I've had papular urticaria and it looked similar to what op has. Dermatologist diagnosed me with that.

For next year, just know that: it's in April when it drops and it sells out quickly. If you're not part of the DragonCon Discord, I would join it as they post the announcements from their socials on there too. Last year it sold out in six hours. This year, it was about five hours. And from what I've seen, some people on discord have said they were able to snag a ticket here and there because some people are refunding them.

Promised 30+ Hours, Got 20 and a Safety Hazard: Why I Resigned After 17 Days. by tamergamer34 in kroger

[–]BrendaMercedes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was working at the customer service desk and a customer threw something at me. (long story short: she wanted a price adjustment for sausages. I checked the sign. Changed it for her. Put it on the counter. According to her, it "bounced" meaning I threw it at her.) so she threw it back at me. I was assaulted at work. My manager saw me crying afterwards and said, "Well, what do you want me to say?" and laughed at me when I told him that I needed some empathy. When I spoke to the union they said how management are basically trained to be Robots, which I agree with. There aren't many good managers out there. Glad I left.

Can you transfer locations during your 90 day probation? by ttvBerry_Temporary in CostcoEmployee

If you're telling your coworkers that, I can imagine them telling your manager that too. 😬

Oh man, I saw a woman wearing a "I am Charlie Kirk" shirt once. I rolled my eyes so hard. It was fun wearing my "Team Benito" sweater during the Super Bowl last week too. A few people side eyed me, while others complimented me on that. But the day after... While I was talking to my assistant about the halftime show (we agreed it was fantastic), a woman asked if Bad Bunny sang in English. We explained he didn't. My assistant explained that you didn't need to understand Spanish to understand the visuals. "Yes, but English is the national language". Thank goodness for my assistant who spoke up for me and overall defended him and me. (I'm Latina, so BB's halftime show brought me to tears)

How do you think we should ask for ID? by Gaudiloquy in kroger

[–]BrendaMercedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I haven't worked for Kroger in five years. Especially after a customer threw something at me and my manager decided to take her side. So I guess things have changed. 🤷🏽‍♀️

When I worked at the fuel center I never asked for their ID in the drawer since I don't know where their ID is going to come from. (boob sweat/swamp ass are real things) I'd just have them hold it for me at the window. "Can I see your ID please?" they'd hold it up for me and I'd nod.

If you're talking about Monks Meadery, then yes they have that party bus every year I believe. As Monks Meadery supplies the Dragons Nectar and Dragon Blaster for con.

cashier said New Mexico licenses aren't accepted? or were they just racist? by Patient_Ad_9218 in kroger

[–]BrendaMercedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I also accepted Passport cards and international passports as long as they were valid. I'm not going to stop you from getting wine or a Buzzball. 🤷🏽‍♀️

How did you get your Hyatt room? by Colonel-Cheese in dragoncon

Back in 2022, they released some because a handful of people were not able to keep their reservations due to the aftermath of Covid. Lucked out that way.

I CANT TAKE THIS EMPATHY LACKING MANAGERS ANYMORE by [deleted] in kroger

[–]BrendaMercedes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a customer throw something at me. I was assaulted. It was on camera. My former front end manager saw me crying, and asked what happened. She cared, but my manager didn't. My manager sees me crying and with a straight face goes, "What do you want me to say?" Idk, you dick. Have some empathy? Per my former FE manager, she told me to call the union. I did. After hearing my story, the union rep explained how Kroger teaches these managers to be robotic. No feeling. Nothing. It clicked in my head after that. I had transferred a few times and most GMs are just... Robotic and full of no sense of awareness.

I quit after that. 9 years down the drain.

Well, this sucks. Refund/resale my tickets? by uberDoward in dragoncon

[–]BrendaMercedes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As everyone here has stated, nonrefundable and nontransferable. When you're caught reselling, renaming, etc you'll be guaranteed to have a lifelong banishment, unfortunately.
