I have it. It makes eating at Chipotle impossible.

The US public largely uses SMS still.

Lol, it's from a comedy, it was never meant to be serious.

Half your age + 7 is literally from a comedy movie. It's not a hard and fast rule.

Definitely not standardized. Some brands aren't even consistent between different items they make.

I've had my Shark Navigator Pro for over a decade, the thing is a tank. If it died tomorrow I would instantly buy another one.

I'm usually trying to find out if the person will try to BS me, or if they will admit when they don't know.

It's possible, but by the time you get to the supervisor, it's time to cut the shit.

Sam's Club. We cancelled our membership and they still charged us. I called the main customer service number and told them to reverse the charge, or I would reverse it for them. They got all pissy and claimed they could only speak to my wife, who wasn't available, despite the fact that my card was the one charged. Then they started getting insulting, and claimed my bank wouldn't reverse the charge. I ask to speak to someone higher up, and politely explain the situation again, complete with my cancellation email, and the supervisor is even ruder than the first person. I then called the local store, and thankfully the person there wasn't an asshole. They pulled up the account, saw it was cancelled on the date I said, and quickly refunded the charge. I have no idea why Sam's Club customer service is the way they are, but they can eat a bag of dicks.

I didn't care for Andor, didn't get past episode 1.

Almost everything since Disney took over, except bits of Mandolorian.

Have you ever been to the US? It sounds like you watched some weird news coverage of it without ever visiting.
