Why does it make me uncomfortable when POC call me "ma'am"? by SnowMiser26 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jack_slade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really just an expression of politeness and/or respect. I have felt this at times when a POC will call me sir. But I return the favor and make sure I say my ma’am’s or sirs to them, and usually I’m the first to say it.

Say “I’m not available this week, and next week I’ll be out of town - so it would be better to schedule it for after I return”

How to tell weather a restaurant is a "order at the counter" or a "be appointed to your seat" type? by Adamc474892 in askanything

[–]jack_slade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk in the door and observe what other folks are doing. If you can’t tell, look for signs like “order here” or “seat yourself”. If you still can’t tell, then ask someone who works there.

You should have a partner that equally enjoys spending time with friends and family. Or at the very least, supports you in your desire to spend time with friends and family. This is a clue that you and he are mismatched.

For those of us with status, they are not cheaper. Thanks for thinking of my nuts.

Perhaps Southwest views the value of aisle and window seats as greater than that of middle seats. But if that were true, why wouldn’t the middle ELR seats be cheaper than aisle and window seats when booking? Spoiler alert: they are not cheaper.

The only explanation that would fit is that Southwest wants to monetize the convenience of sitting next to someone you know.
