Paid upgraded seats should include guaranteed overhead bin space.

Its beyond me. There is enough space overhead if everyone adheres to the one bag in the overhead bin policy. If you paid for "preferred", "extra legroom", or "choice" seating the bin space overhead should be reserved also. Three stickers with seat/bin assignment can be placed evenly on the bulkhead. Less effort and manpower could be expended by observant FA's regulating bin hogs than GA's and baggage handlers rounding up, tagging and loading gate checked carry ons.
I think it's an inevitable evolution that your single overhead bin space allotment will be reserved with your seat.

World cup soccer vs Tour de France.

Soooooo sick of watching grown men grabbing their shins rolling on the ground like stuck piglets when slow mo shows no contact to the area they are clutching. For fks sake. Props to the Japanese players who never do this. They have self respect.
On the other hand, I'm watching the Tour de France today and a rider who was involved in a crash, can barely bear weight on his right hip is struggling to get on the bike so he can continue. Thats respectable.
For world cup coverage: Maybe because it's FOX, a network specializing in glorifying false victimhood, they feel obligated to have the camera linger on every flopping snowflake on the pitch.
Refs should be able to taze these petunias in mid flop performance when there is no foul/penalty.

Conspiring, dishonest staff at branded partner store.

**Formal Complaint: Severe Customer Deception and Account Cramming at Louisiana Blvd Partner Store (Albuquerque) – Requesting Corporate Investigation**

Begin:
**I am posting this to formally request a corporate investigation and disciplinary sanctions against the Xfinity Comcast Branded Partner store located on Louisiana Blvd in Albuquerque, NM. While I remain satisfied with Xfinity’s core services, the predatory sales practices and complete lack of management accountability at this specific third-party location are completely unacceptable.**
**The Timeline of Events:**
**November 2025: I successfully activated a new internet and land line service plan at the corporate Xfinity store on Cutler Ave in Albuquerque. My experience there was seamless. I enrolled in autopay at that time.**
**March 6, 2026: I visited the Comcast Branded Partner storefront on Louisiana Blvd. My explicitly stated goal to the representative was to reduce my monthly bill by removing a landline service I no longer needed.**
**The Deception: Without a single word of discussion, negotiation, or verbal consent, the sales representative secretly added television services to my account, inflating my bill not reducing it. When they presented the digital signature pad, they represented it as the authorization to remove the landline. I trusted the representative and signed under the false pretense that the agent was executing my explicit request.**
**May 2026: I noticed the unauthorized television charges on my billing statement. I returned to the Louisiana Blvd storefront to have the services removed, and I inquired politely as to why the representative had added services to my account that I never requested.**
**Management's Refusal to Act and Blame-Shifting: During this visit, I spoke directly with the store manager, Miguel. Instead of correcting the mistake or doing the right thing, Miguel flatly refused to change my service back. He dishonestly refused to acknowledge that his representative had added the services entirely without my consent; instead, he somehow tried to make it my fault, using the fact that I signed the authorization against me. He completely ignored the fact that his rep had lied about what I was signing. To make matters worse, he then tried to upsell me onto alternative packages rather than addressing the fraud.**
**My Demand to Xfinity Corporate:**
**The behavior of Miguel and his retail staff goes far beyond a simple mistake—it is deliberate "cramming" designed to hit sales quotas by exploiting customer trust. This experience was wholly dishonest and unacceptable. I am left with the distinct impression that management and the employees are actively working together to enable this behavior.**
**I have since untangled this billing mess on my own. What specific compliance oversight does Xfinity maintain over these Branded Partners to prevent them from defrauding your customer base?**
**I am formally requesting that the corporate Digital Care / Executive Team escalate this matter to regional retail leadership. This store needs to be investigated and sanctioned. I would like a formal follow-up regarding what is happening and the steps being taken to address this location's practices. Looking into Google reviews for this location reveals a steady pattern of fraudulently "cramminng" services.**
