I've always assumed you pay extra because multiple people have to carry the bag around after you check it, and that's harder/more dangerous at higher weights.
In warehouses, you gotta go get your lift belt and often a partner if something is over a certain weight, and you aren't covered by workman's comp if you just try to do it quickly without those, so it's a serious hassle.
It's not functioning as a thank you, it's honestly just an indication that you're willing to take an extra 5 minutes to do something when the stakes are high.
If you really want the job, how you treat that conversation might be similar to how you treat a client once you're hired. If you don't really want the job, or you really don't want to send a thank you, that's fine, but with 5 applicants to choose from, wouldn't they opt for the candidate who put in the best/most work?
I'm not saying it isn't annoying and transactional and a lot to ask, but as someone who's applied for hundreds of jobs, the reason to do it still feels clear.
That's just being used as a tube making the normal pipe longer. A bong has a chamber for water that the smoke passes through.

You're the one who quoted the guy! This is just another quote attributed to Camus about absurdity.
Says the same guy wondering, "should I have a cup of coffee, or kill myself?" (And who's right about both)
I don't even know who this guy is, but I'll avoid him. The expression has been around a hundred years.
If Grandma had wheels she'd be a bus
Tbh I want a lot more from my life than the top picture, but I'm more than ok with the place I sleep looking like it. Especially if it means I've got more to spend (money or timewise) on my specific priorities.
Gonna send them laptop batteries instead
That's definitely Big Boy with the fro in the front
But they make Saints Row so much fun
I'll trade you a burger for it
Unfortunately, it can also (and more often has in history) have the opposite effect. Because consumer spending is so highly concentrated among the best-off, we could see a significant spending contraction in lower brackets that would have a minimal effect on total spending.
The people who now fuel the market are those with the most insulation from tough times, so even if 100% of low earners found a way to halt 100% of their spending, big companies' profits would only dip 10%, and they'll end up retaining the customers who can handle price increases.
Scene/more?
Suspect wanted to kill Jews, stabbed an unsuspecting Spaniard. Hate to say it, but you really do never expect the Inquisition.
It is weird to see the voice actors from long-running shows having aged because their characters look and sound the same as they did a decade ago.
My doctor said I can't go in the water for two weeks after my surgery.
I said that's ok, Doc, I prune up after just a few hours.
Do you value high fidelity (audio, visual, or other)? Do you notice a difference?
It often surprises me to see people with time, money, and knowledge settling for subpar experiences that have night and day differences to me. Even at my brokest (pretty darn broke), speakers, headphones, and glasses were always worth researching and some saving up, and the difference between what I'd end up with and the average always feels like it paid off tenfold.
I've got a surprising number of friends/acquaintances who just don't seem to care, though, and I am trying to understand if they just don't experience the difference similarly or if they don't mind. I know musicians who just continue using generation 1 airpods or the headphones included with their phone, birdwatchers who don't care about their binoculars, people who don't care if they could easily make their food taste better, and more examples of people who, in my opinion, could get 50% better results/experiences by putting in 1% more thought/effort.
When I've asked some friends about it, it sounds as much like they ju
