Washington, Jefferson etc. were traitors, too. So were folks like von Stauffenberg. The problem with the Confederacy isn’t that they were traitors; it’s what they decided to be traitors about. (And it wasn’t “states’ rights”, folks - unless you mean the right of states to perpetuate slavery.)

You had me until “Dow closing above 40,000".

Rock may have flown the Confederate flag at his shows for years, but apparently sticking one on the Cybertruck would be a bridge too far.

May all of the neo-Confederates like Rock be inflicted with the dysentery and privation that killed so many of their treasonous role models during the Civil War.

Might be the single worst combination of words I’ve ever seen. 

I assume that since the charge is entered in the system and that the vast majority of customers paid by credit card, the company has an accounting audit trail for every cent. Unless they were somehow able to refund the overcharges to a different payment method, I’m not sure how they could skim.

They absolutely do that. When I switched from Hertz to National last year, they were perfectly happy to status-match my President’s Circle status to Exe Elite with them.

Its weird that someone in the Presidents Circle at Hertz couldn’t get this resolved immediately using their hotline. If those clowns didn’t give me an answer I wanted to hear in 5 minutes, I would have called my credit card company. Maybe the Hertz accounting department could explain to American Express why $277 was…

My thought too. Their complete inability (or refusal) to even entertain logic and common sense makes this seem soooooooper scammy. “Quick! Add on a bunch of shit, then close the contract immediately!” Then go full-on Sgt. Schultz when inevitably the customer calls up yelling a series of WTFs....

Based on my expectations for Hertz, I assume any customer service rep who agrees to a refund gets fired. Maybe not immediately on the spot, but that Hertz finds a way to get rid of them as soon as possible, so everyone on staff knows what will happen if they provide actual customer service. 

If Enterprise or Avis were smart, they’d publicly invite the Hertz customer to rent with them and match his status.

The policy that charges gas for an EV... totally agree. As far as the customer service: typically, it’s laziness combined with poor management. That is, the employee would have to put in some sort of exception to get the refund, and with that additional effort, that employee would have to spend the next 2 weeks…

Every time I read a story like this, it feels malicious. Like some one deliberately added the charge out of boredom or something. 

There’s a reason ACAB is becoming a thing, you know.

Yeah- the cops dont give a shit about your car. You will never see your car in operating condition again if you wait for the cops.

Whoops, sounds like you don’t know how airtags work and instead of figuring it out you just announced it to the chat.

It didn’t seem odd to you that people are able to track lost luggage with them?

Pretty useless? You know how often a motorcycle would get within 30 meters of an iPhone on its path to its final destination? Pretty damn often. Plus, why would you stop using them? It’s not like they require any ridiculous regular maintenance.

Because they ping off other apple devices in the wild. If another apple device “sees” an airtag it updates the location.

This. This comment is comedy gold:

The Police recommended against tracking down and taking back your own vehicle, but when asked if they would do anything to recover a vehicle for a citizen, even if they were presented with proof of ownership and tracking details, they said, “hahahhaha, No. Why would we do that?”
