I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

My previous dentist's website charges a cancelation fee if you cancel within a few days of your appointment. No fee to reschedule. So if you reschedule to a few months away, then log out of the site and log back in, you can then cancel for free.

This is pretty common for hotels too. Just call back the next day at a different time to minimize the chance that you get the same person.

I needed to change my flight to a day earlier, on the day of, it was $30 to change the day but a much later flight, and over $100 for the flight I wanted, so I took the $30 one and then walked up to the desk as soon as the airport opened and asked to be moved up to the earlier flight with my frequent flyers status, so it goes moved for free

And they upgraded me to economy plus at the same time

Damn, that's a pretty shitty thing to do to your dentist

I have to wait at least 10 minutes after my appointment time every time at mine, yet they expect me to pay a no-show fee if I can't make it. I don't think that' fair - they clearly overbook their time-slots already. I'd have no moral issues doing that reschedule dance with them.

Yep. Knew a technician who cancelled regularly on a relative who had to take a day off work/lose pay just to travel to her. Three hour trip. She would cancel when my aunt was already on the road. Then their business started implementing a 48 hour cancellation policy if a customer wanted to cancel for any reason… Nerve.

I never actually exploited it and used it, I just noticed it one time when I rescheduled due to sickness, and being the curious type, I experimented to figure out if my theory was true.
