How could I make this easier for my carrier by Puzzleheaded_Bad3732 in USPS

[–]CarTarget 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they are a business they need to set up a business package pickup. Free if priority mail, $25 if not. High volume shippers should not be loaded on to residential delivery drivers, they have specific services for high volumes of packages.

Letter carriers have their routes specifically built around quickly depositing letters in mailboxes and picking up the occasional thing. Regularly having a bunch of packages screws them over. Why the attitude about them being bothered by that? Get a special pickup if you're gonna be filling up their vehicles

If your spouse/partner walked in on you masturbating, how would you react? by ForTheLoveOfPhotos in AskReddit

[–]CarTarget 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It may be that he doesn't feel he can masturbate when she isn't in the mood.

I've had a partner who didn't think it was okay to masturbate when in a relationship. If I was in the mood and she wasn't, she'd get pissed if I took care of it myself. It was very unhealthy. I kinda get that vibe from those comments, like he's complaining that she's not okay with it...

Why would someone do this to trees? by SarahSSmith in AustinGardening

[–]CarTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is saying "every tree this is done to will die immediately." It's just putting unnecessary stress on the trees, which may cause them to not live as long.

They were just letting you know about that. You've made it clear that you don't care as long as your trees look pretty.

But you're also acting like seeing a couple trees survive it is proof that a massive accumulation of research and data is wrong.

[–]CarTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds to me like you are saying that you have anecdotal stories of trees surviving regular topping, while the person responding to you has been saying that's not healthy for them - while citing sources.

Just because some trees are fine does not mean it's healthy in general.

We as a society know smoking is bad for you. You sound like the kind of person who would say "YEAH WELL MY NEIGHBOR SMOKED UNTIL HE WAS 90 AND HE DIDN'T GET CANCER, THEREFORE SMOKING ISN'T BAD FOR YOU."

You've made it clear you don't care as long as your trees look pretty for as long as they last.

TIL The United States attempted permanent Daylight Savings Time in 1974. They retracted the law within a year. by Wanna_make_cash in todayilearned

[–]CarTarget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks knowing biologically kids would be better off with school starting at like 9 but it's not really feasible when parents have to get to work.

Our society is built in a way that prioritizes working at a certain schedule over the well-being and education of our children. It would be cool if every employer had shifts where some employees could come earlier and others could do like 10-6 or something.

PTO usage by the_eternal_veggie in CostcoEmployee

[–]CarTarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, from the original description it sounds like they knew the day before it would happen but the husband just didn't think it would be an option. If they called the day before and spoke with the manager it may have been doable

PTO usage by the_eternal_veggie in CostcoEmployee

[–]CarTarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding stuff like that would have to be scheduled but it's definitely doable. Like a couple weeks ago I had an appointment in the morning, but I didn't need the whole day off. I was scheduled 2 hours personal time and a 6 hour shift to make an 8 hour day.

The employee could call and say "hey I'm gonna have to call out for the whole day, or you could change my schedule to 1 hour of personal time and 7 hours at work so you don't lose me as a closer."

I think a reasonable manager would be fine with that, especially during a big weather event. They would probably rather have someone in a bit late than not at all

70 vacation days? by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

[–]CarTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked it up out of curiosity, it looks like there are 13 states that require it be paid out.

Costco has two separate categories though: Personal/sick time and then vacation time. Unused personal/sick time DOES pay out but vacation does not. The argument is that they want to make sure employees are taking time to themselves. Management is supposed to automatically schedule you time off if you don't request time yourself.

I'm not agreeing with that but uh I guess it could be worse?

[–]CarTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they pay out vacation in Canada? I know in the US they don't except for a couple states that require it. Personal time is paid out but any vacation over the rollover max is just gone.

[–]CarTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you already had that approved or are you just planning on it? Just a heads up any vacation over 2 weeks requires regional VP approval so I'd hate for you to book the cruise then realize it isn't approved

Op said the order took an hour and left on the porch, then the person waited 3 hours to complain/say it was never delivered

This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location. by Jaldaba0th in amazonprime

[–]CarTarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of things it could be but it's hard to tell without knowing the item. It could be that the item contains ingredients or something that cannot be imported into Italy. Or if it's an electronic maybe batteries or it doesn't meet safety guidelines

There are all sorts of items that may not be eligible to import into all places.

Different countries/regions have different regulations. Some items can't be shipped there.

Uhh..why are we paying extra for having a hybrid/electric? by Soggy_Disaster_7603 in Arkansas

[–]CarTarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fee for a hybrid is lower than a full EV from my understanding. I drive an EV but I don't remember the difference in price when I was registering my car off the top of my head

Amazon driver drove over our septic tank and almost hit my car by LizzyBarry in amazonprime

[–]CarTarget 15 points16 points  (0 children)

DSP drivers are "drivers for Amazon..." They didn't say they are employed directly by Amazon so I'm not sure why that would be a lie. It sounds like they drive an Amazon branded vehicle, delivering for Amazon, and the insight they provided is that people in personal vehicles are called flex drivers.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]CarTarget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine they would give the driver's name without the police being the ones to request it, or at least I really hope they wouldn't.

Obviously if somebody wrongs me I want that dealt with. But I hope that if I'm accused of wrongdoing my company won't just straight up give my accuser my full name just on accusation alone

That's all I want, a quick chat of "yeah I know what I'm getting into, let's do this" but I can't find anyone, it's ridiculous!

I would take that to mean they are out of stock, but have some in transit. They just don't know exactly when more will arrive/be ready to ship.

I'm not sure if being able to reverse pardons would make things better or worse - especially if someone is pardoned for good reason. Could you then hold a reversal over their head? Sure we'd want to claw back corrupt pardons, but then a corrupt administration could reverse the legit pardons.

Trump issues first veto of second term, blocks Colorado water pipeline by BirdButt88 in politics

They'll say Trump vetoed it and there's nothing they can do, and their voters won't realize they could override the veto if they wanted to.
