YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A REDDITOR

Y’know, there’s a part of me that can’t help but feel that these people genuinely don’t realise that the public despises them.

If you reach that level of business, you’ve been so removed from every day life for so long that you’d have absolutely no idea what your customers think. These people don’t use social media like normal folks, so they have no clue what’s said about them. They’re so ensconced in their companies that they truly believe the brand values that their marketing department came up with. They truly, honestly believe that they’re bringing good to the world as much as they can.

Odds on he went into the office at 18:30 to take a photo of how empty it was so he post on LinkedIn about what a grinder he is.

We do that to our MD all the time.

A paint booth gets condemned because the filtration isn't working, the MD asks the paint manager to just carry on anyway. The paint manager says sure, send that to me in an email and I'll crack on. The email never arrives. The booth gets repaired.

THEY’RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD

I worked for Dominos for a bit, mostly driving, but a bit in the kitchen too. Minimum wage, and not enough hours, but I was living at my mum’s house, she didn’t demand much money from me and my needs were few, so it was a nice gig. Driving around in the evening, listening to the radio. Not bad.

When I started there, if an order got fucked up it’d get put out the back so everyone could grab a slice if they wanted. Not a bad perk in a min-wage job.

Then the boss decided that we were fucking them up on purpose to get free pizza, so demanded they get thrown in the bin.

I found another job because of that. Almost never go to Dominos for pizza now. Too fucking pricey, and nowhere near good enough to justify it.

Here in the UK I could spend 13 hours on the M25 and would have only gone four junctions. The American mind cannot comprehend this.

Put this outside a good number of pubs in the UK and you’ll make an absolute killing. It would have to offer a £1 toastie, of course, but the principle is the same.

I was given an old Samsung S4 for use at work recently, for scanning QR codes with primarily.

I’m an iPhone guy, so am lost with Android, but the version it was locked to was ancient and massively out of date. I did a bit of research, and after a few hours of trial and error I’ve got it running on Lineage 14.1, with a few useful apps downloaded from F-Droid. It’s gone from an old hunk of trash to a perfectly usable device that won’t win any awards for its benchmarks, but is spot on for what i need it to do.

But I can only cancel my subscription once, and I already did, months ago.

Was this article written by AI, because it's disjointed as fuck.

As someone who drives a car in the UK, I'd like to point out that this is a load of old bollocks designed to drum up votes from Boomers ahead of what's looking to be an absolute embarrassment of an election for the Tories in the next year or so.

Almost none of these promises have any actual substance to them, and are largely just meaningless slogans designed to rile up the Boomers* who have spent their lives being taught that public transport and bikes are what poor lefties do.

If Labour have been quiet on these issues, it's because they know that their best election strategy at this point is to just let the Tories flap on, doling out enough rope with which to hang themselves.

*not all Boomers, obviously, but they really are the majority of Tory voters
