i think the only location now is the one on westnedge south of 94 a ways. he sold the others to wolf camera. its a family run business. i worked at the westnedge store in the mid 90's as part time in store sales staff. i guess there is a pretty good chance we might have met there as well as back home in mid mich.

That's the camera gear scam. Website says its in stock, placer order, says to call and confirm, you call and they say buy all this other shit. If you don't buy all the other shit, they say "oh sorry your whatever is actually back ordered" then they proceed to fuck you with some fine print bullshit written in invisible html.

I trust meeting people on Craigslist more than buying from crappy east coast scamsters. I think they center around Brooklyn and Jersey, something about those areas that the laws make them able fuck you. There are other stories on the web about the rip offs. There are a few good ones, B&H, adorama, can't think of the other, I stopped shooting and sold my camera years ago.

When I'm watching the news, in the morning, at night, whenever, every.single.freaking. commercial break contains the same stupid Prius commercial. Dad looks out the window while sipping coffee (voice over) 'Our son wanted to wash the family prius... using the rain' and obviously that's all the damn kid was using because he's out there rubbing on the car with just a sponge with no soap or anything. and what kid wakes up and goes out to wash the car while his parents are still getting breakfast ready anyway? for a dumb prius painted cotton tampon white, who would even bother washing it in the first place? it doesn't even deserve it. like with all the hybrids nowadays if you're still buying a prius it's because you WANT people to file you into that stereotypical 'I'm already againt the next war', I leave the cat hair on my couch because it's 'natural', I only eat organic everything -category. the 'real' environmental people are the ones who drive subarus because at least they've got 4 wheel drive and cages for the cats and invite you to drive out to the middle of yellowstone to knit hemp scarves

AAAHSHAGHSAGGAGG.

/mental breakdown

I know it's just a commercial but it makes me really mad for some reason.

what pisses me off is when i am at work (i work behind a meat counter) and I'm prepping food or something and i see a customer and ask them "if they need help?" they always say no. they leave and come back when i have a line of customers. when i get to the customer that said no and ask them "what can i get for you?" they always say "i don't know, what should i get?"
in my head I'm thinking:wgaf: "really! i don't give a shit what you get, just get the fuck out and dont bug me":-x. by the time he/she makes up there mind i have more customers lined up right behind this moron.:blowup:
i never knew how much i hate people until you deal with them constantly.
fuck customer service!

I think you need a job outside customer service, 'cuz you're not providing a service. When somebody asks you "what should I get?" they're actually asking "What wildly expensive cut of meat should I feed my family tonight?" They're looking for ideas: "The filet is very good today, and the stuffed pork is really nice, though the salmon's fresher than I've ever seen it." Please them, they'll come back and you get to keep your job.
Please don't come to Canada, we have more than enough IDGAF 'service' people already.

i don't give a shit what you get, just get the fuck out and dont bug me

Yay! See you the unemployment line!

sub dad actually makes a really good point. no offense, but this is what is wrong with youths today.

when i was growing up, the advice my dad gave me was basically no matter what job you do(even if it is cleaning toilets) do it to the best of your ability all day every day.

if you exceed the expectations of your customers, your supervisors will notice and this is the surest way to get a job that sucks less.

really, what we are trying to say is that your attitude is bad. simply changing your point of view will make all the difference as to whether you are happy in your job or your life.

also, if you hate your job, why are you doing it? just go find something else that is more suitable to you.

I'm married as well, 32, recently moved to GA, and got my 2nd E30 about a week prior to our move. Couldn't drive it here, raised our move costs by about 1g. And now we need to store 2 cars that are hobbies. She is in full support, guess I am lucky as well.

When you walk in a public bathroom and somebody took a really stinky dump...:down:

[Jand3rson]

This fucking guy that I work with. He's such a pathetic tard, I want to just put him out of his misery.

He's like 28, lives alone, and has never even gotten laid. He talks about working out all the time, but he eats Subway like every day and drinks at least on 20oz. soda per day. Just about everything that comes out of his mouth about working out is total bullshit, he has no idea what he's talking about. He takes everything everyone says like they're making a serious point, and has to counter ANYTHING you say to him with either an argument (made up of bullshit), or he has to give you an in-depth 5 minute explanation of why that makes sense, or what he would do.

He's also one of those people that flat-out refuses to accept any kind of advice, help, assistance, or anything at all. He's constantly talking about his back and neck hurting, and we have an on-site mobility and fitness coach who comes every other week, and he refuses to go see him, even though it's free. He also just wrecked his shitty car on the way to work a few weeks ago, and now is stuck without a car, and refuses to take anyone's advice on getting a new car. He won't finance one, even though he's got no/perfect credit, and he won't ask anyone in his family for help. Adding to that, he lives alone and only pays like $700 a month rent, but is constantly bitching that he's broke and can't afford this, that and whatever else.

Beyond that, he's really rude, but I don't think he even realizes it. He'll just butt his way through wherever you're working, step in to use whatever computer or station you're using (I work in a warehouse in shipping/logistics), move your stuff out of his way without even asking you to move something first, and is always, always getting into everyone else's business and conversations. And if it's not that, he's bitching about always getting blamed for problems (he screws up all the time), and when something does come back that he screwed up, he won't let it go, sometimes for days at a time. The guy drives me fucking CRAZY, he's like an arrogant 14 year old in a 30 year old's body. Something has got to be off-base with him, but I don't know what.
