Uno?

Bingo.

THANK YOU!

In the early twentieth century the new airlines perpetuated this myth and charged a small fortune to fly these supposed great distances, and they continue to do so.
So, yeah. Follow the money and you will find who wins in any conspiracy.
Real eyes realize real lies.

The airlines win because they can charge you for flying farther than the trip really is. Think NYC taxi drivers.
Until several centuries ago everyone knew the earth was flat. Then the "new world" was discovered with it's wide open spaces and lots of natural resources just waiting to be plundered. This is when we first hear about this round earth myth. The rich robber barons tried to convince everyone that the earth was much larger than it really is so that most people would believe it was too great a trip to find this wonderful new land and they would be able to keep it for themselves. This is why Columbus hit the new world in half the time the crew expected. Of course you can't keep anything a secret forever, but the round earth meme had taken root and everyone just kept accepting it as "common knowledge". Ocean liners found they could simply travel at half speed and charge passengers more because everyone believed the earth was round and every place is farther away anyway.

@shikharizard yes I got that. If I wasn't clear I was only referring to the guest OP, not any commenter.
@joshary yes some people's "bar is too low" for complaining. As I said there are definitely plenty of assholes out there that bitch about stupid stuff and/or just like to start trouble, but the underlying attitude in this post gets under my skin. If your job is "customer service" of any sort, do you really think that it's okay to be an asshole just because a customer is one? Trust me, even with the best attitude it is difficult not to become cynical after dealing with the general public for even a small amount of time, but THAT'S WHAT THE JOB IS. We have to accept the bad with the good in all aspects of life. I'll offer that I may be a bit over sensitive on this topic but I'm fighting some relatively minor employee attitude issues at my store recently and it hits too close to home.

Yes there are terrible customers, but that's your job if you work in retail/customer service. If you accept such a job you have no right at all to bitch, and even less right to be a bitch. As a manager, if I ever had an employee with even the slightest hint of the poor attitude shown in OP's post I would (and have) fire them on the spot. I have to assume OP has the same shit attitude as well, since he/she posted it. We all should remember "The Golden Rule". Treat others like you would want to be treated. Or, like you would want your mother, siblings, or children treated. Especially if it's your damn job.

I have spent the last 20+ years in various restaurant/retail/customer service positions and most of that time has been in management. I am very sensitive to service and especially bad service, and trust me, I can definitely tell the difference between someone with poor training, someone just having an off day, and someone with a shit attitude that needs to not be around other people. Believe it or not I'm even intelligent enough to be able to differentiate between a server doing their best and the kitchen screwing up, and what may be the server's fault. I've had horrible meals and great service, for which I spoke to the managers about the kitchen and praised my servers (and yes I tipped well), and I've had great food and horrible service, for which I spoke to the managers about the server and praised the kitchen. Once I even left an absolutely terrible waitress no tip and gave the entire kitchen staff $50 each.

I don't complain about service unless it's warranted.

"someone" rolls his eyes.

Ah proof of my thesis. You really are a programmed libtard. Your side really should learn that made up lies do not work against someone with the balls to stand up against you. I tip my MAGA hat to your efforts but...

The last word.

There's no arguing with idiocy. Probably not your fault; you have likely been thoroughly indoctrinated in school. Kids today have had common sense and reason bred out of them and it has been replaced by blind loyalty and acceptance of whatever leftist propaganda you are fed. Occasionally I do get bored enough to try. Not because I think I can break through the walls of ignorance, but just for my own amusement. I am not that bored at the moment.

Well I'd already started typing when I changed my mind and it was less work to finish than erase it.

"Traditional ideas of masculinity" are not "toxic". You know what? You're not even worth a reply. Never mind.

I don't shave and I'm as toxic as a puffer fish.
