter how many times the customers say they have seen The Parent Trap, they will scream in the store if you use a needle, which will scare the other customers.

2. There is no limit on keychains per customer. We have corrected this misconception. It seems an employee instituted a limit because they personally felt it necessary, but no such limit exists.

3. Do not let customers with Auntie Anne’s pretzel bags touch any faux fur items (THIS INCLUDES BELTS). We cannot get that grease out, and the items become unfit for sale.

4. Please let men in the store buying rings know that their fiancées can tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamonds. It will save us a return later.

5. As a policy, we have a no-tester rule (THIS INCLUDES BELTS), so someone does not need to remove packaging from any item. You will have to say this multiple times to some mothers.

Τα κέρδη των τραπεζιτών θα πάνε κατευθείαν στις τσέπες τους, όχι στα ταμεία των τραπεζών για να δοθούν ως δάνεια. Είναι πράγματι συγκινητική η προσπάθεια του κ. Μητσοτάκη να στηρίξει την αισχροκέρδεια των τραπεζιτών παρασέρνοντάς μας στο σφάλμα να μπερδεύουμε τα κέρδη των τραπεζιτών με τα δάνεια που παρέχουν οι τράπεζες. Όταν ο κ. Μητσοτάκης λέει «επιτέλους […]

The rational expectations hypothesis presupposes — basically for reasons of consistency — that agents have complete knowledge of all of the relevant probability distribution functions. When trying to incorporate learning in these models — trying to take the heat of some of the criticism launched against it up to date — it is always a […]

Jenny Clark and Theresa Löber The UK’s climate continues to change, getting wetter and warmer, with extremes becoming ever more pronounced. Even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, experts warn that we’ll see the number and severity of extreme weather events increase further. Without adaptation, we will see more property, infrastructure … Continue reading Adaptation is to mitigation what Robin is to Batman

Labour has made good on its election promise to overturn a ‘historic injustice’ which has denied former mineworkers billions in pension payments since the privatisation of British Coal in 1994. It means more than 100,000 retired pit workers will share £1.5 billion, amounting to a 32 percent increase in annual pensions, or an average of […]

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the costs of job displacement in energy-intensive industries in selected OECD countries. Based on harmonised linked employer-employee data from 14 OECD countries, we estimate the effect of job displacement in three energy-intensive industries, namely energy supply, heavy manufacturing and transport, compared to other industries. We find that workers displaced from energy supply and heavy manufacturing, experience larger earnings losses compared with workers in non-energy-intensive and transport sectors. Larger earnings losses mainly result from weaker re-employment outcomes in terms of wages and job instability but also challenges with finding another job. They reflect significant differences in the composition of workers and firms in energy supply and heavy manufacturing and the rest of the economy. Displaced workers in these sectors tend to be older, are less skilled and more likely to be previously employed in high-wage firms.
