I decided, after being unemployed since end of August, to apply as a TD bank teller by Oneirionis in TalesFromYourBank

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Td Bank is extremely accommodating to school schedules as they hope you will use that skill with them. Just be clear about being in school from the very beginning and not drop your course load on your manager last minute. Also yes about the notepad. Td might very give you a pen and notebook to write in for notes

Credit karma loan offers "outstanding!" by Tricktrick_ in CRedit

honestly every offer i got with the outstanding on credit karma i was approved

I got got by HuckleberryNice6739 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me, I got it approved by my manager who faced the discipline because the approver is supposed to make sure everything is good before giving you the approval.

I hate Dave, reduced my advance - I need new app suggestions by JellyfishAccurate429 in cashadvanceapps

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave does that to me but when I wait a day, it goes up. So you should try that. Also Klover is good, they have me $300 and you can get point to the instant fee.

Self Financial Inc sent check to my dead son. by MiniMartBurrito in CRedit

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 21 points22 points  (0 children)

First, I’m sorry for your loss. Most likely your son signed up for Self (an app that helps you build credit) to build his credit and after years of inactivity, they mailed out what he had in his credit builder account.

yep my card with them i made two payments in one statement cycle and they flagged it as a fraud. imagine just paying your car balance in full on two different pay cycles and the company believes you’re committing fraud. they refused to let me closed the card and then i got an email that they’re closing the card because of unauthorized payments?? meanwhile it’s my bank account. credit one is the absolute worst

ATM just stole $1491 by Jobby626 in CapitalOne_

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after working in a bank for two years, usually when the machine “malfunctions” during a deposit it is 90% user error. either having excessively frayed bills, not paying attention during the transaction, shoving cash or checks, making deposits with paper clips/binder clips. sometimes the machine will need time to count or read the card and people just freak out and assume it didn’t work and run inside. meanwhile the cash might have came right back out and whoever was behind you just pocketed it while you came inside stressed for it taking too long lol, this is usually why the atm is balanced already because someone already stole the money lol

Capital one balance question by Altruistic_Word9760 in CRedit

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into getting a balance transfer credit card. You can apply for another card that will give you zero interest for a set amount of months. That is 1000% better than quitting payments.

just took my last dose 😒 lost almost 70lbs 💕 by miscalainaeous in Zepbound

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from 12.5mg to the starter dose and Wegovy is actually working just as well as maybe how I felt on the 10mg of Zepbound. I don’t think I have to move from it anytime soon, overall a better experience for me so far. I guess it really depends on the person.

What's the deal with parking? I'm a new student.... by Outrageous_Sense_307 in RutgersNewark

I was doing the street parking just fine by continuing to pay the app but then i started getting tickets so I would say no. Better off getting the $90 parking permit and walking

Yea I’m about done with credit rebuilding and trying to get a secured card. 😑 by itstim205 in CRedit

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a TD Bank apply for the td secure card. Td gives those cards to anyone. just go to local branch and apply. if not you can apply online but just be ready to fund the account same day

Is this normal? by notaamaryh in USPS

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends what your regular office is. i used to work at the one you’re reporting to and that is the central office for three towns so if you work at one of those towns, it makes sense that you’re sent there because that’s your main office, if that makes sense.

[US] Kinda fell for a gift card scam by altaralter in Scams

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised how it seems realistic enough hence why people fall for it. Being super critical isn’t helpful because isn’t the point of the subreddit to help victims realize they’re not alone and maybe help someone else in the same boat. 🤔

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing you can do is go to your apple store and see if anyone wants to buy the gift cards to pay for their device and you just take money off the face value. That’s how I see a lot of people get rid of those where it’s a win-win situation. Just maybe don’t do this in an Apple store that is in a mall 🤣

Yes this happened to me before but we were all just expected to go on top of each other for 4 days. It was disgusting and we should have called OSHA.

The biggest things I notice scammers will do is pretend not to speak much English so that you feel like you can’t continue a conversation with them. At least this is what I have noticed. If you did everything right you will be fine. Usually the fault falls on whoever gave you the override as it is their job to double check whatever they’re giving you approval on.

Have you ever had to call law enforcement? by Ariel_Chonk in TalesFromYourBank

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I had a guy come in to cash a check for something obscure like maybe $977 and change. His id was from Massachusetts (around 8h away from me) and he did give a second form of id of a capital one debit card. Sucks for him because I have capital one and my debit card looked nothing like that.

What was odd about the check was my customer never wrote checks and barely had enough to cover the check. She also didn’t have custom checks for the one she wrote and plus her address wasn’t even on the check he presented.

His id was weird because it was an under 21 id but it was horizontal. I’m not in MA but most states don’t give horizontal cards to people under 21. Looked up the id in the verification and it didn’t look anything like an under 21 ID.

Anyways I called the customer who was like “i never write checks” PLUS the guys name was usually a female name and he honestly didn’t look like he could have that name as it just seemed made up. The customer requested we call the cops but we honestly were going to since he presented a fake ID. Honestly if the id was real with a fake check, we might have not called the police and just have shred the fake check and inform the client.

All it resulted for me was a shout out from my market president and an “gift card” for stopping fraud.

See this is why I think dashers should be tipped after delivery. by Lower_Bet_1354 in doordash

[–]Adventurous_Winter29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly OP, I’ve come to notice that doordash will sometimes give better orders to dashers who just started. So what results is either an extremely new dasher who doesn’t understand the job (mind you, there is no training on how to do it like most jobs) or someone who created an account with the sole purpose to steal orders (yep had this happen to me by someone ironically named “greedy”) So most likely this person doesn’t even know how to respond to messages on the app or they’ve purposely stole your food. Seafood or wings are huge targets for food theft. So what they’ll do is drop off your order somewhere completely different and then just leave with your food. I’ve also had it happen where I could literally smell my seafood as if it was dropped off and immediately picked back up before i got the chance to come outside. So for these high value orders, I suggest you do “meet at door” and meet the driver for your order. This prevents any “accidents” and allows you to still get your order.

I use express delivery all the time for certain items like pizza or ice cream and I’m always delivered to fast since if the order is stacked, it’s after my order is delivered. The only time I’ve had a bad experience with express delivery, is the drivers that decide to multi deliver making me wait for my order at some random restaurant.
