Thing is, if you have a valid problem, you can do that politely, not even waste any time with the peon, just say, "Hi, I have a problem that's going to require a manager, will you please call them for me?"

If you're just bitching in search of freebies, you should just not.

If the problem is an unreasonable customer, your business is better off without them.

If the problem is the business, you're better off with a new job.

All good points, and reasons you might be better off going to Disneyland in California, which is 500 acres including California Adventure. So you can "do Disney" in one long day, especially if you have little kids who don't like the really scary rides, or you're all too old for Small World. Then you have all the other Southern California stuff left, including several other theme parks.

Edit to add: at Disneyland, there's an official colony of cats!

That really sucks. If you can reach a human (it's worth trying an actual phone call!) and tell them how hard up you are, you might be able to break it down into small payments, ask if you can make it $10/month.

Also, many of the young people who live in the Anaheim area work the Disney parks as their summer jobs. Not sure how that fits into the hierarchy. And of course the people who make Disney movies get free entry if they reserve it ahead.

Wheeldestrians appreciate you!

Ynk, someday a midnight murder might be solved (or even prevented!) by your mapping of the streetlights, or a wheelchair user might realize the base of the light pole is going to block too much of the sidewalk and cross to the other side at the previous corner.

Spelt is also a grain, a variant of wheat.

Awww! Maybe it's you who needs to wear a bell.

'Scuse you, she's busy stalking birds right now! Don't remind her she's actually indoors, that's like your mom interrupting your video game!

When you get up, grab a wand toy and waggle it for her to pounce at awhile and then give her a crunchy treat, like it's the bones of that chickadee out there.

Sure, and you might even win some, but once your cases get to the Supreme Court they will get shot down anyway.

I'm kind of glad about that water thing because there's a golf course about a mile downhill and I don't know where they get their water but ours is piped in from an uphill reservoir quite far in the other direction. Which might have all kinds of other unknowns in it, of course, but I'm so old I'm probably mostly microplastics and carcinogens by now.
