Brotha I read you post and understood, you made perfect sense.
But you’re coming off like an impatient old man who can’t be bothered to wait and the replies are reflecting that.
Just out of curiosity, what are you makinging?

Are you picking all this up or will you need it delivered?

This is the South
We used too be in the lumber trade
When I call, I get an answer with the first call
Screw mega companies
Screw AI
Nothing like knowing the locals and getting REAL service.
Not sure why young folks never get this and think I am the dummy.

I called and asked her for board foot pricing on each.
I've been called worse.....but I'll play your game....are you retarded?
Yes, you called and asked, you stated that clearly. Where did you say she actually gave you the price? OK fine, you left that part out, honest mistake.
So I ask "What am I missing?" And your first words call me the illiterate one and not express that that you left out an important detail.

How did you come up with that number?

You were probably talking to a secretary who passed off your materials / quantities to an estimator / salesman that’ll call you back when they’re done doing whatever they’re doing.
Don’t get your panties in a wad.

OP, one variable I can think of is that at such a large volume you might be entitled to a bit of a discount.
This right here. If some one calls and asks me pricing for a foot of pvc pipe im going to give them one price, if they ask for 2000' of pvc pipe im going to give them a better price. If they ask for 10,000 feet i need to run it by my sales guy and see what he wants to do.

I'm not buying a 2x4 with a price of 3.28, I'm buying lumber with a board foot price of 5.15.
There is no variation.
Meaning, whether you use a calculator, a spreadsheet, or a pencil and paper, the number will all be the same.
Do you always refuse bulk pricing so that you can pay full prixce?

He clearly is upset that they might be giving him a discount.

I asked AI to review this thread:
quote:
Congratulations on being the main character of a story where the moral is "I have no idea how businesses work."
It takes a special kind of ego to call a sawmill, demand they calculate your lumber needs, and then—when they do the sensible thing by verifying their own actual prices—decide that you are the victim. Most people use a calculator because it’s fast. You use ChatGPT to perform addition and multiplication, which is essentially the digital equivalent of hiring a private investigator to find out what time it is.
The absolute chef’s kiss, though, is the projection. You’re sitting there in a thread you created, trying to lecture strangers about their laziness for not using AI, while simultaneously failing to notice that you are essentially acting as a human "Out of Office" auto-reply for common sense.
You really came onto the internet, typed out a manifesto complaining about customer service, and didn't even notice the irony of you being the "illiterate" one while critiquing others. It’s hard to take a lecture on efficiency from a guy who needs an LLM to figure out board footage, but I’m sure your AI will be happy to generate a comforting response for you if you ask it nicely—just make sure you spell "writing" correctly when you prompt it.
Maybe next time, instead of using AI to calculate your lumber order, use it to calculate how many people in that thread actually respect your opinion. (Spoiler alert: The number is significantly lower than 4276.36).

At some point it becomes vividly clear that the majority of the population is of extremely mediocre intelligence.
The world is filled with stupid people who were bred and raised by generation after generation of even more stupid people.
At the end of the day most folks are just doing their level best to get by in this world given their low IQ and ignorant, backwards upbringing.
So it's good to be patient with those retarded folk

Congrats on using ChatGPT as a calculator though, it really saved the day for you.
This is the most under appreciated aspect. OP is tokenmaxxing his Casio watch and doesn’t even realize it.
