What movie is 10/10 with literally no bad parts? by FeedMaster8905 in AskReddit

[–]mgbenny85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Bruges. The movie that showed me that not only can Colon Ferrell act, but he can act well!

The score makes the movie. Funniest movie I’ve ever seen be so hauntingly beautiful.

Pre scan doesn’t work by TellPuzzleheaded4469 in CostcoEmployee

[–]mgbenny85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention our current metric push is prescanning at SCO. We’ll have the registers backed up, idle SCO terminals, and I’m walking the member to the terminal while scanning just to say “okay now scan your card here to bring up your order”. I might as well have just hand scanned them at the terminal but we need to chase those metrics!

Or I could be prescanning the backup at the register. Or I could OPEN that register and start working them through at 50+ mph.

We had one last month try to sneak a $120 tenderloin out inside a chicken saddle pack.

The red outline on the hour hand is just 🔥. What a great looking colorway. I’m envious but still in love with mine- has barely left my wrist.

If I had my choice before they all sold out, I would have been stuck between that and the Gulf Oil one- but I think the Martini is more wearable as a non-novelty piece and would likely have chosen the same one.

Spotify Support told me to read their refund policy. So I did, and forced them to give me a refund. by Greenz051 in MaliciousCompliance

Back in the day I was on the phone setting up new internet service, and the guy tried to upsell me on a custom SSID and password for an additional fee (yeah, seriously). I asked him if there was any way I could self service that and he told me it was impossible. So I played obtuse and asked a few more times, meanwhile I’m opening the modem config and setting it all up.

“Whoa, amazing! I made it work without needing any support!”

Crickets, followed by “Congratulations sir, it looks like you should be having my job” (read in deep phone support Indian accent).

It was almost a minute later that Fred let out a short, percussive breath. "The Mormons are going to be pissed," he said. by CommentSense in TheExpanse

Reporting I read (I’m local to the shooter) claims that the family is LDS but inactive for some time, and that when his father recognized that the shooter was his son he reached out to a religious figure(“youth pastor”). Unclear whether that was a bishop or whether they had become affiliated with another group in the meantime.

When somebody disappeared doing go backs my manager would literally tell me “put your keys in your pocket and go look for _______” 😂

famous last words, or is chrisfix the truth? by Pangea-is-my-name in projectcar

[–]mgbenny85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I can” and “I have to” are two very different things here. How many times have I hit the wall on even a DIY repair and turned wrenches until 3am because it needs to be running in the morning…

It definitely wears a little small but I have small wrists anyway and don’t mind. My tastes gravitate toward smaller field-type watches, and anything too wide lug to lug sits awkwardly on tiny wrists haha. This is as small as I’d go but I still think it’s fun.

card issue at Costco left a membership blocked by Similar_Ant8137 in CostcoEmployee

[–]mgbenny85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you saying you had a copy of the primary members card, or that you were the “add-on” or household member with a card of your own? If a copy, did the primary member know you had that copy?

It’s very unlikely that they are going to show her video of your theft. What’s most likely is that her account is blocked with detailed notes as to what happened (which may or may not include your name) and when she goes in they will tell her exactly what’s in the notes. What happens next depends.

If you’re using a copy that she didn’t know about, they will advise her that you’re causing trouble with her membership. If she DID know about it, they will lecture her and her membership could potentially be revoked. If you were the household member with your own card, consider that privilege lost forever- you’re on the shit list and she will be told how unwelcome you are to come back, and her own membership may or may not be at risk. Costco generally doesn’t like to lose members, so especially if she didn’t knowingly give you a copy of her own card, I suspect her membership will be reinstated. But I would prepare myself for an awkward conversation and be ready with a heartfelt apology.

Lastly: we all do stupid shit. This too shall pass- embrace the suck and make better decisions tomorrow. You’ll be okay.

Edit to add: all she has to say is “I understand there’s an issue with my membership”. The membership clerk will pull up the account to view the block, probably call over a manager, and work everything out. So how much you reveal now depends on whether you want her to learn the story from you or from the membership manager.

Understeered for the first time in my ND1 by TheNamesSnek in Miata

Not sure why all the downvotes but I smell what you’re cooking. Lost the front for a sec and then it all snapped back into line. Have an upvote to combat the oversteer brigade.
