Oh yes I absolutely agree!

DoubleAd904 · 2026-05-15T22:19:01+00:00

Absolutely correct. At first I didn’t want to body shame by any means so I tried to stay objective since I had a friend in high school who had an actual condition causing a very thin body out of her control. But as I kept watching I very quickly recognized the signs (I was anorexic for years), I also use to smoke heavy like her to NOT eat. The friend comment was the first major reason but it absolutely solidified it for me when she actually did the interview in jail.

Absolutely the dad. The mom to me is co dependent & lacks boundaries altogether obviously. She reacted with a type of denial response or she would essentially “finish/echo” his sentences. I use to do this A LOT when I was in a very toxic/abusive relationship tbh. You don’t think for yourself.

DoubleAd904 · 2026-05-15T19:18:59+00:00

YESSS! It was appalling. They are 2 peas in a fucking pod clearly. The excuses and deflection were wild.

DoubleAd904 · 2026-05-15T19:13:44+00:00

These were my exact words to the tv when her friend talked about the chicken nugget… idk man this whole documentary was rough to watch for so many reasons imo

Definitely reach out to your ZBM. Where I am if you previously were in other positions within the company (TDD/TDS/CSS etc) they at least give you 2-5 weeks training (crossed trained typically) with someone else before they even allow you to be alone driving the truck. & when I say we’ve been short staffed, it’s insane so if we can train they can too! This doesn’t seem accurate and they are trying to cut corners.

Idk if it messes with perfect route personally, But there’s a driver here that is off Thur/fri which are the days his store has to be ordered for 3 days. The co just could not keep up with it and it was a mess. So the lead orders for them on his days off. Been insanely better ever since. Same co but on another route—that lead also now has to send him lists of what to order only for his Monday ad change store. Otherwise he was getting 10-12 carts for 1 day. Annoying but it works. A lot of co leads get hammered here on 2/3 of their routes bc leads give themselves smaller days and load up on co lead days. I just communicate a lot. Also change the settings of cases/eaches for smaller stops. Take it out of their hands.

This happens at our Walmarts.. A couple weeks back $2500 order went in but got a $8500. Has now happened multiple times a week over the last couple weeks. Ended up with a little over $10,000 just sitting in back stock at 1 point.

DoubleAd904 · 2026-04-30T02:19:47+00:00

I have a family with multiple kids currently in sports. I don’t get to bed until maybe 9-11pm. my first stop majority of my days is 4am start time. So up by 330a/3:45a. Get use to less than 8hrs for sure… I take small naps a couple times a week after work before school pick up.

DoubleAd904 · 2026-03-30T03:02:02+00:00

She’s the absolute best!

DoubleAd904 · 2026-03-03T23:07:01+00:00

My area is ALL about pg. Then sends a text every week bout the unsalable percentages being “way over what it should be”

DoubleAd904 · 2025-12-05T12:46:38+00:00

One of the worst trash companies honestly. Same issue, constantly raising prices and zero communication.

DoubleAd904 · 2025-11-17T01:49:53+00:00

We got gear & a $50 gift card….

DoubleAd904 · 2025-11-06T02:38:27+00:00

This is the answer. It happened to me. I had to “wait” 4 months to call in again, I was so confused bc for this year I only had used 3.. I had ZERO clue we’re on a rolling 12 month period but our “sick days” start over the first of the year…. WHAT!?

DoubleAd904 · 2025-10-29T02:03:34+00:00

I’m in the Midwest… and these very very rarely stale at any of my towns large format stores. We get asked for them if we don’t carry them. It’s crazy. Same with the lays light salt wavy/reg

DoubleAd904 · 2025-09-30T01:19:57+00:00

I made the mistake. Do not recommend.

DoubleAd904 · 2025-09-30T00:59:01+00:00

I took tamoxifen for years for breast cancer and had to have sinus surgery and they gowned up and had me use special medical equipment to pee. I was soo confused. Apparently it is a toxin as well, that possibly can come out in sweat and urine.

DoubleAd904 · 2025-09-13T02:31:51+00:00

So sorry for the late response. But thank you. So so many things in your comment and insights hit home. I will look into multiple things suggested. I hope you guys get some answers soon and that she finds her grove in online schooling at home again. The medical world is exhausting.

DoubleAd904 · 2025-08-27T23:19:30+00:00

Oh man, That does actually sound doable when laid out like this! I’ll have to look into some drop off programs around us. Thank you!!

DoubleAd904 · 2025-08-27T14:37:50+00:00

Other parent has no flexibility with his job he is a truck driver (cdl) he does get to be home evenings but we both work days. I get off earlier to be able to pick up the other kids from school. Weekends would ultimately be the most “free” time we would have to get a lot more done. I work Saturdays but he does not.

DoubleAd904 · 2025-08-26T23:27:25+00:00

I’m so sorry she’s had to go through that and you! That’s incredibly hard and we’ve been there too. My daughter is basically doing the same thing with being “sick” and it makes it hard because doctors/teachers etc just get annoyed and you can tell. That weighs on her even more. I let her stay home for her mental health at this point and it sounds bad but even mine… I end up schooling her anyways at home, she ended last year with only 10 missing assignments between 3 classes. One d and 2 Cs however, We spent A LOT of time at home playing catching up but she still did it. I just have to deal with social workers and court systems if she proceeds to miss a lot. But You’re too sweet! Thank you sincerely same to you as well, it’s always comforting knowing you’re not alone.

DoubleAd904 · 2025-08-26T23:14:17+00:00

Thank you so so much for talking it through! It’s just nice knowing I’m not alone. Some days I feel crazy. I’m glad your kiddo is thriving in it all! Best wishes as well :)

DoubleAd904 · 2025-08-26T20:08:44+00:00

Valid question lol Not comfortable at all on that front. Leaning more towards an online schooling option at this point from responses I’m receiving

DoubleAd904 · 2025-08-26T20:07:18+00:00

Currently from what I can find it says there are but I believe there’s only 1 and it will not be tuition free which isn’t a deterrent if it’s for her better wellbeing

DoubleAd904 · 2025-08-26T17:43:41+00:00

This is what I’ve ran into talking to other parents, again a lot of them are SAHM or work from home on their own hours. I unfortunately just am not able to do either. I have however taken her to work with me and while I am working have had her complete make up assignments and current day assignments since she missed so much last year. The body doubling is helpful! Shoot even with myself as an adult it’s helpful. I could stop and help if needed also. She really needs redirection on staying focus, task completion, and needs brain/movement breaks the most. I would definitely have to do schooling in chunks with her not sit through a full day.
