On the internet, anyone can say anything. I am the Pope.

How well does that work after losing vacuum assist?

I was trying to offer an argument for the alternative

But that's not what you did, at first anyway. You were looking for an argument. You asked someone to justify something that to you is a slight, with no way of knowing whether the other person intended it that way. They got defensive because they have no idea what you're getting at, from their perspective you're just saying "you said something wrong, this is right" without explaining why.

It's not charity to give money to an organization you (or friends or relatives) control, it's a way to keep your assets under your control without having to pay taxes that would otherwise be required.

I have memories of being 12-13 years old and my sister (3 years older) and I having to push-start our mom's Renault LeCar...

Having worked both retail and call center, no, they're not in the same league. People can be assholes over the phone, absolutely, but it's quite different from face-to-face. Someone threatens to kill me over the phone, I can say "I'd like to see you try" and hang up, and the worst that happens is I get fired. In person, they can carry out the threat.

It's nice when you have a boss that has your back. I worked at RadioShack back in the day, and the manager of the store I stayed at the longest was like that. Of course we didn't have the whole x items or less, but we were in a busy college area, only on-street parking, so we'd get people running in and wanting to be served immediately regardless of how busy we were because they were double parked. The boss empowered us to tell them to fuck off, politely of course. "Come back when you have more time, we'll be happy to help". Also, we were next to a parking lot, it wasn't ours, though we did have a couple of spots that were clearly marked employee parking only. Few things gave the boss more pleasure than calling a tow truck... Literally rubbing his hands with glee on multiple occasions.

I never worked food service, but I did my time in retail... That "Well we're here now" just gave me a PTSD-like flashback...
