So he tried to evade the fare payment? He can't do that (or shouldn't be able to, at that). It's one thing if you have a bus pass which you can show to the operator, but it's another if you have no form of payment at all. ::)



In the future buses should have fare boxes in the back of the bus so that way fare boxes should be in front and in back.

Well, from what I understand, the standard way to enter a bus is through the front doors, so that you can submit your fare payment when boarding.

Fudge to the service people on the HP help line; we have been without a working printer for two weeks, after purchasing a new HP printer two months ago. Earlier this month we tried powering on the printer, but it wouldn't work, so my mom called tech support; they sent a new power module to try to correct the problem, but that didn't do the trick, so my mom called 'em back last Friday and reported that the problem was the printer itself (which is ridiculous for a machine that was purchased brand-new 2 months ago and is still under warranty). So on Friday my mom spoke to someone about the problem; the person said they'd get back to us "within two or three days"...that didn't happen, so this morning my mom called 'em back again, to try to get to the bottom of this, and right now she is waiting to speak to someone on the telephone.

So...we've been dealing with HP online and on the phone for going on two weeks now and still no replacement printer--oh, but on Friday they said they wanted to send us a "refurbished" printer as a replacement (which may have had some defects in itself)--can you believe that?

Update... we will probably just have to go out and get a new one. Shame that our $150 investment turned out to go down the drain. 8-P

This is why I buy the store warranty. then you don't have to deal with the knuckle heads in customer service.  The company's customer service people never offer to send a new replacement. They always unload someone elses previously broken crap onto the next customer. Rest assured. When your mom sends the printer back they will "fix" it and send it along to someone else.

If they are charities then they probably have a phone bank or phone system that makes it hard for someone to call back... my best guess is that they prefer to talk to a live body and don't want you call back but want to reach you by having you answer the phone.

I've tried that; it often works.

that's because they are bound to remove you from their call list if you tell them to... if they continue to call then you have to say

"I have requested to be removed from your list yet you continue to call me. If I receive any more calls from you I will file a complaint with the police for annoying and harassing phone calls."  Jeff, after the phrase "annoying and harassing phone calls", you can add  per Six-fifty-three-M in the California Penal Code.    I don't know what the code is in other states.

Dollar bills, like any other form of paper money, can be eaten by the vending machine and you end up waiting for ages for an attendant to retrieve you money.

Get those coin roller things, I get them from a bank. Roll them up, deposit them into your account.

Good idea. I got lots of coin rollers, some of which I've already bundled up.

I just use the Coin Star machine at the grocery store... sure they charge 8 cents on the dollar but it beats spending hours counting and rolling coin.  If you choose to donate the money to charity they don't charge you at all... plus you get the option of getting cash or you can put the money on an amazon gift card! They probably have other gift cards but I like amazon so I never looked further into it.

I don't think I can get the coin wrappers without buying them somewhere.  I'll  have to see where the nearest coin-star thing might be for me if there is one.  8 cents compared to dollars wasted buying the rolls is nothing.

they used to give coin wrappers away at the bank... don't know if they still do.

it's 8 cents per dollar so if you had 10 dollars in quarters it would cost  you 80 cents.  I figure it's not just cheaper than buying rolls its also about worth the time I save not having to sit there and roll the damn coins.

We use the Coinstar thing too (Ann, they are often found in the front of grocery stores near to the check-out lanes.  I think that they are green machines that you dump all of your coins into and the machine sorts them and prints out a receipt which you take through the grocery check-out (at least that's what you do in our coinstar machines.)  I've seen them inside by the cashiers at Wal-Mart too.

I'm odd (I know) but I actually like to play with my coins.  I must be a closeted collector of coins.  I so wanted to visit the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia when we all met there.  But we didn't get into town in time.   :(

Soooo... being that this is the fudge thread... Fudge the slooooowwwwww internet connection today.

Oh and Fudge that I was not born a ravishing beauty.   :D  (Not that I necessarily want to be ravished.)

If you're pressed for time, a basic electronic coin counter can be had for $25-50.  Even at CSTR's rates, it pays for itself within $300-500 of change.  Your bank may vary, but I've always gotten free coin rolls from my bank.  

But to all y'all who pay 8% to let a robot roll your coins, thank you!  You helped fund the Redbox kiosk that sits next to the Coinstar one!

...I just start all over again!  Whee!

Fudge: To an educational system doesn't teach its kids the value of something that, compared to letting Coinstar do it for you, provides a risk-free 8% return on investment for about an hour's work.  That's about 5-10 times better than your bank will give you even if you deposited the proceeds from the machine into your savings account.

Not our local grocery store, but I must have seen a coinstar thing somewhere at some point of time because the name seems familiar.  When I was a kid, we had a bank that gave out free coin rolls.  My new bank is in the grocery store and no free rolls.   

My new bank is in the grocery store and no free rolls.    


(*fudge* your bank!) 

What a coincidence... a bank branch in a grocery store that has a CSTR machine, doesn't give out coin rolls.  It's almost like there's something in the contract that says they're supposed to screw over their customers on behalf of the other tenants of the store.

For a better time, deposit a check (or find some other excuse) with a human teller at another branch at the same bank.  It may (or may not) help to "buy" a couple of rolls of quarters for $20, and then ask the teller if you can have a fistful of coin wrappers.  I don't think I've paid for a coin wrapper in my life, and my bank is not known for customer service.  On the other hand, I've always banked at a dedicated bank branch.  On the gripping hand, it's been a couple of years, and the world may have changed since 2007ish.  Still, it can't hurt to give it a try at a "real" bank branch.

