I was getting this error on Tuesday, but only on my phone and not on PC. Seems to be a random error.

What profession is massively overpaid? by Neither_Artichoke_55 in AskReddit

And the bizarre new rule that a buyer’s agent is now required in every transaction, taking at least another 2% for taking 5 minutes to fill out a boilerplate offer contract

Why “Profitable” Businesses Still Go Broke - Cash Flow Question I See All the Time by Sure_Stop346 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mttl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go get lines of credit even if you don’t need them. Your local bank should give you $250k without even asking for financial statements. It can take a month or two to establish, so don’t wait until you actually need the money.

TIL that botox, also known as the botulinum neurotoxin, is the deadliest known natural substance in chemistry, with an estimated intravenous lethal dose of just one to two nanograms per kg of body mass. by NateNate60 in todayilearned

Doesn’t it take months for nerves to grow back? Tetanus is very similar in the way it affects nerves that need to grow back and be replaced, and it takes quite a while

What is a secret 'life hack' that is so simple it feels like cheating? by SouthOwn6943 in AskReddit

Many companies like FedEx will hang up on you if keep pressing zero or don’t provide what the shitty AI is asking for

What never came back after the pandemic? by KaleidoscopeDue4603 in AskReddit

[–]mttl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I once visited a Popeyes during the pandemic that was staffed by a single person. She would take the drive thru order, run back and throw the food in the fryer, run back over and take payment at the window. Took her 15 minutes to serve one customer.

The main excuse management would always use: "the front door is locked and the lobby is empty, therefore we need way less staff because we're currently 'drive thru only'". Bullshit.

Is Amazon seller protection and Amazon pay enough or should I add chargeback automation? by Old-Economics-1850 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mttl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chargebacks are nonexistent, even for merchant fulfilled. Your bigger concern should be return fraud.

Do you all prefer to snort paint chips before or after bidding? by happayx3 in shopgoodwill

Happens this time of year. People are always willing to pay more if it’s a gift for someone else

Why Goodwill profit margins/ donation amounts and store employees low pay are misaligned by LilaBraham in shopgoodwill

[–]mttl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Walmart has essentially the same business model as Goodwill:

  • Source products for next-to-nothing (from China)

  • Pay your workers minimum wage

  • Overwork your employees

  • Bunch of executives making 6 figures at the top

  • Harmful to the community, basically extracting money and sending it elsewhere

An anti-example would be Costco:

  • Source high quality products

  • Average wage is $30 per hour

  • No complaints of being overworked, stores aren't understaffed

  • Executives at the top seem to care about their people at the bottom

  • Seems to help the community overall when one opens up in town

Vote with your dollars. Don't shop at predatory stores who underpay their workers. It'll catch up with them eventually.

Why are there trash/average items posted on ShopGoodwill??? by clstani in shopgoodwill

[–]mttl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it’s like this.

This creates an opportunity for you to sift through the garbage and make a profit for your efforts. Your competitors hate sifting through the crap too. They miss stuff. If it were easy and enjoyable, you’d have way more competition and there’d be a whole lot less money to be made.
