I have almost never had an issue with self checkout. It's even best at Sam's Club where you get your own scan gun and can find the barcode on each package and zap it. Sam's Club also has the best in bulk prices for Ice Mountain water which is objectively the best bottled water so they are good in my book.

I can't move from Wells Fargo even if I wanted to because my University only does banking and direct deposit pay through WF, and I work on campus. Also my parents and siblings all have WF accounts and we use them to transfer amounts to eachother all the time if we need to. It would be a huge hassle unfortunately, because WF loving sucks for what they did.

bongwizzard posted:I've had to do that for many years, but during that time I was still not dumb enough to keep my money in the checking account, if you only got a couple hundred dollars to your name, keep that poo poo under the mattress. I mean I always had a checking account, but when the money dips below the panic level you got a pull that poo poo out and sleep on it like a dragon. your checking account is insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC should a bank fail or defraud you. You have 0 risk when having a checking account with money in it. How Rude has a new favorite as of 20:58 on Mar 23, 2017 |

bongwizzard posted:Dude come on did you even read the rest of the slap fight we're having? The poo poo the banks were doing was hidden under the guise of the fees one agrees to when one opens a checking account. Someone with $350 to their name isn't terribly likely to be able to pursue a claim with the FDIC in a real timely manner. this problem was specific to Wells Fargo because of its toxic management practices and business environment for its low level employees and is not indicative of banks and financial institutions as a whole

ToxicSlurpee posted:Every major bank does terrible things and has for decades. None of them are good; they're varying degrees of bad. I'm saying not every checking account is going to get every single bank to open more and give you fees without your permission. There are major banks that do bad poo poo but it's not like a major fraud crisis every single day like what happened with WF. Basically what I am saying is bank with your credit unions and local banks.

JB50 posted:Theres a place by me called pizza ranch that does a pretty good pizza buffet. The pizza is OK, but they have some killer fried chicken and a pretty decent salad bar. Its one of the places I can get my kids to agree to, so we go there once a week or so. They will even make the pizza you want fresh when you come in and bring it to your table. Pizza Ranch is really delicious, their soft serve ice cream is also some of the creamiest stuff I have ever had I never tire of their BBQ fried chicken, because I am a fat goon. they are mostly Midwestern I think (out of Iowa) so you tend to see them all over Minnesota

Krispy Kareem posted:Part of the perfect storm that was 2007 was caused by rating agencies giving AAA's to anything with a pulse. A lot of institutional investors have rules against investing in anything below an A rating, but because of grade inflation they had way too much money tied up in really bad bets. That probably won't happen again for awhile. The incredible destruction of wealth that happened in the last recession isn't normal. You usually don't see retirement and pension plans hit that hard. Part of the problem was also the Federal government pressuring their lending institutions to give out AAA housing loans to so many people that could never afford the houses for which they were borrowing. When all those rampant foreclosures happened a lot of people ended up homeless and the banks involved were stuck with a bunch of expensive houses that no one could afford and so had no way to regain all the money that was spent. It was a perfect shitstorm of incompetence and greed.

Sorta makes me glad my parents were behind a generation of purchasing videogames as gifts for my older siblings because I got more than just two overpriced cartridges. When stores were liquidating their old consoles when the new ones hit, the games were dirt cheap. 20 bucks for a new N64 game when the Gamecube came out. Funcoland had gobs of cheap used SNES and Genesis games, and I was spoiled enough by being able to play both SNES and Genesis games.

The problem with fast food is that people are realizing that the food isn't much cheaper than an actual restaurant or fast dining experience at a local place. The only chain I have found to not taste like microwaved garbage (because it isn't microwaved garbage) is Culver's but you'll only get that in the Midwest. Either that or you get MSG laden chinese takeout because it tastes that good.

Our local Chinese buffet is owned by the nicest family and they keep their restaurant clean and the food is usually kept fresh/hot. Some of their items are also handmade (I know for sure they make the wontons by hand because we have seen them wrapping wontons in the restaurant) Place owns and is a real treat when friends/family are really jonesing for good Chinese

Grand Prize Winner posted:Speaking of denim, where can you get good denim these days? I got a bunch of Levi jeans as I got into high school and stopped growing and they all lasted until I hit 27 or so. All the new stuff seems to only last 2-3 years of use. Not even hard use, just occasional construction/demolition and warehouse work. Speak as a white collar fat guy, I really like US Polo Assn. for their carpenter jeans. They are super comfy and it took four years of consistent wear for them to start showing age Unfortunately with the death of Sears and Bonton stores I have nowhere in town to find these besides online.

Trabant posted:A few years back my megacorp offered a very generous voluntary severance package to nearly everyone in the company. I can't speak for everyone else but it was nearly half of my salary in a good job market so... twist my arm, guess I'll gtfo. I remember thinking at the time that they'll screw themselves over if it turns out to be a popular option. So much internal knowledge and experience could be gone in a flash. It astonishes me how few corporations follow best practices. They all do literally the opposite of what my capstone corporate management class taught me (I'm an Accountant). Legit baseline adequacy requires you respect your workers as human beings. Building resentment on your workforce is going to skyrocket turnover, and turnover is EXPENSIVE.
