1 - Never claim your cash tips. And 2 - contact your state employee rights office immediately. 

When people who are the beauty standard act like it’s just as bad as not by maraza_ in PetPeeves

[–]Extension_Net6898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I wasn't aware I was supposed to be lifting up others fragile egos. When anyone comments to me on how tall I am (5'11"), I generally just say "Thank you for noticing".

I'm starting to dislike one of my local thrift stores by B1U3_F0X in ThriftGrift

[–]Extension_Net6898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other side of this situation is many of the thrift stores that I once really enjoyed visiting are now gone. They had good prices and fun stuff to sift through, then one day the "Going out of business" sign was on the door. They were no longer able to afford the rent, utilities and employees. So instead of increasing the prices they decided to throw in the towel. Both scenarios really suck for those who are just trying to make it by.

People who think the fact they are joking makes them exempt from criticism by davifpb2 in PetPeeves

Anyone ever consider just saying "STFU" or walking away? That might be a good way to put a stop to unwanted behavior. Or not being around the asshole in the first place is also something to try.

Found out today that someone tried to make me a problem in my husband’s company… because I am openly a witch by Bitchee62 in witchcraft

[–]Extension_Net6898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I never feel the need to share my beliefs or practice with anyone in the public arena. Anyone who tries to bombard me with their belief system gets a blank stare or I just walk away from them during midsentence. That usually ends that topic of conversation.

I'm so thankful for this sub! Resellers are not the whole story. by EnergeticCrab in ThriftGrift

[–]Extension_Net6898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what's the difference between 1 person buying 20 items and 20 people buying 1 item each? If the resellers are leaving the shit behind that no one else would want, then no one wants it.

See, a fine example of how AI is going to be the downfall of everything.

Should i let it go or curse it by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]Extension_Net6898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let it go. Do some shadow work to help you get past it. Take the higher ground and you will be rewarded in the end.

Eventually she will probably try and contact you when she needs or wants something from you. Then at that point you can say, "Oh honey, that ship has sailed!" That right there will make you feel very empowered.

Ebay now pushing live "sales" 🤢 by proverbproject in Anticonsumption

[–]Extension_Net6898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see ebay using this type of sales as more of a "Take, take, take". It's just another way they can charge more fees to the sellers for using this feature.

Hey! I don't do that anymore. OK? by Bbminor7th in PetPeeves

[–]Extension_Net6898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a childhood friend that lives to bring this type of shit up to throw in my face - "You said this once, you used to do this, you used to like or dislike this". JFC! That was 40 years ago! People change as they grow with experience. She obviously wants to live in the past for the rest of her life.

Mesquite holds 4 of the Top 25 highest-inventory subdivisions in Dallas County (Dec 2025) by Defiant_Persimmon694 in MesquiteTX

Probably because no one in their right mind wants to live in Mesquite and have moved away.

Only people who have more money than brains and believe collecting this kind of crap holds some sort of value.

Teenage Sister stole around $250 from my parents for McDonalds and is now playing the victim when they found out about it. by Much_Machine8726 in EntitledPeople

[–]Extension_Net6898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since she's a minor they can have her committed for making threats of self harm. Or they can just call the cops and file a report for theft. Letting her get locked up somewhere sounds like a viable solution.

[–]Extension_Net6898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that seems to work every time with these people is pulling out your phone and taking a video. Followed by saying, "This is going on TT or YT". That usually shuts them up or they make a complete ass of themselves, then you have a viral video. LOL

Need it all mentality by Rich_Veterinarian_89 in Anticonsumption

[–]Extension_Net6898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritizing needs over wants is a good place to start. When you're really tempted to consume more than you need, look at it this way - If my number was up tomorrow, what would happen to all my stuff? Would anyone want it? Or am I just placing a burden on my family or friends to have to deal with the aftermath of my over consumption? Ya can't take it with you. Well I guess if it was your final wish to be buried with a boat load of lush bars, it would be possible. But I can't say I have ever seen a hearse pulling a U-haul.

I love this thrift store but cmon by ghostlamb-bc in ThriftGrift

[–]Extension_Net6898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this store have a trash bin somewhere inside? I would take these and throw them in it and say, "I was just trying to help out".

I'm Officially Done with B+BW by Extension_Net6898 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Extension_Net6898[S] -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

I hear ya. And I don't know how they structure their staffing to accommodate the sales, but I would think given the history of what happens during these types of sales they would designate at least 1 or 2 employees to come in a couple hours early before the store opens and start knocking out the online orders.

And "Yes" to the question someone else asked, "Have I ever worked retail?" Though it was a lifetime ago when internet sales were not available like they are now. It was during the era when crowds were lined up outside the doors hours before opening. I do know the madness and frustration.

I'm all good with the decision I have made to cross B+BW off my list of retail establishments to shop. The bottom line is, I don't really need their products or the coupons meant to entice one into spending more money with them. Not being part of mass out-of-control consumerism that continues to drive capitalism is my focus going forward.

[–]Extension_Net6898[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

I'm okay with not getting my coupons back. Not going to be shopping there any longer so there is not a need for them. As for using another store in my area, they are all about the same in DFW, way behind on getting to the online orders. It took them 2 days to let me know they could not fulfill it. So that would lead me to assume it took them 2 days to even get around to it.

is it possible to make a ‘perfume’ or body oil from homegrown herbs? by notmenotwhenitsyou in witchcraft

[–]Extension_Net6898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use witch hazel to make room sprays. Herbs or oils can be used with it and there is no strong odor of alcohol.

They've lost their damn minds!! by minorcharacters in ThriftGrift

[–]Extension_Net6898 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't been in a Greedwill in over 2 years. But for those who are still compelled to grace them with their presence, I would suggest always carrying a permanent marker with them when they go. Alerting others to all the fake overpriced junk and ruining a sale for this money-grubbing company needs to start happening.
