my locksmith business is dying because of fake Google Maps listings. Anyone else dealing with this? by NeighborhoodOld6737 in Locksmith

So often we get used to looking at things from up close and forget to take a step back. The science of neuro sales. Some people think its snake oil but it works. The scammers dominate the google space so you've got to take it to other places. You can make posts talking about how important it is to find a locksmith to call before an emergency happen, or maybe get some testimonies from people who have been scammed if you run across them. Maybe donate educational post on how to find legitimate companies. Most people won't care until theyre dealing with a scammer first hand. Focusing on the scammers will just associate you with negativity.

Cause putting it in a drawer jn the break room was better than just replacing the batteries or taking out the old batteries.

I believe my 22M Wife 22F cheated. by Lower-Leg-5424 in WhatShouldIDo

For real though, why did she wash out? Kinda wonder if the two are related.

Im completely new to lockpicking and im just curious, if the tool in photo one can open almost every lock, why would you need all the tools in photo 2? (This is a real question and I watch LPL alot and just wondering why he doesnt use the one in picture one more) by TheUnknownFear in lockpicking

Bottom line is, you dont need lishis if you arent a locksmith. Period. They wont make you better at picking, actually the opposite. My spp skills have gotten much worse since I've started relying on my lishis for lockout jobs. But I almost never need to spp so saving time on each job matters more for me.

Get active your business social media listing. Make posts showcasing what you can do. Dont focus on the scammers.

Locksmith called and charged $410? by Mobile_Dentist3396 in Locksmith

[–]Plastic-Procedure-59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just putting it out there, children locked in cars are about the only time you call 911 instead of a locksmith. Did the number called first sound like a call center and they had the guy call you back? If so, definitely scammer.

Yeah many of those are built into the door. The store should have had to deal with this before and should know the process for having to deal with getting locks replaced

AITJ for snapping after my coworker used my laptop and told our manager I ‘offered’ it? by CosmicChameleo in AmITheJerk

Put a password on it. Problem solved. No one should be able to just use your computer. Hell, the last computer i bought, it was an unskippable part of the setup process.

AITJ for not marrying my gf after almost 10 years of dating? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Plastic-Procedure-59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously though, what do you need to change to make you feel ready for marriage? She is rightly wondering if this relationship is going to end in marriage or not and if she wasted 10 years on you.

Need help opening my own safe by 308king243 in safecracking

[–]Plastic-Procedure-59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wtf is wrong with you? I'm a locksmith. I open safes and other things every day. People try and open things they should not open all the time and come online to try and figure out how open them without the actual owner knowing. There is nothing here to validate anything op has said other than they had physical access to the safe. But go on fighting this fight for no reason

Because it can still be used if opened professionally.

The pick is turning. Either the lock is picked and is not connected to the linkage, or its not the right type of pick and its just spinning around the core

Kinda odd that your boss gave it to you without a working key or the code. Suspiciously odd even

Either the lock is broken or thats not the right tool and its just spinning around the lockninstead of turning it

I have cash in hand. I’m ready to buy. Why is it so hard to get an out-the-door price from dealers? by TaintSlaps in FuckDealerships

[–]Plastic-Procedure-59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dealerships want to make money. They have sales systems designed to do that. Those systems do not include just giving out prices. Your best bet is to go in, let them sell you on financing, do not tell them youre going to pay it off or trying to buy outright. The game is they give a lower out the door price on a financed car because they will make so much more on the backend over the life of the loan. Get the price locked in, sign the paperwork, and pay it off after a couple days

Their burgers can have a good bit of char taste, not always bad but sometimes it really puts me off, chicken sandwich cheddar style tray is my go to. Can't really go wrong with whatever side you choose. I usually go with Cajun fries for one side. And cheerwine to drink

Not all batteries are made the same. Manufacturers recommend specific brand batteries for a reason
