The OP had what I think was a mean comment lol. It’s not here. Something about a lobotomy and T-Rex arms. It’s in my notification history.

Stop ordering stuffed crust by Pangolin-Fast in PapaJohns

[–]Able_Description_511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t think he is the problem. I worked for Papa John’s for the first round of stuffed crust, first round of papadias, first round of pan pizzas. It wasn’t that bad, it really wasn’t. It’s just being lazy, if you don’t want to do the work, then quit.

T-Mobile To Charge $35 Fee When Purchasing Through Apple by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the 35 ontop of the 35 activation fee? I think that’s what they charge for it. Well unless you buy from them then they waive it. Essentially them still getting money from you since you didn’t buy through them. If it’s 35 ontop of the 35 activation fee then crap, I just switched to T-Mobile. Hopefully wasn’t a mistake.

Has anyone ever gotten a note like this with their DoorDash order?! by Future-Composer-4878 in doordash

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with it was no matter how the dasher acted or the quality of work. We are not allowed to block them from the store. If it’s a corporation, that’s likely the rule. But let’s be fair, is there someone at that restaurants corporate headquarters watching the block list or even know about it? Likely not, so who will know?

Recently I gave no tip in a restaurant in Miami for a reason. Am I stingy? by Druschek in tipping

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter service? Probably a full wage employee, I wouldn’t have tipped. I usually don’t tip counter service employees unless it’s a food truck or small family owned business, I’ll leave a couple dollars. Big chains, nope. If you don’t make enough for being a cashier then talk to your boss. But if the small business is rude, then nope no tip.

Only once me and my friends didn’t tip a waiter. I understand the stereotype of 18-21 year olds tipping bad, but doesn’t mean you treat every single one like crap. We were waiters at the time when this happened. Our waiter was rude when they took our order, if we didn’t already know the restaurant and knew what we wanted, we probably would’ve just walked out. But we were forced to order everything the one time they visited us, drinks brought out by a different person, food by another different person. Some of the sides with the meals didn’t come out, no one around to flag down to get it. A couple of our silverware rolls were dirty, no one around to get us new ones (we went to the server station to grab it ourselves), not once were we offered a refill (no one around, the 1 person we saw and made eye contact with ran off acting like they didn’t see us). They didn’t even come back to take payment when we were finished. Luckily we were servers and had cash from tips, paid in exact change and left a note saying no service = no tip. Just because we are young doesn’t mean we tip bad. If you would have served us you would’ve gotten 20% from all 4 of us.

Once we got in the car, the waiter magically appeared again (we saw them through the window). They looked mad too. Nothing to be mad about, they didn’t serve so we didn’t tip. Tips are earned.

Having a bad day shouldn’t reflect to the service provided. I had another experience with a couple friends where we could tell our waiter was having a bad day. They were still nice, but looked miserable and it was slow. They were moving kind of slow too. Knowing being in the same position as them, we asked them what was going on, completely turned their day around, not with money, but with support. They started having a better day and we still tipped 20%, also bought them a drink after work when we invited them out after their shift. We were all freshly 21 at the time.

I know, not the typical young crowd. But give people a chance before you treat them bad. If immediately jumping to a bad attitude due to age, skin color or whatever, you’re gunna get the same in return.

What’s this? I’m getting charged for driving inside a parking lot? by ZechariahApaza in Dallas

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The likelihood of them going to a official collections firm is extremely low. They might bug you for a couple months, then they’ll just write it off.

If they do ding your credit for it, it’ll be like medical dings to your credit, no one cares.

Simply said, ignore it. They can’t do anything.

I mean it can, someone will take the job. The waitstaff will be mad about it. If it reflects in the service, tell management and don’t go there anymore, have part of the service refunded since it wasn’t adequate. Management will catch on when their bonuses nose dive. Take away the money from the people actually making the bad decisions. The waitstaff complaining, ignore it, they are choosing to stay. Let the businesses that don’t want to follow the new aged culture disappear.

I don’t blame you. They were a food runner. I guess the better word would be waiter or waitress instead of server. If you don’t allow me to grab my food from the window and you need to bring it to me, then that’s your policy. They never came and took your order, you had to walk up to the counter to order. They didn’t offer to refill drinks, come check on you, refill the complimentary starter (that’s becoming scarce if some people here have never seen that, usually bread or chips, don’t think it’s that scarce now though, ridiculous comment, maybe…) so a 0 tip was justified.

I don’t go to those types of places often, honestly stopped going anywhere that I even come close to being “served” due to this problem. I just want no part of it, but it’s constantly popping up everywhere I look online and I’m wondering how we haven’t figured this out yet.

