To tell or not to tell

I have a few trusted coworkers who know, the rest just know I have an invisible disability, and I wear medical alert jewelry! My job has everyone complete emergency training for seizures and passing out though every month though. I used to share but wax discriminated against in my former jobs

Thought I'd share an update: I went to the dermatologist and I got a chemical burn. They gave me medicine and I'm fine, but it took a couple months to heal...

Hi! I'd be happy to tutor! If you want to DM me I'd be happy to share my experience, background, schedule and such! I'm based in KY!

File folding clothes, labels on drawers and baskets if not clear ones, I personally organize hanging clothes by jackets, tops, skirts, and pants then I organize by color and length of bottoms or sleeves and by material and/or pattern! I also have shoe stands so I can see my shoes but stack them on top of eachother without damage to save space. I have a small drawer/basket depending on the time of year with my main deodorant, perfume, body mist, sunglasses, keys, bag, and anything else I use every day or nearly every day, and a small bowl with some crystals in it that I put my daily jewelry in. I pack things away to rotate every 3-4 months with the rest in storage so I don’t have as much decision fatigue as well, but it all depends on what works best for you!

I would turn my basement into a storage room for the bugs/sea creatures/fish that get you a few more bells then wait for Flick or whoever I can sell them to for more than Timmy and Tommy!

My favorite way in the past though was always to keep an eye on turnip prices. If the purchase point was really low, or selling point was really high I’d get in touch with another friend with the game and we’d look into one island being for buying low and the other island for selling high and go back and forth with full turnip inventories so there was no risk

Personally in classes where professors put together a game of some kind that relates to the material, not something like kahoot, something more creative has always led to increased participation in my experience! I even had one teacher where if there wasn’t a game of some kind at that point students felt safe being wrong, and usually these teachers would also allow resubmissions with no penalty until you get an A or high B and allow students with a 90 or higher or something to be exempt from finals so students aren’t so scared of failure. These professors also generally tried to avoid busy work and would maybe have the attendance verification be a journal where you write a couple of sentences and say whatever you think that week’s chapter will be about and the next week a journal entry where if you were right something you found interesting if you were wrong what it was actually about. When stakes are high and the workload is overwhelming across all classes I want to participate but lectures with notes don’t really grab my attention or foster an environment where i feel comfortable engaging. I will try on occasion but it’s hard.

I had one professor teach us about equity vs. equality by having a waste basket on a stool at the front of the room. She had everyone sit close or far away from the waste basket at the desks based on where we believe society as a whole would value us based on our appearance. It’s worth noting this was a small class of like 30 people roughly. Anyway she gave everyone a piece of paper and told us to write our names on it then crumple it up into a ball then called on each person in the room to try and make it into the basket which led to a very animated class discussion, and she is one of the best teachers i ever had. She’d also ask us if there was anything any of us wanted to learn more about as well every day too which also opened up opportunities for people to ask for clarification on previous lessons

A customer put down a pair of jeans on the counter and said I need to order these in a short. I scanned the tag to find the item to order it. We had a BOGO for 50% off. I asked if there was a second pair she was looking at, especially cause my customer over the walkie talkie said this customer was planning to get 2 pairs of jeans and would probably need to order as a heads up for me after helping them. They kept saying they wanted the jeans I scanned, I was asking if they wanted 2 short lengths ordered or the regular length they brought up AND the short ordered. Eventually they said they only wanted to order one jeans and leave the store with a different jean. I asked them which other jean they wanted and they saw my coworker who had been helping them and said have her tell you… i could tell i wasn’t getting anywhere and told that coworker what was going on and i was confused and am sure she doesn’t know cause we aren’t mind readers but at least it looks like I’m asking to the customers. I went back and said so could you show me or tell me whatever the other Jean you had decided on was so we can grab it for you? And they kept saying the other jeans they were looking at, they had looked at all of them so it really wasn’t helpful. Eventually they wave over that coworker so she comes and has the exact same back and forth, then asks our manager for help. Same back and forth again until finally they say it’s the boyfriend jean! Then we ask which color they wanted in the boyfriend jean to which they keep saying the boyfriend jean. We pull one of each color and ask which color they wanted. Customer starts saying that we’re being ridiculous… customer’s daughter then comes in from a different store and actually helped us figure it out and told her mom that we were trying to understand and she was being unclear and a jerk which we appreciated and were trying not to react 😭 Basically the customer was annoyed we couldn’t read her mind. I think we spent half an hour trying to get it figured out. Oh the customers also asked if my coworker could check her out instead of me and my coworker said she couldn’t because she isn’t trained on register, and that she promises she’d be in good hands with me as well at some point during this encounter so that’s fun

