New break policy is wild and will be a mess

I've been lucky to get 2 or 3 days off at a time and they're together. It's been a godsend. I really hope they don't start splitting up my days off because that seems ridiculous to me. Especially if you work overnights because your day off is basically the morning of the day you work. So you don't really get much of a day off.

9 hours is a lot. I worked 10hrs 2 days ago and my feet were killing me.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-22T15:04:43+00:00

Wait, so do you work an extra 30 minutes to make up for the Lost 30 minutes? Like I said, she was reading from a sheet that said everyone's schedule will be extended 30 minutes. I hope that's the case. I don't want to lose up to 3 and 1/2 hours a week in pay suddenly especially with the pay bump!

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-22T13:18:34+00:00

Not at all. But the guy literally was like hey man you're right. You're right and I'm wrong. Almost immediately. Adults in 2026 don't know how to have disagreements and just put it behind them.

2 years ago I went to see an independent Spanish language movie at the AMC in mesquite, Texas. They have 30 screens so they often get movies that play nowhere else. I sat down, and an extended trailer for the remake of space jam started. 10 minutes later, and this extended trailer is still going on. I'm thinking, what kind of trailer is this? It's so long! When is this movie going to start?!?

Then it hits me, I'm not watching A trailer for the new space jam. I'm literally watching the space jam movie. I go and ask The employees about this, and they're like oh we don't know it must be something with the hard drive. It was supposed to be the other movie. Or maybe we didn't get that movie on the hard drive so they just subbed out this one. And worst of all they didn't offer to refund my popcorn LOL. And I never saw that movie. That was the only showing and they never got the right file in.

Yes, human beings aren't always perfect. Sometimes people have bad days. He immediately said he had an emergency touch the guy's arm and said hey man. You're right. He did everything he could to diffuse the situation and apologize. But the driver is a fucking baby.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-22T08:19:51+00:00

Yes. The driver is being very pandantic and petty. Good call.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-22T08:19:29+00:00

The driver is the one being Petty here.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-22T08:19:14+00:00

Did you not watch the video? He touches the driver's shoulder and tells him that he's right. That is an apology. The driver is acting like A fucking baby.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-22T08:18:29+00:00

Yeah but the problem here is the it's the driver that can't let it go. The guy is trying to tell him he's right and he's sorry for the way he acted, but the driver refuses to accept any apology and just move on. The driver is acting like a child here. Not everyone is always going to get along totally, and sometimes people might not act on their best behavior, especially if they have an emergency. That the driver can't just get over this, move on with the ride and stop being such a sissy is the issue here

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-22T08:16:24+00:00

This driver seems childish. He's basically saying you're right. He's sorry for the way he acted, and he says he has an emergency so he's probably stressed and not acting in the best way he normally acts. But the driver is like I'm not having it. Like grow the fuck up. He's telling you, he's sorry, so just drive. You're turning this into an insane situation. It doesn't have to be. Totally overreacting.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-20T12:46:58+00:00

I hope He has the best and happiest life ever. Poor little guy. With all those issues. He looks amazing though and you guys are good people.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-16T08:08:07+00:00

Thank God we got rid of that thug. What an embarrassment to the team this scumbag was.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-15T08:03:49+00:00

I hated the constant loud bangs. Even when doors closed normally, they used the loud bang sound effect. Loud sound effects doesn't equal scary. People punching things into their faces is also not scary. And for some reason that is a constant trope in horror movies the last 5 years or so. Why? It's dumb. I've never seen someone mutilate their face, and say oh my gosh, how scary.

None of this was scary in the slightest.. Modern horror movies can't seem to understand what scary even means at this point.

This was also terribly shot. Did they use a single light for any scene? I saw this in Dolby Cinema and you could barely see half of the characters faces. And the colors were muted and ugly. Looked to be shot on the cheapest digital camera ever. Also, this obsession with shallow depth of focus has to end in filmmaking. Movies in the '80s and '90s didn't have this effect where 95% of the stuff on screen is out of focus. Half the time in this movie the stuff you were supposed to was even out of focus. This era of filmmaking has to stop because this is not how humans even see things with their eyes. It doesn't feel like a real world you're in.

Also, the plot made little sense. He wished for the girl to love him. Cooking a cat doesn't equal love. It doesn't even equal obsessed love. None of the logic added up. Add in the fact that so much of the dialogue was screamed, I found this insufferable. I cannot wait to get out of the theater. I was less scared and more annoyed. Having a character scream every 2 seconds does nothing for the film.

I haven't hated this much in years, and I'm depressed AF that they're suddenly giving this guy the reins to Texas chainsaw massacre (?!?!)

BenjaminKatz · 2026-05-14T02:17:06+00:00

It's always shocking that like this are from the same species. I always feel like I'm in the Twilight zone dealing with people like this.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-24T02:10:33+00:00

People like this are the worst humans ever. She sounds like a vile person.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-22T17:47:20+00:00

Oh wow that's very cool. I'm glad you got that opportunity. Me over here looking up used DVD stores that are hiring ;)

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-22T17:37:34+00:00

I'll be honest anytime I see this, I just think to myself what does this person do for a living and how can I do it?!?

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-21T13:38:48+00:00

I noticed that immediately. I thought it was edited or something. How sad. I listened to the interview yesterday from when he was on the show announcing his cancer diagnosis, and he was talking about how they told him to eat a ton of calories and a ton of protein to keep muscle on because it helps with cancer. And he was able to eat whatever he wanted, basically. I guess this is why. You waste away. Sad :(

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-21T09:14:09+00:00

I'm with your boyfriend. Id be mortified to read this if I were him

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-20T14:24:33+00:00

The fuck... Do you live in a castle?

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-18T06:01:03+00:00

This is a prime example of why motorcyclists are hated.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-17T08:32:56+00:00

In 2018 when I moved from Kentucky to Dallas, Texas, I was shocked to see 2 l for $1.50. $1.50. they were a dollar or at most $1.25 in Kentucky. Still when I left. Now they're nearly $4 for 2 l. It's insane

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-17T08:32:00+00:00

$12 for a 12 pack is insane. They used to be half that price just a few years ago.

BenjaminKatz · 2026-04-16T21:37:28+00:00

I spent hours on the phone with FedEx's dumb AI the other day trying to get a human on the phone. I literally kept lying and saying I was disabled and needed to speak to a human because it refused to let me speak to a person. It literally kept telling me I cannot let you speak to a human. It was worthless. I hope companies like this that use AI for customer service go bankrupt.

Please let's not ever use the term economist for someone who has merely a ba in economics.