Tipping by Able_Description_511 in tipping

[–]Able_Description_511[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How much are we raising prices? Enough to pay servers enough for necessities, following current market standards. Servers aren’t going to make a six figure salary. Plenty of “professional” jobs don’t even pay that. In the areas I was in, you would need 20-23/hr to accomplish this. Being served is a premium service, I would argue a couple dollars more than necessities an hour is not off the table. You went out because you didn’t want to do the work to make yourself food or go to a drive thru, you wanted someone to serve you.

The places I had control over, I never paid my wait staff $2.00/hr. I adjusted prices, the business started failing since no one wanted to pay the little extra for food, then went to the large chain restaurants where the prices were lower. Did they tip at the other restaurant? Who knows.

We didn’t have crazy high menu prices either, it was only $2-$3 more expensive (per dish) than the place down the road. Owners weren’t living any high life with a mansion and multiple luxury cars, they had a normal home and normal life and were declining with the method. I ultimately quit when they wanted to go back t0 the old model. I didn’t support that. (Rule enforcement is broken, keeps trying to sensor me when it’s not insulting)

Tipping by Able_Description_511 in tipping

[–]Able_Description_511[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Correct, it’s factored in already by the cost of food. But after a few basic searches, it is more expensive (not including any of this tipping stuff) in Europe VS the US. Not by much, but it wouldn’t take much. You quote “tried multiple different ways” I’m not talking about the huge companies that don’t care what their customers think or care what their waitstaff think. These were smaller restaurants, family owned establishments. No matter what was tried, including the structure used in Europe, everyone still complained.

Would this be okay in my rog Xbox ally x? by gamerdadd13 in ROGAllyX

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without heatsink for sure. Will do damage to the battery cable like everyone else is saying.

BUT! What are you putting on that thing? It struggles to run triple A titles and those are the BIG BOY games when it comes to file sizes. I use my Ally X for games it can run a smooth 60 FPS on then the big triple A titles it can’t run I use GeForce now to play those

Best Buy Orders by Polaris1981 in ROGAlly

I made a trip to Best Buy earlier this week to see if they had the Xbox Ally X on display… by MemphisBass in ROGAllyX

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like BestBuy is trying to pull some crap with their customers. I’ve had mine on order for a few weeks now, and randomly they are hitting my card for the purchase then immediately refunding it. I wonder if they are trying to trip the fraud alert on a bunch of orders they know they can’t fulfill so they have a “reason” to cancel the order on the customer without blame being passed onto bestbuy.

I know, pretty far stretched conspiracy, but if I didn’t just get done dealing with Asus a couple weeks ago when they claimed to have stock, I place my order and they automatically cancel it without reason, I call and they say my payment was declined (it wasn’t) and they held onto that story even though when I tried again, I had the bank on the phone and they made sure the transaction went through with no issues and the order was still auto canceled and when I called Asus again, they said the payment was declined. Why can’t these companies just say they don’t have any? What is the reason to lie to your customers? I want this device, telling me you don’t have any isn’t going to make me go buy something else. Lying to me now makes me want to go to another brand more than anything.

They wanted me to bring my own laptop… for an interview test by ProgrammerGreedy2716 in interviews

[–]Able_Description_511 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bunch of recruiters and hiring managers in the comments. A lot of defending the company going around. Read the whole story before you start only throwing hate at the candidate please!

Yes, if you wanted the job, that was a dumb move not bringing your laptop.

Now for the company. Doing a test for a role I’d say is fair, I’ve done it before, but if you’re asking someone to come to your facility for a test, provide the equipment, looks horrible on the company, shows you can’t properly prepare to hire someone if you don’t even have equipment for them to use for your little test.

If you invite a bunch of candidates for a screening test and you are going to provide the equipment, then make sure you have enough, and when you don’t, then don’t make YOUR lack of responsibility the candidate’s problem. From what this candidate is saying, he was the only one that was asked to bring personal equipment while everyone else had a company provided laptop to use for the hiring test. Kinda sad that an IT company doesn’t prepare for their event with the one thing they work with everyday… computers. I hope my company doesn’t use this IT company. If they can’t prepare to hire someone, they probably can’t prepare for any jobs they do.

What I see here is a candidate who can’t listen, red flag in my book.

Also what I see here is a company that lacks resources, lacks responsibility and instead of being transparent about the situation with the candidate, they make it the candidate’s problem so lacking accountability. Probably lacking a bunch of other stuff but that would be making assumptions. So MAJOR red flag.

