I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.
I’m honestly hesitant to post this here, but… the absolute ludicrosity compels me. How? How does he have the gall to say something like that? He ought to burst into flames on the spot.

They are for the “credit score” they give you. There’s dozens of different credit scores that different lenders pull though. Ones that are specifically curated for their needs and that you’ll never see.
They also take a percentage of every transaction. Your ‘reward points’ came out of your own pocket in the form of credit card processing fees that are baked into the price of everything you buy.
