I seriously doubt that is the real reason. Companies as big as H&M factor in projected shoplifting losses before they even open a store. It's all accounted for. Telling you that is the reason is clever though, because a.) It makes it seem like it's not their fault the company is doing badly b.) it makes it seem like…

Eh, you should probably blame your fellow employees for fucking themselves and you over before getting sick over some dumb teenagers. Because retail employees steal approximately 5 times the amount of retail goods than shoplifters and businesses prefer to blame the losses on customers rather than admitting their…

I read that and was like "What does it mean to drink like a woman today? It means DOWN A HALF BOTTLE OF GIN WITH A DASH OF PINK, bitches!"

My doctor holds my birth control prescription hostage if I don't get one every year even though if you are healthy and low risk, they are only reccomended every 3 years. It's lame but my insurance covers it so I suck it up and go.

Because of kinja, the first line of your paragraph read as:

To me, it feels like being scratched by a ghost. On the inside.

I don't have Instagram and have never done the filter thing, but seriously give me a fucking break here. I certainly have done color correction on a washed out photo on my computer back in the day when I used a digital camera. To call doing a quick overall wash on the entire photo "photoshopping" is ridiculous.

Let he who hasn't used an Instagram filter cast the first stone.

You could easily do it on as low as 15/hr (I supported a friend through a really bad year at that, rent and all expenses, not gonna get into why), below that, you really should always be looking for better opportunities. I Don't believe that minimum wage jobs should be permanent for anyone.

You should probably not attempt to support more than one person if you done make enough money.

just wanted to applaud you, you're doing a very good job of replying to all the backlash for your first statement, and you're keeping it factual. i like that you are spelling out why the bank is able to do what is doing and that you are backing it up with all the emergency room, protected characteristics data etc. Its…

I just think that it is stupid for we, as a society, to think that every has a right to a savings account. Emergency care is a very, very specific thing we think everyone has a right to. I'm not about to put banking in there.

Private as in "non-governmental," honey. Not privately held/publicly traded. Even the federal government is allowed to discriminate based on profession, so even if I were to admit that it's a "semi-public" or governmental institution (which I don't), profession STILL isn't a protected characteristic.

Yeah, that's right. They think all that. And they're allowed to. And they won't be making a profit off of those customers who they don't deem appropriate. And they won't be making a profit off of those customers that don't think that Chase should have come to that conclusion. But it's okay for them to make that…

Sure, of course, criticize away. That's what I meant by "People who don't like it can take their money elsewhere." But it's a business decision. Language like "banks shouldn't have the right to..." makes me think that this author thinks that it shouldn't be allowed.

This strikes me as being super similar to people throwing around "Free Speech!" when you're dealing with private organizations.

Preach. Whenever we get new hires that complain about work ("this isn't a fun job"/"this isn't what my professors told me it would be like"/"I don't like this project") I am quick to remind them it's why none of us work for free. And in my experience, any job, even one that is your passion, is going to have shitty…

Exactly. My expectations for a job are pretty low: decent compensation, not expecting me to put in 60 or 70 hours a week, and doing something I don't hate. I can get fulfilment outside of my job. Your job is not your life.

I can feel some sympathy for her for wanting to wear pants, but she went with jeans. Red or not, male or female, you don't wear jeans to prom! A line must be drawn. Again, to clarify: pants are okay, jeans are not.

Are you going to admit that you didn't read the whole comment or are you going to pretend that didn't happen?
