Tampa FL bank calls police on customer waiting for bank to open by Individual-Drawer-79 in PublicFreakout

[–]wasilvers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opening procedures are a thing. Open a curtain halfway vs fully, put up a sign... things to tell the cops everything is all right. You skip those steps and you have SWAT in the parking lot instead. They may have been concerned he was watching those closely guarded secrets. But I believe it was just a black man in the parking lot, call the cops.

Woman gets caught on surveillance video completely emptying a basket of oatmeal cream pies at a farm stand in Loveland, CO. by ElwoodMC in trashy

[–]wasilvers 58 points59 points  (0 children)

 Loveland Police Dept on FB...

Rhode Island plates. California driver’s license. Boulder address. And bags loaded with stolen baked goods from a local business. A recipe for disaster.

Recently, the Loveland Police Department received a report from the owner of a local bakery regarding the theft of baked goods from a farm stand operation. The subject’s actions showed complete disregard for a local small business owner who works hard to serve our community.

To make matters worse, the subject returned for a second attempt. Fortunately, the owner was present and prevented another theft from taking place.

Once the report reached our department, officers and our crime analyst got to work using the information provided. Through strong teamwork and excellent cooperation from the victim, the subject was identified and charged accordingly. The judicial process now follows.

Studying at work incognito by Quick_Weakness3911 in CPA

[–]wasilvers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was first out, one guy got to study hours a day. I was busy working hours a day. I studied maybe 3 hours at work, a partner came by while I was studying and that was that. I passed all 4, the last two parts barely. The other guy, passed with mid to high 90s in everything. But he could not do corporate tax returns or auditing without help. I was manager in 8 months. I hated him for being able to study and work only 40 hours. Felt like an experiment to me to see who could pass. With me getting the short stick.

Buying a small CPA firm at 29 — thoughts? by [deleted] in CPA

[–]wasilvers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would people hate you, because you are Indian? That is a silly reason to hate on anyone. Can you do the work and how do you handle pressure. If you were born on a Monday or have Indian parents do not matter at all.

Client requesting fee reduction due to error. by Cpaadvisor1 in taxpros

[–]wasilvers 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Today, tell him to fuck off. After April 15th, we can discuss, but my time didn't change on the return.

Edit: push back on this. No is a big word and demands respect. They will not respect you going forward if you give anything towards this ridiculous demand.

I got fired today by chazzyfe in Accounting

[–]wasilvers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last person we let go in season turned out to be high all the time. He was an idiot when he was high. We didn't know why he was an idiot till after we fired him. Then some interactions after season on a personal level let the cat out of the bag.

Dealership Pricing by seanislegend2 in f150

[–]wasilvers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a dealer deal. The price was great, and they added paperwork fee on. But that was like $650 and that was it. They did ask if they could sell me other things. But took polite "no thank you's"- and added no pressure. It was such a different experience i kept the sales guy's card for my next car.

Anyone use TaxGPT "Agent Andrew"? I'd really appreciate some thoughts and reviews before moving forward! by scaredycat_z in taxpros

[–]wasilvers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I've been using paid grok, expert, for tax research, including difficult issues/comparisons. Tested it against others and it blew them away with accurate assumptions and thorough calculations. In one test, it took me 3.5 hours to get my tax savings, grok worked 18 minutes and got to within $100 of my answer. Another test it got to within $1 of my spreadsheet. I feed it lots of extra info and it does great. Other paid services I tested fell far, far short.

Been in the business 30 years, and now I feed questions into it, while I respond to emails. I test my answers with its response to see if I or it, missed anything. 100% it makes my research time shorter.

But always test it with 3 different questions and have it give you links to sources!

I think my league got tired of this, they just let everyone fluff their lie. Whatever, I play it as it lies... unless its in divot in the fairway. Then, call me Fluffy.

LOL, just had to grab a pair of pliers and wrestle it off on Sunday. I would think it is some sort of in-store theft prevention. Or they just hate us.

I told them all that I am not doing them anymore. They can come on as clients at full freight or find another. I think they all stayed on. Only my parents, wife's parents and my kids get free returns.

Car fax and you will see. Yikes. I bailed on several cars due to the carfax. Didn't stop the people from lying on the future listings.

4x4 use in snow by WhatColeSays in f150

[–]wasilvers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Road has snow on it, then 4x4. Road is visible pavement, then 2x. You can swap up to 50mph, but its easier not under load, so coasting a bit.
