Eat This Glob posted:I was a bag boy in high school. I also brought the groceries to their car and loaded the car for them. I had just two regulars that tipped me a buck, and it was a minimum wage job. If you're spending a dollar in america, you expect to be treated like a golden god. I always tipped when I moved back to town because it always made my day when i got one. I was also a bag boy for a bit. The grocery store I worked for put up signs reminding customers not to tip us.

Captain Billy Pissboy posted:That's probably illegal but good luck hiring a lawyer to sue for it Had this happen to me a few years ago. The place was really desirable but the guy told me there were two applicants in front of me and offered to take my application and $35 check anyway saying don’t worry I’ll only cash it if I run your application. Three days later he leaves a voicemail telling me I had insufficient rental history but neither my then current landlord nor the friend I had pretending to be my previous landlord (had lost the old landlord’s contact info) ever heard from him. Ultimately wasn’t worth figuring out what to do over $35 bucks but I was loving annoyed.

I don't know if it's true but my nephew told me the xbox was going to make sure all new games are backwards compatible to the older one for at least a year before transitioning to the new hardware exclusively. Which if true, what's the point?

Does that basically work out to about one hour of bonus pay per month? Because LMAO holy poo poo

Main Paineframe posted:the federal eviction moratorium is opt-in. to be covered, you have to give the landlord a letter saying you want to be covered under the moratorium. if you didn't know to do that, you're still evictable My state created a tenant assistance program where the state will pay 80% of the back rent if the landlord agrees to forgive the other 20%. Not sure how effective it will be I don’t think it’s started up yet. I only mention it because this choice quote quote:Jason Miller, the legislative director for the Oregon Rental Housing Association, told KOIN 6 News small landlords don’t often have the spare cash to cover expenses like mortgage, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs — and might not be able to sustain a 20% loss.

Len posted:But wait, isn't 80% from the state better than 0% from an unemployed person? Yeah, but the landlord has to forgive that whole 20%. Whereas if they opt not to take the rental assistance they can get a judgement from the tenant for the full amount. A judgment that will never actually be paid, sure. But  Landlords are shitheads

spacetoaster posted:About the only way I can imagine it ever happening is the stupid way the military was doing forced hydration in the 90's. LMAO I was in the army between 2000 and 2004 and I remember this to this very day. "DRINK WATER!!!" "If your pee isn't clear you need to drink right now!" God just so much water drinking. A cult of water drinking. Then when we were in Iraq convoying up to Baghdad the countryside was littered with bottles of water people would pee into and throw out the vehicle window. Just miles and miles of piss bottles lining the route we took north. Consuming bottled water and then peeing back into the bottle and tossing it out of the side of the humvee like some kind of super weird piss fetish version of Hansel and Gretel. Those bottles baked in the sun so they turned super dark yellow/brown and my sergeant would look at them deeply concerned that people clearly weren't drinking enough water and he would not listen to explanations that involved words like condensation

indigi posted:lol sounds like you have to be a real loving idiot to join the military I don't know about anyone else's story but I was a nineteen year old guy stuck in a lovely swamp town in the middle of nowhere South Carolina. This was before 911 and forever war, too. It seemed appealing at the time. I hated every second of it and I've never felt proud of my time in Iraq, it would have been the right thing to do to refuse to go but I was a coward. I got super lucky too and popped a positive UA for cocaine right after we got back and got kicked out early like a couple months before my unit got stop-lossed for a second round in Iraq. It's funny because at the time I thought a general discharge from the Army would be a death sentence, but the only repercussion I've ever had from it is not getting the GI Bill. Nobody's ever asked to see my discharge paperwork lmao

He's been using the paychecks from that work to help make sure kids from his school have food and basic supplies, or help their families pay their bills. Some money has also gone to former students who need help, or to teachers at his school who need a boost. If everyone did a few third shifts stocking shelves for minimum wage we’d end childhood poverty in no time

I sublet a room in a big house for a while years ago and I was getting ready to move and I knew she was gonna stiff me on my deposit mainly because two other people had moved out while I was there and shed stiffed both of them. I ended up just moving out at the end of the month without notice and not saying anything. Got a text on the fifth asking me if I was going to have rent and then on the sixth a whole bunch of profanity filled messages demanding I pay her for the month. I just told her to keep the deposit and she broke into a sob story about how it was Christmas and she wouldn’t be able to buy gifts and I’m like the deposit is a month’s rent you’re not out anything. Anyway I saw the place on Craigslist for six months after that asking for first/last/deposit lmao. loving shitlords. My advice is never live in the same house as your landlord. That’s a lesson I only needed to learn once

SchnorkIes posted:Wouldn't you just sue a tenant who skipped out on the lease and owed you money? It doesn't seem like a great strategy for the tenant unless you're penniless and the landlord couldn't get anything from you at all no matter what. It was a month to month $400/month deal for a room in a big house. There wasn’t any paperwork (stupid for her and stupid for me but I was mid-20s). It was the kind of house that’s desirable because you want to live by all the bars and everyone involved, myself included, was the kind of idiot who made decisions based on that metric. She wasn’t going to sue me and like mentioned the deposit covered the last month in full anyway. That’s why it was so funny to see her try to get first/last/deposit. It just wasn’t the kind of place anyone interested in living in would or probably could float three months rent for move in

food stamp rules are loving bonkers that way. For example you can grab one of those precooked rotisserie chickens if you want as long as it got cold and old first. Anything hot is just right out. but also better hope the grocery store or wherever has a different sku for the cold/old ones or their register might not let you pay for it with ebt lmao
