Girl from Walgreens: Phone number, please?
Sovcit: Hell no, I know my rights!
Jake from State Farm: What exactly are we insuring here?
Sovcit: You get your greasy corporate fingers out of my personal business!
Facebook: Literally all of your personal information, please?
Sovcit: Ok.
But I put the magic words in my profile that makes it ILLEGAL to use my personal data in any way! I know my rights and the law! I saw it in a YouTube video, and have an IQ of 150 (and have the certificate to PROVE IT!)
That’s a metric IQ. After converting it to Freedom units, your IQ is 65. Sorry, but I get to make the rules up.
I rarely say this because there really are so many insane people on Facebook, the the “THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID AT NUREMBERG!” and the “Alex Jones was right!” parts make me think this is someone trolling.
Oh no he’s batty as can be.
I’d forgotten that line from the cartoon. Nostalgia ruined by sovcit. Bleh.
The first part would have tipped me off if I didn’t have multiple customers compare me to Nazi concentration camp workers at my last job.
I was trying to help them get their assigned device to them, so they could do their job… Lots of them didn’t like that their ticketing system went digital.
100% satire.
I’m going to drop some 'shrooms and reread this because it might send me to some memorable Wonderlands.
Totally sounds normal. Wtf.
I mean… He’s not wrong. You shouldn’t need your phone number or email as a requirement to drop off a prepaid package with a mailer. The courier service has that info there’s no reason Walgreens should need it.
If you’re getting insurance, asking historical insurance questions should give them a better understanding of your history, like if you’re a brand new driver or not, etc. But it should not be required. Instead of “we have to know this” it should be “we need your history to determine policy risk and provide coverage. The less information we have the higher risk we have to assume and the more you pay. If you don’t want to tell me your history that’s fine, but you’re going to pay more”. In reality the insurance companies use giant databases to know exactly who and how you were insured. Payment histories, claims, everything. So it’s moot and still wrong.
The sov cit movement is ridiculous, but they’re not always 100% wrong in their stances.
Anecdotally I had a UPS Store try to pull the “you have to wait in line to drop off a package so we can get your details” crap for a prepaid drop-off. They can make you wait in line if they demand because they can ask you what’s inside to determine if it’s hazardous. That’s their loophole for preventing drop offs. But they cannot demand your information. I’m not super important but do a fair amount of business with UPS for a rando (thousands $'s week which is a rounding error to them) and after a complaint, got a followup, and magically now they accept packages without requiring information. But you still have to wait in line for them there. The purpose of the information was to get you on the store’s email list for promotions and presumably data sales.
God bless me, indeed. I can’t believe I read the whole thing.
