Uh sorry but you're salaried for 40 hours a work week, and you've been completing your work in 15-25 ish hours... That's called wage theft.

The cops will be here to beat you shortly.

Weird how they get upset if you finish up under 40 hours and want that time for yourself, but if you work overtime you're salaried and we don't have to pay you more.

the cached google version works great AND it probably doesn't give reddit page views if that's what you're after.

A lot of results from reddit don't show up in google's cache, for some reason

same with twitter, sometimes it lets you access the cached version of a search result sometimes it doesn't

Can't imagine there's a lot of shareholder value to be harvested from a cached version of the content on a third-party host. Better break the functionality to be sure.

All the manufactured servility in US retail/restaurant settings is unnerving to me. Everyone knows it's a script! It's not real! The workers there, aside from a few truly deluded individuals, aren't actually happy to see you. They aren't actually thanking you. They're reading from a soulless script penned by an undead monstrosity in a defiled marketing tomb somewhere.

a really bad example of this is when you call customer support and the very obviously non-american worker has to say "hi, i'm bob and i'm talking to you from omaha, nebraska. what can i do for you today?"

everything about calling customer support is such a nightmare.

I got them and they're tissue paper thin. I looked disgusting - nipples protruding - in front of my fiancee. Very disrespectful

I loving haaaaate this and it makes me feel like the shittiest person in the world for even bothering to contact customer support.

The worst version of this that I experienced lately is when my girlfriend had to do some online certification poo poo where the exams were proctored by someone who was on camera and very clearly in an overseas call center, and they still had the "Hi, I'm Amanda and I'm your completely American proctor!" script.

It's loving horrific.

What sucks the most is, in the age of the internet and more and more people growing up tech-savvy, if you do call customer support it's likely because you truly have some issue that requires someone knowledgeable to help you with a very very specific issue and when you try to explain they'll just go through the "turn it off and back on" script anyway

I had to delay a 20-hour drive trying to set up a security camera by like an hour and a half because their servers were getting hammered (the true problem) yet the customer service person made me redo the setup process a dozen times before realizing why it wasn't working. like no poo poo dude I already tried setting it up multiple times!!!! problem's on your end!!!

Does it make more money than just shoving everything someone could want in their face and putting a "pay now" button on the page?

The "secret" is that the scam people give Amazon a fat cut for listing priority. The more scammy, the more they can pay to Amazon because their margins are enormous.

We also used a cheap motion-activated camera to check in on our cats when we were on vacation. It was very comforting because they are both idiots (being cats and such).

They make you feel like that on purpose. Businesses really hate when people use their customer support lines and want to drive you away from them and shut down down their lines permanently. All cost centers must be wound up, only revenue drivers allowed!