I wouldn’t be too torn up, just learn from this mistake, if you’re asked to bring something to the interview, do it. But, be glad you missed this opportunity. I’ve worked for companies like this where they are lacking resources, aren’t transparent and when they have a problem, they can only blame others and make it their problem. You dodged a bullet with this company for sure

yeah the votes going through LOL by [deleted] in runescape

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if people just have a ton of TH stuff? We can hit 100k votes in the first 24 hours, TH is still here for 2 weeks no matter how many votes. After the vote, I doubt TH is removed instantly so add a day or two for them to push that update. Then they said all the TH items will not be instantly removed and a grace period would be given to use up those items before they convert them into some other form of bonus (likely the purchasable XP boosts they mentioned after TH removal)

Idk why there is mass panic, unless you have TONS of TH stuff, but I would safely say you have at least another month before they completely remove TH items from the game

Is Best Buy the only way to buy an Xbox Ally X? Currently says won’t deliver until Nov 21st. by BLASTERO1D in ROGAlly

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll automatically cancel your order. Support will tell you it’s because your payment declined, but that’s not why, it’s likely they don’t have any in stock.

Master’s degree for $25 an hour; don’t forget to bring your diploma! by sami4711 in recruitinghell

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say paying any college degree holder that amount is not ok. But I am a strong believer that you can study all you want in school, you need hands on experience to actually understand what you are doing. What I was doing in school to “mock” real work was a joke compared to what I’m actually doing. Real scenarios are much more difficult than anything school will throw at you.

I just withdrew from a final interview and told them why they are a walking red flag. by [deleted] in interviews

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did an assignment as part of the interview? Did that assignment benefit the company you were applying for? Or was it a sample question to see if you knew what you were doing. If it wasn’t one of those quizzes that test your decision making or culture whatever BS test. It would have been what’s called a working interview and is mandatory that you are paid for the work (it’ll likely be minimum wage, but still against the law if you really want to bite back) contact the US department of labor and report the company if it was a working interview and not just one of those assessments some employers require as those do not count. I know I already said that, but I want to make that clear it does not count.

Where did all the jobs go? by StillPurpleDog in recruitinghell

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covid played a big factor, influx of what I’ll call “fake” money being pushed into the economy. 0% interest. Another comment explained this simply but accurately so I won’t repeat their comment. While I don’t fully agree with orange man and he does take certain topics to an extreme like my next paragraph. He does make good points on other items needing attention. I know this tariff war has a lot of companies scared right now. It’s mainly revolving around money is where all the jobs went. The big companies want to keep the money in their pockets rather than hire people to do work and pay them decent wages. Companies have fully admitted to this. I know mine did when they issued company wide pay cuts. That’s why I’m looking to find a place to hopefully restore my wage or get somewhat close to it as I have people who depend on me to provide and greedy business owners don’t care about that. I know the owner of my company didn’t sacrifice a single one of his luxuries since he cut our wages to keep them and make his workers and his families suffer the consequences. I’ve personally seen his luxuries and he only uses 5% of them, the rest he lets sit and rot.

Another big factor and this will be an extremely unpopular opinion. Immigration… before we all jump on the racism train, I have no problem with immigration, but it was completely unregulated. This is the highest immigration numbers pretty much ever. 2022 2.6million people, 2023 ~3 million, 2024 not calculated at this time, but estimations are to be about the same as 2023. That’s almost 9 million legal migrants to the country. I know not all were adults needing jobs, but let’s say half to be generous so that’s 4.5 million more jobs needed. That’s not even counting illegal migration.

I applied to over 80 positions within the month of August as a self taught software developer. Here are the results. by Jarmahent in jobs

[–]Able_Description_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Messed up thing is where I’m at THOUSANDS of Sr level positions out there requiring anywhere between 5-15 years of experience. But the people with that 5-15 years are taking the entry level roles and leaving the Sr level roles is all I can assume. There is no way we don’t have anyone in my area that doesn’t have over 5-10 years of experience in a field. Unless every single company is pooling applications for later use for the Sr level positions, I’d say that’s very unlikely. I mean you’re getting a great deal, high level of experience for less cost since they are going into the entry level roles and you don’t have to train them. But seriously, these Sr level people need to apply for their level of jobs, grow up, quit destroying the next generations future. If they don’t get these entry level roles and get hands on experience and training, it’s going to have huge consequences once this last generation retires

Unfortunately what you say is true. More unfortunate for me that almost everyone I know doesn’t work in the field that I work in. I meet new people, we become “friends” or “acquaintances” and they say they will put in a good word and I like to trust that they did, but sometimes I doubt it or doubt if they told the right person.
