I get ya tho All that shit is a tax on the poor. ATMs that let you pull out $10 at a time but still charge $3. Thats a 30% tax to access your money. Title loans at 1000% interest. I have also noticed that coinstar charges like 9% in the suburbs and I've seen it as high as 15% in the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILZ FILLZ Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Convenience fee is just a phrase I use for myself in my own life. I idea if that’s a real thing example for me is - not driving across town for a gas station because it’s a few cents cheaper per gallon. More convenient for me to go to the gas station on my block even though it may cost more. Also consider it a wash because of the gas that would be used to get home from the station across town just my own examples though same logic for beers, burritos etc im constantly doing these stupid equations in my head lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I went into a mini-mart in Chinatown with my dad back in the day when smokes were sneaking up on the five dollar mark. The cashier told him that a pack of Camel straights would be $5.05 to which my father exclaimed that he must be out of his mind if he thought that he would pay that, we proceeded to drive down the road a couple miles to the industrial area where they could be had for $4.95. I generally do not sweat the change but I do watch it. Hitting the cheap gas is a lot more meaningful when you ride a full sized truck, what a feeling when you have like the killer grocery store discount and max it out. It has been a non issue for me the past couple years but back when I had a 60 mile commute in a older suv it used to matter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hah. @KILZ FILLZ I do the same math and I dont even know why. I have such little respect for money I'll do a complex equation that would make my summer school algebra teacher proud to save 36 cents on a full tank of gas just to spend $200 at the cash register on local political trading cards trying to find the limited edition hologram comptroller card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILZ FILLZ Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Do you ever equate things to beers @mr.yuck? I find myself doing this one a lot too ”damn, I like that Tee but it’s $15. well, $15 is only three $5 beers... and I’d pay that bar tab with out batting an eye... so fuck it imma get that tee!” always, all the time its an illness lol 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The man knows what you know and then they discount it to control your mind, milk is a loss leader in many grocery chains because they know that people track the cost mentally and equate it with value in the store. I don't drink and haven't for years but still pull the "it would be a cheap bar tab" mental justification for things, especially entertainment and dinners out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I equate things all the time. But its on a much larger scale than beers. It usualy has to do with my employees. This is super fucked up on my part because the way I have set things up, it's not anybodies fault but my own. I pay my employees for a 40 hr work week no matter how long they work. If they get their tasks completed in 5 hrs, they can go home and get paid for 8. There have been weeks where we dont do anything but nobodies paychecks stop. So when we get back to work after being down for a week and motherfuckers are slacking or fucking shit up, I start equating how much I have paid them with how many pairs of versace loafers I could have bought. @mortonI also quit drinking and smoking years ago. I never worried about the price of anything really, mostly because I have always lived within my means, for what ever my means were at the time. However, I would always equate things to a case of beer or a carton of smokes even if I could easily afford what ever I was comparing and the beer and the smokes.

morton Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Funny, the loafer currency. For years I got paid for 8 and could leave early if I finished, it was great, a good motivator to work efficiently and offset the bummer that comes with no overtime. Then corporate got everyone those fucking ipads and now I gotta stand by and check in at the end of the day. And they say it's a free country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Coinstar is a rip, unless you convert the change into a gift card from one of their sponsors, then there's no charge. I don't mind in that sense (cents?), I have a can I throw pennies in. When it gets full I cash it in for an Amazon card and buy a book or two. BUT- I have a big wine jug I throw all my other change in. Fuck coinstar for that. The dilemma though, funny as it is, it's fucking hard to get a bank to take your fucking change. They have a coin counter, but they won't throw your shit in it. One bank had customer use coin counters for a while that got shut down after it was discovered that they were miscounting, not in the customer's favor of course. My current bank will only take rolled coins, which I don't get at all. I mean someone is going to have to open them shits up and run them through the coin counter, no? Otherwise how do they know they have the correct amount, or it's not a bunch of washers rolled up? When I need to take change in now I go with a relative to their bank that accepts the change. You run it through the counter yourself and then the teller gives you bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only every boss in construction played the game this way. There would be a hell of a lot more happy customers in the home improvement world. I gotta holler at you soon about that boss shit as I am considering finding a guy. Just one. I do NOT see myself as a boss, and I just don't know if I could really do it. I had a young apprentice kid for a couple months when I was working at the finish spray shop last year right before starting out on my own and It was basically like having a employee. Delegating shit to dudes and making sure a mf can feed they family is some next level responsibility though. Bosses suck. But you don't sound like you suck at all whatsoever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 @CLICKCLACKONERlol its all relative man. Your vendors costs might be through the roof. Your commission check might be bigger than their net profits. I stopped trying to count other peoples money a few years ago. I used to tell people a lot "if I had your hand, I'd cut mine off." Come to find out we'd all be running around handless. Lol @NightmareOnElmStreetbro. Respect. I think there are 2 different types of bosses. There are those that know everything about what they do and then there are those that have no practical knowledge but they understand how to run a business. For years Ive been the first type of boss where I know the business and I hire people that dont know shit that can earn while they learn. It's easier on the bank account but not on your sanity. Lately Ive started kicking around the idea of hiring guys that know way more than I do. I have some sub contractors I use that are carpenters and I can literally just drop material off at the job and I dont have to tell them a damn thing. But they are hella expensive. I think I can replicate what they do with an in house crew for a 3rd of the cost. That should be able to free me up to actually run the business. To be honest man, if I dont ever swing a hammer again, it wont be too soon. I woke up the other morning and my body sounded like a cement mixer. Shitty bosses are just shitty bosses. Pushing production from the rear with thinly veiled threats is how most construction operates. After you strip away the fact that people show up to a job for a paycheck, there are other things that motivate people to work harder for you. Some people like private encouragement, some people like when they get a pat on the back in front of everyone, some people like to hear their contribution is vital to the overall success of the project. Once you figure out what makes people tick you can lead from the front and motivate through positive reinforcement rather than through threats. So when its finally time to get out of the bucket you can tell your employees that you need to step back to keep the work flowing, hopefully youll have a crew full of can do mfers that will support you. Ps. Nah the whopper comes with ketchup only. I dont really like ketchup so I thought it was funny I never noticed. I started getting that bad boy with extra pickles and mustard.

NightmareOnElmStreet Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Ahite so I gotta step into some weirdo creep shit now.....My old lady is v pregnant. This is great and what not but we haven’t been able to have none of that good pregnant smash in months due to some asshole Netherlands complications about where the damn baby’s at. I don’t pay enough attention to that part. Said problem is months away from being solved. Wifey and I have had some pretty rad agreements and experiences over the years to preface this conversation so I don’t sound like a pos. She’s overly chill and open to openess and we done already been down that road. Anyways. She’s bummed about the sexins but mostly for me and she’s mentioned the possibility of hoe houses for me lol. I’m interested. My question to y’all is how do yous feel about hoes and they houses and since backpage was shut down by the faggot government where would one even start to look...? LOL. I feel like Boris knows these things. Niggas wouldn’t be caught DEAD ever pullin up on the hoe street or a the titty bar (they closed anyways). And I may never take the pass regardless. I’m just very curious and I wonder where all the loaded tech nerds that can’t find pussy go to buy it these days now that platforms like that are gone....
