On Frontier, I have saved my trio $120 on the CIC fee, plus we get our seats assigned for free. We live 25m from DIA, and Frontier staff is there all the time. I can usually get the whole thing (purchase plus commute) in an hour. $120 is a nice hourly rate. 

I like the idea - but we are also teaching our six year old how to read a clock. So the five min (or more) usually involves a clock for him to read as well. 

A few years ago my office hosted a marketing event for non employees and had security at a non secured door checking for employee and attendee badges. It was the guard’s first day, so they asked me (a product guy) to help. Telling entitled middle management sneaking in to go back to their car or back home for their…

Bad comedians laugh at their own jokes and preach. Good comedians make people laugh, full stop.

I have a shirt with the KC Chiefs logo in a Punisher cutout. It is awesome and I wear it all over Denver.

I get receiving e-statements instead of paper ones, bidets instead of toilet paper, trying to outlaw junk mail, but books??? People tend to keep their books, or sell them. Why the hate for books? 

Semis use GPS to get from Denver to Aspen and every now and again one ends up on Independence Pass. A gorgeous drive, unless you are in a vehicle that literally can’t fit on the road.

I have the 4x4 GC Overland, as does much of Denver. For punchy acceleration, I have to shift into Sport mode (and back down to D at low speeds). Still for all the bells and whistles (panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, wood and leather, Wifi, plus all the capability) it is a nice value vs. vehicles that check the…

They are not nearly as wide spread, especially outside major cities. 

That is a weird example. Folgers and Maxwell House are older than Starbucks.

Because the store doesn’t carry it. I was looking for a washing machine valve box. The $40 one is carried by Home Depot in store. The $15 one is only carried by Homedepot.com, and Amazon. Warehouse space is cheaper than shelf space.

The best redemption by cents/mile are business class international flights and high end hotels in the Maldives. For folks who can't get that kind of time off work, there is nothing wrong getting a reasonable redemption to save some dollars.

I spent 10 years working in consumer goods... Expiration dates and the like for non-perishables are more about ensuring what you think you will get is actually inside the package. Like the cereal inside is nice and crispy, or the toothpaste ingredients haven’t fallen out of suspension. Still edible and safe past those…

Or I will taunt you a second time!

7-11s in Norway and Sweden were awesome - filed with cheap but tasty cakes and sandwiches that would end up in a high end Scandinavian cafe in the US. The Milka bars were all over the grocery stores and I brought them home to give as gifts. 

Sales offices. Some managers believe the more of a cock you are the more it shows you care. It’s stupid, there’s no excuse, and no one should put up with it.

I offered to pay my Dad’s way from MO to Denver for my wedding. He asked for the train. I checked the prices with air, same. He is older, in a small town... he loved it. If you have time, or like having time, it is a nice way to travel. 

You’re right - they aren’t free (except the 100K initial bonus on Sapphire Reserve... Even Jamie Dimon said they gave away the store on that one). I see it as getting as much value for my business as possible. 

If you have too much of a high balance, your credit score falls like a stone and impacts your ability to get more credit. Same thing if you only pay the minimum. It’s not a perfect system, but it is self correcting.

Because black men can't be good husbands and fathers? FUCK YOU.
