@Delta I see you have a direct flight to Munich from Detroit in the summer. Any chance you’d add a November version so we can go to the Lions game on our favorite airline?

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@Delta you have a seasonal nonstop service between Detroit and Munich but it looks like it ends before November. would you consider adding that for the weekend of the Lions/Patriots game in Munich? Us loyal Delta Detroiters would hate to fly with someone else.

@FedEx this morning I visited your print store in Oak Park Michigan. Liz, the store manager helped me. She was probably the best customer service professional I’ve ever interacted with. Just thought it was worth sharing and that she should be celebrated.

@DairyQueen @DairyQueen filled it out. Never heard back from you?

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@DairyQueen no obvious way to communicate to you via the app. But just got two blizzards in Berkeley, MI that are just soft serve with a few pieces of cookie dough on top. Life-long customer feeling very disappointed.

@walmarthelp Following up on your response to my tweet. I’d love your help as this situation has become very frustrating.

Having the worst #customerexperience with @Walmart I’ve now spent more than two weeks and 5 hours on the phone trying to return a product. You can see in the pics it very clearly says “free returns” and eligible in store. Yet they refuse and pickups “scheduled” don’t show!

@microsoft @Outlook when will there be a feature to respond to calendar invites with indication of in-person vs virtual attendance? #hybridwork

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@Microsoft @Outlook can you please add a feature to the calendar function which allows for an “accept” rsvp to indicate whether one is attending JN person or virtually. #hybridwork

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@Walmart @Target @cvspharmacy @LabCorpCareers thanks for your leadership. But where is the philanthropy? You’re all going to make $$$$ on this consumer surge, how about expanding jobs or covering wages for the thousands that are out of work in service ind etc?

Long travel day back from Morocco. Disappointed that @britishairways didn’t even offer water on a 4 hour intl flight but very please with @AmericanAir service (seat comfort and food) who I sometimes complain about.

@evernotehelps @evernote On my MacBook

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@evernote @evernotehelps I just upgraded to premium and am trying to work on PDF annotation but there is not horizontal scroll bar, meaning if I enlarge a document I can't move side to side to see the whole thing. How can I fix this?

@AppleSupport how come I can’t leave a FaceTime video message on an iPhone?

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@ZevSupport Thanks Zev. I posted there.

@googlecalendar is there a way to add a recurring event on a Hebrew calendar date that would sync up on my Gregorian calendar?

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@Mutant187 @ReconJudaism @eJPhil On the whole though this is not the crux of my article which about rethinking our philanthropic model for building community.

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@Mutant187 @ReconJudaism @eJPhil It feels like you think I disagree with you. I don’t. Many members of our shul contribute just a few $ a month and that’s great! But I think it’s important everyone contributes something meaningful. Churches use honor system but still need big $ donors

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@Mutant187 @ReconJudaism @eJPhil I totally agree with you. I think we are both advocating for a shift in the culture of Jewish community and institutions. I want to build meaningful relationships that foster a connection that people want to support. Thanks for the feedback

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@JetBlue booked this flight with you guys. Bummed about your partner’s service

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@CapeAir unacceptable flight delay of 3 hours because pilot is fatigued. Can I go to work late tomorrow with no repercussions if I’m tired after getting home at midnight?

[Ari Witkin @ariwitkin]

@Mutant187 @ReconJudaism @eJPhil I think sliding scale can work great and that equitable contribution based on means is really important and in line with Jewish values and tradition. A la Carter Jewish life though isn’t what being a part of community is about IMO.
