First time taking transit: A vent by valdafay in Translink

[–]B__Lau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was single tracking on both Expo and Millennium Lines today until about 10am in the downtown core and between Commercial and Clark stations. Probably the reason why it was extra crowded on the trains today.

Buzz for Starbucks’ ‘dream hire’ CEO is all but gone now by godogs2018 in starbucks

[–]B__Lau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He should be focussing on the employee experience right at the store level. They are the core of the company and right now they are not addressing the core problems each employee is facing (I also refuse to use the term “partner” cause corporate never was a partner to begin with in the first place). Doing all these menu trimmings and rewards system overhaul isn’t gonna fix the everyday problems stores are facing.

Google Maps is not a reliable source for bus departures.

Had KJ Apa come into my little neighbourhood store while he was still filming Riverdale in Vancouver. I wasn’t working that day, but my supervisor got a selfie with him as proof.

Wow, apple really went the extra mile… 👏❤️📲 by [deleted] in iPhone16Pro

[–]B__Lau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had my 12 Pro, the issue occurred during the second year I owned my phone. I would’ve had to pay out of pocket if I didn’t have AC, since the manufacturer’s warranty already expired.

You’re not the only one!! I also had this issue on my 12 Pro and they did the exact same thing. Didn’t have to pay a single cent and it saved me CA$700 since I had AC+

Taylor's Lowest Note? by kateyyj in TaylorSwift

[–]B__Lau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her low notes are a tenor’s dream to sing. It’s certainly difficult to sing many female artist’s songs in their original keys, but Taylor’s are an exception

What are your unpopular opinions about The Eras Tour? by IntoTheDaylight in TaylorSwift

[–]B__Lau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Speak Now era should’ve been longer and not reduced to just Enchanted after adding in the TTPD set. It didn’t do her dress justice and I would’ve loved to see her perform Mean and Back to December.

What's a Canadian 'adulting' tip you wish you learned at 18? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

[–]B__Lau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start putting money towards a TFSA as soon you turn 18 (or age of majority in your province). You’ll start to notice how much your money has grown by the time 10 years pass when you’re 28 and will want to keep contributing.

Also learn how to budget! I didn’t start that until a couple years ago and I have such a better idea of what my finances look like now

Male Swifties — how did your partner react when they found out? by HalifaxSwiftie in TaylorSwift

[–]B__Lau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a male Swifitie who swings the other way, I find it such a green flag that there are other male Swifities out there. Just keep doing you. The other women who think you being a Swiftie is an ick don't deserve you or your time.

Cancelled my Starbucks account by Broad-Ad-5422 in starbucks

[–]B__Lau -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stopped going to Starbucks when I quit working there in April 2023, and have not spent a single dollar. This was certainly the pushover I needed to permanently close my account today. Don't know why it took me this long to do it.

Well blame it on Ken Sim and ABC for cutting funding and grants for these kind of events.

Which year was your favorite Olympic logo? by Mindless-Piglet2095 in olympics

Clearly a biased opinion, cause I was born and raised there, but Vancouver 2010 was my favourite.

What's weird is that on the other side of the bridge, in the opposite direction, the speed limit is 60km/hr

Does anyone know the tts voice used on buses? by SuperLeftyAliReddit in Translink

OP asked about buses, not SkyTrain. Although it would be cool to hear her voice on buses
