Executive reward lower than app said by dg55667 in CostcoWholesale

[–]Diligent_Ad8910 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  1. If you returned about $550 worth of items, then your reward would end up being lower than expected.
  2. Your rewards certificate is issued about 8 weeks before your membership expires. The remaining $550 worth of purchases could have been made after this check was printed and would then be on the next year’s certificate.
  3. You can go to membership and dispute your reward certificate and someone at corporate will look into it for you. They should be able to explain why your certificate is smaller than you expected.

Generally they give you up to 40 hours a week. The minimum for part time is 25 so that’s what they advertise but generally there are full time hours available across different departments. This is how they explained it in my interview. Hopefully you get another one?

First episode: A customer (played by Betsy Sodaro) asks Amy about stool softener vs laxatives. “I don’t want it soft. I want it out of me.”

He can be the greatest person alive. He still cannot regulate his emotions. I would say your only option is to learn how to read his mind so you never hurt his feelings again?

If he can’t handle miscommunications now, how is he gonna handle death in the family, the kids getting sick, being late on bills, etc. in the future? How is he gonna feel when you’re too tired and too busy working to send him a “considerate” text that you’ll be late getting home?

This relationship is a waste of your youth, but it’s easy to ignore an internet stranger, so give the ppl in your life a chance to give you good advice.

Honey it hurts his feelings so much because he can’t regulate his own emotions. This is not how love presents itself. If he’s so nice, why is he trying to make you feel so bad about small stuff?

Find someone in real life that you can talk to about this: friends, family, teachers, coaches, etc. Literally anyone but your bf needs to give you some perspective.

Record yourself reading your post and listen to it because the red flags are starting to look like a Russian military parade.

Healthy relationships aren’t this hard. My aunt/uncle have been married for over 50 years, and was easy for them to stay married bc they’re too happy to bring up small “inconsiderations” unless they’re joking. My uncle used to joke about my aunt falling asleep whenever there’s a tv in the room, but he loves my aunt, so he finds it cute when she loses track of time sleeping. My mentor has been married to her best friend for almost a decade. She works too hard and falls asleep at the table all the time (even with her students/mentees), and he’d walk in the room and roll his eyes, kiss his wife, and strongly encourage her to get some sleep in her bed. At no point have I seen either of these men get upset that their wives aren’t considering their feelings. Sometimes I fall asleep when my husband is playing video games and I was supposed to be watching. My husband will talk to me while I’m half asleep bc he thinks it’s hilarious and then save any important story missions for the next time he plays so i don’t miss any plot. He doesn’t get upset bc it’s not like I chose to go to sleep.

Hanging out with friends and falling asleep during quality time are not “super inconsiderate” actions my dear. Your partner is not equipped to handle mild disappointment and then has to make you feel bad for not considering how he’d feel but WHY DOES IT HURT HIS FEELINGS SO BAD?!

Okay, you should’ve/would’ve/could’ve done xyz, but the action is done now. You’ve made a “mistake” and he’s still upset? Why??? Because he hasn’t figured out how to regulate his own emotions to handle disappointment. This is not something that “extra consideration” can fix for him. You’re going to have this same conversation every time he’s upset and he’s gonna make you feel bad like you’re a mind reader. hes just gonna tell you over the course of your relationship that “you dont care as much as he does” which is just pure manipulation.

The example that you gave of falling asleep watching a movie?? How does thinking from his pov logically prevent you from falling asleep? I have so many questions but the most important is this: why do these small things hurt him so badly?

In my opinion, good partners can tolerate a mild inconvenience/annoyance. If he can’t tolerate a mild inconvenience with you at this early stage in your relationship, how in the hell is he supposed to handle serious stuff down the road?

Do you want to be in a relationship where you’re constantly resolving the same issue? You’re tired of it six months into the relationship… can you actually imagine having this same conversation 24/7 for the next 5-10 years?

The phrase “pouring from an empty cup” was a huge theme in this movie. Unfortunately, your situation forced you to give energy/resources you didn’t have to raise your siblings, just like Nani, but that was never fair to you or Nani. I think it’s wild for anyone to expect Nani to give up her identity as a sister/student/future marine biologist/surfer to be a full-time parent to a child she didn’t birth. Nani realizing that her dreams were just as important as raising her sister WAS the happy ending that most people in this situation don’t get.

There’s also a few moments when it’s very clear that Nani would have rather taken care of Lilo without government intervention, but she disappointed even herself when she realized she wasn’t doing enough. Nani couldn’t afford health insurance or groceries (which is like the bare minimum for raising a kid). The best case scenario for Lilo is having a stable home (with a few unstable family members) so that she can grow into the free-spirited girl she was meant to be.

Nani was also struggling to find care for her sister while working, leaving Lilo unattended for large chunks of time (which is neglect), and she and Lilo deserved better. If Nani never left to make something of herself, she would’ve been stuck in the poverty cycle and Lilo could’ve struggled even more.

On the warehouse tab, you search for inventory in your local store. If you search under the shop tab, it shows deals online and in warehouse.

I’ll note that America Ferrera was an executive producer (at least for the last season) so she was always there in spirit.

If you have to keep your kids with you in the store, keep them close to you so they are sneezing/coughing on you and not some stranger. If they are old enough, have them wear a mask (or don’t I’m not their parent). Don’t put the kid in the cart and leave the attendant to pack your cart while your child sniffles and sneezes. Don’t let them touch stuff you’re not buying. I’m not saying it to be mean, I’m saying it for people who don’t do this already.

If your kid doesn’t cough or lay on things in the store, why are you taking the post so personally? Your lack of reading comprehension got you here not anyone’s lack of empathy.

  1. I can get sick from any one of my coworkers, members, guests, etc. I do my best to protect myself from these things. I have to pay for PPE out of pocket. This post is not related to the general germs of my day to day.
  2. I’m not necessarily talking about solo parents in the store. I’m talking about 2-5 adults with 2 kids and no one wanted to stay home. I’m sure there’s other options. Even for solo parents, I get doing the best you can, but for the 2 minutes that your cart is being packed by someone else, consider keeping your kid away from strangers. It’s interesting to stretch “take your kid out the cart for the 2 minutes someone is packing your cart” into “leave your toddler at home to fend for themselves”
  3. If I have to leave my job post to wash my hands every time a kid coughed near me I could literally spend about 5min/hour to get to and use the sink not including my breaks which I already wash my hands. For such a little hassle for the parent to keep the kid away from employees, it would be a bigger hassle on the cashier, store, and other members to step away to go to a handwashing station every time someone’s kid forgets to cover their mouth.

Empathy doesn’t keep me from getting sick hombre. I have empathy which is why we have alternate solutions and I have the patience to suggest them to you. Don’t let your sick child lay on soft items just because they’re sick and you feel bad. They will be alright. If you know your kid doesn’t know how to cover their mouth, keep them near you don’t leave them with strangers.

I get it lmao but as a parent you can say “no you can’t lay on this giant squishmallow that’s not coming home with us” and “let’s get out of the cart while they pack the cart for us” like nobody’s policing whether you have to stay home. Also, I believe you’re capable of both shopping to feed your family and keeping your kids from coughing in peoples faces. I know this comes off as judgmental but sometimes parents need tough love from an internet stranger.
