    Coke Cola are shit to work for.

    When I first came to the US I applied to the local coke cola factory for a supervisor job...at the interview the guy asks me "Do you know what job you are here for?" I said "yes the supervisor job"...he said "no that's gone, you're here for the partner liaison officer job" (or some made up shit like that).

    I asked what that job was...he said, you drive around in your own vehicle to all the local stores we supply and make sure they are well stocked, if not you take them (again in your own vehicle) fresh crates of coke products and also build displays for them in the store.

    "What's the hours and pay I asked"

    "Well It has no set hours, you work until you have visited all the stores on your list, that could be 8hr or 12hrs..however long it takes you. and the pay is pretty low at first but in a couple of years you could be making $76 a day"...

    "wow, $76 a day huh"

    Fucking lol

    Yeah I've talked to coke guys and they make more than that. You are bullshitting. That's barely minimum wage. I made more than that calling them for repairs.

    $76 a day was pretty good money back in 1937.

    I was going to buy a pixle 3. then google is pushing 4 ads in my face.

    but it's fucking google. buy a phone from the devil because it's half the price of a samsung with decent similar specs.

    A smartphone today can be the lowest spec yet still better then the most expensive Note or Apple C in the day. and full 5.3 plus size screen.

    but what I like in a smart phone is a camera. the rest of the phone is just another fucking phone. the Camera (and external speakers) is what makes the phone. regardless of brand or price. and of course data storage capacity and how quickly it transfers

    Also refurbs can be better than buying fresh out of the factory. because they already QC and replaced parts that were lemons.

    I was watching some old Alfred Hitchcock the other day from like the 40's or 50's and there was this guy who paid rent for 300 and that was apparently cheap. Unreal.

    Mine was like 2.70 as a dishwasher at a nice restaurant. I lied on my application and the child permission slip (child labor law thingy) because I just turned 14 and said i was 16.. then they made me a bread boy. I got to share tips.. so I more than doubled my income which 5-6 bucks an hour in 1980 was decent.

    maybe it was 3.70 an hour back then
