I find not having Expedition 33 here absolutely insane. Some of these are great (I’ve played these games), but Expedition 33 just hits so hard. It’s tremendously memorable, sometimes above and beyond an amazingly memorable game. Worth all awards.

What kind of horrible dystopia is this. Obviously the awfulness to employees is the worst part, but also, and purely from a customer perspective - who wants to shop in a place like that where employees are all smiling and waving like robots? Sounds like a horror movie. Real people have expressions
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
