WHY IS every FUCKING BUSINESS out to screw me over for profit nowadays?!
WHY IS every FUCKING BUSINESS out to screw me over for profit nowadays?!
The world didn't used to be like this. A busninesses reputation was built on how it treated its customers, and Americans demanded and got quality products and services at a price normal people could afford.
Now every FUCKDAMN restaurant wants a 30% tip, and now I'm getting PRESSURED TO TIP THE CASHIER AT A GAS STATION?!
Look I get it, times are tough and those people deserve more BUT IT SHOULD COME FROM THE VAST UNCHECKED PROFITS OF THE COMPANY THAT THEY ALLOW TO EXIST!
But NooOOoow we've NORMALIZED customer abuse and dark patterns, we just 'oh gee damn' extra fees and not owning anything.
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO LET US LIE BACK AND TAKE THIS?!
You're viewing a single thread.
Because you guys accept it.
Back in 2003, I worked at a grocery store. Its a regional chain, and the owner of the chain came in, treated me like shit, and left while my supervisors followed him around kissing his ass. I quit on the spot, and haven't been back to his store since.
Sony and Microsoft decided to charge for digital games. Same price as the physical. Not only do you NOT own these games, but you also have to pay for online now. And now XBox is trying to raise their prices. Even Nintendo started charging.
I don't pay for online. I don't buy digital, and now, as an extra fuck you, I only buy used copies. That way the developers get nothing.
I don't pay for Hulu, or Netflix, or any other streaming platform. Instead I have a HUGE collection of DVDs.
I want to physically own the things I buy. I heard Sony just cancelled some peoples digital movies that they paid money for.
Fuuuuuuuck that. I will never pay sony a dime for any digital service. But all of you do. Everybody else is voting with their wallet. DVD sales are near non-existant to the point best buy no longer even carries them.
For anyone who has shelves and shelves of DVDs, this doesn't apply to you. But do know that you're less than 1% of society. People think I'm crazy for owning PS2 games, and DVDs.
But then these publishers want to re-release 20+ year old games. Fuck that. I already bought them 20 years ago!
And I NEVER tip these people who have historically never been tipped. I come into an ice cream parlor, and uou scoop 3-4 scoops into a bowl, cover it in toppings, and now I'm expected to tip $3 on a $8 purchase that took 1 minute to prepare??? FUCK THAT!!!
I'll tip the waiter, who on average is in charge of being responsible for an entire room worth of tables at once, and each table is 45-60 minutes of time serving them. Thats hard work. And I tip those people. That I get. However if they try that trick on me where they wait until I get a bite of food to ask how I am, I will put the finger up sign, as if to say "give me a minute", and when I have chewed and swallowed at my own pace THEN I'll say "I'm fine, thank you". I've noticed that they stopped doing that at resteraunts I frequent. Because waiters do that intentionally, so you can't ask for things, and they have a faster time. So by slowing them down past what they otherwise normally would have, they learn its faster to ask you when you're not face-full into a burger.
I don't know who you think 'you guys' are, but I can barely afford to pay attention and have vegetarian days at least three times a week due to budget constraints.
Sure there are a fucktonne of other people with disposable money that can just not care about a 20% increase in their cellphone bill for nebulous reasons.
For mea that means I don't have gas for work, so no I get on the phone and argue till they reverse it.
ALMOST NO ONE DOES THIS
So, when you say 'you guys' know your target audience.
Every day is a vegetarian day for me
If that's what you're into fine by me but it's not completely by choice in my case.
"Vegetarian days"?
Do you know how privileged that sounds? That's what most of the entire world considers normal, or even lucky, and you're up in arms because the privilege you've grown accustomed to is being sapped by others for their own gain?
Wake the fuck up, white boy. You were never any different in the eyes of your owners.
edit: Silly me, forgetting what "majority rule" means. My bad, brah.
Why shouldn't we be up in arms that our resources are "being sapped by others for their own personal gain" seems like a pretty sensible thing to be pissed about.
Banned AF
Louder for those in the back!
