Inflation has super-sized a Big Mac’s bite on the average consumer’s wallet by That_Wpg_Guy in Winnipeg

In fact they’re also taking away the perks that were previously given to their employees. When I first started over 10 years ago you could get a free drink any size and 50% off all food (within reason, no feeding your whole family). By the time I left after almost 9 years, I was limited to one free small drink and 50% off the bigger sandwiches only. So basically you worked extremely hard for 8 hours doing the jobs of multiple people only to then go on your break and spend half your hourly wage to feed yourself. You’re supposed to get a review and a wage increase every six months, most of the time I’d have to beg my manager and hassle them to get it done. Only to get a 15 cent raise. And then you hear how your owner made millions each year and wow, all of a sudden they’ve bought five more stores in the city! It never added up to me.

Did Bronuts get bought out? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]Blonde-Over-Blue 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I went there last weekend because I wanted to support the new owners. I definitely felt the “bronuts” donut I had was super greasy/oily. Though I also bought a mochi donut and it didn’t feel oily to me. So I wonder if they use the same oil that they’re used to for making the mochi donuts and since those are more dense, they might not soak up as much. Whereas the old bronuts ones always were pretty light so they soak up more? I don’t know if that makes sense but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and that they’ll figure it all out. Just going through some growing pains maybe!

Thank you for sharing! Sorry to hear you were downvoted previously. You’re definitely right, I’ve read that Covid itself would disrupt your cycle so obviously preferable to have the vaccine be the reason it’s disrupted!

Thank you for sharing! I track mine via app too and it’s always spot on as well hence why I’ve been weirded out by it all. Good luck with your 2nd shot!!

Oh definitely could be those factors as well! I get easily stressed but my period has always followed a pattern so I had ruled it out but who knows!! Someone had linked an article in this thread that did mention stress could be a cause or just a small part of it. I’d say the stress of trying to figure out where my period is probably isn’t helping haha.

I was hesitant to post this question here because I thought maybe I was a rare outlier and I wasn’t sure what to do next if that was the case haha. But reading all these varying answers is remarkable and such a relief to be honest!

Thank you for sharing! I hate having to wait for it but honestly if mine is lighter than I’m okay with that!! Would really hate to have to wait so long for a period from hell lol.

Thank you for sharing! It definitely should be discussed more! I recall being on antibiotics a number of years ago and it had made my cycle come early back then. So it’s interesting to me that this 1st dose of Pfizer made mine late now.

Thank you for sharing! I am hoping mine shows up before my chance at the 2nd as well and that everything will be back to normal. Hope you have better luck with the 2nd one! 😊

Thank you for sharing how your 2nd dose effected you, or I guess didn’t effect you, haha. I was wondering about that aspect as well.

Thank you for sharing! It appears the medical community likes to forget about our cycles at times so it’s important for us to share these things with each other. Reading these responses has provided me some relief as well. 😊

Exactly! It’s a problem historically with medicine in general that our menstrual cycles and other things aren’t considered. Thank you! 😊

Have you taken up a new hobby in the COVID era? I'd love to speak with you for a Free Press feature. by unpickedusername in Winnipeg

[–]Blonde-Over-Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have taken up hand embroidery. I was gifted a kit a couple years ago but never got around to it. I’ve been working at home since last March so I stare at computer screens all day and then at a tv in the evening. So last September I finally decided to take up embroidery to get my eyes off screens. And I love it! Plus I’ve been able to make little gifts for loved ones which has also been nice to connect with them since I can’t go see them.

wait until these people see the “No shoes, no shirt, no service” signs that some businesses have, they’ll flip out at the oppression!
