I don't want to say too much however, I am a volunteer firefighter, a lot of us take public safety VERY seriously. With that being said, we seen fires that involve fire code violations and its all too common. I'll give example of one form a different area, their mall that has a rotting parking structure. If a car fire were to break out their a risk of partial or a complete collapse. the fear is with electric car fires multiple cars will inginte and the metal will get super weak and the whats left of the fire proofing will fail. Thiers more issues I know of as well in various industries

FYI: those food delivery fees usually don't go to the drivers, most of it goes to the restaurant or 3rd party delivery service

[@halowaffles]

Guaranteed if it's a franchised company - the delivery fee entirely goes to the business. Those companies only charge a delivery fee so they can get extra profit, it's definitely not a requirement. However, the mom and pop pizzeria I worked for gave me the delivery charge, but that's because it was under-the-table and I wasn't on payroll. My only job was delivery, so my cut was the delivery charge + my tips

[@shaereub4450]

It depends. Uber Eats & Grub Hub charge the restaurant, thus the restaurant passes it onto the customer in form of higher prices when ordering from the app. And the there's the tax & delivery fees.

[@davidlium9338]

I worked for a pizza delivery company several years ago and someone said the delivery fee was “Pure profit “ (exact quote). But I figured out that the lost money (maybe a quarter) versus carry out.

My wife was a special ed teacher. She was frequently punched, and one student poisoned her coffee (she watched), and she was writing on the white board when a knife penetrated the board next to her face. She was a substitute, and another sub taught the next day, and was raped. Since I made twice what she made, and all of her income went into investments, we agreed that she should stop, and look into volunteer positions. "Students" with "behavior disorder" are very, very dangerous, and will later be diagnosed as ASPD, if they live to 18

Where the hell was your wife teaching? Because I *am* special needs and went to a special needs school for 8 years and had additional help in high school, and not once was there a violent incident nor were the kids violent

[@jowannamalone3863]

This is what gets on my nerves with the umbrella label “special ed”. There are children who have intense behavioral issues that are thrown into “special ed” (when they should probably go to some alternative learning center instead), and there are children with actual mental and/or physical disabilities that need attention and treatment so that they can learn, but absolutely no violent behavioral issues. These are two distinct group of kids with different needs, with even more variety of needs within each group. However, people should know the difference of what kinds of kids we are referring to when we talk about “special ed”.

I don't care if you're stealing from the major retailer I work for. Unless there's security at the building nobody will attempt to stop you. I'm not promoting theft it's just sometimes customers have let me know that they saw somebody do something wrong. The irony is I thought I was a great shoplifter as a teen, but realized as an adult I don't get paid enough to put myself at risk over petty theft.

The water one, and even to extend electricity happen in my city a lot. My mom literally went shock pikachu face when an operator admits they had been low staff for some years when it comes to people who can give proper maintenance to water pipes. And later discover the same for electric lines.

[@adamb89]

6:43 An old friend of mine used to be a music teacher at a special ed facility. This was one of those more "inpatient" deals that was partnered with a local area hospital, and was intended for the kids who were way too unruly and bad off for the public or even private schools system. It was basically a privately run school that used the public education system's materials, but basically hired mercenaries because every day was a battle. Average turnaround for "carers" (i.e. the people who spend all day getting bitten and stabbed so the teachers don't have to) was about a month, even though they paid $20 an hour (and in the 90's for an entry level job that required no experience, that was insane.) Most quit after their first trip to the ER. About another half were fired after they fought back in self defense. The remaining ~5% were so desperate for a paycheck they stuck around sometimes up to a full year. But for the most part these people were cannon fodder.

i've worked as a caregiver for people with special needs for years and this is something i wish our society was more aware of. i've seen other staff get their faces bashed in, hair ripped out by the handfulls, i personally have a giant scar from a bite on my arm. i love the clients like they're my own family, and some obviously can't help it, but the pay & strict regulations for caregivers make it so hard for people to work in this field. it really is a dangerous job, lots of concussions and broken bones are almost a right of passage for jobs like this.

Thank you utility workers. I see you in inclement weather working late and on holidays....my mom worked for city water and did on call shifts, I used to get bundled into the car late at night as she went out to deal with a situation at a pump station or wherever. Good times, so needed. Thank you!❤

[@hewholivesonhearts]

Have worked at 2 shipping companies. Your packages are gonna be kicked, dropped, and thrown by the facility workers. These people have to maintain a certain amount of speed and efficiency in stacking packages or else their chute will become dangerously cluttered. Like, crush-your-leg-between-two-boxes cluttered. Your package will be fine if it's properly packed- if you're not confident that it could survive you dropping it on the floor from chest height then either use more bubble wrap or take it to someone who's trained to pack stuff.

