What does new washer have to do with Trump?[DUmmy saves an illegal for 50 bucks]

[FunkyZero]

Their imaginations never fail to amaze me.  Unable to break free from the handcuffs of their misguided emotions, they can never see beyond the party line. Does said DUmmy realize how many down-on-their-luck DUmpasses are complaining about not having a job, can't find work, can't pay their rent, and can't see that the illegal criminal standing in front of them took a job from a DUmmy/Democrat? Oh wait, that would be to assume there is a DUmmy who is actually willing to work...  what was I thinking?
But of course we have the boxes checked...  Hero (gives 50 dollar tip), outrage, verbal, vile stab at Trump, virtue signalling (the illegal was exactly on time and did a bang-up job, even cleaned up after themselves). Then, as usual, DUmmy has to make it about HIM... explain how much danger he is now in, and how he will save himself by openly declaring his defiance in front of the other defects.
How cringy...  find a different line of work, DUmpass. Creative writing isn't in your wheel house

What does a new washer have to do with Trump?
Plenty. Read on.

15-yr old washer crapped out last Friday. Ordered new one from Lowe's -- very easy -- checked Consumer Reports for ratings; went to Lowe's website, found my local store (45 miles away, I'm in a rural VA county), found the washer, ordered and paid for it in a few clicks.; set up delivery for today.

At 9:00 AM today, got cell phone call from XXXX , told me they would be here in 30 minutes. Sure enough, 28 minutes later they rolled up.

Showed XXXX the old washer while YYYY prepped the new one to unload. XXXX disconnected the old one, YYYY came in and the two of them picked up the old washer and went out with it. Came back in with the new one, set it in place, connected it, turned it on to run a test wash.

I had to move a roll-around cart that holds our food processor, electric skillet, etc. They rolled it back in place for me. Some snow on the ground, so, they mopped up their tracks off the floor, closed all the double doors that we had to open.

Whole operation took 13 minutes and was absolutely perfect. I just received an email from Lowe's asking to rate them, gave them both highest ratings.

I gave each of them a $50 tip and two bottles of water.

I then asked them, point blank, are you in the country legally and are you afraid of being deported. One guy said he was legal as was his wife but he worried about some relatives and wife was very upset, can't stop crying. The other guy is single, not legal, said he stays low, cannot sleep, and all he wants is a job and a roof over his head.

I'm a nice person and rarely speak ill of people but in Trump's case I hate him with a white-hot hate and that includes everyone associated with him. Too bad the guy in Butler PA was not a better marksman. I HATE TRUMP AND EVERYONE AROUND HIM.

Now I wonder : By giving a guy not in the country legally a $50 tip and two bottles of water, am I liable to be arrested? Arrest me if you dare, you POS MFers -- GFY while you are at it!!

I HATE TRUMP AND EVERYONE AROUND HIM.

The heart, the work ethic, the family values, and the all-around general humanity of these people would eclipse *rump‘s entire life contribution in one day.

And I’m still willing to consider wiggle room in the story about that guy in Butler PA.

...  what is your point other than to declare your position as pro-illegal job and resource stealer?

freekin simpletons, the entire lot of 'em

Now why can't you just enjoy your new washer, mind your business and quit poking into people's personal business.

shpuld be easy enough to check out if true - it isn't, who gives delivery men tips and bottled water?

Damn, that sounds racist AF. You saw hispanics and automatically assumed they were illegals? I live in Florida. Not hard to find Hispanic guys, born and raised, who speak more country than I do. ALL of them Alabama fans for some odd reason. Can't forgive them for that. Then again, I don't forgive anyone for that. {spit}

There are so many different things wrong with this Bouncy it's hard to know where to start.

Got a call that they were on the way, and he timed them, and then he timed them swapping out washing machines?  Does he wander around the house with a stopwatch?  And 13 minutes from the moment they arrived until they left?  Admittedly, installing a washing machine is pretty easy, but 13 minutes for all the steps he described isn't even close to possible.

