LOL okay. 

The employee in charge of that also bailed out early that day.

Hertz can swear out a false report for the not-stolen vehicles. There have been several cases of people yanked from cars with guns aimed at them and fingers on triggers, with cops screaming to “stop resisting” as the cops do a knee drop onto their head because Hertz did just that.

My first thought also! Never let a silly thing like causing a major publicity nightmare get in the way of some good ole’ customer abuse!

How many people did this?

From what I hear about Hertz, two years from now, Johnnie Law will show up on their front porch with a warrant for car theft.

See the court case Finders v Keepers.

The most surprising part about all of this is that Hertz didn’t try to immediately arrest all of the customers.

In some parts of the US it is very difficult to find house not under an HOA. They are endemic in Florida, less common in Oregon unless you have a shared amenity like a community pool. I had a pickup on jacks in my driveway for a month, and nobody cared. 

How did these become so ubiquitous in the States.

Basically, the HOA is saying that the state law lacks the language that would enforce them to not enact the pickup rule against the residents and until the law contains that language, there isn’t much that residents of The Meadows can do.”

Some residents have taken to parking their trucks in a pay lot over half a mile from the neighborhood,

It’ll stay around for a long time as a physical media, I just think it’s value in the rental market has all but depleted. People still value physical media that they OWN. Vinyl Records are at the highest sales since the 90s. I very specifically buy movies I want to OWN, movies that are meaningful to me, movies that

The company that spreads grass fertilizer at my work has a box asking for a tip amount when you go through their online portal to pay now. It defaults to 20% and you have to pick custom tip to make it say zero.

That blurb the content creator uses to summarize the ethics of his channel is the weirdest part. It’s such an odd mix of politics which aren’t particularly related to tipping culture.

It frustrates me to no end that the current refrain is that the best way to resolve unfair pay practices towards financially vulnerable restaurant employees is to exacerbate it by stiffing said employees. Like, what the fuck do you expect them to do, just quit and hope like hell they find a better paying job?

The people at the high end restaurant generally are expected to be better at their jobs. (ymmv) They aren’t expected to ‘get butter’ and ‘refill drinks’ because the butter is supposed to be there in sufficient quantity 100% of the time, not being doled out in tiny amounts to deter use. Drinks are the same with high

America never looks the same decade to decade. Never has, and doesn’t even want to.

Yes corporations and businesses across the board have hidden exorbitant price increases under blanket excuses because we’ve shown them we’ll let them get away with it. This really hit high gear with ‘supply chain issues’ and then

Case in point: Japan has a non-existent tipping culture (service staff will be even embarassed if you try to tip them, which can be considered a faux-pas on the part of the customer).

It’s not okay to wait a month for a doctor’s appointment, it’s not okay to have dirty streets in the city with one of the highest income taxes. And it’s not okay to put the responsibility on paying waiter’s salary on the customer. It’s time for change.
