      And EE can just fuck right off with the way that their staff get treated by the higher ups…

      "In a while you'll get a text asking you to rate my service, 9 and 10 are good. Anything less than that is a passive"

      Which means that after so many non-perfect scores, they can be called into a meeting and well judging by the tone, probably "let go".

      So the text came through... There was no way to expand on why you'd enjoyed the service (until after the survey had been completed) straight 1-10 "how likely are you to recommend EE to friends and family?" Not, you'll notice "Thanks for your custom which we greatly appreciate, how well were your needs met today?" (I could write this shit for a living, probably 🙂 Does anyone want to hire a cynical, anti-social, pessimist for their Customer Service?? No :(.) No mention of the sales assistant until the all important 1-10 score has been clicked on. That comes after in a whole slew of "Did the sales assistant mention x number of things that nobody really wants but we try to sell anyway."

      So I just clicked yes to everything and left it at that.

          Indeed, maybe 25oz is too much.

                  Sales people are treated like animals. When my daughter worked at a supermarket a women instructed her to "Run!"the length of the store to fetch her a watermelon that she herself had passed coming into the store. My eyes widened when Kate told me this because my daughter hates rudeness like Hannibal Lecter hates rudeness. I understand  Rudi hasn't shopped there since. Too bad… Love ya, Kate!  😘

                      "Camping with the wife."

                      Good idea in theory/principal… Terrible idea, financially.

                      My idea of camping: us, tent, blanket, and a can of beans over a fire... and beer

                      Her idea of camping ("glamping"):

                      Not to mention that it's turned in to a fashion show featuring a 170GBP pair of Lowa's  that "aren't really comfortable, but they're cute!"  ???

                            It will be far closer to my image than hers now, because "Once my rucksack is full/too heavy, you'll have to carry more"…..

                            Example:
                            She wanted a 9lb 2 burner camp stove, but I told her it's too big, clunky and heavy.
                            We've settled on a Jetboil HalfGen.

                            Based on her extensive  ::) ::) ::) Girl Scout experience from 20+ years ago, she thought she would be cooking brekky, lunch and dinner each day… I said "If the cooler is full of perishable foods, where will the beer go?"..... She was immediately understanding on that point, lol

                                Funny this subject came up now- my wife spent a night in one of these tents last week.

                                Apparently, all the yurts and teepees were already booked…

                                    She got to Marfa about 9 am. Around 11 am, she texted me and said, "I think I've reached my hipster limit already."  She said it was worse than Portland, because the town is small, so it's more concentrated.

                                          Not that I'm addicted to FB, but I work in a comm closet that's literally an office inside of an office, inside of a conference room, inside of a building... No phones allowed. FB keeps me sane at work, as it's my link to the world outside of these 4 walls.