Some other details that fall flat.  Like he was impressed that they mopped up the snow they brought in on their shoes, but he doesn't mention them cleaning up the water that leaked on the floor when the old washer was disconnected?  He says they picked up the washer and carried it out.  Nope, they would have used a dolly.

But the central theme of the Bouncy, questioning a Lowe's employee's immigration status, contains the most unbelievable claim of the whole tale.  In order to become a Lowe's employee, you have to prove you're either a citizen or working here legally.  In order to be a delivery person, you have to have a CDL, which adds additional scrutiny of your citizenship status.  And I would expect, before employees are allowed to actually be going into people's homes, they perform a deeper background check than they normally do for their in-store personnel.  Of course, there are ways to get around these checks with the proper false documentation.  But, if you spent all the time, energy and money to assemble all the documentation necessary to create a fake identity, would you immediately tell some random stranger that you were here illegally?  Especially when that random stranger can immediately call the Lowe's where you're working and tell them that you're an illegal.  Doesn't sound like he was "staying low".  Sounds like he was begging to be fired and deported.

All in all, this Bouncy is better than most of the recent ones but is still pretty weak.  Didn't start with "So", no INS Agents jumping out of the washing machine box, no conversions, no applause...They really need to up their game.

Pedro turned you in to INS and they will be coming for you the evening of January 20th.

This clown must be crapping in tall cotton to give $100.00 in tips and 4 bottles of water

I grew up in California's Central Valley, in the 50s, 60, and into the 70s. A significant number of my school classmates were Hispanic, unsurprising since California had bee a Spanish colony and then, for a couple of decades, a Mexican state. I knew even then that the families of some might have been in California longer than had mine. The thought that some might be illegals never crossed my mind.

Lowe's or their contractor typically give buyers a half-day time span and do call when they are enroute. Timing them? Why? I have better things to do.

Timing an installation? My main concerns are that things are ready for them and staying out of their way.

Cleaning up before and after an installation is typical. It's "just" part of their job, and installers I've do it well. They understand wanting repeat business and we show our appreciation in that way.

Like you, I have a hard time believing an illegal would open up about their status to a rando they've never met before who might call their employer and/or legal authorities (local or Federal).

Probably NBachers works at Home Depot, Lowe's or OSH. Break time? Day off? Screwing around on DU while on the clock?

SF has 2 HDs and a Lowes.

If he really cares he would have offered to hide them out when the deportations begin.

RACISM!!!111 That said, I have a hard time believing a large company like Lowe's doesn't have its store check the residency status of every onboarding employee and require their contractors do the same.

Your last sentence was my first thought. I've ordered stuff from three different Lowe's stores. Every thing from all three have been delivered by Lowe's employees and not contractors. I'm pretty sure that to get a job at Lowe's you have to prove residency and provide a Social Security number. Now, the employee in question could have provided fraudulent information to the company, but if he did, there is no way he would admit the truth (that he's illegal) to a total stranger. In addition to that, I have a hard time believing that a DUmmie would give anyone a $50 tip.

I think this DUmmie has done what DUmmies always do: lie. If they put as much effort into working and partaking in reality as they spend lying and bowing down to The Party overlords, there's no telling would they could accomplish.

Never would have guessed that, but you're most likely correct.  They all have to have these amazing sounding jobs so they give themselves titles that no one really cares about.

WRT companies onboarding new employees and check residency status, I've gone through that since at least the mid 1990s, and possibly even earlier. It's not something new or odd.

One would think that. But...

Since 1997, Lowe's has offered installations to customers through a network of Independent Service PROviders.

The first guy is likely the owner, while he hires illegals and pays them below min-wage under the table. To taxes for them so they still come out ahead.

What this DUmmy doesn't consider is, these illegals are not contributing to the community in the form of taxes, and they are likely paid less than min. wage.

[ROCKURWORLD]

I don't think Lowes hires illegals. If its a true story the guy was probably committing Identity fraud.

Does anybody know where this DUmpmonkey resides?  I could use an extra $750 while helping out Homan's Heroes a the same time, as they do their job of sopping up the mess from the last four years.
