No. It’s called “republican”. Fact. 76% of food stamp/social welfare programs are white older conservatives. African Americans only make up 16% Source: bureau of labor statistics.
I traveled a lot on buddy passes. My wife's father was retired from Delta and he would let me use them while we were engaged (700 miles apart).My instructions were always dress appropriately, be polite, and don't take advantage of any perks if and when upgraded to first class. Best time to fly was first flight of the day on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Never had a single problem.
People like Veronica's "buddy" can't handle that level of honesty. Veronica would be in my inner circle. And we would have a BIG laugh at her expense about the sheer audacity.
@@seekeroftruth6728 You might wanna check your humor detection sensors for loose connections or other malfunctions. A good multimeter would be a great help, but a simple test LED will do just fine.
When I worked for Walt Disney corporate, people came out of the woodwork left and right. Distant family members I haven’t talked to in years…acquaintances I barely talk to…past friends I haven’t seen in years. As soon as you have something they want, the snakes come out.
Oh wow! I wonder if they have briefings about how to deal with that kind of thing. When I was young, my (then) stepfather was a security guard and had worked at Skating Plus and also Golf N Stuff right next to it. So I've been to both places for free, but never because I asked.
I had the same experience when I interned at Disney. Suddenly relatives that never called me before, classmates that wouldn’t give me the time of day started trying to cozy up to me.
My mother worked at an airlines for more than 25 years. People from school would ask me for buddy passes and discounts. I was shocked considering that we were not "buddies" and it was people I hadn't seen in years
I was a flight attendant. It's an ordeal to give someone a buddy pass, plus we have to worry about them being on stand by, so I completely relate to this.
Yeah you shouldn't give your pass to anyone it's a pain. My sister is a doctor people call her all the time to get advice and in 2020 when she almost died due to COVID most people didn't even show up or even contacted her or worst of all they still called for advice.
Miss Pink Dress almost choked on her response because she knows that she's really out for herself and that she's nobody's buddy until she needs something something.
Sometimes that smoke screen “we’re friends approach”, is really them playing coy and just giving what has them appear to be something their not. Pretty much blowing smoke in whomevers face that they want to use. Like you can’t see and sense the smoke.
I have 2 cousins that work for air lines and I have never asked for a discount or any pass to fly. I am great friends and close to one of them and still would never think of asking. I may ask for an emergency if I could not afford but have not and have no plans to. If I can’t afford to fly I need to rethink my travel plans.
@@tumbleweavesni6799 they have gifted their free or very low cost flight to family members for such things and funeral or wedding or other such occasions. I’m sure if we were ever in such a situation they would, however we are very blessed. I would never ask for my personal travel they only get so many buddies passes and use them as a benefit as they should they earned them. My brother manages a very nice restaurant, I don’t go there and eat for free however if he knows he will comp our meals I never ask. We go where he is not there.
In an emergency, hopefully, someone could help you just get there and you wouldn't be on standby if you're trying to get home after the death of a loved one or something. My Aunt Carrie covered my flight to California from Arkansas and back when my grandfather passed away, and she doesn't work on airlines. She paid full price for me!
My actual friends wouldn’t attempt to use our friendship as a way to score free stuff. But then, if I had the ability to help them out I probably would offer whether they asked or not. 🤷♂️
A high percentage of folk overall, are just like that (when concerning using “friendships” to gain. As they have copied and pasted intentions that they’ve seen elsewhere. Which is why so many people end up feeling used and scorned. As they think that everyone has subscribe to such superficial behaviors. Personally, I don’t think that a friendship needs to be formed, in order to give or receive. As extending one’s self is a desire that one chooses. Alot of people leave themselves open to be used by fair weather “friends” or they will exercise friend like tendencies, hoping that whoever they’re extending themselves to, will reciprocate in ways that they want them to. When you’re truly in the company of good peoples you don’t worry about things like this. Whatever people have or can do, they will *offer to share (minus the need to have an ulterior motive that drives them to “be nice”) for the moment/whatever moments
I’m not being mean but Veronica is right. Creating boundaries for people that smile but love to see you in a bind. It’s then they can’t help. Y’all peep those people who suddenly help only when someone is looking.