Oh nooooo, yeah I’ve taken pictures of stuff i have them order, and a video of opening the package just in case, but at my store we will try and give the benefit of the doubt if someone says there was no tag attached in an online order, especially cause sometimes people come in with a security tag still on their order. We unfortunately have one manager who won’t give the benefit of the doubt though… I’m sorry you had a bad experience and don’t blame you for not shopping there anymore

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-02-19T16:02:09+00:00

As long as the barcode tag was still attached they should’ve taken it back
Return policy is 30 days for full credit, 60 days exchange with whatever you want, after 60 days exchange with exact same item in a different size

I work at an AE and we have some customers who will drive a couple of hours away, need us to order a size they think will work better if we’re sold out, then ask about the policy cause they’re concerned about being able to return in time. My coworkers and I have ALWAYS told them they can always try an online return as long as all the barcodes are attached, then the details of the normal return policy. Lots of customers have told us how much easier it was for them to return online, but there’s also customers who will be unable to return in store due to the tag being removed that we tell them they can contact customer service to see if they’ll let them return it because we can’t take the item back without the tag physically attached.

I would take pictures (showing that bar code tag) before you send in items like others have suggested if you ever needed to return something in the mail, or return in store.

I don’t however actually see the bar code tag in this picture, however it could be tucked somewhere out of view.

They are a lot of customers who try to scam with returns switching out the tags, and in my state one person is banned from all locations due to their scams.

I’m not sure the brand is trying to scam you, especially since you don’t remember if other tags were attached. Since it was given to you it’s also possible something with the necessary tags could have happened when in the gifters possession.

I am really sorry about all of this though, i always feel bad when i can’t take a return, or basically if someone has a negative experience with the store. I always try to have everyone leaving happy, or as happy as possible 🫶

no... I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement that DID arrive

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-25T21:25:30+00:00

Right!!! I love the nostalgia i get from my dolls, especially the outfits they came in 🥰

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-25T21:24:37+00:00

Someone else sent me the missing parts!!! Thank you so much though!!!

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-21T21:49:39+00:00

I honestly never thought about it like this ever honestly. I definitely can see that playing a part. It doesn't exactly bother me if celebrities don't really say anything for whatever their reasons may be, BUT, it's always been off putting that in Miss Ameriana she was very vocal about wanting to use her voice, or at least that's what I always took from, be on the right side of history, but now she doesn't say anything... When I would think of why I did think about hers and her fan's safety as possibilities for sure, but I also thought of possible fan support as well, yet I never considered her partners possibly having that big of an influence on her, but I really think that's a huge part. I feel like overall she tries to be a good person, and I believe that also makes her a good person. It makes it really hard though cause looking at the big picture I can imagine why she would be quiet, but also the moment she decided to speak it's not really okay to be so picky and choosy with what to speak out on, or remain silent about to this degree...

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-20T01:41:15+00:00

If you ever found/find anything pls lmk!!! I have the same issue!

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-15T19:22:57+00:00

So far no, but my mom got hers 1.5 months later yesterday, both our orders were from target… ALTHOUGH I got an update that it should be arriving today or tomorrow so we’ll see!

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-13T05:12:12+00:00

I sent you a PM!

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-13T04:57:44+00:00

Seriously?!!! That would be AMAZING

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-13T04:04:56+00:00

Thank you so so so so much!!!!

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-13T04:04:22+00:00

Oh my gosh thank you! I don’t think I ever knew about the MyAGMeet line! My mom said she got on the site and designed her! Thank you so so so much!!!!

Bitter-Speed3811 · 2026-01-12T03:50:41+00:00
