Does anyone think she may add a second date for her hometown with just her and Alch?

Now $8 is genuinely a reality again, after years, and I can see this stock going back to the $30s realistically, based purely on fundamentals.

I've been checking the website almost everyday and all seats (apart from the neck breaking front) are still booked daily! I've avoided seeing the movie on any other screen because I wanted my first experience to be on the 70MM Imax. Just wild to me it's still booked daily!

An employee at QuikTrip and an employee at Aldi both wear meta glasses while working / checking out customers. Just find it weird and a little invasive, it's obviously not for safety as the stores for sure have cameras in them already for that reason.

Most likely aspiring small YouTubers to do the "Day in my life as a _____" type videos. Which, sure, are harmless but at the same time I feel weird going to the gas station or the store and being made into content.

So I've been applying for jobs like crazy over the last two months. Time after time I'm receiving "Thank you for you interest, but---" emails back. Fast forward to last Thursday, I received a call from a local number and I missed it because I had my phone charging. They didn't leave a voicemail, which in this day in age is a good sign to me, since most who do are scammers. I decided to call back and got no answer. Then about 15 minutes after I called back, the person called me back and said his name was Michael Reynolds. I told him my name and asked for the reason of the call, he said that he had my application given to him by some guy named Bill Kellerman and that he was looking for a driver for a company he worked for called "Legacy Operations Group." The company was apparently some kind of contracted company by real-estate companies to do things like bring lock-boxes to properties, verify that properties were real/where they said they were, bring carpet samples/blinds/etc to different contractors of their properties, and other tasks like that, that's how he explained to me what I'd be doing at least.

I quickly named off my experience with driving and told him I would be up for it. He told me it was $21/hr, which seemed reasonable and not like a "too good to be true" type of pay. He said that they were needing to get operations moving by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, since they were new to the Texas area, having mostly operated in Kansas City, MO. Over the next few days we texted about details such as I'd be driving my own vehicle for the first 2-3 weeks while getting 60 cents per mile on top of the hourly and he told me about dress code (polo shirt with no brandings besides small logo, khaki shorts were fine during the summer heat, etc.) Mind you, this dude sounded like a 50-something year old articulate American man, no accents or AI-voice mess ups at all. The day before I was set to start, this most recent Monday, he texted asking if I had car insurance because they have a "supplemental commercial policy but it requires proof of personal coverage." I told him I did and he had my send my insurance card and license for proof. (This is the only personal info I shared with him the entire time).

Jump to Tuesday, start day, he calls me in the morning and says that he's driving in from Missouri and is in Oklahoma, planning to arrive by noon or a little afterwards. He details how I'll be doing my onboarding paperwork, watching a safety video (he even went as far as apologizing and saying "I'm sorry it's one of those cheesy videos that looks like it was filmed in the 90s"), and a few other people from Missouri will be in town this week since it's our first week of operations in Texas so he's going to get catering (for more credibility, he then asked if I had any food allergies/restrictions, which I do and I told him).

After explaining that, he said he was gonna send me on a few errands while I waited for him to get to town to the office so we could do all that. So he sends me an address and asks me to go there to verify if the property has a building permit posted yet, reminding me to be sure to log my miles as many people forget to do that on their first day... So I hop in the car, take a pic of my miles and go to the address in South FTW. Get there, there is a property for sale, but no permit. I call him, tell him, he asks for a picture, I send it, and then he gives me another errand. This time he needs me to go to the post office and get a priority mailer that is large enough to ship a ream of paper or several envelopes. He says we have a lot of stuff to mail out the next day and it has to be postmarked by that date so we need a box to ship it all in tomorrow. I get the box, and then he tells me to go to the office and wait for him, at this point it's about 10:45. He says to wait there but there might be one or two more errands, he's just gotta find out from someone else, yada yada. I go to the "office" (which is an actual office building, the building by Tyler's, HG Supply Co, Potter Barn, West Elm, etc) and wait in the parking garage. After about 15 minutes of waiting he says that he's gonna send me on one more errand and to go to the Staples which is across the street and call him. I go to Staples, call him, and he lets me know an office lady named "Deedra" is going to come and give me an envelope that I'll need to take somewhere, and to call him after I get it. She comes, I get the envelope, I call him...

On the call he says to go to the Post Office on Lancaster in Downtown and once I get there, open the envelope and it will be a check from the company to pay to the order of the post office. "We need 4,000 stamps for the letters we need to get postmarked by tomorrow. I just need you to get these for me so once I get to the office we can start working on those while you do your onboarding and stuff." Now if this would have been the first task, I would've caught it immediately, but since he sent me on the run to the property for sale, I genuinely thought I was doing work... Again, I've been searching for a job for a few months and was/still am pretty desperate for money.

