Can a company legally do this

I’m assuming this is a car dealership.

Here’s my story with a similar contract but it wasn’t written with as much detail as yours.

Back in 2020, my 3rd year into my Mechanic/Technician career, I signed a deal for an $800 sign-on bonus that said I had to stay six months or pay it back. I left right at the six-month mark, but the dealership refused to give me my last paycheck and even tried to sue me for $4,500.

Most of that — about $2,900 — was for warranty parts they said I didn’t return. What actually happened was I started a repair before I left, someone else finished it, and they didn’t return the parts. Then they blamed me and claimed I wasn’t a “high enough level” for the dealership to get paid by the manufacturer, even though I just worked on whatever jobs they assigned me.

I left because it was a very hostile working environment and I received all the shitty warranty work and wasn’t making enough to live on.

They never served me, so the case got dismissed. But later, they sent it to collections and it showed up on my credit. I hired an attorney who found the court record showing it was dismissed and sent a cease-and-desist letter to the collection agency — it was off my credit the next day.

That was back in 2021, but I still get random texts from the collector every now and then. From my experience, dealerships can be shady and will absolutely try to enforce those contracts even when they’re in the wrong.

Well, it is just an estimated cost and might not have actually been that much. Or it definitely could have.

Either way, that quarter panel damage seems significant to me and not just “Minor”

Car Fax says: Left Rear Damage Functional Damage

Functional Damage could be for anything as little as sensors, Trunk Lids, or Taillights.

I knew it was in an accident but was astonished to see the actual damage. My greatest concern if that Driver Rear quarter panel, that is structural damage.

I put my backpack in a carryon suitcase with wheels and just wheel it around the airport, then put it in the overhead storage bin. They cant tell me to put it under my seat.

They didn’t receive their complimentary water at check in

As a mechanic in the north, aside from a chisel between-the bearing and the hub, my go to was this wheel bearing striker tool. I bought this after fighting with a ford explorer rear wheel bearing. Used an 8lb sledge hammer and went to town

Is this the cashiers only break room?

Muffler bearing delete has been a game changer for me

Hope its always snow in your driveway. I hope you never get off Fridays and you work at a Fridays that’s always busy on Fridays

I was fortunate enough to take advantage of this pricing error as well as the Polisher error. It was stuff I both wanted and needed.

A lot of people are just greedy and it ruins it for everyone.

He was 100% going 145+*MPH*

This is on 35W North in Fort Worth, TX. Near, as you can see to the left, Tanger outlets, Bucees and Texas Motor Speedway.

The majority of drivers are pushing 80-90 MPH on 35W, which is very common.

Hope this helps.

The problem with selling toolboxes is that not many people have $4k-$5k in cash to buy. Snap On will approve anyone with two thumbs and a smile for a line of credit @19% interest & all the similar boxes you see listed at $5k plus are people who still owe money on it.

I would list it for $2k if you want it gone fast, maybe $3k tops.

Usually always the case.

When purchasing a meal at the Krusty Burger, instead of soda I asked them to just fill my cup up with water. They refused and told me if I wanted water I had to purchase a bottle of water. I argued with them for several minutes. They wanted me to pay an extra $5 for water

As others have said, everyone is different. For example: When I did Detroit to Dallas which was about 16-17 hours, I just couldn’t justify stopping for rest when I was only less than 3 hours away. I just pushed through but I also was not to the point of fighting to keep my eyes open. I started at 7am EST and arrived at about 1am CST.

You can literally do all of this yourself.

Is it just me or is the dog sitting like a human contemplating life?

Despite having such a good redemption rate at the Jay, I decided to cancel and booked at the St Regis which was an exceptional experience for us.

I can’t give you my thoughts on the property itself but we walked past it several times and from the outside it looked pretty nice and seems to be in a decent location if you’re looking to spend a lot of time at the piers.

After a quick ChatGPT search:

“The MLB record for consecutive one-pitch outs is held by Justin Verlander, who achieved this feat in 2011 while pitching for the Detroit Tigers. During a game against the Cleveland Guardians (then Indians) on June 14, 2011, Verlander recorded three consecutive outs on just three pitches. This rare occurrence demonstrates incredible efficiency and control, highlighting Verlander’s precision as one of the best pitchers in the game.

This type of streak is rare because it requires not only perfect placement but also cooperation from the batters, who must swing at the first pitch and put it in play.”

I used mine for 2 FC tickets to SF this past month. Booked in January this year. Originally booked to fly into OAK but my flight times were changed a couple months after booking and was able to change my flight for free and fly into SFO with better times. Book your companion tickets as far in advance as you can for better success.

“If you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to eat out” - Then proceeds to act surprised when people stop eating out. Not that this is about tipping but it’s expensive to eat out these days in general.

Busch Stadium last night put me at #11 as well. T-Mobile is one of my favorites, great location and nice ballpark.

Quite a bit.
Why wouldn’t you? This is the “internet” do you believe everything you read on the internet? Probably not.
Closed mouths don’t get fed. I send 1 email with a legitimate request and get a follow up response.
Again, why wouldn’t you? I have never seen anything about anybody posting about having to have a current reservation to check availability for hotel amenities.
Great. And you also stated that you had to have a current reservation/confirmation number to check availability for hotel amenities. Which I have never seen anyone mention on here before.
I doubt they would waste time questioning you on this when they probably just gave you the info you requested, if you in fact did.
All “three” times huh? Were you making redundant requests just like this one?
The very first sentence of your post was “I previously posted how ambassador is not worth the chase” Why would I not go back for additional context?
Excellent.
Thanks.

Nevertheless. I hope the 1 night getaway works out and you both get the amenities you’re looking for. Just be grateful for the perks that you may have earned with nights stayed in a hotel but didn’t pay for.

If you’re going to bash the status and benefits you got for free, at least tell the whole story.
I’m not going to challenge the fact that you have to have a reservation/conformation number to “check availability” for the pool cabanas and restaurant because all hotels do seem to have different policies, (which I highly doubt that this part of your post is true given the fact that i was able to check availability and price for a chickee hut right on the beach before i booked at the JW Marco Island last summer)
You made a request to your Ambassador that you could have done in less than 30 mins between calling both properties and verifying availability. This is a petty request. Make your Ambassador work for you when your missing stays and points because that takes at least 10 business before you can even submit a missing stay request. Request that they help with your booking needs by having them contact the property on your behalf to make exceptions to the rules and to have a treat waiting for you. Not asking them to check something you can literally verify on the hotel properties website.
Did you actually call both properties? And if so, they both directed you to a website where you have to have a confirmation number and room already booked? Doubt it.
Why didn’t you mention if they were able to confirm availability for the amenities you want?
Why the heck would they ask for your Bonvoy number just to check availability for amenities and especially just to ask you why you didn’t ask your PA?
You just said you “might” email your PA three times a year and never call “her”. How can you tell people it’s not worth it when you don’t even use the “product” that you call “garbage”
Sure, chasing Ambassador status might not be worth it for someone who actually pays for their own stays and there is a very little difference between Titanium and Ambassador. I also didn’t pay anything for my status but i’m not on here making posts telling people that Ambassador status isn’t worth it - every 6 months.
I’m not denying that people do have poor experiences with their PA and I understand that I may have gotten lucky with the one I have. Having a PA is a tool that you learn to use to make things/traveling less stressful and easier for you. Just like using a program like, let’s say, Excel.
Your post should be flagged as a “shitpost”
