00:03:19
◼
►
things from a person and ask them to

[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
but i'm going to dive into it anyway
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
wanted to combine two things in one
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
package and they sent me an email back
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
that said I set you a revised invoice
[TS]
00:03:42
◼
►
and so I looked in my email and there
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
was a something from this person that
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
said pay here and i click on the button
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
and I paid for one item plus the
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
associated shipping of that one item and
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
then I wrote him back and said well i
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
paid for the one item can you send me
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
the revised and they said well i did
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
send you it's in your email and I said
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
and I wasn't clear like
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
exactly what they were getting at but
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
then after two exchanges they said well
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
I'm done dealing with this and hadn't
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
helped me at all and i ended up having
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
to pay for both items and ten dollars
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
each shipping for two things that would
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
fit into a single envelope and so then
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
when it was time to give the the
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
feedback the stars if you will a boy I
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
wanted to give them zero stars for the
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
shipping because they had done nothing
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
they'd been not only had they not help
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
me but they've been like really rude but
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►

[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►

[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►

[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
has a secret menu to know any more about
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
well for example and change the topic
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
because it is actually on topic but for
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
example if as in my case with all due
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
respect to the united states postal
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
system you know my history but the post
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
office and yes my deliveries are just I
[TS]

[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
inner city that is my history with just
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
think just not appearing at the house
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
suppose there's a secret menu where he
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
know the NOC you can contact amazon and
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
ask them to at the very least I guess
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
changed the cascade of how deliveries
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
are made to always put the postal
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
service at the bottom but I've heard
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
noises cascade well you know how it
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
works like it used to be everything was
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
ups and it was awesome right in
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
yes you you have to know yeah i do not
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
know how it works like at all why I i
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
was wondering about this before is
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
everything to me you won't just bring it
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
comes from three different services what
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
happened it used to be ups and when
[TS]
00:21:12
◼
►
everything work I don't want it straight
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
but I'm the cascade is something that
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
I'm imagining and cascading i'm
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
referring here to a term they use in
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
doesn't matter but cascading is this
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
idea that there's this this default way
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
that things will happen unless for some
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
reason that one is not optimal or is not
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
available in which case it falls back to
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
the second choice etcetera etcetera are
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
imagine that amazon has optimized this
[TS]
00:21:35
◼
►
within an inch of its life to where I
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
think one I don't know the exact history
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
i think one thing that happened was yes
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►

[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
it was the glory days like it has worked
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
everything was fine but from my point of
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
view as a consumer I don't you know I
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
don't have a dog in this fight but you

of a deal with the failing US postal

day and I would have a flag those
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
thoughts as tweets and most of the time
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
I would just immediately pull over to
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
the side of the road and tweet if I had
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
a tweet if I thought a tweet

market as a tweet and then later on in

for the last several days I've had
[TS]
00:46:17

dumb analogy for thinking about
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
meditation and mindfulness and the guy
[TS]
00:46:38
◼

side of a busy highway without feeling
[TS]
00:46:42
◼
►
the need to get into any of the cars and
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
that reminds me a little bit of what
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
you're saying is like you're so used to
[TS]
00:46:49
◼

jumping into every car that goes by or
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
you know every 50th car that goes by
[TS]
00:46:53
◼

it's difficult to stop it's like that's
[TS]
00:46:54
◼

the way you use it if your interaction
[TS]
00:46:56
◼
►
model if I could you make up a term here
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
if the way you think about using that is
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
like here's where I jump in its it's
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
very difficult to stop
[TS]
00:47:02
◼
►
it's even difficult to watch if you know
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
you you're not going to participate it's
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►

[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
and haven't ever really felt the desire