So I go inside the Post Office and ask for 4,000 stamps, to which the post lady responds saying "We don't have that many." I leave, call him and tell him. He has me go to another one, on Taylor St Downtown. I go in, ask, and get told they don't have 4,000 stamps on hand either but to try the one on Meacham (Jack D. Watson Post Office). I go there, and when I walk in I see "Deedra" in line as well talking to a post office lady. I assume she's getting some too? Not sure... I get up to the front and get the same worker that Deedra had and ask if she was getting 4,000 stamps too, and the post lady told me she was asking for 10,000... Weird, but whatever I think. I ask for 4,000 and she says that they have them, I present the check ($3,280) and she takes it and says they have to go verify it but she'll package up for stamps while that happens. About 10 mins later she comes back and says it can't be verified, so I call Michael and tell him. He has me ask the post lady if they'll do a wire transfer, which she says no. Then asks if they accept cash, which they do. So he tells me to go back to the office and one of the lady's will give me cash to come back and get them...

Now at this point I'm really like wtf... Have I just wasted all my gas and time for the day. I still have a weird tiny sliver of hope, but I don't fully trust in the dude anymore. I go back to the office and call him, he tells me to wait they're getting it together and to just wait in the parking lot. I wait for about 15 mins and then I realize the exact Suite # to the address is on the check that I had for the post office, which I still have. So I decide to go up to the building and take the elevator to the suite #. I get up there and see that the business name on the door is for a company called "RobertHalf" which is a staffing agency. Now my mind shifts to "Oh, I was hired through a staffing agency, that's why he didn't want me to go up here til he got here." But then I decided to go inside RobertHalf and ask about "Legacy Operations Group" and "Michael Reynolds." So I go in and ask and explain the situation and show the check with the address that matches the one I'm at. She looks up business they work with and his name, to which she finds nothing.

At this point I knew for sure it was all some weird elaborate scheme to get... stamps? But I'm not sure why. I head back down from the office building to my car and get a text from Michael "Go home for the day, we can't make this happen." I respond asking about onboarding, the lunch, and the safety video. No answer. I leave, but before driving home I decide to stop in the Staples to see if I can see that Deedra lady handing anyone else envelopes. I pull in, I don't see Deedra but I notice another car that I saw when I was there earlier. It's a beat up old Ford Fusion and an older black dude is sitting in it with all the windows down. I pulled up beside him and ask "Hey, were you hired for a job and this is your first day?" He said "Yeah, Legacy Operations Group?" I said "Yeah." Then I asked if he was told to go by stamps too, he said yeah. Then I told him I think we're being used to try and get fraudulent checks to work at the post office to get stamps for whatever reason. Dude looked so defeated... He said he used all his gas going to different post offices and coming here and that Michael had promised him $100 in gas money til he got his first check and that he told him he was on the way with money but hasn't been picking up his calls in 30 mins. I told him he probably wasn't coming and that I was sorry. I told him I'd throw in a little bit of gas but it was $4.00 a gallon at the Exxon right there since it's the rich people area and if he wanted to drive a few mins down the road it was $0.40 cheaper. He said he couldn't even make it there, so I ended up putting $7 in his tank at the Exxon and we said our goodbyes and wished each other good luck....

Sucks to see that scammers are now targeting people who are in need of a job. I never had to deal with worrying about this even 10 years ago... Our world is beyond sad now. Does anyone know what these scammers were trying to do with so many stamps from the post office? Every time I try to google this situation it just brings up articles about counterfeit stamps, but these scammers were wanting real genuine stamps... I'm just curious what they were going to do if the check somehow went through and I got the stamps.

TLDR;

Was searching for a job, put in lots of applications. Someone called me saying they got my resume, offered me a job driving for real estate owners to do small tasks for $21/hr + $0.60 miles. Accepted it and on my first day he sent me on a few tasks before meeting at the office. Had lady bring me an envelope at Staples and had me go to post office to buy 4,000 stamps with the $3,280 check in the envelope. Went to 3 post offices before they had that and then the check didn't clear at the third post office. Went back to the "office" address on the check and saw the company names didn't match. Left and saw another guy in the Staples parking lot who had no gas and helped him with $7 in gas to get home. Now am still jobless... If anyone knows any jobs paying $20+ for a non CDL driver or anything weekdays indoors, let me know.

Is it just going to be a DJ playing his songs or what? Will Liza be attending and/or speaking at some? Will there be past GBC members along on the tour? Just curious, thinking about going but also feels kinda corny to go to a "concert" where the artist isn't even there, or even alive for that matter...

I usually order Tbell once a week... This new app has legit turned me off of it.

Ya'll fucked up Taco Bell Corporate.
