I once told a new guy not to stress over the Champagne because they bounce if you drop them.

I managed to stop him spiking the bottle into the floor.

I'm pretty sure if it really had that feature it would be very prominently advertised on it, no guesswork needed

"Hmm, that one must have been defective, Ill try again."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

“How the hell is the entire store’s inventory defective?! Talk about unlucky!”

[–] can 23 points 6 months ago

That would make my day

[–] PiJiNWiNg 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This sounds like a dad joke gone wrong

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

You mean gone right.

It’s paying well enough that they’re able to afford an iPhone, maybe they should understand cleaning up messes if occasionally part of the job?

Hey, you seem to be trolling in a jokey way. If I see someone with this many downvotes, then I assume the community doesn't think you're being excellent to them, so Rule 5. If I see you doing this kind of trolling in the community again, I'll ban you. This is a warning.

another point being that he often posts some inflammatory comment and then disappears without responding to a single one of multiple replies calling out his bullshit

[–] pelespirit 9 points 6 months ago

That's exactly why I think it's jokey trolling. I think he's human, but that's how bots act as well.

Or it's heavily subsidized on their plan or finances across many months, creating a de facto contract.

Boot lick harder. People aren't your fucking servants and are allowed to complain when shitty people do shitty things on purpose.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or it's a used SE. The type of phone someone has tells you nothing of that person.

Much like cars, the person with a nice car could be living in the ghetto which then begs the question of why are you driving a $50k car and living there? In terms of a tagline on a Twitter post no it doesn't tell you anything about the person but if it said "sent with my iPhone 15" it would tell a bigger story.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

10 seconds on google will show you that verizon offers a iphone 15 pro max for $33/month for new subscribers. that's just one example of one carrier.

can the whole "if you have an iphone you've got nothing to complain about" narrative just fuck off and die already? i say that as an apple hater

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yea, hate Apple users for valid reasons, like giving more money to a company that gloats about how rich they are.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

tbh i hate just about every corporation, but especially ones that create a "culture" of fanboys/girls who adopt the brand as part of their own personal identity and condemn any criticism of the brand as if you just kicked their puppy

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Maybe because the car is an escape from an otherwise shitty life where staying at home means friction, stress, disagreements and disputes, but the car is their own sacred place, where they can get away from the bullshit and free their mind, and just enjoy a little bit of happiness.

Not that I'd know anything about that...

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You’re right, poors don’t deserve things, how dare they.

Can you just fuck off? Do you have to be a twat in every thread on the entire fediverse? Shit gets old.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago

LOL i see that kid everywhere, posting the shittiest possible takes in the most ineffectual ways

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago

This is everyone's daily reminder to please not feed the trolls.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Hey come on, cumfart. Your trolling is normally funny and harmless. Your can do better than this

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

The store likely loses more in damaged/stolen merchandise than the employee makes.

All of that is money that could have been spent on actual customer service if people weren’t wasting it.

Of course, we all know that it wouldn’t actually be spent on customer service, but that’s a different topic.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Go. Fuck. Yourself.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

no one mentioned money, but i guess it's necessary to inject that particular strawman into this argument in order to push your "how dare you say anything critical about your capitalist overlords" point, isn't it?

fuck retail, and fuck retailers

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Simping for assholes, are we?
