Good help isn't hard to find at all.
Raise the wages and good help will line up out the door to work for you.

> generally when you point out something to Supremo they check and give you the lower price and add that to their huge list of updates to be done.
Doesn't matter, it's still against the law.
If they can't keep their prices listed, they can close down.

This is actually against the law in New Jersey. Perhaps a shout-out to the Attorney General might make some stuff happen.

Reply to Parking around JSQ path by sanjaykhu
The parking spots all around PATH stations are specifically designed to deter folks from parking there and commuting to NYC. It's the only way Jersey City residents can have parking. So if you're trying to do exactly that, expect to have every problem possible.
You need to take transit to the PATH --- or park in an official spot, like the garage at JSQ --- or the West Side park&ride lot for the HBLR.

Fuck doing it online, go to the office in the Heights. They are real assholes in there with superiority complexes, but they will get you a parking permit on the spot.

They are cheap, as long as you have a valid NJ driver license, the car has valid NJ license plates, and all the addresses on those match your home address, which is in Zone 4, and you live in a building that does not offer parking. If any of those things aren't true, you can't get one.

That's very useful, but the site is still absolute garbage. It is a shame, because it's a great idea. Just seems executed horribly.

This is one of the most useless sites I've ever visited. It's literally got no answers at all. The chances of me signing up for something that sounds this shady, are slim to none. Shame because it's a great idea.
They'd be better off making the site a redirect to cat videos.

Here you go again talking about people.
I'm not going to lunch with this person after work. When they're working, they are a representative of the company, and I am talking to THE COMPANY. I am not talking to them as an individual, this is a business discussion. The COMPANY either will or won't do something, but it has nothing to do with THE MEATBAG that's delivering the news to me.
You seem too thick-skulled to comprehend this.
You intuition is off again, in thinking I don't understand where the collusion comes from.

Your intuition is off this time.
The lies work because a lot of folks, probably including you, just believe them and immediately pay more money when they're spoken. Why wouldn't the company lie if they get more money?

You're dealing with the corporation. If they send a representative to talk to you, that can't do anything, that's their own problem.
That's like complaining to your boss that you can't fill out this form, because you decided to grab a chopstick instead of a pencil.
Doesn't matter if the leasing office can or can't, they are simply a paid mouthpiece of the corporation, who absolutely can.
These lies are designed to make you stop asking questions and just pay more. And these lies WORK WELL. Because people believe them.

If the representative of the company that you happen to be speaking to, doesn't have access to or control over something, that's not your problem, it's an internal detail of how the company runs itself.
People tend to view their interaction with "the person" in front of them. You're interacting with a corporation, and this person is their paid mouthpiece. And this corporation can do whatever it wants to.
"I can't because" and "because policy" are lies, designed to make you stop inquiring, and just pay more money right now. And, THEY WORK WELL. Because people forget what I just said above.

> and they have no control
This is a lie. Their company can choose to use any price they want. They CHOOSE to use this price. They have complete control. As usual, when a company says they "can't" do something because "it's policy", it's a lie. They can do whatever they want unless it's illegal.
u/Positive_Debate7048 You're not talking to a guy, you're talking to a company, and that dude is just their paid mouthpiece. The company can do whatever it wants. Including lie to you and tell you that they "can't" change the price. That is a lie. Unless it's illegal, they CAN change the price, but they simply don't want to.
If what you said was true, then a doctor's office couldn't function because when you call and talk to a receptionist, that person isn't a medical doctor and so they can't help with your medical problems.
A business is made up of lots of folks, and which representative it's CHOOSING to speak through is simply an internal detail that shouldn't matter to you. You are still speaking to the business.
Businesses lie about these things, because SUCKERS BELIEVE IT. And then they pay more money. And so OBVIOUSLY businesses will continue lying more and more and more, because lying MAKES MONEY.

This is like a little child telling you that building a road to CityB won't allow more people to get to CityB because the road only goes to CityA right now.
Of course, because the new road isn't fucking built yet. Completely not understanding what "build a new road" means.
Complete facepalm.

A new north/south PATH line would make it far easier to commute around in Hudson County. I'm talking about a line entirely inside New Jersey.
PATH is a lot faster and more reliable than HBLR, probably mostly because it doesn't cross roads.
