> tell them the price is too high and you’re canceling

This is my first year in Worcester and I was worried about this since Worcester doesn't really have any options to threaten to move to.

Had no issues though the call took maybe 5 minutes. I just said I want the promo price, got one "that's only for the first year" response and just said "but I want the promo price" and they just said ok.

  1. Try calling on Friday (payday) but not too close to 5:00PM

  2. If a male customer service rep answers, put the female of the house on and use a nice, passive voice.

  3. Usually you can tell the customers service reps personality and mood with 10 seconds of the call. If it doesn't seem like someone who is easygoing and amenable, just hang up and call again.

A safer bet might be to call them and tell them the price is too high and you’re canceling. If you just ask for a discount they could just deny you, but they’re more likely to give you one if they’re trying to keep a customer. That’s how I approached it anyway

Sturbridge Village

The clothes are itchy, tourists gawking at you all the time, the slumlords that run the place don't provide modern appliances or running water, no electricity, your neighbors have a total lack of basic hygiene, healthcare providers dont even know about bacteria yet, etc etc

No worries

Also, fentanyl can most certainly be deadly when airborne. You’d have to walk into a fresh cloud of it, but it’s possible if a large bag of it ripped open, something like that. Something that you’re unlikely to encounter, obviously.

The reports regarding first responders have largely (like 99%) been hysteria manifesting itself as physical symptoms (fainting, dizziness, etc) but there have been a few cases of FRs being legitimately exposed.
