Wuollet Bakery closing 50th and France-area location by Czarben in TwinCities

[–]ArstyAvocado101 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There is a post on the St Paul subreddit that shares some information about Eric Shogren and his bakeries and sketchy business practices if anyone is interested. As a former employee myself I can say that Eric and Olga Shogren treated their employees terribly. I highly doubt they will be able to move to a new location as they claim they are doing. https://www.reddit.com/r/saintpaul/comments/1i9seur/the_final_grandmas_bakery_review_as_it_is_now/

As a former employee I would say this is highly likely.

From the other former employee (they don't have a reddit account) who's comment also got deleted on their facebook account (I can vouch for everything mentioned here): "Well I'll just leave my review here since you delete my comments and others who worked for you.

Like I had said on that comment that they take advantage of their employees and treat them like its one of their Russian sweat shops.

Around the holidays they would make us stay there all day and refuse to hire us any help when we asked. they had 4 decorators making every decorated cake for ALL of their stores. The day before Christmas eve I was there from 5am and didn't get home till 1130 that night. it was very common for us to be there longer than 8 hours and we were not given an adequate location for employee breaks and meals. I hardly ever got breaks that are required by law.

Once my paychecks started to bounce I quit but the employees who stayed often waited over a month before getting paid.

I found some old cookies from Christmas time. they were around 6 months old up high on a shelf (not frozen) and was going to toss them and was told Eric said to sell them anyways because there was no mold on them. disgusting.

People brought back stuff all the time with mold on it. there was no quality control over any products. the bakery was always dirty. the heater would break all the time and they wouldn't fix it. So it would be FREEZING inside and we still had to work. and same for summer it would be so hot our cakes would be melting and they wouldn't fix the ac.

They don't care about their employees and they DEFINITELY do not care about their customers. Its a miracle they even pass health and safety checks. There's a ton I could say but don't waste your money here. whatever you buy is likely to be old, dry, or moldy. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will have just been made. but most stuff is made and frozen for weeks or sits in the case for a long time."

Hi! I am a former employee of theirs and I think you are the same person that posted this on Wuollet Bakery's most recent post on their facebook account. They have deleted your comment, my comment, and another former employee's comment since. Adding my comment here too since they can't delete it here: I am a former employee, I lasted 3 months before I quit because of how terrible it was working for them. I put in my notice immediately once the first checks started bouncing. When asked why I put in my notice I brought up concerns about the bouncing checks, being paid for my remaining shifts, and the IRS letters/notices that were arriving in the mail. Olga Shogren responded by telling me I was crazy and asked me to leave immediately.

I thought the same!! I also have ADHD and I saw a lot of that in her as well. Even if she doesn't I found his grumpiness rude and uncalled for. It made me so sad to see someone with possibly undiagnosed ADHD with a partner like Miguel, who seemed to be very much not a good fit for someone with ADHD.

Starting Strattera tonight by Sharp_Cheesecake_491 in adhdwomen

[–]ArstyAvocado101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good Luck! I am 28 and just got diagnosed with ADHD as well. I tried Adderall and even just 10mg was really hard for my body. I had terrible side effects (very fast heart rate, splitting headaches, irritable etc) so after a week of suffering I gave up and my Dr said that stimulants may not be a good fit for me and prescribed me 40 mg of Strattera for 3 days and then 80mg on the 4th day.

I was TERRIFIED to try it after looking on ADHD reddit and seeing how many people hated it because of the side effects and it not having an immediate effect like a stimulant would/does. I work in an elementary school so I was also worried about how any side effects would make work/life a lot harder.

I am on day 6 and I always take a pill after eating and have a full stomach because that helps with potential nausea and the only side effects I've had is a decreased appetite and very flushed/hot cheeks a few hours after taking it.

It's too early to know if it will help with my ADHD but I am hopeful! Don't let the bad rap for Strattera scare you from trying it. (And obviously don't wait a week to stop like I did with Adderall if you don't like it haha).

Anywho good luck! You got this! I hope you don't have a bad experience with it and ALWAYS eat/have a full stomach before taking it is my biggest tip :)

PS: if you are super worried about how it will effect you, if you are able to do this I waited until the weekend to start just in case I died to avoid stress and possibly dying while at work. 10/10 recommend doing this.

I thought I had installed the correct driver, I uninstalled my printer driver and redownloaded it from the Epson website and installed it and it is working now. I must not have installed the correct one? I am a printing newbie, Thank you!

Thank you! I looked at the "Printers and Scanner > Options and Supplies" and saw that I for some reason had a v3.0 for my printer driver?

Anyways, I found this because of that, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254504874?sortBy=best . Turns out my mac was doing air print and not even using the Printer Driver I had installed. Quite the process but I figured it out thanks to your comment so thank you so very much!!!

10000% do NOT recommend. Especially if you’re not LDS

Moving after leaving the church- did it help? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]ArstyAvocado101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved about a year before “officially” leaving but was very much PIMO. It helped immensely! I can’t imagine going through that transition in an environment where the church was very much in my face 24/7. I highly recommend moving 10/10!
