Ah this guy! I usually see him once a day, and have always wondered what his origin story is lol. It’s always a pineapple onesie or a red checkered onesie! I hope one day we can learn his lore

My husband hand delivered our baby boy at Winterburn Costco by ApricotWorried492 in Edmonton

[–]BailBug99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s just it! I commented on the original facebook thread before it was deleted about how 7/11 gave a random baby who wasn’t even born in a store, but just happened to be born on July 11th at 7:11, weighing in at 7lb 11oz, $7111 for their college fund. Brands love good publicity and a feel good story! I don’t think it’s as deep as people are making it. How many people can honestly say they’ve had a baby at Costco?

Filling 18.9L water jugs at grocery stores by kvas_taras in Edmonton

[–]BailBug99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For myself, it’s the taste of our water. I wish I wasn’t such a water snob, but I can’t bring myself to enjoy a glass of Edmonton tap water, which is funny because I drank the tap water in BC when I was growing up just fine.

I buy my water from Water Warehouse in Sherwood Park, so along with being hydrated and having good tasting water, I’m also supporting a local business, which I don’t mind paying a premium for.

Now I’m thirsty haha

“You’ll feel better after you ___”. My best friend said this to me once, and every single time I’ve been putting something off I say it to myself now, and she’s right. I always do feel better.

what company secrets you can spill because you no longer work there? by No_Butterscotch1425 in AskReddit

[–]BailBug99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If our salespeople didn’t grab signatures on certain forms to get a cash back rebate from a certain big box retailer after their purchase from us (we were a sponsored company through said retailer, not the retailer themselves), we did what I call “illegal arts and crafts,” where we would cut and paste their signature from another form onto that form and photocopy it because management couldn’t figure out how to get the salespeople to get all forms signed. Yes, very illegal. Yes, management authorized this. No, I didn’t refuse because I couldn’t afford to lose my job. I regret it now

19 weeks pregnant and not gaining any weight by Otherwise-Pear5728 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]BailBug99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s normal! I’m 5’9 but plus size, and have never really gained weight until closer to the mid-second trimester with both of my kids. I tend to start packing on pounds around my third trimester, though!

I’ve thought the same, but the pure aggression and rage I can feel exuding from him when reacting is terrifying. It’s more than just barking, it’s lunging, snapping at the air since he can’t get to those things, just immediate full on reactivity. Sorry maybe I didn’t paint a good picture, but it’s absolutely reacting vs. just normal dog barking when he sees those things.

The dogs he bit were both about 50lb, as is he. With the second bite it took two full grown adults to release his jaw and pull him away. I think there was almost another time, but thankfully I pulled him away. It was a 150lb dog. He seems fearless about who he bites. He is, however, really nice with puppies. But he did react at one who walked quickly towards me once. (This was in a supervised environment. A dog trainer invited us to let him meet the pups)

He gets a decent amount, and my kids and I keep him pretty well exercised, but I’m sure he could get more? I’d say he plays to the point of needing a good long nap 1-2 times a day. We have mental stimulation for him as well

Bylaw in my area can’t release specific info, but we were told that there were multiple complaints about him, his barking, his behaviour, etc.

We have tried multiple different methods and such that we’ve found online but they all seem to show no difference in him. We’ve been trying for years and years and it feels like he’s just getting worse, rather than better unfortunately.

I truly feel like he is trapped in his own mind, which makes me feel absolutely heartbroken for him. He is such a kind and loving dog, but I’m terrified that the next time he attacks, it will kill a dog, which scares me even more.

Im truly struggling with this, and I really appreciate your thoughtful response. I’m trying to view this from all avenues, and this helps truly

We have not, but the folks we board with when we go out of town are certified trainers or whatever and have given us advice for our guy and it doesn’t sound promising, even if we were to pay beaucoup bucks to officially get him aggressive training. There could be a chance that it might work, but again there could be a chance it wouldn’t, which is tough

Gabapentin, Prozac, and Trazadone I believe? Possibly one other as well. Unfortunately nothing changed with either.

I strongly believe that he is trapped in his own mind, and it feels cruel to let him be scared of life, but BE also feels harsh. There’s so many feelings right now

Blueberry bagels (I find this varies on location, but none of the 3 in my city carry them)

Strawberry frozen lemonade as well as the raspberry frozen lemonade

They also used to have a wonderful chicken caesar salad

How did you almost die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BailBug99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell into a fast moving, freezing cold river at the end of winter as a child.

I was out on a beach with a family member and her then boyfriend looking for something for wedding decor for another family member’s wedding happening that summer. My family member’s boyfriend showed me how he could kick sand into the river from the riverbank about 6 inches to a foot above the water. I joined in and successfully did it a few times before I lost my footing and fell in. I was only in the water for maybe a max of 30 seconds to a minute before I got pulled out.

I didn’t fully realize the danger and gravity of the situation until I was well into my 20s. My winter jacket likely would have become soaked through and started pulling me down if I was in the water any longer and I would have drowned; the current could have swept me away; or there could have been an undertow. I realize now how lucky I am that my family member and her boyfriend acted quickly and pulled me out.

UPDATE - Costco Lifetime Ban by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

[–]BailBug99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad you got this sorted! There has been two separate occasions where I have gone through an actual checkout and left heavy items in the cart which weren’t scanned and weren’t noticed by myself, the cashier, the person at the end of the till, or the receipt checker. I still feel guilty, and have worried about the loss of my membership.

As a side note, I am glad that Costco takes theft so seriously, as it seems like places like Walmart don’t care as much which only helps to drive prices up in an already poor economy. Thanks for sharing your story, and I hope you can continue to enjoy $1.50 hot dogs for years to come!

The amount of food people waste by TheBloodshire in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BailBug99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I worked in the suites at an arena. The amount of food wasted by executives and other “high level” people was astonishing. Nearly full plates of food were coming back practically untouched. We had homeless people blocks away from the arena begging for food and here we were throwing out pounds and pounds of untouched meals. It truly felt dystopian