[@RialVestro]

Well here's a secret you might not believe even when I tell you, cause I didn't believe it when I took the job. I once ran sound for a play. I wanted to learn all the different aspects of theater so I had asked if I could run sound for a show. I was warned before I took the job that the Audience would frequently ask the sound op to turn the heat up in the theater and they had a nob on the sound board that wasn't actually hooked up to anything they told me to turn whenever someone asked. I thought it was a joke, that no one could be dumb enough to think I was there just to adjest the thermastat. But sure enough it happened... like every show. I turned the placebo nob that tricked them into thinking I did something about the temprature and then they left. Though one night I had someone in the audience sitting next to the booth even worse as he was apperently obvivious to the fact I had head phones on, a sound board and a computer in front of me and kept talking to me durring the entire freaking show. Even if I was actually in the audience increadibly rude to talk durring the show as people are there to see the play and want to hear the actors on stage not the random stranger in the seat next to them. Was the only time I missed the people asking me to turn up the heat durring intermition. At least they knew not to talk durring the show and understood I work there even if they had no clue what I actually do. Anyway, fun fact, the stage lights are freaking HOT and the theater is kept chilly on purpose so the actors don't get heat stroke. Even if I could actually turn up the heat in the theater I wouldn't. So wear a jacket or a sweater if you're in the audience.

Story 30: My dad went through AA when I was in high school. I remember him talking a lot about disliking the system but sticking with it because he wanted to get sober. He relapsed about 2 years later but has been sober in the last year and is having an easier time of it now than he did with AA. Story 33: They're right. The ice cream machines at fast food restaurants are specialized equipment that comes from like 1 company. They take like several hours to clean.

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

Story number 30 writer is a fool and knows nothing about alcoholism.

[@Donkeyearsa]

I don't know what happened to the ice-cream machines from the late 80s when I worked fast food. The ice-cream machine never once broke down during the year plus that I worked there, and we cleaned it after closing and in the morning right before lunch rush we put it back together for the day. It was never turned off to be cleaned during business hours as we would have to throw out the ice-cream that was in it.

[@wendigo6667]

IIRC, don't the ice cream machines clean themselves? If so, why not let it clean itself overnight?

[@adamb89]

AA was absolute garbage. After my divorce I drank like a fish for nearly a decade. Bottle of whisky at night so I could sleep, pot of coffee in the morning to get rid of the hangover. Most of what AA taught, I could tell their heart was in the right place, but they would just not shut up about that "higher power" nonsense. Eventually I recognized it for the cult it is, and went my own way. As cults go, AA isn't bad, but it's still a cult. Now, I still drink, but only when I'm at home and generally only when I'm by myself. Out in public I might have a beer, maybe two over the span of several hours. But I save being buzzed or drunk for when I'm at home and have nothing better to do. Like sipping whisky while I read a book by the fire, until I can't focus on the story anymore. Then watch TV.

[@Leith_Crowther]

AA is just Christian propaganda by design. It doesn’t work.

I am a truck drive and no we don/t drive slow because we want to but because our trucks have governors on them so we literally can't drive as fast as we want. Many truck drivers are paid by the mile and the more miles that we drive per hour / day the more money we make in that day. The companies govern the trucks to save them self's money on fuel. So when you past that truck going 58 MPH in that 75 MPH speed zone don't cut them off and give them the finger as they wish that they could drive at 75 MPH way more than you with that they would. And can you stop passing trucks on the highway then cutting them off and slamming on your brakes because you are just about to pass your off-ramp. That one tenth of a second you are saving getting to the end of the off-ramp where that red light is is not worth the trip to the morgue when the truck plows through you car. Just get behind the truck and safely get to your destination. And the vast majority of semis have video cameras recording that you cut off the truck, so no if they do plow through your car and by some miracle you survived but you are permanently stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of your live because you no longer have any legs you wont be wining some lawsuit making you millions in stead the trucking company will be suing you for what damage you did to the truck. The camera video will be evidence that you caused the accident and you will be paying all damages and that lawyer on them billboards can't change that you caused the accident and are fully responsible for all damages to your self and to the truck that plowed through you.

