@phoenixashes76 @theRICHARDexp The real goal should of course never be to get the manager who implemented that policy in a small confined space with you while you are now unknowably 🤢.

What's the best app to find and support restaurants that don't make you breath other people's air? In other words walk up window or outside service, oh and don't require a car like drive throughs? We dislike (indoor) masking as much as the next family but won't be stopping any time soon just to eat. Sure there are food truck apps but the top 5 I tried had zero data in #eugeneoregon. #COVIDisAirborne #walkablecities #bikeablecities

@jeffcliff I might have to. Got laid off. What else am I going to do? Who wants to fund an app for the .1 per cent?

Has anyone experienced the level of elder abuse I'm seeing with #tmobile? If it's happening to my 80+ yo father, he can't be alone. I ordered the home wifi hotspot 5/2021. It sucked, returned it (per UPS tracking number to TMobile, Ft Worth, TX). Yet, dad's been paying $60/mo for 2+ years! 3 wks ago I called, they said full refund would post in 7-10 days. It'd even come with a personal call from the rep! Never even canceled. Charged again. 2 hrs in #t-mobile hoping I'll hang up. #classaction?

TMobile supervisor: Since I "never canceled two years ago" (which I did, how do you think I got the RMA and return tracking label? yes, I save all my emails), the charges for the last two years are "valid charges". Me: Tell me again when you received the "gateway"?TMobile: May 2021Me: Ah. Uh. Right. Why did you ask me 10 times if I returned it?#tmobile #elderabuse

Me: Does that feel right? To charge an elderly person for a service related to a device you know was returned?TMobile: You never canceled the service. Therefore the charges are valid. [over and over] Me (after 2 hrs): No, what never happened is you never canceled the service three weeks ago when YOU said you would for the second time. [expletives].#tmobile #elderabuse

Supvsr: I am giving my personal guarantee, employee ID: 5987888. The money will be refunded once a full investigation is complete.Me: Okay, I heard that same thing 3 weeks ago. You know, back when the full refund was already signed off (via memo or something by some other supervisor).Supervisor: you will hear back from me on 10 or 11 September.Me: I want my dad's $1560.00 back.

Overnight gift from #tmobile (after two hours on the phone confirming they rcvd device two years ago):"A return shipping label was sent to ****@***.com for your NOK 5G21 GATEWAY GRY KIT return. You have 45 days to return the device in good condition to avoid being charged for the device. We'll let you know once your return is processed and keep you updated along the way. For questions, go to t-mo.co/ISP10"#tmobilehomeinternet banking on an 80+ YO paying $300 for a device they already have.

Hi #tmobile,It's 48 hours after the 48 hours you said you'd need to "backtrack" my case. Haven't heard from you. Safe to assume you're blowing me off like the last three times so you can (continue to) rip off my 80yo dad for $1560.00? and probably charge him another $300 since your "system" still doesn't know I returned the internet gateway two years ago?

#tmobile (cold call 7 days later): May I speak to Kevin?Me: No one here by that name.Tmobile: Okay byeMe: Wait wait wait. You were supposed to call me back 5 days ago....#tmobile: We escalated your request for a refund of $1560 charged to your [elerly father's] account after you returned the #tmobilehomeinternet gateway. It has been denied by higher management.

@arstechnica Can you help? #TMobile 's blatant (and self-serving) ineptitude resulted in my elderly father getting charged $1500 for service on a device they know was returned two years ago. They even had the gall to post date my (second) cancellation request so he still got charged another $60 while they were supposedly "investigating". They're ripping off old people who can't put up with hours on the phone and lawyers to sue their asses.

"scientists felt the health agencies were stonewalling because the consequences of indoor aerosol transmission — high-quality masks, air filtration, building closures — would require a herculean response.William Bahnfleth, an architectural engineering expert at Penn State University, said he was shocked by “the paralysis of the public health community, the demand for more and more conclusive data.”
