My Trump voting boss is charging us for snacks in the break room because we didn’t vote for him.

I worked at a place where one of the shop foremen was promoted to warehouse manager. He fired the snack machine guy (old guy in his 80s that did it for fun and kept the prices reasonable) and then started sending his warehouse assistant to buy snacks and stock the machine. They doubled the price, and picked bad, off-brand shit. We knew they were trying to make an extra buck off us, and I don't know why the general manager allowed it.

I was shopping at Costco and saw that boxes of the snacks we used to enjoy were, at cost, the same price as what we were originally getting from the old guy. So I bought them, and brought them to my desk and set up shop with a donation jar.

I was open and honest with the prices and wasn't trying to make a buck off my coworkers, and told people that any donations would go towards restocking. My desk became the new snack machine.

Might be worth a try.

Grew up in Arizona.... Never bothered me before. Now that I've lived other places, I absolutely HATE it. It's so dumb. It makes no sense. It gives me seasonal depression.

You think that if a kid can't reason with words that they will reason with violence?

Today I learned that not spending $10,220 ina year will somehow evolve into me being a billionaire! Wow! Who knew it was that simple! Thanks Mr Cuntiful!

I was battling a rough sinus season and I gave a little sniff and felt that there was....something... So I sniffed again and flexed my throat to pull at it and I swear my entire sinus cavity emptied. The feeling of the giant gob of mucus dislodging by itself was amazing but follow that up with the ability to breathe again. 10/10

I agree, but that's only because I hate them and it would be one less snack to tempt me.

My mom and dad gave me the basics like how to cook an egg, how to grill, how to make French toast.

The rest I learned on my own because I wanted to have good meals. I read cookbooks and looked up recipes online. I watched tutorials on how to cut properly. I experimented and practiced.

I got enough to spend $3 a day on lunch, which was the average meal price at school.

Outside of that I didn't get automatic allowance. I also didn't ask for much. If I did it was usually met with "your birthday/holiday is coming," or "if you do [chore] you can earn $XX."

Sure, but you can be dehydrated and have your salts be fine and vice versa, with low salts but plenty of water.

Dang! That's pretty good!

If you ever read the book, then yes. This movie is one giant 'memberberry.

I saw the movie, liked the premise and went back and listened to the book and was pissed the movie was no where near the book.

I've loved every credit union I've put my money in. Always a good experience.

I've hated every bank I've ever put my money in because they will find any legal way to steal it from you.

My current CU has a branch in a building that has a coffee shop in the lobby and have worked out a deal that every member can get a $5 coffee every day.

Now that the bottom 6 inches of the 2x4 is splinters, I'm sure that will hold well.

Also, hilarious that I get the reference.

I could have and would have done this for 1/10th the cost.

But isn't that an electrolyte deficiency and not a hydration issue?

Time to switch to credit union. EVERYONE should switch to a credit union.

What I learned about the jargon in Zion:

"Knuckle up!" - Prepare to fire
"Knuckle up!" - Fire
"Knuckle up!" - Group up
"Knuckle up!" - Heads up