[@antonhooper7448]

Years ago when I worked for a cell phone company, some people would get angry enough to say "I'll be speaking to my lawyer about this soon!" That is literally music to the ears of front line workers. The minute you say that (or anything else that implies you're about to take legal action), by company policy you're forwarded to our legal department and every contact you have with us must be forwarded to our legal department; no matter how minor. Need to pay a bill? Legal Department! Want to upgrade your phone? Legal Department! Basic question about how many minutes you have left? Legal Department! And your account would be flagged; the front people and phone CSR's are literally forbidden you speak with you! Now, imagine having to go through all that just because you thought the $35 rebate was automatic and instead was one you had to mail in...

1:30 I cannot express how insanely accurate this is...I won't say which store specifically, as It's possible I go back and I think they don't like it...But we use a system that is around 20 - 25 years old. It's a solid blue screen with yellow text that you press F2 or F4 most of the time with no mouse input, while also constantly freezing...If you need a visual, its damn near identical to the scene in the Simpsons where Homer goes above 300 pounds to become disabled, then uses the water-drinking bird to press Y. All you have to do is change the colors to Blue and Yellow and it's jus that.

What's also funny is I worked at a liquor store in a small town that was decades ahead of this leading tech store in their software, and I can't believe I once considered that to be dated.

[@cloedavenport]

That McDonald's one was funny but it irked me a teeny bit. Yes, it's because they are cleaning it. Usually. But sometimes it is actually needing maintenance. They serve untold amounts of ice cream every single day. Constantly using the machine necessitates upkeep to work properly. And, cleaning for your food safety. Most places mentioned that are open 24 hrs. Now usually don't serve ice cream after a certain time until after breakfast the following day for those reasons. 👍

[@dogofwar6769]

Story #33 There's actually a reason why the McDonald's ice cream machines break down a lot, and it's because of straight up corporate corruption. Basically McDonald's corporation is just crazy corrupt. Part of this is that they mandate that individual locations use this same model of ice cream machine that is *_designed_* to be unservaciable by the local location. Worse is that the machine itself is a complete POS and it breaks down all the time. It'll break down if you load it wrong. It'll break down if over load it. It'll break down if you don't load it *_enough._* Each time the machine throws an error code they have to seen a technician out to 'service' it when usually involves little more than just resetting the error code and reloading the ingredients in the correct order. But each time they have to seen a service tech out it costs the local location a ton of money.

[@imaginaryinkorporated5935]

Delivery driver here. When you order food through a delivery app, check the address of the place you're ordering from and tip based on distance for better/faster service. I recommend about $1.50 per mile. Most of our pay comes from tips as the apps only pay us about $2-$3 per delivery. I decline any order that doesn't pay at least $1 per mile because they just aren't worth it for me, and there are other drivers that go with even higher rates. I don't care if you only ordered 1 sandwich, I'm not driving it 15 miles to you for $5. If you think that's too expensive then you probably shouldn't be ordering delivery. Sorry, but that's just the fact of it. Drivers have to factor in things like, cost of gas, vehicle maintenance, and how long the delivery will take when deciding which orders to accept. If the rate of pay doesn't make it worth our time your order will just get bounced around until either it gets declined by every active driver in the area or a new driver who's too inexperienced not to know better than to accept every order yet takes it. You also need to tip through the app. Cash tips sound better in theory but, again, the app itself only offers a couple dollars per delivery and we have no guarantee of a cash tip on the order. Saying in the instructions that you'll tip cash on delivery doesn't help because we don't see that information when choosing to accept or decline the order. Also, if you frequently have trouble getting food delivered from a specific restaurant it's probably because that place is constantly backed up on orders and no one want to waste a half hour or more just waiting on the food to be ready when we could be doing other deliveries. Many experienced drivers will essentially auto-decline orders from problematic merchants to avoid the time sink. And for the love of everything MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM THE STREET! If it's dark out make sure the numbers are lit up somehow so we can actually find your house and not have to guess! Reflective numbers on mailboxes are also great so we can keep our line of sight closer to the road!

