>take job interview>"Do you have Reliable Transportation?"How do you explain that your bike is "Reliable Transportation" in the High Figgies Job Interview?
Many years of unemployment have taught me the painful lesson of lying to get the job, then do whatever you want and dare them to fire you.
I'd be like no, I would not consider the MTA "reliable" per se but Americans will settle for anything if the alternative is framed as "communism"
>>2076284They should see your Lycra and know that you're Fast.
>>2076284Remember that businesses look for normal people so they don't want off-the-wall excuses and you need to reason why you ride a bicycle. Usually people who ride bicycles as their main form of transportation are college students, poor people, and people with some unusual circumstance that prevents them from using a car, like too many DUIs. Your options are pretty limited>I'm poorThat might work for a while until you can get "real money" than you'll be seen as a weirdo for using a bicycle.>I have too many DUIsNever admit this.>I'm disabledThis won't work as if you had a documented disability you could get your top pick in transit including dial-a-ride services. Plus if you're disabled it opens up a can of worms about what you can do and can't do, and reasonable accommodation.>I have an ideological opposition to driving a carBusinesses look for people who can pose as normal or the "right kind" of quirky. This is not one of them.
Yeah, I ride a bike. I rode a bike to my last job too. Picrel, here's my bike.
>>2076308You're missing a 5th option which is being a fitness nut which businesses look favorably upon as it shows discipline.
>Do you have reliable transportationYes, it's called a bicycle, I'm also prepared to use public transport as necessary for this job>Why?Because gas is expensive and I need the exercisethat's all you need to say, Christ everyone here is so autistic it's unreal
>>2076284I ride an e-bike, so no, it's not very reliable, but you're hiring a tech, so I can fix that shit in the morning anyway. I have access to the company DigiKey account, right?
>>2076284I really hate that nonsense. 90% of the shit that goes wrong on my bike I can fix easily and quickly, how many people can say that about their cars? I almost didn't get one of my first jobs because they were concerned about my ability to get to work, I was never even late in a year and a half at the job but at least once a month someone would miss an entire shift because their car wouldn't start.
>>2076316>at least once a month someone would miss an entire shift because their car wouldn't start.this happened to me with an ebike once but even then I was like "I can pedal it and I'll be only `on time` instead of early but hella sweaty"they told me i could just stay home to try to troubleshoot it if i spent a vacation day. i spent the day getting very drunk instead

>>2076321Not that anon but does that ever actually work?
>>2076326i have like 60k in savings and it's mostly from not having expenses beyond rent, utilities, and telephony. i dont make much either
The only acceptable answer is "yes". The purpose of the question is to make a statement to the employee that having transportation issues isn't considered a valid reason to be late or miss a shift.
>>2076317>>2076319Lazy drunk faggot casuals.
>>2076326Good point. If it declares pindick materialism even more, fantastic. Not wanting stupid shit is freedom
>>2076431I'm not reading all of that
>>2076284>"The bicycle is the most reliable transport"
