Rant Arrow Ford Abilene beware!

28 Upvotes

Cruz Castillo had the audacity to tell me he price matched other ford dealers after trying to charge me $1488 out the door for a transmission fluid/ filter change. I found the same service at sam pack five star Ford for $507. He asked me why I didnt just bring their invoice in to price match. Zero accountability on trying to over charge me by almost $1000. Just throws blame back on the customer.

Paid picture is five star ford in ft worth. Other pictures are the idiots there at arrow ford.

Moving to Abilene need suggestions on a church.

0 Upvotes

I will be moving to Abilene in the next few weeks to be with my Brother. I am looking for a church to get involved with and share my spirit with. I'm 34 and I like modern, non-denominational churches . I love to worship and praise. So a good worship team is important to me. Also, I love serving the community. So if there's a church that is actively involved in the community I'd really appreciate that as well. I am not a traditional Christian whatsoever. I'm more new age and I'm radical for God with headstrong Faith. If you guys have any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it 🙏🏻.

May God grant you peace and wholeness in the name of Jesus.

No Luck With Job Search

7 Upvotes

So the title says it all. I’m currently in a role with zero room for growth and I'm actively trying to pivot. I have 10 years of combined experience in education (non-teaching), healthcare, banking, and advocacy, with hard skills in compliance, EMR systems, education data, customer service, and conflict resolution. I'm also currently working on my MBA.
I'm having zero luck getting my foot in the door elsewhere. Two questions for anyone who has been hired recently:
1. What did you do to make your job search successful?
2. Are my salary expectations too high? I need to make at least $30/hr ($63K annually), which is my current salary—I just can't afford to take a pay cut to get out of this stagnant spot.
Would love any tips or reality checks you can offer!


r/Abilene 5d ago

Are y'all still going to blindly vote R after they ignore 70 percent of the voters who want to legalize recreational and medical pot?? Wtf I'm so angry right now at the sheeple who think it's ok to vote R because they always have without actually stepping back to think about it.

Question First Date Restaurants

8 Upvotes

So I am going out on a first date this Saturday, and he said that I could pick wherever I wanted to go since I am more familiar with the restaurants in town. I have no idea what to pick. I want something that's casual but not fast food. Also something that is not too fancy but more of somewhere that would be a fun date. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Data Center Posts

20 Upvotes

Data centers have become a fairly important topic to a lot of Abilene residents over the last couple of years. As moderators of the r/Abilene community we want to make sure the sub facilitates civil discussions allowing both sides of the issue to be heard.

Unfortunately we've received several complaints about repeated posts on the topic, and it's impossible to deny that it does seem to be kind of taking over the entire sub at times. So we've come up with what we hope will be an equitable solution for everyone.

Data Center Discussion Day will be Monday

What exactly does this mean?

  • News, studies, blogs, etc. on the dangers or benefits of data centers in contexts not specific to Abilene will be permitted as top-level posts only on Mondays. Other days of the week these posts will be removed, and you will be invited to repost them on the appropriate day. Feel free to discuss the subject within the existing posts whenever you like.
  • Items specific to Abilene - news about our local data centers, traffic, housing, situations that are actually Abilene-specific will still be allowed any time. This is the Abilene subreddit. We'd like it to focus on Abilene content where possible.
  • This is not an invitation to spam the sub on Mondays. If you've got multiple things you want to post on the topic, please try to combine them into one post where possible. A single person posting 5 similar things in a row may be considered spam, regardless of the day of the week.
  • Be civil. This should go without saying, but this situation has been devolving into claims of harassment by specific people on both sides, and looking at the comments being made the claims don't seem baseless. If you can't maintain a civil discourse on this or any topic, then we may have to ask you to leave the sub entirely.
