NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

#1 may be due to the Math Skills of recent graduates ... majority cannot count Cash back to save their life -- to say nothing of you give them extra change to get special change back
( $9.65 bill - give them $10.15 to get 2- quarters back )

Cash register tells them how much to give back.
They don't even need to calculate anymore.

They still get ****ed up. Had a total come to 11.20. Handed the cashier 21.20. I got the deer in headlights look

Many of those apps offer the "deals" to get access to your personal info and to be able to send you "targeted" ads. Read the terms of service. Some phone apps ask for permission to access your contacts, location, etc.

All of our personal info is for sale on the dark web sometimes for pennies when one buys in bulk. Your ssn, your name, your phone, your address, your bank info, your credit cards, etc..

The only way it's not is if you have never had an account online. Think newborns and even they are not safe once they are issued an ssn.

I am thrifty when it is convenient for me. If I'm buying milk at Strack's anyway, I'll get the kind that is $1.00 off.

By the way, has anybody noticed that Dutch Farms milk now comes in a 98 oz bottle instead of a gallon? No wonder it's $1.99.

My employee's son who owns an exotics store tells me he has a real problem with stuff arriving dead. Some expensive critters even. If I recall, he said he has a hard time recouping his money too.

Shipping anything is a real crap shoot nowdays. As bad as Gary was, USPS was better before they started shifting to Bedford facility.

We're still getting semi-reliable service from UPS, but it's expensive.

Whenever I've had pet animals shipped it's almost always been FedEx overnight for pickup at the Michigan City facility. The only one that wasn't, was the jumping spider and I would have been screwed if it arrived dead because that was UPS two day and UPS explicitly forbids shipping arachnids.

You didn't get $20.00 back?

I have a customer that loves to tip in $2 bills, I've bee saving them more recently to see how many I can get before he's no longer a customer (he's not young) but it was always fun spending them, got anywhere from rude looks, refusals because they were "fake", a few thought they were cool.

Yeah, I saw a thing once where the cashier asked for the manager and the manager called the police because the customer gave him a $2 bill.

I had my 2nd call for a job with a Catholic university in Indy. I have always wanted to work for a good Catholic university. The only issue is the low pay for a Helpdesk Manager for not just the area, but Indy in general. Houses are way more expensive, and it is less than I made in Kokomo. But it would be more money than I make now (unemployed). But 65-70 miles one way commute is such a killer.

Good times with legal tender.

And you just bought a home.

 

[sadclownwp]

Yep. I also just found out what happened with the job in Bluffton. Looks like the GM plant in FT. Wayne is running a huge surplus. So the place I had the job lined up at, is gonna kill 3rd shift. And shift the IT guy on that shift to the 2nd shift position I was going to get hired for. The economy is definitely going to ****.

If they would've gave that back in change I would of taken it an walked away.

Biden said in his speech that the economy is the strongest we have ever had.

Tell that to the 200 people on the third shift in Bluffton. I honestly don't know how Biden says that manufacturing is up. Unless he doesn't know and that is just what his handlers are telling him.
