Enterprise: book online!

Me: books online

Enterprise (via email): Sorry, we don't have any vehicles in any class available until a week from now.

I feel horrible for the 50% of employees at Rogers who are going to be laid off for no fault of their own.

Part of me is also worried that Rogers is going to just use the reduced salary budget line to indulge their event centre named sponsorship kink:

Rogers Arena: Vancouver
Rogers Centre (formerly the Skydome): Toronto
Rogers Stadium: also Toronto

My brother didn't realize that the Stadium and Centre were different things when planning to attend a concert.

@joshsusser Guilty. Probably because I don't pronounce biology as bye-oh-low-gee. Maybe one of those "read more than watched TV / listened to media" things

My response to a service provider's post-chat session survey:

It's very annoying that you have chosen to use a "dark pattern" (forcing them to interact with an agent either on the phone or through chat) to try to prevent people from cancelling your service. Respect your customers, and let them cancel the service themselves rather than forcing them to jump through hoops--it will increase the chance that they return to you later, rather than leaving a bitter taste in their mouths.

@ink @swib Giving a lightning talk at SWIB would be an excellent way of finding other people (if any) who have been doing this. And I would love to hear your thoughts!

@JMarkOckerbloom@mastodon.social @peterpur@hci.social at this point I shouldn't be surprised and angry every time an example like this turns up but OMG I am so sick of publishers claiming they have to charge massive APCs to support all of their value-add editing and QA work... when clearly nobody there is bothering to pay even the slightest bit of attention before hitting "Publi$h."
