If you see this username on other instances, it’s almost certainly me on an alt. Kbin.social is my main home.

If I own a magazine you want to own/mod, please dm me! I’m im the process of claiming/deleting old unused mags sitting around kbin.
Damn Talarian’s took me down every time lol.
Elite Force 1+2 are still amazing today too!
Exactly.
And please don’t anyone get me wrong, I’m in no way saying “Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!” or “Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs”, I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain’t-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h’s worth. If you’re in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven’t rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny’s worth of labour above $7/h.
But there’s a difference between ‘doing 125% when you’re being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free’ and ‘well I don’t care about this job so I’m not even going to attempt the literal minimum.’ If you’re getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.
I don’t expect perfection, nor did I ever state that I did. I expect the literal bare minimum of service which in the realm of delivering something means as I said to the other person, taking it from point A to point B. If you take it to anywhere but point B, you have failed the basic task your job revolves around.
I do empathize with them. I make shit money. I work like a dog to feed entitled brats (well I don’t consider my kids entitled but lol…). But if I stopped doing the literal most basic functions of my employment then I’ll be making no money, and not working like a dog to feed entitled brats, because I’d be fucking fired from that job.
If your job is to deliver anything from point A to point B, you need to take it from point A, to point B. Taking it from point A to point C is called “fucking up your job”.
Have a good day.
#1: They probably should as customer satisfaction is a huge part of any business involving customers.
#2: I’m not necessarily talking about UberEats, I stopped using their services during the pandemic when a $15 meal magically turned into $43 by virtue of pure unadulterated magic. This is a problem that occurs even with in house delivery people who I assure you very much have a boss.
#3: I don’t care if anybody involved doesn’t give a shit about my customer satisfaction. I care about people doing their job. I don’t get to hang up on people who call me for help on the phones when their being twats because part of my job is handling those twats. If part of your job is delivering food to a specified address, then do your job and deliver the food to the specified address. Failure to do so means you aren’t doing your job lol.
are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say ‘please come and meet me’ now?
Not in my world lol.
I order it for delivery, you’re arse comes to my door. I don’t care if it’s a house, I don’t care if I live 400 floors up in a space elevator. If the apartment number is on the order, buckle the fuck up, sunshine.
Delivery guys ring my buzzer, I don’t talk to em I just hit the button to open the front door and they can figure their lives out from there. If they call me from their cell phone, sorry kemosabe but I don’t know your number and don’t answer phone calls from random numbers I don’t know.
Food at my door, period. Don’t even have to look at me, you can drop it and run for the hills to make up time for all I care. But it’s at my door or your boss gets a phone call lol.
Edit: Low expectation mother fuckers in these replies I swear. Try not properly completing the one sole task your job involves and see how long your bosses keep you around kiddies. Holy fuck.
Edit 2: lol the copium below is both amazing and embarrassing.
I’d love to continue engaging but I’ve gotta go get a job digging 10’ holes. Might just dig them 5’ deep and assume the boss will be fine with me doing a half assed job like so many in the comments seem to do apparently ROFL. Stay fresh, cheesebags.
kbin.social is run by the main kbin dev, Ernest, so kbin.
Someone elsewhere shared this but:
Go into your ublock origin settings and go to your My Filters section. Add:
www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001)
on a new line and apply. Should stop the delay from occuring.
Ex cathedra, iirc (or something similar).
Underagedrated comment right there!
I’d rather let a crack addict manage my balls than let Musk anywhere near my money.

“…oh…” lol
Lotta words to justify people being turned on by the sight of the underaged.
also seems to me that you should be able to fix them without publicly announcing it.
You would seem to be wrong then lol. News has standards higher than Uncle Joe’s Truckin’ Blog™ or someone’s Aunt’s Facebook post.
Shit like that is when I start keeping notice of good places around the work place to start fucking fires.
(The above comment is not advocating for arson or any other related crimes. It is however advocating for keeping a keen eye out in your work place surroundings, which is sound advice for all.)
As someone who used to work for Applecare, TDM was a bit of a lifesaver on some calls!
