They might have to land on a skateboard but Delta just got me the gently caress out of Denver. I may have no bags but I’m no longer sleeping in the piss and poo poo palace that is Denver terminal B.

United is cancelling or delaying dozens of flights again today there. Thanks DoT for doing nothing!

Glad you're making it out of there. I flew united and the same poo poo happened to me twice back in like, feb/march. Used Southwest for one of the days just to get home rather than wait a few days to return.

One thing that i've noticed in my business/personal experience in flying is that it loving commercial sucks and it's almost always worth just driving to wherever you want to go.

100%. being an rear end in a top hat is the only way to fly. checked baggage is for rubes.

also always board during the second group, they don't care and not paid enough to check. but i usually don't take up more than 1 overhead bin spot and then rest goes at my feet though, maybe i'll move it up to the bin later if there's a lot of room.

you can just go to the airport and take a bag, it’s always been that way and I’ve always found it very weird. baggage claim is right next to short term parking

Back in the hippie days Steal This Book had all sorts of hacks like (even when they did do matches between luggage & ticket, but before the advent of 24/7 surveillance) having a friend meet you at the luggage carousel, giving them your luggage tag, them walking out with your luggage and then you filing a lost-baggage claim & getting free weed money.

Yeah I just applied for two jobs (while on the clock, bazinga!) that would pay like 30-50% more and I would absolutely debase myself by doing one of those to get them. But then I am a cisgender vanilla white dude so there's no downside for me.

The weird part to me is like... who the gently caress is actually watching those? From being on many hiring committees before, it's hard enough to just get people to read the resume before the interview and send in their impressions/rankings in a timely fashion.

i think it's just sociopath recruiters and hiring managers. no one is actually watching the poo poo and based on anecdotes online it seems like 99% of people never hear back much like most application submissions in general, so it's a complete waste of time

If I’m traveling for work, it’s all in the carry on. By traveling with young kids for a week usually means that I have to check things. Car seats, strollers, extra bags for all their stuff.

There was a whole area at baggage claim in Denver just for car seats that has been checked. of course they gave up pulling them and said gently caress you after a little while…

"If you are really hungry, you can go into a self-service cafeteria and finish the meal of someone who left a lot on the plate. Self-service restaurants are usually good places to cop things like mustard, ketchup, salt, sugar, toilet paper, silverware and cups for home use. Bring an empty school bag and load up after you've cased the joint. Also, if you can stomach the food, you can use slugs at the automat. Finishing leftovers can be worked in even the fanciest of restaurants. When you are seated at a place where the dishes still remain, chowdown real quick. Then after the waitress hands you the menu, say you have to meet someone outside first, and leave."

lol hell yeah

In Japan that's the standard way to travel. It goes straight to your hotel ahead of you and you pick it up on arrival. Makes a lot more sense than lugging around enormous bags yourself but it does rely on having an efficient, inexpensive shipping company that can be trusted to absolutely not gently caress it all up.

back in the day, if the baker was charging too much for bread, you blamed the baker. you knew where he lived and could gently caress his poo poo up. start a rumor campaign that he fucks chickens. whatever.

things are too diffused now. the cashier doesnt set the price, the manager doesnt even set the price. you might know who owns the walmart, but you cant go to bentonville to protest, you will be arrested and treated a freak. it doesnt matter. nothing matters.

probably also requires hotels not to charge fees for accepting a package on your behalf, which they typically do
