Ya, she was awesome and amazing, the sub manager was not . The Jamaican accent probably doesn’t work to her advantage . Because white people can be racist. I thought it was alright the one way?

Sorry but my humour doesn’t come across well. Or my lack of humour. It’s a total slam on white people. Which is bad for sure. But I’m mostly white so I’m good.

That’s illegal and should gather a ticket.

We need a receipt for you paying the tax bill. How about you fata off and mind your own business twat?
Dude. I am your biggest fan but this did not come across at all like you think it does. Maybe a retraction and apology is a good start.

I think you are right but there is a bit of digging to get there.

Yeah wasn't unclear to me, either. He's bemoaning the fact that the competent person (black) was unable to help him because the white manager/superior was doing a crappy job and getting in the way of the POC who had it under control.

I fully apologize, fully. This lady wept when she found out my dad died twenty minutes in. I made a remark that her as the teller knew way more than office lady. It’s absolute reverse racism on my part, just assuming the more competent one had higher power. It’s weird how white peopme take things.

Trail mix should be at least 30% smarties, ideally 50%.

Those Costco nut bags need more raisins. I hate raisins. There is too much chocolate in those I should be shot for uttering this.

Can confirm with fotze that TD is incompetent. They tried to tell my Mom that they couldn’t transfer the shares that were under my late father’s name to her and that they’d need to sell them. Yeah, and incur a ridiculous tax bill afterward. Idiots.

Um. Well the terminology is a bit wrong, but if they were your dad's shares they'd have to be 'deemed sold' upon his death.

Thats actually very standard.
