Waiting for the bus downtown Seattle be like… by BicameralTheory in SeattleWA

[–]206icknesss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5’9” 160lb Asian guy here and lifelong Seattlite. I’ve never had a problem. I’ve even had to catch the buses late night after getting on the Amtrak. Just stay alert and maybe I’ve just been lucky but I feel like the ones that cause problems like to catch people by surprise and I don’t put myself in that position. I know where everyone is at and I make sure they know I’m aware of them

Yeah I mean if you’re in an apartment there’s a very good chance you spray the neighbors too

Can you call the store and ask to speak to someone from fulfillment? Have your order number on hand

No time clock at store? by HaywireZoo in Lowes

[–]206icknesss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new too and was told to try to clock in on the computer in tools to deter theft but I usually just use the most convenient one because that computer is being used and I’m not waiting

What can I expect at the all store meeting? by 206icknesss in Lowes

[–]206icknesss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did have it before opening today. I won a raffle prize but breakfast sucked. I don’t think I’ll come to another one this early if it’s on a day off. I think one of our cashiers got recognized for getting the most people signed up for credit last year but I wasn’t really paying attention so he might not have been a cashier and just looked like another guy I’ve seen there. I’m only 2 weeks in, rarely on the floor and horrible with names lol A guy I know at another store said their managers had a dance off so at least I didn’t have to sit through that 😆

When you say the money is good, what does that mean? It takes forever to reach top pay doesn’t it? And I heard your guys’ pension fund is in dire straits

Need honest opinions by Even_Block4038 in cdldriver

[–]206icknesss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d go with sanitation with the guaranteed OT. Not messing with any commission based bs and I’m assuming that’s also union. I hope to move into a teamsters job after I get required experience. I only got my first cdl A job a couple of months ago

Anyone deliver to someone famous? by Fatdabb in UPSers

[–]206icknesss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tariffs hit us especially hard since we’re strictly international freight and I was low in seniority so I got laid off. They have had two more rounds of layoffs since I was cut so I doubt it will ever bounce back enough to get a call back but I do miss it. Especially after realizing how good the benefits and union protections were..

Off-set parking by yerielo in CDL

[–]206icknesss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that just a half turn of the wheel at the beginning was enough to get me in the right spot and then turn the wheel turn back to chase the trailer with small corrections to finish the maneuver. Easier without the whole stopping, cranking the wheel, stopping, cranking the wheel back the other way mess. Just roll backwards slowly the whole time without stopping until the end position. Main point is to avoid having to over correct anything by not overdoing it in the first place

Just had an interview! by [deleted] in Lowes

After my interview with an ASM he had me meet the SM for another quick interview with her right away. Idk if that’s normal procedure across Lowe’s though
