Not many. The places that aren’t also gas stations are slowly dwindling. There used to be one over here near dormont, but that closed a few years ago.

How would that even work lol. Like who would be listening? I know the manager would be too busy, and so would the entire FOH/BOH.

They must have someone in a booth monitoring the lightbulbs and relaying it via earpiece, it's the only practical explanation.

Reply to comment by McJumpington in GoFund Me for Alex Yerkey, the man killed in yesterday's tragic shooting. by Evening_Ad_2906

The original goal was 20. Go fund me allows you to up the goal when the OG was reached. It reached so fast and so many were willing to give, my guess is they just upped it. Money can give his life back but it can help with anything they need to overcome the grief. I lost my father and when we got the insurance money it was just things like knowing "instead of $20 of gas I'll fill the tank" can put your mind in a better place.

Oh boy…yes. Before anyone knew my neighbor had Lewy Body dementia…she kept knocking on my door at all hours to warn me that one of our neighbors was listening to her through her toilet. It sounds funny, but it was incredibly sad and terrifying…there was a point that I thought she would try to hurt the person she thought was spying on her.

I will never get over how upset people get about any entity secretly listening/spying when 90% of us have iPhones or Samsung, TVs, computers, tablets, use Google/Gmail...and even if you don't....you can guarantee someone sitting next to you has one. I suppose a question would be: why be concerned that Texas roadhouse is potentially recording you, when someone with a phone near you definitively is?

I don’t think so. Seems to be applicable to everyone. We just got the email this afternoon & it goes into effect April 10th. If your family member isn’t affected, can you ask him if his department is hiring? Lol!

It kills me that this person is so close to the truth. Yes, devices are constantly recording and using your data, but it's so far abstracted away from an individual as to be intangible. Nobody is sitting in a cube farm with headphones scoping out your conversation and taking notes to blackmail you with. Nobody is really important

I work in cybersecurity and I got a recruiting message from a BNYM recruiter on LinkedIn. I responded by sending her the link on BNYM layoffs with a quote of the "early-in-career-talent" thing.

TBNT, bitch

This is true, they have a dashboard where employees are assigned a green, yellow or red status based on their monthly badge swipes to monitor who is returning to the office and who isn’t.
