Reply to comment by The_Safe_For_Work in LPT: If you call a company to speak to customer service but the automated menu won't let you talk to a real person, say "Upgrade my account" instead of "Refund" or "Cancel," when the automated menu asks you to state why you're calling. You will immediately be transferred to a real person by BigSpoonFullOfSnark

This is how it works. They need to send you to the retention team and not sales.

Horrible LPT.

You really want to speak with someone. Don’t say a word in the voice prompts. It will transfer you to a live person usually.

Reply to Toastmaster B700C. Bought by my great grand-parents. Inherited by my hunt in early 90's. Given to me in 2000 when I leaved home for college. Still running good but toasts are not dark anymore on the highest settings. Any adjustment possible? by Bacondunord

Those toasters have heating elements very much the same mechanism as an electric stove element. They are thin however. Over time they can and will get brittle and/or break and won’t heat properly. Push the lever down with nothing inside and look inside to see if you see one particular part of the element getting really bright and the rest not. Not necessarily a fix. You can buy toaster heating elements, but it would probably be cheaper just to hit up a goodwill etc and look for another old toaster.

Reply to comment by dielectricjuice in LPT: If you're making a sandwich for your kids and only have the heel of the bread left, put the heels inside. The kids probably won't notice by motoperpetuoso

Spoiled children don’t work that way. Stop treating kids like they are little Princes and Princesses. My kids aren’t perfect, but they’ll eat a bread heel if they are hungry. Brussels Sprouts are an entirely different thing….

Reply to Nirvana is the best band of all time by [deleted]

There is no best band of all time. You mean sales? Talent? Maybe one of the better marketed bands that hit at a time when Phil Collins and Whitney Houston were chart toppers and kids wanted something else.

Coldplay and Imagine Dragons would be considered music Gods if it were based on sales alone. It’s just pop drivel.
