Clumsy at the cash register? Can't scan a price barcode? Do you realize that people (often with an 8th grade education) used to have to push buttons on a cash register, and get it right? And heaven forbid...make change! I'd be depressed too. And offending the scheduler, like 3 days into a job? Yikes! One wonders what the so-called "trivial" issue was there. I shudder to think.
Earnings? What are they selling? Paychecks?

Couldn't the baby foddah pick up the kid? where is he? And just what exactly did you filch from the store? That's what we want to know.
83 other channels that do the same thing. I can't for the life of me understand how anybody can fork over money for cable/satellite TV. To me, that level of stupidity, given the number of suckers going for it is the Eighth Wonder of The World. Sheesh.
Washers made of late now have what I refer to as "socialism-inspired" hot water settings. This means that the washer (not you) decides how hot that hot water wash is going to be. Unfortunately, the washer's idea of how hot that hot water is to be is often not hot enough - especially now that detergents no longer contain phosphate, are "watered down" so you buy more (at twice the price), and are largely useless for washing out stains or just body dirt.

Dump all your white stuff in the trash. They'll be dingy and filthy looking forever after. You should have kept your old washer. It most likely had a hot water setting that took hot water only, the temperature of which depended on where you set your hot water heater - not what some "going green" yo-yo said what temp it should be. Alternatively do what I did. Attach a hose to the hot water spigot in back of the machine and fill it yourself, manually.

Wrinkles? Can't help you there.

Samsung appliances have, by far, the highest number of complaints on this and other boards. Avoid Samsung. Their stuff is junk. Google it. You can see for yourself.

N. Wells? Chicago? Did you get home without getting clobbered and robbed? If so, lucky you.
Yikes! Diamonds falling out of wedding rings (both, especially) is bad luck. Known for centuries. Keep an eye on him.

Looks like it's your bed frame or your box spring, not your mattress. Take a look underneath.
Of course it's a scam. Purchasing cigarettes online in the US has been illegal for like, 10 years.

You spend $2000 a month in a Kroger but can't afford a stinkin' cell phone? You're either a liar, a bulimic, or some sort of psychotic. You've lost something more than just some air from your tire, babe.

Just remember one thing: The doctors, nurses and techs are making the same money they made 20 years ago - some, less, some as a result of doing twice as much work. That's a fact. So, where is this money going?

Take a walk sometime through a community hospital and note how many administrative people you see wandering around. With a little effort, you can spot them. Do you realize they now greatly outnumber the people working with actual direct or even indirect patient care? Do you realize that they are paid (each one of them) an average of over $60, 000/yr - some well over $100, 000? Also look at the physical facility. Many (not all, but quite a few) hospitals and clinics have been turned into something looking like a 5 star hotel or a space age air terminal - and yes! you pay for that! You also pay for everybody else's health insurance because today, by law - it all for one, one for all.

Of course if you ever get treated for something, you'll see essentially the same equipment they used 10 yrs ago (with few exceptions); a hoard of computers (which are no option - nope - required by law! and that's a whole big mega-expensive tech department, you understand), and, of course, your pharmacy bill, you'll see very often is "whatever price they care to charge." (a topical steroid I use went from about $80 a bottle to [get this] $325 a bottle in 5 years - same stuff you understand)

Just don't ever get the idea its doctors, nurses, med techs, or radiology techs or physical therapists soaking you to finance their lush lifestyles. Nope. You are paying all the others I described above. I like to call them "cling ons."

And then, of course (another destination for that all too common Business grad) the layers and layers of bureaucrats and their paper shufflers at the BCBS office which of course require the same manpower employed by each and every provider - just so they can make sure they get paid.

It has been observed that between 18 and 25 business grads are now needed for every MD. or RN. So, you see, you're lucky it's just $1400 a month.
Not a "heavy" pot...a WIDE pan is what they said. Yes, a pan with a reflective metal bottom, that is a lot wider than the burner, heated hot enough, can discolor the surrounding stove top. My cheapo 16" aluminum-clad frying pan actually discolored stainless steel.

Wait...lemme guess. You gave some schyster your credit card to get a membership. Am I right? Sorry pal; they'll charge you forever and use a collection agency to get that money. Have the CC company close that account. Never EVER let a gym get your credit card or other account number. They may not let you join, but so what. There are other places you can go to look at other men's jimbles. Lot cheaper and you won't have to put up with this cr@p.

Meantime, not a bad idea to let them "earn" that $400. One piece of higher end equipment slathered with number two would be one way.
Over the past few years Amerigas bought out a number of propane suppliers in Michigan - essentially all of their competitors. The result? Propane has doubled in price. You can't sell a house heated with propane in Michigan these days. I suspect Amerigas got some government money to do that. In fact, I'd bet the rent they did. Eliminating competition in the marketplace is very important when it's socialism you're after. It's basic to it. Just remember that the next time you go to the polls - but even more important - never EVER! vote for an incumbent. I don't care who they are. You must assume they are all in on the game. Socialism is first and foremost all about big government. Government = big business without any competition. Do you get it?
Amerigas bought out essentially all of the competitors in Michigan and the price you quoted is essentially what they charge there, about twice what it was with the other propane suppliers. I am certain that they got fed money to pull that stunt. You can't sell a house fired by propane there. In rural areas, natural gas heated houses literally fly off the shelf. Propane fueled ones go for a pittance if they sell at all..