Most stuff you hear here is where I would say: It's not the fault of the leaders anymore. It's the fault of society not changing their views because everyone is afraight to loose their fourth or third job they need to survive. Not to live but survive. People barely realize that they can even change jobs quickly to better paid ones and if you do this in bigger masses you will bring down the crappy institutions too most of the time. Nobody wants to bother and just waits until things start to burn and then it's too late to change anything, because you're knee-deep in shit. The "me me me, more, cheaper" only affects the consumer-part and not the working-part (which would be "me, me, me, less work-time, same pay" which results in the same amount of work to be done. Yeah, its bogged down far and wide. Everyone with at least a single brain cell left will know that this isn't easy to achieve. But also: Its not hard either. It's just uncomfortable for some time and not for the workers. Mostly). Edit: Once in over 25 years was an ice-cream machine broken. Germany has much stricter laws when it comes to sanitary rules. We enjoy our ice-cream every day of the year. Well, I just go to smaller businesses and not those crappy big ones, yet the oreo-shake from burger king is kind of neat. Stay crunchy.

Also, forgot to mention this. The ice cream machine isn’t usually broken and actually gets cleaned every night at closing. If you order and are told it’s broken, chances are you ordered it in the drive thru during a rush and they time how long the cars at the window and in line and if the wait time is too long everyone gets in trouble for that so we’ll say the machine is broken I order to keep times low. If you want ice cream and you’re in the drive thru just come inside instead.

One day we were all pulled into a meeting where we were told that the night before an underage girl had come in with a fake ID and ended up getting raped on her way home (she got into a car with someone, possibly spiked we didnt get a huge amount of information) we were all told to keep our mouths shut and not talk about it and it was literally just swept under the rug. (I was a barback so, i didnt serve drinks or anything like that)

[@timjoe8392]

I mean when I worked mcds for a bit, me and one the managers had a conversation about people always asking if the shake machine was down/ the fact that it's still a meme. I'm only speaking from experience but except for 2 days where it was broke broke, our machine was only down for cleaning. In fact the soda machine out in the lobby was more busted, since it never gave out carbonated drinks. I guess what I'm trying to say is I never experienced the shake machine being down that much to say it's even relatable or funny. With that being said I'm so glad I don't work there anymore.

I learned from a hotel that I frequented the they will hold lost items for two weeks before it goes to the “trash”, exceptions are made if it’s not a particularly expensive item like a laptop, where they will go out of their way to try to work with you to return it for the sake of getting a good review

[@VTPPGLVR]

I used to work at a doctor’s office. Our location had to go to a billing training seminar with other doctor’s offices in our area. The trainer essentially said something like “And we all know it’s illegal to put limits on how many Medicare patients a doctor may see.” Everyone else was nodding while my office and I started sweating. Turns out even our supervisor hadn’t heard of that law because the doctors would fire people over not following that rule. There was also a patient who would verbally abuse every worker and we were told just to reschedule any other patient so we can see that guy whenever he wanted to. After he gave me a panic attack on the phone and my manager had to deal with him, that patient wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone below a manager. He was finally fired as a patient a couple of years later.

If you ask for no-salt fries in drive thru, and refuse to move, then ask for salt packets we cough in your bag. Stopped during pandemic but we would not give you things if you were drive thru. Napkins, straw etc. If you wait we'd pass food out the other window (no curb so cars drove off) and let you sit while we lock the window you're at. 10/10 would do again. Come scream at me, throw food on the ground. I've cleaned up a toddler tantrum before. You wanna throw hands? Sure, I'll take care of you then too. All karens get treated as they deserve. Have a good day. 😀

[@imjustezzy2076]

As a person that's worked in a restaurant if you're coughing in someone's food for any reason it's really time to pack it up and find another job that shit is disgusting. I get it people treat you like shit people used to treat me like shit too but I would never in good conscious temper with anyone's food Just hand them off to the manager I don't get paid enough to deal with them. And if your truly fighting a customer for like $13 an hour then yeah need I say more about how your life must be going

[@Arak_Drakoniz]

Most places I’ve worked genuinely don’t believe the whole customer-is-always right bs. The only reason they tried to do things the customer’s way is because they didn’t want customers acting like petulant children.

[@timothymoore8619]

Just started this video, but it it's not mentioned all of panera breads pastries come in frozen, the bread comes already made and shaped with only needed to score and eggwash certain ones every 1-3 days depending on how busy the location is, produce depending on the management of the location might have been mixed with literal mold covered produce with the moldy pieces cut off, also only receiving produce on the same schedule as the dough

[@timothymoore8619]

Also all the soups are frozen then reheated, and all of the meat is either frozen thawed or comes in boxes with packages of deli meat, also the stickers that tell you when something expires are changed instead of the product inself unless you have an attentive worker or it's disgusting

[@SnausageKing]

Story 13- this is a very weird misunderstanding where everyone changed their interpretation of the law. autism is a category under special education law that school psychologists used to evaluate students for, but now it’s considered only something that medical professionals can test for (meaning the parents will pay after we use some wishy washy language, or we’ll simply use a different category to give them services)

[@Donkeyearsa]

Back when I was a kid in the very early 70s it was just called a learning disability, where kids who had autism where sent to special schools and where never expected to ever hold a job. There was no such thing as High-Functioning Autism back then either you where basically institutionalized or you did not have autism.

