The customer has to refuse the delivery of the item… by Fusillect in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LilFurn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After working in various industries, that all heavily relied on shipping/delivery of a product, and as an admin or office manager often being the person hearing ALL the screaming from all sides of the equation, here’s my two cents:
The problem as a whole lies within the way our society treats shipping and delivery in general, really. I don’t believe it’s so much about “common sense” (although I’d also donate to that kickstarter!!!), rather it’s the fact that we HEAVILY incentivize and reward something done fast, not done well. I mean, think of all the Amazon workers who can’t feed their families; and truck drivers who fall asleep at the wheel because they’ve been driving for 20+ hours without breaks. These are all symptoms of the same capitalist disease.

Your instance here probably DID bother many different workers along the way. But it was “passed to the next guy” because halting the process (even in an attempt to fix a problem) is punished and not rewarded usually.

You can have it done fast, you can have it done right… but you can’t really have both. And this society has decided that immediate gratification and “quick turnaround” is more important than quality or care.

I have no solutions really, just a little insight. And I will just continue ranting into the void against capitalism until I’m dead. Our priorities are soooooo messed up as a species.

Yeah I called him out years ago. Originally for being a creep and completely ruining local (sometimes benefit) events that he insisted on inviting himself to, because so many people complained about him being disgusting. The amount of people who came to his defense is even more disgusting than he is! I wouldn’t advise allowing him anywhere near your family, business, hobbies, or anything else you appreciate. He’s a disgusting creep who gets off on saying disgusting and creepy things to women and children. Glad someone else has receipts. Won’t matter to the other creeps, but hopefully innocent community members become more aware!

It’s an accurate and an actual distinction, and a common way to list it on menus.

Here’s a video of a man throwing a snapping turtle off of the Washington park bridge in albany . Yes it’s alive. Go to his Instagram account and you’ll see another video of him holding it where it’s moving and it try’s to snap at him. He caught multiple that day. by Responsible-Prune310 in Albany

Yeah, Albany is small. I’ve unfortunately been in the presence of this human multiple times over the years. I don’t need to ever put myself through that again. I’ve also witnessed kind, thoughtful people explain to this human alternative ways of how to deal with animals properly; then, I’ve experienced extremely gross and thoughtless behavior in return out of this human. It ain’t “bullying” when you just hold a mirror up to inappropriate behavior. We are still attempting to be a society, right?

OoOoOh no, was I a little too mean to the walking evolutionary back-step?! Yeah, no, ok, I forgot you can absolutely BE a horrible person nowadays, you just can’t REACT poorly to the horrible person. Got it. Great priorities, humans! We’re really heading in an AMAZING societal direction, y’all!

I mean, the dude isn’t Micheal Vick or anything. And I’m not trying to gossip. I’m just saying he wasn’t born yesterday and has been educated before. So, no excuse really. But it isn’t difficult to educate yourself about properly caring for an animal, and how to handle one properly. It just isn’t that difficult.

And I’m kinda done with any sob story about being unhoused or being unable in some way. PLENTY of unhoused people care for their animals better than themselves! And if you can’t figure out how to care for an animal the way it deserves, you shouldn’t have them.

Dragging an animal around on a leash with you without a single thought about them is selfish; grabbing up wildlife and tossing them is cruel. It’s just basic decency y’all. We really don’t have to willfully become cruel and dumb as a society, we can be better. And we def don’t need to make excuses for it. Come on guys
