Lol love these types of business decrees that literally anybody not conditioned from birth not to question authority wouldn’t believe for a second.
This is up there with the signs on dumptrucks that say they aren’t liable if so thing flies out of their truck and hits you. You’d literally get laughed out of court if you tried to argue it meant anything but fuck it might ad well try.
I hope somebody shows up to Walmart with a shirt that says “I’ve instituted a no arrest policy on my self, I believe that any claims of “shoplifting” or “larceny” can be worked out with a reasonable conversation, just lemme run to my car reaalllll quick.”
That would be an intesting legal experiment. Carry on you an open TOS. Their cameras and employees saw it, therefore it means the company and it’s employees and affilates and “all associated buisnesses in perpetuity” waive their legal rights. By allowing you to enter they have agreed to these terms. Oh and they agree to solve anything in 3rd party arbitration, and by 3rd party arbitraition you mean your cousin Vinny.
Yea it really is wild that knowingly lying to somebody about their rights to actively try to fuck people over by violating those rights isn’t some kind of criminal offense.
Sick fucking society we live in.
Trying to make resigning your job like cancelling a gym membership or cable subscription and then at the same time complaining that you can’t find anyone who wants to work for you
cancelling a gym membership
It’s so absurd how cancelling a gym membership has becoming a universal trope for a binding contract.
I’m going through this now and I want to burger the entire gym
the existence of people complaining about them is what has made me very severe in avoiding giving any organization I do business with auto draft privileges.
but recently, I had an in issue where some org I really believed in and had authorized for auto draft could not seem to acknowledge I was leaving the specific employer + entire region and need to cancel my membership. I spent months emailing and calling, total radio silence, no one I got ahold of could help me.
that’s when I found out that I could send a piece of paper with some basic info and two sentences to the business office of my credit union, permanently revoking my authorization for that specific organization to draft on my account. worked like a fucking charm.
I am pretty sure the entire gym membership model is organized around how weird and obscure the ACH authorization process is.
Yeah I only ever had one gym membership, which I “cancelled” by ditching the bank account the debit card I gave them was tied to. So they called me up and said, hey, your card was declined, so you need to give us another card number. And I said, oh really? Because I think I’m going to cancel my membership right now. And she said, no, you can’t do that, you have to go through our process for that. And I said, oh yeah? And what leverage do you have to make me do that, exactly? And then I hung up on her.
If you have insurance in the US, look into Active and Fit Direct.
It lets you into a network of local gyms on a subscription model with a flat rate. It’s billed by your insurance, so when you want to cancel, you just ask your insurance. You never have to interface with the gym at all for billing matters.
I never personally used it since I moved away, but did look into it and heard good things.
‘No Quit Program’
this is how you get no-call/no-shows
The best we can offer is free pretzels in the break room, THREE per employee.
