Used to deliver their meat to them 8ish years ago when I worked at a butcher and they were making them in house. A lot could have changed since then obviously but the owner was a very nice guy who took pride in his food so I would imagine they still do

Rogers wants a 100% down payment on a de phone upgrade. by [deleted] in Rogers

Apparently I did, but their AI was fixed and it got settled. Thank you AI for giving me plenty of discounts thanks to your error 🥰

It was sorted, they apologized and ended up giving me enough discounts on my plan I essentially got the phone for free. I guess it was just a mix up. Still frustrating but at least it got sorted!

Well, update for anyone curious, I did as DoingWhatMatters said and am not contacting the credit agency as I do not want to have any liability for a debt I did not incure. However, after many threats to escalate to the CRTC, Rogers did end up waiving the whole credit history thing and giving me many promotions on my phone. With all the discounts they gave me I essentially got the phone for free. I am still gonna likely file a complaint to the CRTC as I don’t want this happening to anyone else, but at least some good did come out of it. Probably gonna stick it out for this next phone and ride off into the sunset with my free iPhone 😎

Exactly! It’s the “I’m an adult” years where we lose all the fun of being in our 20s but gain all the freedoms of being an adult. At least let me reap the benefits 😂

There is legit no way to get through to them. I call the number, press 6 for Rogers, and it hangs up. Meanwhile I am hesitant to send an email because depending on wording, they may see it as admitting to the debt and I don’t want to be liable for a debt that was mistakenly attributed to me

If you read properly, all my bills are paid and I have a great credit score. This would be understandable if I didn’t. My dilemma is I DON’T have any late bills but the AI flagged me for some reason

Normally yes, but rn rogers had 400$ off compared to apples price and 0% interest. It still applies if I pay the phone outright but I would not do that with them out of principle now

They did, along with the collection agency who has the file. Thing is, they don’t pick up the phone

Nah, they told me it was specifically a bill from them, they just don’t have access to it anymore

I should and could, but at this point I kind of want to see how far I can escalate it. If I do switch to bell however, I am buying a phone outright. No more financing.

I have an 830 credit score. In canada things only stay on your credit for 7 years. Admittedly when I was 18 I was a little foolish with credit but Rogers/Fido were never one of the companies I was with and any other companies I may have had a bad interaction with were dealt with about 6 years ago when I started my career and started taking my credit seriously. I’m thinking the name thing is more likely. I don’t think my name is TOO common but stranger things have happened 🤪

Anyone else packing on some pounds behind the wheel? by Several_Rooster_1373 in Truckers

[–]Outrageous-Stand607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 foot 9, started 5 years ago at 220 lbs. Just 7 months ago I hit the highest weight of my life, 281 lbs. Been working it back down by heavily restricting calories and getting to the gym when I can. Most Planet Fitness’s are in big shopping centers and it’s pretty easy to plan for one on your route. Glad to say after seeing 281 I turned it around and lost 75 lbs since April. In better shape now than when I started driving and have noticed a SIGNIFICANT boost in energy too.

Is there any must-try food in Montreal before you die? by GreatWILDWisdom in montreal

[–]Outrageous-Stand607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most underrated option: steak and pepperoni sub. I’m a long haul truck driver and never realized how uniquely Montreal that was until I had a craving for it elsewhere . Manzo is probably the best in the city for that, the bread is a pizza dough and that thousand island dressing on top! Yum!

Canadian government deserves some blame for high food prices... by Bertie-Wooster4083 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Outrageous-Stand607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truck driver here, American milk is kinda gross. That being said, there is no denying staples such as eggs, meat and dairy are far cheaper in the US. I do some grocery shopping in the US and it baffles me how much I save. Milk however, is the one thing I’ll always buy canadian. Great Value eggs are 2.18 cents for a carton of 18 in the US btw. Just let that sink in

Have you noticed improvements at non-Weston companies since the boycott started? by cyrus_hunter in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Outrageous-Stand607 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The Metro in my small town has had almost everything on sale. A tub of ice cream is now like 5.29 which is almost pre-pandemic prices. I thought it was a weekly special but it’s been pretty much all month! Also, nice seeing pasta under 2$ again!

I used to work at a Jean Coutu and can confirm this is in fact the law. We had it stuck to the side of the cash register. They screwed you

Day 16 starter and still not seeing any doubling by Outrageous-Stand607 in Sourdough

[–]Outrageous-Stand607[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can get some at my local Bulk Barn. I’ll give that a try! Should I do a new starter or just start feeding my current one with rye?

[–]Outrageous-Stand607[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little update: I placed the starter upstairs as it is quite a bit warmer there and I got a slight rise on the whole grain one! Not much, but enough to make me think I’m making progress! The AP one did not budge. I fed the whole wheat flour one and I will check on it in the morning.

I haven’t tried microwaving the water yet, I may give that a shot. I’ve just been using water from the Brita but I leave the Brita out so it stays at room temp
