It’s obviously just two mates messaging
One minute window of “nope don’t need a couch anymore, that need has been fulfilled.”
Someone else satisfied her free couch needs more immediately
I thought that I needed a couch, but then I remembered about the stool in the kitchen.
It’s for church honey NEXT
What was okay, & what kind of work uses a leather couch (outside of a psychologist, maybe - who I’d think would have no problem affording a ride)?
Need for it to work, not need it for work.
My work has a couch, it’s not leather but we have one. I’m a software engineer at a 6 person company. In fact I’ve had many jobs with couches, mainly in call centres.
Saw that when I was a kid in Europe, but virtually never here in the US.
From the outside looking in it’s like you (America) doesn’t want its staff to be comfortable. We have seats at our checkouts but didn’t see that in America either.
America is owned by control freaks who think accommodating people makes them “soft” and lazy, and therefore making less money for said owners than they theoretically could were they operating like the perfect robots the owners would prefer to have.
To be fair the UK has this vibe too. I still use PTSD from all the crappy jobs I’ve had that now as a software developer when my manager is nice or does the right thing it doesn’t feel right as I’ve internalised decades of abuse for minimum wage.
What is worse? This
Or me messaging a seller the same day they post an ad, and then every 3 weeks after without any reply only to then get a reply 4 months later that the thing has been sold (the ad still up and listing it as available).
