It’s almost definitely true as long as he’s not completely socially inept. I’m mildly socially inept and had a similar experience at a woman focused department store. I had significantly less work that I was allowed to do, but was still commended for it. If the options for growth there were at all appealing I might have stayed when offered a leadership position.

Most of my coworkers were either older women that treated me like their son/grandson or attractive young women that would take me out to bars and parties. I made a few life long friends as a nice bonus. The obvious downside is that it was by far the lowest pay and worst benefits I’ve ever had in my life (absolutely one of the most fun periods of my life though).

Although, the amount of opportunities for getting laid that I completely missed or unknowingly blew is embarrassing. Hurts a little bit to think about.

Keith is a little bitch, fuck that guy

This would be nice to know, my mom asked me like a decade ago and I was unable to find anything back then.

My experience watching The Departed while almost entirely sober felt like a face blindness simulator. I was baffled when one of the characters that had been killed came back and none of the other characters acknowledged it. Cool movie but so confusing.

Is this your recent experience with American wireless carriers? I have experience with phone companies and this is not how the big ones work. They did work like this years ago but it’s been a while since they have. The big ones right now have a plan per line and additional charges based on add-ons and device payments. So it’ll be something like $80 phone plan + $20 device payment (for 3 years) + $8 insurance. Once the payment plan is over the plan and addon’s typically remain the same price. If you bring your own phone as a NEW customer the big carriers give you a discount up front or distributed through a monthly credit, but the plan is the same plan. Once the credit runs out it’s the same price as everyone else’s plan.

Example bills:

New customer with no promotional offers: $25 iPhone 15 (I don’t know the actual price for this) $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $113 total

New customer with trade in promotion: $25 iPhone 15 -$25 iPhone 15 $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $88 total (I’m not a Nazi I’m just pretty sure this is the price of the cheapest insurance option)

Existing customer who buys a phone from Craigslist: $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $88 total

New customer that brings their own Craigslist device: $-5 credit for bringing own phone (probably applied for 24-36 months) $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $83 total

Do you also bike/lift?
