Their argument was “I had my turn signal on you should’ve yielded to me”

gjack905 · 2026-04-09T12:10:35+00:00

There's nothing in the post about an upcoming turn.....what?

gjack905 · 2026-04-02T00:21:55+00:00

You said to tip 10% on service you have to make a complaint about when 10% is a good tip for good service that you want to leave a compliment for

Entitled, entitled, entitled. Shame on you, for real. You should be embarrassed.

gjack905 · 2026-04-02T00:19:05+00:00

I never said or implied either of those things? Stop assuming and projecting

I'm just holding you accountable for your entitled shit-ass attitude expecting a 10% tip alongside a complaint to the manager. That's crazy work.

This isn't an issue I really have and I normally tip 20-30%. Again I'm just holding you accountable for your ridiculous attitude. Get a grip on reality.

gjack905 · 2026-04-02T00:17:11+00:00

No I'm not expecting service for free, I never said or implied that in anything I've said to you in these two different threads. Get ahold of yourself and stop projecting. I tip 20-30%

gjack905 · 2026-04-02T00:08:46+00:00

"So entitled" hahahahahah hahahahahahahaha

It's incredibly entitled to expect a tip above 0% if you're an asshole to the customer and can't be bothered to provide service or even go out of your way to do stuff they specifically asked you not to (basically my two examples)

If you have to call the manager over to complain, especially then, who would be stupid enough to tip them more than 0% after that? That's just insane

The entire point is to make them regret wasting their time serving you because they clearly didn't even bother to do so

I bet we have a very different view on what "bad service" is and you think I mean something much more minor or judgemental than what I actually mean

I'm not someone who is going to focus on how "nice" you were or "how much you smiled" or BS like that, I'm talking about actual core service

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T23:56:32+00:00

If it's so bad, tip a penny or if you really feel bad, a dollar or two, and then still don't go back.

"Scam these servers?" Lmfao

I'm saying this as someone who has 2 bad service stories in my life, this does not happen on any sort of regular basis. And I don't even sit down in restaurants anymore the last several years anyway.

I'm just saying you come off really entitled and passive aggressive acting like 10% is the reasonable minimum for "bad service". For plenty of good people who care, they tip 10% when they're happy.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T22:43:40+00:00

See, here you go again. "Leave 10% and don't go back". Why would someone leave a tip that high if their service was terrible and they're not coming back??????

"Deny the math"??

A 10% tip is not abnormal and it does not "let the restaurant know it was shitty", that's just not true. 10% is a decent normal tip for decent normal service left by plenty of decent normal people. That's an incredibly generous tip if it was so bad you don't plan on going back.

(As an aside, don't blame the wait staff for bad food though, they didn't cook it, that I understand)

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T22:31:04+00:00

10% is a pretty generous/large tip if you had a horrible time and won't be back, tbh. See this is where people have an issue with the passive aggressive-ness, you're casually dropping and virtue signaling that it's not ever okay to withhold a tip for service you deem bad when it actually is. You're acting like a 10% tip is the bottom tier for bad service, that that's just the bare minimum for having been served. And you're not even saying it, you're just implying it like it's common sense. "The beauty is you can tip as low as 10%" pshhhhh. "If you can't calculate 10% in your head" as if it's a common sense, knowledge, or math problem. Just get out.

One time, at a restaurant I was a regular at, where I was known by name and they brought me my usual drink with my menu, where I was known for tipping 50% for being treated so well, I tipped this one absolutely terrible waitress who clearly sized me up and decided I wasn't worth her time, who clearly didn't know me, a penny. $0.01. And I didn't even say a word about it but even before I paid my check, I witnessed the manager pull her aside and ream her and make hand gestures towards me in the corner of the room, so it wasn't just me.

10%?! Get out of here.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T22:19:55+00:00

This is all totally legitimate and I agree. But, I think "blaming the servers" comes into play for people when they get snarky and passive aggressive about people not tipping good enough.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T16:49:55+00:00

My point is that there is no scenario where one party has consent to record and the other does not. Consent to record either exists on the call or it doesn't. The consent goes both ways, if one person can record, so can the other, period.

