Amazing how one person's actions were so odious to Capt. Value, while the system wide horrors
in his airline go unmentioned..

I like how they skip the fact that their fees are as much or more as the actual tickets themselves.
THATS what pisses people off....pffft morons...

A Pilot's Perspective On Woman Removed From Plane For Asking If Captain Had Been Drinking

Commented by AugustaCassiopeia:
1:48 PM on August 6, 2010

The pilot's reply is disingenuous for a number of reasons.

1. Apparently the pilot has never dealt with Airlines from the consumer side. I doubt
any passenger can reliably expect an airline to provide room and board when they
are barred from a flight, for any reason.

2. While I understand a pilot's need to protect their reputation, this isnt child molestation.
Should we campaign to get cops fired if one suspects we're drunk, makes us take
a Breathalyzer that turns up 0% alcohol in someone's system? This is whiny bullshit
from a wittle man dat got his wittle feelings hurt.

3. No one loses their license for being sober on a plane.

4. MULTIPLE people agreed that they smelled vodka, why was this woman singled out
for an airlines finest to harass?

5. According to this overpaid button pusher, NO pilots EVER drink and fly and thats
just 1st rate bullshit of the worst kind.

Find a new mortgage broker. 20% down payment and 800+ FICO = great terms anywhere.

Tell Mr. Open-A-Bunch-of-Cards to take a hike and have a nice day..

Walmart Asks You To Please Have Your Receipt Ready

Commented by AugustaCassiopeia:

If these were actual checks, you *might* have a point by having the greeter accuse every single customer of being a thief. The problem is, they dont even do that. I could pay for 16 items, slip 3 more in the bags and the greeter, "checking my receipt" would never notice. They do not go thru every item.

As it stands now, Walmart just blanket accuses every customer of theft, then wastes their
time glancing at a little piece of paper before letting the customer walk out (thief or not).

Walmart Asks You To Please Have Your Receipt Ready

I just start yelling STOP! THIEF! when they ask for mine. I yell it until they've looked over
the receipt and decided that the MONEY I PAID FOR THE DAMN ITEMS is sufficient
for me to leave the damn store with them.

Is Ordering Drinks Without Ice Just A Scam To Get More Delicious Beverage?

Considering how insanely high the markup/profit margin on drinks in any restaurant, its criminally stupid for them to do this crap.

Steve Jobs: All Smartphones Have The Same Problem, But Here's A Free Case

EXACTLY.

Its bullshit that they even released the phone in this shape. Apparently, beating the competitor to market is more important/critical than releasing a product that lives up to all the hype Apple
built before release.

Nice work Steve. Seriously glad to be ditching my 3G for an Android.