and or help with snide intent. Truth be told if you (as in anyone) takes an interest in knowing the quality of people and individuals that you’re around, engaging and dealing with. There’s really no need to invest time creating boundaries. If and when you have no interest or come to no longer have an interest in treating a poor minded person with decency or respect…….they’ll know. It is a norm for certain folk to try those that they believe to be slow, not hip, cool or whatever they believe about you, in a certain manner. This is so based on what they think, have perceived and or came up with as a synopsis when concerning how they’ve pegged said person. As they’re sizing said person up in order to treat them in ways that they’d rather. All of the above doesn’t matter, as an idiot will always revert to doing idiotic things. If and when you have no interest in them/no longer have an interest to engage, much less respect them, these types will recognize that. #period. I think this creator did a video about being in one’s 50 and behaviors that come with it (one of which was telling folk like it is, being that you’re now old)………lolololololol Meanwhile, something as such can be one’s nature. Song and dancing with folk that are immature in their intentions and approach, isn’t something that one reverts to. While alive, you either know what you want for you and your quality of Life, or you don’t.
This exchange was so awesome. I used to work in a paint store and suddenly I had so many "friends" looking for my discount. So to avoid an unpleasant scene I gave in to it many times that I definitely shouldn't have. One time was a relative of my wife, they were warned (by me) the color was actually a bit different than the paint sample chart but they bought it anyway (using my employee discount). Then I had to hear at every family gathering their unhappiness with the color.....because.....wait for it....it wasn't the same as the paint chart.
V is a BEAST! I swear she says what we all think but rarely say. Some do but it's more rude than thought provoking, her delivery is so calm and to the point. She's my alter ego from now on.
I've never even heard of buddy passes but now that I have, I wouldn't dream of asking someone for one, even a dear friend. If they want me to have one, they'll offer.
I use to get hit up every year for these golf tickets we would buy, usually from people that we rarely heard from. We stopped buying them when they got too expensive, and shockingly never heard from those people again.
I think usually you'd get an explosion at the end, because it's usually a narcissist 'asking' for this and to say anything negative about them (including the reality that they don't do any buddy stuff) means getting a verbal assault rather than an embarrassed laugh.
Yeah I have a friend who is a flight attendant, she loves me. I never want to travel and I hate large groups of people in general so she's happy I never bother her for those things. It's really quite difficult to get ahold of those types of passes apparently.
Seriously, never ask somebody for something like that! If that person hooks you up, then great! But a real friend won't put someone in a position like that to begin with.
The correct way is to ask if they know any deals or say where you wana go and learn when a good time to go there is. No one is gon a judge you for wanting a bit of the inside scoop, being scummy with their perks is well being scummy.
Married to a mechanic that has been with the airlines since he was 22. It was annoying when people would ask me if they could get discount tickets or a buddy pass. I'm like uuuhh no you ask yourself that is just rude. However is immediate family and mother flew for free
I would ordinarily find Veronica unnecessarily blunt but in this case necessary to fend off that kind of forwardness. I just saw a video of a lottery winner saying the happiness of winning is spoiled by anyone you ever met asking for money.
In other words Veronica has hidden expectations, and is the type of Mexican that you have to do for her and measure that by how much or what you've done and then put a higher price on what she is to do for you, you know the score keeper the one who says what you did to help wasent enough.
I used to own a business….. lots of people wanted free shit. A business owner has few friends anymore as you find out everyone you know is a leech and doesn’t care what you paid to get the product they think they should get it free because they know you……
"Were we buddies when I arbitrarily posted my woes to 700 people a day you didn't jump out to save me?" Wtf. No one cares what you post. If you need help, message someone. Don't just throw it into the void and expect a chariot to show up.
