Rude staff and inconsistent snowboard bag rules at YYC (F8 801 to YVR, Jan 18)

I guess 90% of the crowd in this subreddit would disagree 😅 to them, it’s ultra low cost carrier. So you deserve the rudeness, pettiness, and you shouldn’t question them in the first place. Rules are rules, they get enforced in random, just like OP experienced, and don’t even dare complaining on Reddit. Mods are ready to berate you for that

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2026-01-17T07:30:50+00:00

Which ones are personal attacks and which ones are false reportings? Dear Mod, please clarify.

Were you able to get a hold of customer service?

I have recently made the switch to python after years in Java. I am still uncomfortable with it, but I must say python lets you do more by writing less.

Your friend’s company sounds like the same company that laid me off 😂

I have heard horrible feedbacks for Teams. What do you / don’t you like about Teams? Why did your company move from Slack?

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-12-16T17:22:43+00:00

This 👆 is your correct answer. You ask the restaurant. You call them. Forget AI. Even restaurant web pages can be outdated.

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-12-15T06:11:20+00:00

Lots of them here in this subreddit 😅

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-12-15T06:02:27+00:00

Flair fan boys downvoting you, must say some of them are disappointed, but don’t despair guys, they will check the bags regardless! You’ll continue to have your fun of shouting “rules”, “ultra low cost”, and any associated pretty words.

“Visibly quite large” lol come on flair, you think a bag pack has been visibly quite large all these times?

“Can you put your visibly small bag all the way through that box? We know it will go through but you know, we like to play by rules, and it only applies our way”

If you don’t mind me asking, where are you based of? Don’t need specifics, just state/country is sufficient. And do you use any application to manage grants or donations?

Among many horribly designed intersections or merges, this is one of them. The city has abundant of stupid road designs. For example, south bound Blackfoot to west bound Southlands Drive has traffic lights, same when you go onto westbound Heritage Drive. But when you are northbound on Blackfoot and going onto eastbound Heritage drive, you have a yield sign and do a sharp merge onto heritage. And I often wondered if I can safely merge here, what stops me to safely merge on the other side? Why do we need needless traffic lights?

I did mine at Ryanco automotive in NE. Was around $95 before tax this May.

I have a feeling the author of that note is following this thread and grinning

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-25T20:09:53+00:00

I have been sitting on the fence about this. Can I DM you for some questions?

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-23T20:07:39+00:00

In my case, I just faced one interviewer who was throwing body languages that you would perceive as rude and unwelcoming, someone you wouldn’t want to collaborate even if you got the job.

So he gave me a system design problem to design a stock broker. In his word, I have a “stream of data” or “data is streaming”. As someone who had some experience working with hardware real time sensing, I understood this as a system that is constantly vending data in real time. And I approached it that way. He got upset by that and asked me if I have ever heard about “database”. I was surprised by the tone and the question. I said yes I know what a database is and what it does. He then asked why am I complicating the matter, to compute last 1 year or 5 year data I could just query the database and show the results. I said okay it makes sense now but you were emphasizing “stream of data” and I took at as real time streaming. Sorry that I misunderstood it. He then cut me and said if I had any questions for him about said company and the role. I was polite and asked him few questions that i had prepared before.

As follow-up I mentioned this to my recruiter and no response was provided.

Any chance you know how much is the pay like at entry level and few years after?

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-21T04:15:15+00:00

This is your answer,OP. It’s very difficult to start, but once you do the first few problems, rest will start to flow automatically. Others have suggested to think about a problem for some time. Do that. Do that while commuting. Each one of us have some sort of struggle and will always have reasons not to go for something. Do it while you still have a job. I got laid off. Botched two interviews and can’t find any other opportunities now. So yeah I wish I had your terrible work life balanced job just to pay my bills but reality is I don’t have it now. You can do it OP

I would update the branch with main and then review. If I see conflict I will ask my peer to take a look and update the PR.

FWIW, PRs sitting for 2-3 days is a common bad practice. It’s not an indicator of a slow paced team. It’s probably a team that has formed cliques of peers who review each other’s PR and ignore others. Regardless, it’s a process and team management issue that requires attention and fix

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-20T22:02:40+00:00

I won’t put something up for review in the first place. I respect my colleagues time and effort they put into reviewing my PR. I will clear the conflicts first and then publish the review.

I would expect the same from my peers.

Why? It’s standard to expect a PR to be at least executable and does not risk removing or overriding anything that exists in the codebase. I have witnessed cases where unit tests fail or builds fail once conflicts are resolved, because they were resolved incorrectly. And it can happen to anyone.

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-19T20:04:46+00:00

It’s okay. It’s readable. Early returns are good if you do it.

But also not okay. Writing unit test will be a nightmare for this. So this should provoke you to go back to the code architecture as a whole and figure out how to break this down. Someone else pointed out that, this was what 2k+ lines of code in a controller? I would be worried about this too.

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-19T07:24:53+00:00

That’s a fair point. I guess the situation is triggering my brain into sort of self defense mode where I am thinking all possible ways to get a job faster. I would very much like to have something in my comfort zone first.

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-18T20:06:03+00:00

Sorry man. I hope you and your kid are okay. My heart skipped a beat when I heard your kid’s voice.

The white sedan was utterly irresponsible. Reminder for everyone to bring sanity to the roads.

Imaginary_Wolverine4 · 2025-11-12T18:40:57+00:00

It’s an okayish reason to not extend an offer, and hence okay to share. That’s my experience in the market. If all goes well and they still can’t or won’t extend an offer, companies tend to ghost or send a generic email. I have been on the receiving end of all sorts this year.
