Random Thoughts.....

That’s a hard unsubscribe for me. I wouldn’t go all scorched earth and leave a bunch of scathing reviews, but if a company isn’t providing the services I paid for, I don’t pay for more services.
unfortunately it par for the course.
Cool story.
Decent coffee.
Horrible customer service at every turn.

I went through a very similar cadence before cancelling. Got a free hat sent though - never got all the coffee I paid for.

Seems bad reviews are the only thing that works now days. Companies have no real customer service now just clean up crews when you drag them online.

I've never been let down by twitter.

I never use it, unless I get shitty service. Then within minutes of a bad tweet, I'm contacted by whatever company and given amazing reconciliation

My daughters car was the biggest one. Her car had 60,060 miles on it when the trans issues on the way back to UNCW.
I had it towed to the stealership. They told me it was 60 miles out of warranty and to pound sand. I headed to twitter and called out the dealership as well as the mfg. It was less than 10 minutes and the mfg had messaged me with a case number and a reps number.
2 weeks later we had a new trans. That car now has 180k with 120k on that trans and it dint cost me a dime
 
Tacticool gets the low brow's money!

same with the Punisher stickers, 50cal bullet antennas, fuel wheels, terra grapplers, molle panels, widdle wadders, angry grills, 'come and take it' swag, and yes, black rifle coffee
While I agree with your premise, BRCC is a bit of an outlier. Foudned by a tier 1 operator in response to Starbucks publicly stating they were going to hire 10,000 illegal immigrants. Evan started his own company and pledge to hire 10,000 vets.

Of course he has since sold to PE and they are just a taxtixool shit hole like so many others now.

I hired Evan when I worked at NP to speak to our team. Impressive dude. Impressive company originally. Now it’s just a brand

My patience is being held in place by the shear fact that they are veteran owned and operated. And the coffee is damn good.

Didn’t realize it’s been sold off. Who is PE?
 
I guess I got my subscription started when Evan still run it. Ive had a subscription for at least 4 or 5 years and never had any issues. I get the silencer smooth coffee.
 
I get to have an adventure of sorts with a interaction tomorrow. Kinda excited. Kinda wondering how it is going to pan out.
Will be the first time I have interviewed someone who is deaf. Really looking forward to the challenge for me to personally figure out a good means of communication. I have personal interest in deep self examination on how I could make this a great experience and if qualified an opportunity for both parties. We are not a production oriented facility, use little real world blueprints or schematics. A major portion of our work is one off and a lot of creativity. We do a lot of discussion, verbal communication and plain pen and paper problem solving and note taking. Lots of hollering measurements across machine noise and cussing, 😂.

Might as well speak Japanese if it comes to sign language. Might be cool to learn!

You might be surprised, a lot of deaf people are so good at reading lips that you wouldn't know. Of course there's communication back, which just depends on their level of speech clarity.

And after a career of working around loud stuff you might as well learn sign language now for when you need it later in life...

Wish you would have brought this up sooner. You could have come to my house and spent some time with my kids to see what it’s like. Bedtime and time to leave for school are the best opportunities, they can’t hear a damn thing.
 
It went public in 2022, BRCC on the NYSE.

I’m just Forest Gumping my way through life (without the same luck) but isn’t that… not Private.
Not surprising. That's one of the primary PE playbook plays.
It would have been ...maybe ...2018 when I had the above interaction. I remember at the time they were excited about a huge faility opening in TN..cant remember if it was a shipping warehouse or a processing facility.

I've raised two and still married. I believe I hear what you are saying!
 
Random Friday morning musing...and a little reflection on my week.

Perspective is an interesting thing. Anyone who has talked to me much has probably heard a line I'm sort of known for amongst friends and colleagues, which is 'People argue glass half full or glass half empty. I'm just gratful to have a glass at all. As long as I have a glass I have the opportunity to get a drink if I fill it.'

So this week really hammered home the perspective thing. We sold our farm in December of 2023. There has been this weird dispute that's taken way longer than it should have to get some money we were due from the farm lender who held the note when we sold (This is a multi paragraph winding road of frustration and corporate incompetence in itself, but let's leave it there for now) So Monday afternoon a check arrived in the mailbox for just shy of $4,000. Finally the matter is closed and we were paid what we were due - no interest on the 2 year free loan - but I'm just glad to be done with it.

Tuesday morning one of my fleet vehicles has a mechanical issue while working out of town and led to a few days of orchestrated aggravation getting it towed in a town where I didnt know a shop or a tow company, getting another ride for my "stranded" employee etc etc etc.

Last night we finally got the diagnosis on the truck and the bill. About $3-400 north of Mondays' win fall. Email came in from the shop to our work AP address (which goes to the wife and I as well as an office assistant) while I was on the drive home. Walked in the door and my wife says 'Man its like the universe knows we have a few extra dollars and has to come snatch it away.' It stopped me in my tracks this thought of perspective. My first thought when I read the email, was man God smiled on us and gave us that check Monday because he knew we might need it for this truck aint life funny.

Sitting at the desk this morning, for whatever reason that juxtaposition of thought is just stuck in my head.

Alright, how's that for a random thought?

I try and help people when I can. I try and do it like God said. Don’t let your right hand know what your left is doing. I didn’t tell a soul about what I did until something similar to your situation happened. My wife’s boss was in a bad spot. Taking care of both parents, one with Alzheimer’s, the other with failing health. Divorced and at the time had a broken down car with a hefty payment for her sole income. My wife called the shop and paid the repair bill without her boss knowing. She still doesn’t know who paid it unless she reads this post. About a week later I get an insurance refund check in the mail for almost the exact amount. I’m talking pennies in difference. He works in mysterious ways no doubt.

Its amazing how God works. Our church is doing a mission trip and munchkin wants to go. We really don't have the cash to go, decided to just commit and trust. Needed about $1k to cover the bare bones. Wouldn't ya know, munchkins procedure he had to have came out to be $1,100 less than we budgeted.
