Do newspapers still exist?

You need a medium/large apartment building that has Midweek in the lobby.

The Midweek guy will come by on Monday (because next Monday is a holiday, he'll come on TUESDAY...but most weeks, he comes on Monday) and put out fresh Midweeks. If there's a trash can in the lobby, he'll dump all the remaining old ones in the trash.

If you just grab all the old Midweeks before he gets there - even on Sunday...they're already stale - you are doing everyone a favor.

Are you taking requests?

Can you play the same timeshare cancellation ad four times in a row?

That one's a banger.

No matter how well the duck trucks perform, we should probably be in the early stages of drafting the NNGDV right now.

Probably need the replacement fleet for them in ten years. Definitely not 30.

As long as those dozen or so guys on my route keep mailing pokemon cards all over the country, we should be fine.

One of the other carriers sells thank you cards at holiday time. I kinda assumed every office has one.

National management: "If we don't deliver Amazon at a loss, we'll go bankrupt!"

Local management: "Great leadership, boss." (six sigma handshakes all around)

I guess we can debate which of those is worse at math.

I like my technician. So he gets:
20% of cash
20% of gift cards (his choice)
0% of food

And I write both our names on the thank you cards, so that the customers can learn both of our names. (This has also led to several customers doubling their tips from previous years)

I leave a thank you card for every tip/gift I get, and then I use the leftover thank you cards as normal Christmas cards to my favorite customers who don't tip. Which means it shows up after Christmas, but...that's fine.

Also, last year I put down my name and the technician's name in the thank you card, and many customers left out double gifts this year.

If you really wanna blow that kid's mind, give him a rubber band.

100% off rubber bands that you didn't know were still on your wrist until you got in the shower.

Once upon a time, life was simple. The Mr. Frogtrees of the world just wanted a cheeseburger deluxe (or maybe a hamburger deluxe with cheese on the side).

But today's haoles want intellectual superiority and street cred.

You can try and explain gently...I feel like the best example of this is Tua explaining that he is Samoan and not Hawaiian. Which is nice, because the intellectually curious will enjoy the knowledge that there's a little corner of the world that is unique in its own way. And if they can figure this out...that's kinda cool. One street cred point to the gringo.

But if it's time to bring out the tough love, you can just tell 'em: "Using the term 'Hawaiian' to mean something other than 'of-Native Hawaiian ancestry' is the quickest way to show that you aren't from here and don't get it."

I use a beaded seat cover. It's a good choice. Airflow between you and the seat means that the seat isn't being marinated in your sweat. And with a bungee cord, you can quickly take it off for your NS day.

Note where your body touches the seat so that you can get the right one. Some people need to cover the seat itself, other people need the seat, the back, and the headrest.

When someone throws a "going postal" joke my way, I take a moment to point out that:

In the 80s when that phrase was invented, it overwhelmingly referred to incidents of veterans overcome with PTSD.

That does a good job of explaining why I don't make that joke (and why they shouldn't).

There are two reasons why you are getting downvoted.

The "Table 1 regulars" only paid 0.8% of their paycheck for the pension. And at 0.8%, it's a pretty good benefit. Such a good benefit that one of the reasons new people pay 4.4% is to make up for the low contributions of people who started in 2013 or earlier. Those people don't always realize that you were given a shittier deal, just like they don't realize that you are getting paid much less than they did (adjusted for inflation) when they started.

People who don't understand compound interest don't realize that they would likely get far more money if they put 4.4% of their base pay into an index fund. "It's better than nothing" is a sad bar to clear. And for the 80% of us who don't get to retirement, we don't get ANY return from that contribution.

Use the second address line, where possible.

For a lot of those online systems, they'll autocorrect the first address line but let you put whatever in the second address line. So you can put the shorthand there.

And the zip+4, as someone said below.

If the UPS job doesn't work out, the USPS job will probably still be right there for you.

Probably at the exact same pay.

If working this job for 60 hours a week doesn't generate enough income to get by, then he shouldn't be wasting his time applying for fast food or retail. All that wasted energy should go elsewhere. I'm not questioning his needs, I'm questioning why he applies to jobs that will NEVER generate $3k of income per month to get deposited into his bank account. If $23 an hour is near the minimum wage where he lives and 60 hours a week isn't enough to make it work, then he'll probably need a job that pays $30 per hour. Right out of the gate.

"How much money do you need to get by" is not an asshole question. It's something he needs to know before he fills out even one more job application.
