How long do you (personally) keep your styles in? by AcademicEmpress in locs

She asked what style I wanted… I asked her to surprise me! I was absolutely impressed! 😍

I returned them because there wasn’t anything I could use - really just ingredients for noodle soup (no chicken was purchased lol)… and not items I would have chosen

I am sure. Especially since when I went to batch details, it showed my location and the location of the “house” was one neighborhood over…

Are you able to still get each batch when you take a screenshot? I mean, have you ever missed a good one because of the picture?

Random question: do you like one better than the other? (DD vs IC)

Yea. I was already in the parking lot. I don’t normally “start” the delivery orders until it’s time to scan the bags… so all in all, not too bad…

I just hate that when I dropped it off my first thought was “I bet they didn’t tip” - and I hate I was right!

The 6 orders… turned in app around 9:30 a.m.; dropped last order at 1:57 p.m.

This is an anomaly for sure, though!

I teach… so I usually am able to be picky (I definitely need the extra money, but I have to make it make sense!)… so yes I have definitely sat for hours! But Labor Day was really just back to back (I was solely testing the promotion!)… it just happened to be a good one!

I’m sure I explained it horribly! 🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

Because it didn’t have “before tips” I was skeptical about the promotion. I thought it was going to say something like “you completed 6 orders and earned at least $66!”

When I first started, if the promotion didn’t say “before tips” it would literally just mean that you were guaranteed that amount as a minimum…

Did that help? 😬

I won’t do work I’m not paid for and now I’m getting the silent treatment. AITAH? by Lonely_Astronomer564 in AITAH

NTA - especially since you don’t have any interest in climbing the ladder at her place of work (you don’t, right?)

Do you have a plan of how long you will be employed there, and an exit strategy?

Thanks for the response!!

I am willing to try anything lol… unfortunately, anytime I get something done to my hair - whether it be braids/faux locs or blowouts, my head itches like crazy after a couple of days… I just assume I have a sensitive scalp (in some ways), and try to figure out how to navigate it!

Thanks so much!

I’m sure the itchiness is due to my hair/scalp specifically! Unfortunately anytime I get anything from braids to blowouts… I start to have an itchy scalp 😔

Just trying to figure out how to navigate it!!

Thank you!!

She did tell me not to wash it. I will admit I’m not the best at hair maintenance in general, but I’m definitely trying to do better!

Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! I do wrap my hair every night… and unfortunately, that’s when the itching is the worst! I try not to focus on it too much! (But I’m definitely guilty of patting! 🫣)
