Apparently my grandpa bought a brand-new GT500 for something like $2k (nobody wanted one back then) and traded it in for a K-Car in the 80's...I think they gave him something like $600 for it.

Huh....that’s really weird. I know for certain we have stainless Cambro pans, as my boss lady would call them “Cambrios,” so I proved her wrong by finding one with the Cambro name on it. She stills calls them “Cambrios,” which drives me up the wall. lol

Cambro’s mostly known for their stainless steel pans, which is what we used, but yeah, the amber ones are microwave-safe. We use those at Subway for the meatballs, which are boiling after the proper cooking cycle.

When did you work there? We’d throw the burned patties in a dry heat drawer, then bag them up at the end of the night; then morning shift would chop them up with a metal lid, and boil them in a Cambro.

Yeah, it’s the old-school RJ34 line; keep in mind my boss finally talked the owner into upgrading from DSL. lol

Yup! I think they power themselves with solar energy. One downside is that the towers are pretty easily overwhelmed during an emergency; we got hit with a tornado a while back, and I couldn’t get service for 4 days.

Can’t afford tickets to Canada, eh?

You could polish the blades, doh; a pretty common media for polishing metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, and nickel, to be exact) is crushed walnut shells.

Have a landline at work...the sound quality is atrocious, to say the least. Not sure where the Hell Stephen’s getting his info, but...no. Just...no.

As I stated in a prior comment, e911 uses the GPS on your cellphone to pin-down your exact location. They can also triangulate your last-known location using cell-tower data in case you go missing.

Next to no SPAM calls, but you use it for telemarketers?

Agreed; I have Boost Mobile, and I pay $22 / month for 2Gb. That includes insurance on a phone I paid for in-full, even if I lose it, it gets stolen, or even if I just get pissed off and smash it. I also get unlimited free talk + text to Canada, the US, Mexico, and Ukraine.

Cellphones also work during power outages, but they have the unique benefit of being able to be charged by a USB powerbank. The last few times I had power outages, I just hooked my phone up to the powerbank, connected it to a BT speaker, turned on Spotify, and jammed-out while browsing the web. If a cordless phone’s…

Why wouldn’t you prefer a text for a reminder of an appointment? If you forget the time or date, you can scroll back and find that information. Can’t really do that with a phone call.

I work a job where it isn’t unheard of to be assaulted, battered, robbed, or possibly murdered. I actually have an app called OpenCamera that lets me begin recording just by pressing one of the volume buttons; the way I carry my phone, it actually acts like a bodycam. If I’m ever involved with a violent encounter, I…

Sorry for your loss! Can you not regain access to his # through the ISP? Seems like they’d be able to help you out there.

“I’ll plug it back in when I need to call 911 because of accuracy. Medics can’t find you if you call 911 on your cell, but on a landline they know exactly where you are.”

We’ve got a customer at work who happens to stumble across weird currency / coins. I think we had two $2 bills for, liek, a week...then, a lot of the time he pays with $1 coins.

No, they live in their boyfriend’s grandparents’ trailer. Ask me how I know. :)

Also: don’t be an asshole and place 4 separate orders just so you can game the system. We stay busy at my store, and the last thing we need when we have a line out the door and 5 or 6 mobile orders on-deck while we’re understaffed is some prick making a catering order during a rush.
