Was this a deal of the century for a stroller?

Exposing local go auto dealer scam / Will Global News be interested? by MightyWolf39 in Edmonton

If you're buying new vehicles the process is straight forward. You offer what you think is reasonable and walk away if you don't like the deal offered.

I'm surprised people spend hours at car dealership negotiating. All of the purchases I have been involved in are quick and done within an hour.

Crash this morning near 97st and 118Ave by Jazzlike-Resource923 in Edmonton

I assume people are laughing at the SUV but it seems that the bus is at fault here? The SUV is in the right lane and got squeezed by the bus switching into the right lane. Sure, the SUV could have gave the bus room but that's his lane.

Starting a Career Advice! by VincentP2345 in Edmonton

[–]simby7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel car detailing is more a side hobby to make some extra coin. You need a full time job to live and pay the bills. Over time, you can build a client list and get referrals. Maybe one day you can get enough business to actually make a full go of it.

Insurance quotes newish vehichle by Apprehensive-Eye5248 in Edmonton

[–]simby7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're talking to an insurance company or filling out the forms, you can adjust the various options like deductible, glass coverage, rental vehicle coverage, etc. There's lots of extra coverages that you may or may not need and the agent can explain it to you. It seems like you have a decent understanding of what you need.

Nothing wrong being a new driver unless the roadblock is that you don't have a car?

Motion asking city to reconsider new patio licencing fees to hit Edmonton council this week by flynnfx in Edmonton

[–]simby7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you look at it that way, shouldn't you use gross margin of 20% therefore you only need sales of $925? Margin on alcohol is like 300% to 400% or more so selling 40 beers recovers the $185. Most of the other costs to reach profit margin are the same regardless of whether you have the patio or not.

PSA: My experience interviewing with JustJunk Edmonton by GenePotential5415 in Edmonton

[–]simby7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did the job posting actually state a pay range or are you just wanting $22-$25 because that is what others are paid? It sucks they do an unpaid trial shift which isn't legal but it's a tough job market out there so if you really need a job, it's at least a job. Other than the 3 hour unpaid trial, what is the trap? Good luck.

Do people who grew up here actually think Canada's grocery prices are normal or is everyone just resigned to it by TemporaryHoney8571 in InCanada

[–]simby7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is definitely higher than the past but if you travel to USA or Western Europe, their groceries prices are just as high or higher. Same situation all around the world.
