When people say they don't do lines, they don't mean every literal fucking line in the world. The lines where it's ostentatious - standing in line all day to get an autograph, standing in line all day for an iPhone, standing in line all day to score tickets to a Laker game, shit like that. Not the literal line at Chick Fil 'A. |

I feel bad for Sears. They were the first order from home service and a very good one at that. For whatever reason they couldn't transition to online and their online stores were an example of poor programming and couldn't even manage a shopping cart.

I spend a literal fuck ton of money for my employer. I try my best to spend our money local and I'll be damned if they don't make it damn near impossible for me to do business with them. This includes and especially mom and pops. |

We are not the same, in general. For this one thing, maybe. But in general I'm not this person on the outside. I'm the guy who will follow the guy doing the speed limit for 30 miles. Bitch about it to myself. But not pass unless there is a specific passing zone to do so. ... but you just know that fucker will speed up as soon as you hit that passing zone ... Most times in public I am very patient and sometimes overly chatty to random people. The problem is I have one of those angry all the time faces and even when I'm happy I don't look it. I can't help that. LOL I hate everyone in a cynical sense. I'll blame it on all the Carlin bits I grew up on. Quote:
Thing is my data concerns are not unfounded or crazy. https://www.lexology.com/library/det...6-d75cdc25f216 In school and personal research it's become very apparent that the amount of ourselves we unknowingly give out and becomes part of some database for someone to make money is far larger than the majority realize. We don't have any access to it. We don't have any legal right to it, depending on data usage. We have so little control over ourselves and we don't even know it. Lawyers and the fine print ... If you see someone having a bad day do you do anything to help them? No? (because most of you haven't done anything to prove otherwise in my case) Then why should I go out of my way to do it? The best? worst? part of it is that I had a buddy message me last night and said he needs help at the pizza place and asked if I'd come back. Was one of the funest jobs I've had. I'm really thinking about it as a part time gig. I'm actually really good at customer service stuff and love the interaction. |

The autograph? Kobe's Nike release at Niketown Beverly Hills. People stood in line for a week in advance - I brought the kid standing first in line Subway for a few nights. He held my place in line, the day of launch? The first 8 people got to sit with Kobe and get the sneakers signed. All it cost me was a few $5 meals at Subway. Now? There's fucking apps for everything. |