14:52 You blame the fast food chain when its the legislation that doesn't allow them to have right to repair the machine themselves in the U.S and besides who do you think made it so hard to clean the machines to begin with? Totally not the manufactorers right? Had you gone to any McDonalds or Burger King in countries that has good standards of living you'd see a vast difference.

[@duckmunday]

15:14 the reasonw why McDonald's ice cream machined always break is because the makers made them to break because only they can fix it so McDonald's has to pay to get it fixed which makes the ice cream company a lot of money

[@AzariahWolf]

The Burger King ice cream machine guy is 100% correct. The reason it is ALWAYS "broken" is that it has to be cleaned by a trained individual, or it voids the warranty. A lot of places don't have enough people who qualify. At Chick-fil-A, we close at 10, and always made sure that one of the qualified individuals has a closing shift.

As someone working in retail (more specifically at the service desk), we aren’t out to get you. Corporate is very much out to get you, and unfortunately they monitor our work very closely. If you call a manager to get your way, it’s likely that the first person you spoke too was correct, and the manager may just give you what you want to avoid a scene or negativity associated with the store.

[@chcknmr]

I work at a 76 Rockets market gas station in Oceanside CA, sometimes I get so caught up on answering social media posts over doing my assigned tasks that things like restocking the beer and changing out the roller grill food in a timely manner don’t get done and yet I’m sure my bosses know this is the case but still pay me for my time anyways, Also I’m supposed to give refunds if you need them but I understand the math on this to be sometimes confusing so I may either just give you what you need or try to find a coworker who can do the job for me

Former Fedex employee here, every package you send is dropped/thrown at least FOUR times per sorting facility. By the way, the sorting people sit below a large 45 degrees angle slide that boxes slide down before they're thrown on the destination-based conveyer belts - STOP SHIPPING WATER HEATERS, only a matter of time before someone gets killed.

Can attest to the ice cream thing but I told people that the machine was being clean. I didn't give a shit I was honest with customer I was a manager

9:10 Yeeaaah, so DoorDash's base pay to drivers for an order is $2.50 (+$1-$2 if it's busy). A $14 delivery fee is definitely not going towards a fair pay; tipping is a must. Your order will just stay in limbo until a driver that doesn't know better accepts it.

[@lazywallstreetnews7234]

Ex-Wall Street regulator here. Big firms like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc. have such huge budgets and insane amounts of money that a lot of times they'll have an official account in their ledgers dedicated to fines/penalties. I've walked into several of these banks and been asked in very clear terms, how much do we need to pay to make you go away?

[@DaveC2729]

Padding delivery time estimates is just plain good business. Much better to give yourself extra time than to break a promise! So by all means, if you think it'll actually take 15 minutes to bring my pizza, tell me it'll be half an hour. If it'll be half an hour, tell me it'll be 45 minutes and you can't guarantee it'll be hot. I seriously, 100% approve, because you totally can't predict traffic and I'd rather have a pleasant surprise than a disappointment.

I can chime on on the house sauce one. So many sauces are so fucking simple. -truffle mayo? Literally in the name. Supermarket truffle paste + mayo - chili mayo? Supermarket chili sauce + mayo and a bit of piri piri herbs -port sauce? Supermarket brown sauce base + port -lemon mayo? You guessed it, mayo + lemon juice Granted, we used to make a lot more things fresh. But the owners wanted to "save money" as much as possible after the recent inflation, and now like 90% of the sauces and soups have a simple store bought base.

[@kirbstagoontheaxolotl]

I work in a cafe. Did my work experience at this particular place too (It's how I got hired) and I can tell you with 100% certainty that they just use the same frozen chips you can get at Woolworths tossed in a deep fryer. How do I know this? First two days of work experience I was helping the kitchen out back, that's how

[@DoomsdayR3sistance]

McDonald's ice cream machines are designed to "break" extremely easily, the majority of times that they break, it gives a very abstract error when the real error is "Too much liquid in tank", yeah, they "break" because they have too much in them... easily fixed by just removing some of the liquid.