Yeah patty the coin star works the same here. And it is green.
Ann your albertsons, von's, ralphs or Safeway will have one. It's at the front of the store near the ATM or lotto machine. Usually close to the doors.

Patty when I was a kid I always wanted my money in one dollar bills I felt like having a big wad of cash was like being rich. I forever counted played with flashed and examined my bills. Lol.

true... I will say tho retail gives you that perception much better than waiting tables some people are asses to people who wait tables just because they are asses in general so then you just learn how to be bitter towards asses... not a thing it's just sort of a lesson I didn't need to be taught.    ;) 


no I think in retail you learn to see the bigger picture you recognize that your vision is not necessarily one that works best for the company you have to learn to get along with different types of personalities and you have to learn to smile while a person is cussing you out... I didn't handle that last part too well.... see in waiting tables you can get your backwards revenge by effing with people's food so you don't learn to deal with shyt and accept it you just go behind someone's back and deal with it the way you want it dealt with.. not really helping that getting along in the real world scenario we were talking about... ya know....

Been there and done that.  That is how I have gotten most of my jobs ::)  If one needs money, one learns how to do it.  But I am from a single parent household and watched my mom work her butt off, and I learned a work ethic. AND I learned that I wanted more  8)


I was shopping at an outlet center about 40 miles south of me and I watched this young man walk in out of virtually every store he had a stack of applications he had filled out and he was turning them back in. He was good. Very respectful, shook the managers hand and thanked them for taking the time to look at the apps and consider him.  One guy interviewed the guy right on the spot... I don't know if he got hired but I was impressed with the effort he put into it.

O0  That's the way to do it.  When I first moved here, I had a college degree and I had been working for about $36,000 (ten year's ago in the midwest - good pay) and then I got married and moved.  No job and no real realistic job in the area in my field.  I started filling out applications, meat processing plant (which I denied, due to grossness factor- but the money was good- it was tempting), grocery store, retail,etc...)  I ended up at a vet's office working for 9.25/hour part time.  Hey I learned from it and it was a job.  I just did not go stagnant.  That experience has helped me tremendously in adding real life experience to my teaching

I've learned lots from all the jobs I've had.

I've learned lots from all the jobs I've had.
Who hasn't... Even my babysitting career in jr and sr high...  My selling trees, shrubs, landscaping, golf course super., environmental consultant, florist, flower shop owner, vet. assistant, and now teacher.  I learn and will continue to evolve.

I fudge people who are not willing to listen and evolve.  They can only see one path, and so the sit still till it is cleared for them.  Standing still, get's you no where

mine is a cold/sinus infection returning.

that's too bad

Fudge my kid for pulling the stem off my little pumpkin making me a sad panda.

Some people just don't seem to understand this.  They jump in with the game, and when it gets too rough, they go and whine to the lunch/recess teacher.

Sorta like in other kids' playground games.

I'm not gonna fudge the cartkey so I won't.

Then don't.

In that case I'd say you deserve an applause.

But unfortunately I'm not.

It works but you have to keep clicking the green button.

I just use the Coin Star machine at the grocery store... sure they charge 8 cents on the dollar but it beats spending hours counting and rolling coin.  If you choose to donate the money to charity they don't charge you at all... plus you get the option of getting cash or you can put the money on an amazon gift card! They probably have other gift cards but I like amazon so I never looked further into it.




We got $50 on a Borders card a year or so ago.  I really wanted a Subway or Dunkin Donuts card but that wasn't an option.  I must look what the gift card options are here.

C'mon Q just minor fudges nothing bad.


but you promised no fudges or complaints

Howard do the other cart guys have issues with the clicker too?

IF it's only you then there's something you're doing wrong.

Ask one for advice and

maybe they can show you a trick or the exact place to point the clicker.

That's why I think you should ask the other cart guys if they have the same problem...

maybe there's a certain way to point it... 

like maybe you point it too high or too low....



its good advice howard just take it for all of our sakes..

fudge to the frontend desk,I was using the cartkey remote control this afternoon to unlock the cart and all of a sudden the batteries died so then I went in and asked her if she has any more fresh batteries,she walks away for a few minutes,I get irritated and she comes back with the same exact batteries that were in the remote before so she really didn't do anything.  ::)

Did you tell her they were the exaqct same batteries?
And..and you sure it's a battery problem and, have you asked a co-worker to help you work that thing properly yet?

howard how do you know she didn't get you new batteries?

they may have been the same brand but not the same batteries.

did she say here you go?

or did she say sorry I can't find any batteries?

that's right... howard

you promised me you would ask another cart guy if they had problems with that thing too...


did you  ask?

does he?

if not did he show you what you're doing wrong?

???

I don't know. I was going to say something in reply to your second sentence, but I decided not to go through with it because I was at a loss for words. :-\\ Part of me felt an urge to, but I chickened out.

Fudge to negative campaign ads (which I know are all over the airwaves now, but there are some which really annoy the crap outta me, especially those I disagree with strongly). I'll just be glad when this election stuff is all over.

So either the batteries and dead, or the red light isn't working. Go back to that lady and tell her it's still not working (show her the light does not come on) ,that you need new batteries for you to do your job. And be nice/polite to her.

If new batteries don't help, then your remote is busted, need a new one.

I agree with you there; that one seems kinda funny! :D

Howard,

What did she say to you?

I know you didn't just hand her batteries and then she brought them back.   

There was a conversation.

What were the exact words she said to you?

he told me to aim it at the wheel to unstick it.


Is that what he said yesterday?

Or is that what you were told last week?

I think you're aiming at the wrong angle (pointing too high or too low)

That's why I think you should ask if others are having problems too.

If others are having problems Theresa a problem with the remote.

If you are the only one having problems then you are doing something wrong.
