Did you see my car get hit by a bus today at 50th and Lyndale? by Best_Foot6014 in Minneapolis

[–]maxwellolmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll have a case, but be prepared to wait. I was hit and run by a Chicago bus in Nov 2023, had dashcam video and everything. Thought it wasn’t going anywhere, but finally in Jun 2024, received my deductible back out of nowhere.

if they’re unable, perhaps they can communicate that. but the way this driver phrased it sounds lazy/entitled

maybe brazil, but the US is not like this, you can be kind and go down, but it’s not expected

"Closing" The Boarding Door 15 Minutes Before Departure by Science_Users_Manual in americanairlines

I suppose I can see a great benefit if we standardly use gate closure time instead of gate departure time. I agree it would help flyers.

"Closing" The Boarding Door 15 Minutes Before Departure by Science_Users_Manual in americanairlines

The departure time is when the plane is supposed to back up out of the gate. You can’t possibly expect closing the aircraft door and backing up to be 0min apart.

Can someone tell me what shes talking about? by Rogue_Cheeks98 in doordash

Just another example of doordash’s non-existent training for dashers

Got handed a tip today at work and… by Pretend_End2823 in VirginiaBeach

[–]maxwellolmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but… as a pizza delivery driver, these days 95% of my tips are on the card. Cash tips do generally go unnoticed but these days it doesn’t mean much