My dad worked for a big Cruise Company in Europe. If a passenger had a Problem. My dad and an other worked got high rank Uniforms. (They we're trainees). They do this so passengers think that their Problem is important. Once, an elderly couple said that they're hearing strange noises from the vents. So my dad and the other trainee went to the cabin and heard nothing. So the other trainee said: I heard it too. He opened the vent and placed a screw in it. Then he said: See? Its a lose screw. I'm sorry for that. My dad's mind: wth The couple then thanked and my dad and the other trainee leaved. Like I said. Its a Company rule to Do this. You aren't alowed to say: I dont hear anything. You need to solve the Problem even if there isn't one.

[@livewellwitheds6885]

10:57 i see multiple sides to this. after using heroin & other opiates for 2 years, i used to go to NA [which is basically AA for narcotics users] and also got on suboxone. overall sobriety, counting the 2 relapses i have had, would be 4-5 years. but if i count from last relapse it would only be 3 years. i do think harm reduction is extremely important, but also some people are better with total abstinence [which for some means avoiding any/all substances & drugs even legal ones, for others it may just be a very strict stance on any kind of narcotic including for medical stuff] it can also be extremely difficult to emotionally deal with the shame/guilt/possible emotional triggers that come up when you relapse after investing a lot into your recovery. having a good sponsor or other support system really helps. its really difficult to feel like you can be proud of how many years clean you have when you have had relapses, but also relapses obviously dont erase all that sober time [and the coping skills/supports you have learned how to use on the way] i also feel like it doesnt help that often "success" in recovery looks like permanent sobriety, so sometimes people can feel like they are doing it right/not actually being successful, even if they are clean 99% of the time. idk if any of this makes sense 😅 i tried

The reason our gas pumps are currently down is not due to some gas shortage It's because all of our gas pumps are effectively just a fancy interface for a program running on a crappy windows XP computer in the back of the little gas station shack that is basically covered in a blanket of dust and buried behind a bookshelf When this thing goes down which it does often we have to call support which takes about 10 to 15 minutes and then wait another 10 to 15 minutes while support remotes into the crappy Windows XP computer and then about another 10 to 15 minutes after that for them to actually fix it

[@arentol7]

I don't know how it is today, but it used to be the EPA topped out at fining 25k/day. If it cost 26k/day or more to dispose of waste properly than it did to dispose of it improperly it was suddenly an ethical decision whether to do the right thing or not. This was made worse by the fact that once you were paying the fine you would likely have to spend hundreds of thousands or millions to get the 26k+ solution in place, making it even less worth it. Then to make it far worse, you would have to keep paying the fine even after you made the changes until you get a chance to have the EPA back in to inspect and remove the fine. Thing is though that they would always send a different inspector who would find new things wrong, including sometimes literally telling you to do what you used to be doing that the last guy said to stop doing. So you spend a million on fixes and now you still need to spend 200k more, and in the meantime you are paying 51k instead of 25k/day. This is why this kind of thing happens a lot.

[@aShadowWizard69]

Ok the McDonald's ice cream machines need so clearing up. There are sometimes where those machines are genuinely broken. The problem with them is that only Taylor, the manufacturer of said machines, is qualified to fix them by contract with McDonald's and they are notorious for never having enough staff in the areas they service to fix them and this is all because they are over engineered garbage that require specialized tools to take apart that Taylor purposely doesn't sell to franchises

this is for the AAA you know why the drinking and driving paradigm took so long to be accepted in and be believed because back in the seventies and eighties when is first started you know people try to do something the Good ol boys didn't take it seriously. because they did not tell me that drinking and driving was just like playing guns with your best friend using your dad's pistols right. consequences of drinking and driving took like couple decades to counter the good old boy the early eighties is still legal to drive down to Wyoming highway with an open container in the military early 80s you could drink a six-pack of beer for lunch and then go back to work and no problem nobody will admit it but it was that whole culture of hard soldiering and hard partying in the military and then the good old boy Network in the civilian world that really hampered the drinking and driving reality that we needed to face as a society I will never get behind the wheel again after you know consuming an alcoholic beverage with in you know two hours or so and as I said I wish they would have been able to equate drinking and driving with something serious and deadly and serve like doing the good old boys shuffle your feet look at your toes and slide Grand kind of crap cuz that's what really slow down the process my elders and what they were willing to pass down to my generation so yeah here's some genex to the boomers thanks a lot for nothing y'all. despite it all I never hurt anybody think God.
