Judge only “granted a temporary injunction” not made a final ruling.
Also it’s pointless.
The temporary injunction is intended to last until the lawsuit is decided. But under Texas law, a ruling is automatically stayed as soon as it is appealed.
Good question, but no. The temperature at jet cruising altitude is -20 degrees, generally the planes get affected by cold (feel the windows) and they actually pump in warm air from the engines. Why it got too hot on board is a mystery, did you feel too hot? Maybe a thermostat malfunctioned?
After a delay screwed up our connection and caused us to miss part of our own wedding celebration with family 13 years ago, my wife and I have since always refered to United with the tag line, "United, Go f--- yourself".
I know a lot of airlines are just as bad, but we will forever hold United in the lowest of low esteem. They have absolutely created a company culture of the worst customer service in any situation. They don't even pretend to care.
I flew United recently. I nearly missed one connecting flight due to their incompetence, and then on the way back I actually did miss that connecting flight, again because of their management. That entire flight was a fucking nightmare. Not least because numbered United customer service people just did not give one shit.
Plus, on one of the flights the flight crew spent the entire flight bitching about and mocking customers who were on their flight. They did this in both the area at the end of the plane and in the main cabin (just presumably not within earshot of them). The level of unprofessionalism and just plain arrogance was stunning. That entire flight crew didn’t give one shit. They were surly and dismissive and complacent.
Like you, I will never be flying with them again. Though it sounds like what I went through was nothing compared to what these poor bastards in the linked article endured.
Exactly, I manage customer service a good bit in my job, and I totally get that some customers are impossible to please, but you have to evaluate when it's actually your fault and in those cases do everything you can to make it better.
I'm not sure what their rules are, but if was me, I'd be making it rain food and hotel vouchers at the very least. And acting like you have an ounce of empathy if nothing else, you don't know what someone is missing because of these delays.
Eh, as long as you make it clear they’ll get in trouble if they use them in school, it’s fine. My daughter is 13. Stopping her swearing at this point is a lost cause. So I say ‘fuck’ in front of her. “Fuck you, asshole” is often heard in my car in this town full of terrible drivers and being able to say it when she’s in the car too is quite nice.
Lufthansa is on my list… Left me stranded in an eastern European country with no way to resolve it except telling me to go into town to the office, or call them on the phone… As if I had a sim card that worked in the country and could be on hold for an hour. Had to book a hotel on my own dime and complaints were completely ignored.
When I was a kid my parents had The Best of Bill Cosby on record. I wore that vinyl out playing it over and over. I memorized the bits. I bought all the cassettes I could find. I have vague memories of Fat Albert on Saturday morning. And some movie where he played the devil. And The Cosby Show. I wanted to be Bill Cosby when I grew up.
Has any other beloved celebrity fallen as far as Cosby? I mean he was universally considered to be a genuinely nice guy. He was America’s Dad.
Oh yeah, I feel the same way. I grew up on the Himself special. I can recite a lot of the “chocolate cake for breakfast” part from memory I saw it so many times. And I will never, ever watch it again. I hate it because we’ve basically had to abandon a great talent, but it’s necessary. The same with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. Put all of their work in a vault, seal it up and let future generations decide how they are to be remembered.
I hope SO MUCH that Trump’s trial has an equivalent to Alex Jones’ “your lawyer sent me a copy of your entire cell phone” moment, where we get to see him shit his pants in real time.
Disagree. This “man” seeks to rule over us he doesn’t get common decency of any kind.
That goes for every single politician, CEO, manager, boss, cop, etc. You want the job then get fucking roasted. Your job as this so called authority figure is to take it on the chin and be better than us to a point we don’t feel the need to roast you over petty shit.
The problem with this world is we don’t bully authority enough.
This hotel has been there for a while for visiting employees, paid for by the company. People wanted this option if, for example, you lived in Brazil, wanted to visit the US, but didn’t have any reason to book a business trip because you don’t work with anyone at headquarters. I’m going to guess that most paying guests won’t be reporting for work during their stays, but will be grabbing a solid 3 meals a day, plus snacks.
Jokes on them if they think I would be “to proud” to just sleep in a conference room, at my desk, etc if the only other option is actually paying them for the privilege of staying there.
I wonder what the rules are, like what would happen if you rent a room and just had a booze fueled rager several nights a week, leaving the room trashed.
Or sublet it out to a third party for more than $100/night as a side hustle.