Socialism requires that no competition in the market place exists.. An American would have to go to Europe to see what I mean and how it affects pricing. Just think of the US before K Mart opened up.

Never EVER! vote for a Washington incumbent - I don't care what party. They are for all intents and purposes, all in on it. Don't believe a thing they say..

You are so right! LG appliances are junk. Just look at the number of complaints on this site and elsewhere. Once a choice for energy efficiency, nowadays most other brands are just as energy efficient, so just skip over LG. . Most importantly, never buy an appliance on a day when your natal Mercury is afflicted (just an observation of mine). Look it up before you sign your name. Just sayin.'

No job is "secure" when you don't get there on time and don't leave when your shift is over - that's like FIRST PRIORITY. Unless Minesh had the pleasure(?) of fathering that baby, he has no compunction to let you cut corners with regard to your responsibilities at that place of employment.

How are you going to feed that baby? Well, the first place you need to look is at the sperm donor. Let him worry about buying the food.

"Rewards" "Credit Card" "Layaway." "my credit card linked to her rewards card"

So you (or her) set out to buy stuff you (or her) could probably never afford, and want to get "rewarded" for doing so. How amazing that you even have enough brains to get on this site and write a complaint, in excellent English no less!

Are you aware that until recently, the term "layaway" was essentially gone from American lingo for like what? 40 years? Only now, after yo-yo's got caught living beyond their means and credit issuers responded, did the layaway rear its ugly depressing face. Somebody set out to buy something they apparently couldn't afford; wants to get "rewarded" for doing so and now Toys R Us gets reamed out for merely following their business protocol.

Toys are for kids. So where's the sperm donor in all this (if it isn't you)? Just wondering.

Well, you've got it down to three men. She needs to go find at least two of them, and get their DNA - get it from all three if possible. Its not hard to do. One method is to wave her little booty in front of them, and when they're distracted grab a used coffee cup, a beer bottle, a ciggie butt, or the guy's undies from a laundry basket and take it to a lab for DNA testing . Also, you can try getting their trash - that works too. ONE OF THOSE BUMS OWES CHILD SUPPORT! Meantime not a bad idea to have daughter go get those tubes tied and while she's at it, get an AIDS test..
Oh. So you are actually opening your mail, have some recall of what you previously paid, and set out to use insurance finding that (you thought and were told) it was covered. You are one in a million. You, my dear, are not playing the game.

Do you know what a "banana republic" is? Got news for ya. It isn't necessarily just a rogue government. Way more than that. It's also a place where businesses of any kind can (essentially) extort money from you, or at least attempt to, for no legitimate reason - AND GET AWAY WITH IT!

Insurance companies do this a zillion times a day. Any business dealing with an insurance company just goes along. I've now had at least 4 incidences, that I can recall, similar to what you describe, happen to me in just the past couple years. Lying through your teeth is the new business model. Insurance companies are the worst, and any business you deal with through insurance (pharmacies are classic) just play along and you can knock yourself out trying to contest - but guess what: chances are you'll get nowhere.

As a rule of thumb, I no longer allow anyone to extract so much as a penny from me until I can confirm that the amount I owe IS the amount I owe (ahead of time) and absolutely refuse to pay any attention to any additional charge, telling them simply - "you made a mistake? That's your problem, not mine. Have a nice day."

I feel sorry for people that actually spend 40+ hours a week working and in addition have other things to do. Those poor suckers don't even have the time to do half of what you did to check and see who's fooling around with their pocketbook. These days the mantra is, "just flood 'em with paperwork and chances are they'll cough up the money."

Don't pay another dime. They often back down if they realize you're not totally out to lunch.

The kid's DNA, and the sperm donor's DNA are there for life. There is no statute of limitations for unpaid child support until the kid is 18. No pay? Can't prove you paid? Imprisonment in most states.

Typical big box furniture stores. Ashley does the same thing - more often than not. ALWAYS ASK WHEN and IF the item is available BEFORE you hand them your credit card, and "require" it in writing (they'll tell you then and there if the item is, in reality, currently available). Don't be surprised if April 20-something they tell you that the furniture you paid for is no longer available.

They also throw important mail (like tax bills) mailed to people who are currently having their mail forwarded IN THE TRASH! In addition, forwarded mail is now taking 15 - 20 days for me to receive. Huh? Their antics have cost me over $300 in late fees. AMTRAK isn't the only train wreck your federal gov't has lorded over.

Call your credit card company. They will cancel the charge for you. BA will have no way of countering that.
