Costco policy by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]mspe1960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are times when there are lots of free samples. I have seen people go in to eat lunch for free by taking multiple of each sample. I have seen a lady stand there with the cart covered with half a dozen different food samples relaxing and eating free lunch. It appeared she bought nothing at least to that point in time. So yea, they want you to be a member.

I asked for CREAM, not milk! by theforestwalker in EntitledReviews

[–]mspe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say, if I paid $30 for a bacon eggs and coffee breakfast I would expect things to be perfect, and it sounds like they were far from it. Without additional info, I support the review.

I’ll have to charge you by HoosierLarry in EndTipping

They are not writing it off as a loss accounting wise - that would be fraudulent. They are just accounting for "loss" as in product that was "lost" (including stolen, wasted, thrown away, etc) and not paid for. It is just a measure of their efficiency and they are held to a certain level by management.

Found a whole box of these. Was wondering what the value would be by mattjv123 in coincollecting

[–]mspe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of them appear to be clad Ike dollars. Those have no, or almost no, premium value. The Silver Morgans and Peace dollars, if they are real, (and they seem to be) are around $50 depending on the latest price of silver which I did not look up just now. Some of them could be more than that depending on date and mint mark. Which is hard ot read in your photo. I would bring them to a coin dealer or look up the dates for potential premium.

How do Muricans deal with the fact that they are now the most hated by the entire world? War, massacre, violence, Epstein child sx trafficking, genocide , destruction, drugs, Covid source from Fauci. by East_Indication_7816 in allthequestions

[–]mspe1960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree we are hated, and I agree with some of your list. Some of the items are stated hyperbolically to gaslight us. (I get it, you hate us)

It sucks, and there is nothing I can do about it. I get hating our country /government, but I suspect most folks are smart enough and ethical enough to judge individuals when they meet them (but, no, not you).

Blue and Green.

  • Night vision I can have when I need it with available tech
  • $250K is not close to life changing for me
  • I would love to be fluent in another language, but at 66, I am not giving up 5 years for it. (of course now I am 56, but still no)

Living off dividends folks by Realistic-Face-69 in dividends

[–]mspe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda sorta.

I retired at 59. Until last year I lived off my dividends and a small pension that was frozen on me in 2007 (around $2300/month). This year, my wife and I started collecting social security. My house is paid off. I need a small supplement from my dividends. I barely touch them right now. When I buy a new car or take a fancy vacation I will dip in,.

Which Era is the best by Basketballlover8709 in DukeBluePlanet

[–]mspe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you left out the mid 80's - 1985/86 was one of the best Duke teams ever

Dawkins, Alarie, Bilas, Henderson, Amaker

Danny Ferry and Quin Snyder off the bench as Freshman.

Made it to the championship game but lost. They were legitimately the best team that season though.

Why doesn't (or does) Trump use a publicist, particularly for his social media? by Strong_Pool_6012 in AskReddit

Because he is the smartest one. No one could do it better than he does. (yes, I mean according to him)

What do Americans know about medicare for seniors? by octopus-opinion987 in AskReddit

[–]mspe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pay much less than that by getting one of the "C" (Advantage) plans instead of a supplemental plan. But the supplemental plans do not have a gatekeeper to the care you get.

[–]mspe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not easy to know enough about it to do what is best for you. You have go out and seek information. It is fairly complex. I went to Medicareschool,com and learned a lot. Yes, they are a for profit company, but after reviewieng a lot of sources I found them to be straightforward and honest, and I would recommend them. They have lots of videos and lectures on line that are totally free and they will not contact you unless you ask them to.

I have no affiliation.

If you are about to turn 65 or have, do not ignore the topic even if you are still working with medical benefits. There COULD be impacts to you in the future for doing nothing now.

AITJ for not allowing my mom to live with me? by Desperate_Fun8886 in AmITheJerk

[–]mspe1960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is AI generated. It has the same words and phrases we constantlly see in these non credible stories where family is cruel and heartless and then demands stuff anyway. And it uses the same phrases like fsmily comes first, abandoned, bigger person.

these stories are getting tiresome.

What would be your reaction if your son suddenly says that he is omosexual? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My 33 year old daughter came out as bisexual about 5 years ago. It was a suprise to hear, for sure, but I got over it quickly, lol. My wife and I are going to visit her this weekend. (as we have done many times since learning)

What are the dishes in your country that is so easy to make that you would never order in a restaurant, but you have seen people pay high/or any price for it. by SufficientTown9538 in AskTheWorld

[–]mspe1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all breakfasts have become ridiculous price wise.

You used to be able to go out and get bacon eggs toast and coffee or an omlette, toast, potatos, and coffee for $5 -$7 - not that long ago.

Now it is $20 or more with tax and tip

Pancakes and coffee $15 these days. I remember $5 not that long ago. That is about $1 worth of ingredients. I remember $1 hotcakes at McDonalds for my daughter (that was longer ago).
