It’s one of the dentists covered under my current ACA insurance.

Scheduled appointment an hour in a half in advance online.

They didn’t get it.

Inattentive driving had me pull into the wrong lot thinking it was connected.

Still made it on time.

Told them a filling fell out and would like a cleaning as well.

Filled out 6 pages of bullshit paperwork.

Watched 6 people come in, get service, then leave. 2 of those individuals walked in without an appointment.

Realizing 90 minutes had passed, I told them I had to go.

“Do you want to reschedule now, sir?”

“NOPE!”

Just ate two carmel glazed cake donuts, a half dozen chocolate glazed donut holes, and drank a Kroger Pure Sugar Cola.

... I think I’ve calmed down now.

Reminds me of the local Boston Pizza (a Canadian pizza chain restaurant) . Last time we went there, we ordered our food - nothing special. Other people came in , were seated, ordered their food and got it, all while we were still waiting for ours. We were also wrangling three squirmy kids, trying to keep them occupied while waiting.

Haven’t eaten there since.

Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)

Affordable Care Act - also known as Obamacare.  You know, the health care system that every other first world country laughs at.

My then-wife and I went to Olive Garden, oh, almost 25 years ago.

Server took our orders, brought our drinks, and then...nothing.

There were, as far as I could tell, no more than 3-4 other customers in the entire restaurant, yet our server felt it necessary to ghost us. No one wandered near us for 45 minutes.

We finally walked out. I never did find out what was going on, but I assume the kitchen staff were out sick or something. Haven’t been back to any Olive Garden since.

Bet you’re glad you’re Canadian

I kid of course.  I know healthcare in Canada has its ups and downs.

Checked what “ Kroger Pure Sugar Cola” is and it seems that your Cola (Kroger, Pepsi and Coca) are all around 40g/can while in here the C oca is ~34g and Pepsi is ~23g, no wonder the dental business are busy.

Sounds about right. The other common one I hear is that people can’t get an appointment anywhere near home or work , especially for the lower-cost plans .

But seriously, normally sodas hear are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup which is much, much worse.  Luckily, I only have one soda 2-3 times a week.  The rest of the time it's water or juice.

Supposedly, there are some independent dentist that accept my insurance near me. I just tried this one because I’ve scheduled and cancelled appointments multiple times for dentist and eye care in the past 6 weeks due to the anxiety of not seeing the providers that I normally see, some of them for over a decade.
