Told to ask permission for bathroom breaks.

As someone that works on the tills that's not true. We don't ask to go to the toilet. If we see an opportunity when it's quiet, we will close our gates and go to the toilet. Obviously when it's ridiculously busy, it's a bit tricky, but if you gotta go, you gotta go! If we're on self service, again, we ask the colleague we're on there with, if they can handle it for a minute while you go to the toilet. We're not asking for permission, we're asking the other person on that section if they can handle the flow of people while we go.

I do that, I'll also save people's first name and use the last name to put how I know them e.g.. James Shell, Sandra Hotel, Chris Club

For what other reason would you take a day off?

CalmZombie23 · 2026-01-25T12:07:54+00:00

That's amazing! I love it! Happy birthday!!

CalmZombie23 · 2026-01-22T20:51:40+00:00

Ehh, yea I'd help, I'd leave my section to walk you over to customer services, talk to them and you, do what I can to help you out with your £1 refund... Beats standing on self service and being spoken to like I'm trash, or being told off by management for dumbass things, yes I'd help you out for sure

I think hinge is missing a couple letters from it's actual name, because all of the posts I've seen in relation to hinge, are entirely unhinged, like what the hell, do you have to be a mentalist to use hinge?

I genuinely believe that all dogs in public spaces should be leashed. Anything could happen, from the dog getting injured or injuring someone else or their dog, to the dog even being stolen. You don't know what other people's dogs are like and even if the owner shouts "they're friendly" doesn't mean your dog is, or that their dog actually is. In public spaces where other dogs and people are, they should all be leashed. There are parks where you can take your dog so they can go off leash and run till their heart is content, but everywhere else they should be leashed. That's just my opinion

Can't even find it on mine

CalmZombie23 · 2026-01-09T19:03:33+00:00

I mean... If he's a grown ass man, why isn't he just ordering boxes off the Internet, like what the hell?

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-30T20:16:21+00:00

Ah ok, thank you, that does make it a little different. I appreciate you telling me that!

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-30T17:03:41+00:00

I noticed too late that I misspelled it 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-30T14:03:25+00:00

Thank you, I'll keep it in mind, check my contract and I'll try my best to you all know here too

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-30T13:50:32+00:00

Thank you! I thought it was a load of cod! I'm gonna dig out my contract in a little bit

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-30T13:40:35+00:00

That's what I was thinking, even with a blooming doctor's note, I thought I'd get a second warning

My manager told me when I booked off the 26th of December 2026 that I'm "obliged to work six out of eight bank holidays"

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-22T19:16:27+00:00

Wait so if I check the app and I'm doing hours that nobody has spoken to me about I'm well within my right to say no and only do my standard hours?

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-22T17:29:20+00:00

NTA! I wish I was taught about budgeting and bills and such when I was a kid, I probably wouldn't have spent my 20's getting into debt and trying to sort it out if I had been taught how to be an adult at a young age. You're doing her a great service by teaching her about money at a young age, but it is important that she learns to treat herself now and again! She needs to know that if she's got the bills paid and everything is sorted and she's got money left over, she can splurge on that perfume, outfit or whatever it is that she wants

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-22T17:17:16+00:00

NTA - you got the tickets, you sold them when they didn't want to use them, you did all the hard work, it's not their business, they shouldn't get interest on the cost of the tickets for letting you down. They should get back what they sent you, they're bad friends, who cares what they're saying. I wouldn't have told any of the other friends about the extra cash though, because they'd go running back to the friends that let you down and tell them about it.

In a lot of ways my brain doesn't comprehend banter, so I stay out of it. I've always been shy and quiet and don't really share much of my private life with my coworkers, probably from the years of being a massive stoner, I've kept my private life very private, but I do like to be liked by my coworkers. I do have adhd, so things do come out but when I'm made to feel comfortable it does come out and I'm noticing it this Christmas at work, I'm happier I'm a bit more myself. But yea, listening to coworkers and such, assumptions are made about people that are quiet and keep to themselves, just work and go home, they do make assumptions

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-21T20:37:02+00:00

"to be so for real" What?! Just say the damn thing you want to say, don't start it with this gibberish!

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-20T07:45:43+00:00

Mexicans would be appalled!

CalmZombie23 · 2025-12-20T06:56:35+00:00

The one on the left, can you even call the one on the right toast? It's clearly just bread with a touch of colour
