      When I quit at McDonalds to start a career in welding, the owner of the store happened to be visiting. He took me aside and told me “You know, those guys at… (Sorry, what was that place called again? Right…) You know, I’ve heard the people there aren’t as nice as we are here. Are you sure you want to leave?”

      I’ve never wanted to punch an old man so much in my life. In that moment, he was the personification of class warfare to me, trying to “trick” me into throwing away my future just so he could have more cheap labour. And the fact it was so blatantly obvious added insult to, well… insult.

      Anyway, it’s not the same, but the “wallpapers” thing definitely gives me the same vibes, lol.

        It really is the same thing though. It’s out of touch, insulting, and downright disrespectful to use something that is not unique to the provider, or valuable at all, as a reason to stay with said provider.

        When I quit my supermarket job after getting my accounting degree my manager tried to convince me to stay, saying they had plans to promote me into management and eventually I could work my way into a head office position.

        Umm, no thanks, I think I’ll take the job that I’ve been working towards getting for years.

      The xiaomi wallpaper carousel is the worst piece of soft on my phone, I don’t care and no you can’t have all those accesses.

      Had to install some freeware to just set the backgrounds wtf is this, the way they are getting people now??
