Oh cool my bank started charging me $12 monthly service fees and didnt tell me so the money my parents sent me just evaporated due to extended overdrafts, literally the only bank activity from the past few months is service fees and overdraft fees and no withdrawls or payments of any kind

Minimum balance fees: we're gonna charge you money, for not having enough money

Interest: you have so much money, we're gonna give you more, as a reward for doing so well at having money

Capitalism!

They shouldn't be overdrafting with bank fees. Unfortunately there probably isn't a branch within 800 miles of you.

800 413 2871 is the number that ostensibly tracks bags, though all they keep telling me is "we are looking for it and have no clue where it is." You cant get through to them, dick?

As stated previously, they have been very clear to me that they will ONLY release the package to Dave, only with multiple forms of ID, and will only ship it to a greyhound station that he approves after filling out the appropriate forms.

this sounds like a desperate customer contact worker trick, which is asking the customer random poo poo that has no impact on anything for a while so they feel they're being heard. Ask them to hold a while, get coffee, tell em 'sorry call back tomorrow', repeat until they get off your back or a change of some sort -- far outside your powers as a lowly phone peon - in circumstances occurs and you can maybe fix their issue

I like the obvious fiction that dozens of employees throughout the system have an all-points-bulletin in hand with a picture of Dick's box, frantically searching high and low for this very important missing package.

As opposed to the reality that they likely have a thousand missing pieces of luggage in their lovely system at any given time and literally nobody gives a single gently caress about actively finding things, but shitloads of things just gradually filter through their garbage network and maybe arrive where they need to be eventually.

Tremek is going to check out the camper now, and then heading to get Dave I believe

Edit: he even went and had his bike checked out at a bike shop and got new brakes on it for 14, this guy is all out great!

Is there a Beavis and Butthead smiley?

To post something actually relevant:

Does Dave have the serial number for the bike? Probably a long shot, and worthless, but if the bike never shows up, could he report it stolen, to say, Denver/SLC/ Oglalalala police?

I'm sure the police probably don't give that much of a gently caress about the 1000th stolen bike report of the day, but if it should turn up somewhere, like in the hands of a greyhound employee, and it was reported as being "lost" during a greyhound trip, maybe it'll bring a bunch of scrutiny and bad publicity to greyhound and their extremely lovely...... evreything

If it were any regular company, they'd care about their public image. But Greyhound is special. They don't have to care. They know they can treat their customers like human cattle and straight up steal from them and not give a gently caress.