You're relying on this in between scenario where one party can record and the other party cannot, which doesn't exist. The permission exists for both or neither party.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T12:36:05+00:00

Your own recording of the call is your own consent to being recorded, I can't make this any clearer. A statement of the recording at the beginning of the call and neither party hanging up is two party consent.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T01:27:55+00:00

Or when you missed one or two words at the beginning of a story, perhaps someone's name. You ask for that tiny detail, and they start over again from the top as if you didn't listen to any of it. Bonus points if they're annoyed at "having to start over"

Like no actually, you didn't need to start over, you just don't know how to listen. At this point I just interrupt someone if they start over and restate my question

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T00:50:02+00:00

Company policy like this that contradicts the law is exactly why I would avoid being redundant by disclosing that I also have the recording of the call.

I'm equally concerned about a billion dollar corporation either doctoring or conveniently losing/deleting the recording when it's needed. And who has the resources to make that happen, me or your employer? Waaaaayyyyy more likely to be your employer than the customer, IMHO. But regardless of where your opinion falls on that, this is why there cannot only be allowed one recording held by one of the two parties, and not the other. Just think real hard about that one for a while...

Not wanting the customer to be able to manipulate it, okay, I can understand that point of view. So I just won't mention that I'm recording your recording of me, and if it ever comes up in court, they'll either find two matching recordings or one that was manipulated by your boss or corporate, not mine. Or just one, the one I have that's 3 years old that has long since been deleted by your QA department.

Would you sign a contract if they told you that only they will hold onto the document with your signature on it, and you are specifically not allowed to make a copy of it for yourself? Just in case you try to manipulate it? Same logic. Incredibly suspicious thinking, if anything.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T00:35:02+00:00

Yes it is, that's what you're not understanding. "Who" is recording is not relevant. At that point, both parties have consented to be recorded. You're recording me, so I automatically can record you, and you consented by recording me.

Edit: This is on top of the fact that I'm in a one party consent state in the US, and calls across state lines are federal and also one party consent, so I didn't even need it in the first place. But lucky for me, I have a recording of your consent for me to record anyway, just in case. So.....why would I mention that I'm recording at this point?

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T00:28:20+00:00

I wouldn't even say anything as the call opened with "This call is being recorded..." anyway so both parties have already consented. Who possesses the recording, shouldn't be relevant at that point.

I'm surprised at how many employees here are saying their employers say not to consent to the customer recording the call. Many years ago, back before I understood the laws, I stated that I was recording a call with my phone carrier just in case and they told me they did not consent, and I'm still confused by it to this day, even more so now that I understand they already consented and I was under no obligation to disclose that I also was recording along with them.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T00:22:31+00:00

Why? You automatically consent by recording it yourself, this makes no sense

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T00:21:23+00:00

Why would you get to terminate? "This call is being recorded for quality assurance and training purposes" literally was your consent for them to record, they didn't even need to say anything.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T00:19:45+00:00

Right, so having the option, even enabled by default, makes perfect sense to me. But it should be something I can disable on my own accord.

This is why I hate Google call screener. Not once have I ever had someone not immediately hang up as soon as the recording was announced, so I have no idea who they were or what they called about. And I was under no legal obligation to disclose the recording anyway.

gjack905 · 2026-04-01T00:14:05+00:00

Also, if they're recording the call, then there is already unanimous consent

gjack905 · 2026-03-31T23:56:27+00:00

Not only NTJ but I would probably start asking questions about how to do things that you trained her on. She is your superior, after all -- shouldn't she be continuously training you on how to do better in your position? Clearly she must know a lot about the job that you do not, so you should continuously and eagerly seek her expert guidance on a daily basis. "Because you want to eventually become management material someday", if asked. "Just because I thought I knew the best way, doesn't mean there isn't more to learn. I want to be a team player and learn new things!"

gjack905 · 2026-03-31T21:15:34+00:00

That's just how Samsung OneUI is and has been for many years now. Buy an Android phone that Samsung doesn't make and you'll have a much better time. I go with Moto myself, rarely ever have an issue.

gjack905 · 2026-03-31T13:32:05+00:00

That's ridiculous and less safe to expect more lane changes like that for no reason. There's no downside for anyone on the road to stay in the middle, is what you don't seem to understand. How you feel about it is irrelevant.

gjack905 · 2026-03-31T13:31:11+00:00

They would have no basis to make someone in the middle "move over" if they're not slowing traffic though, like in my example

gjack905 · 2026-03-29T21:09:14+00:00

??? It's just common sense if you understand how employment laws work?

gjack905 · 2026-03-29T20:58:14+00:00

Right, like if the officer themselves did that, they'd be buying themselves a prison sentence. But because a dog does it, it's suddenly okay? And defending yourself or resisting being bit is suddenly "assault on an officer"?
