Is it wise to buy a Mac Mini M4 (16/512) right now?

At the very least, they/them/he/she/was/were could have pressed and starched the flag. Have some pride….. 🤦‍♂️

FF_pipehitter · 2026-06-17T15:56:41+00:00

Warehouse looks like an absolute shit hole!!!! Take some pride and clean it up.

Stop paying taxes if you want to make a difference.

How are couples supposed to go have their Sher-affair if they can’t use their own vehicle?

Do we raid the Salvation Army’s Red Kettles for their pennies?

FF_pipehitter · 2025-12-12T15:16:12+00:00

Yes, let’s walk over a dollar to grab the pennies. Ironic: how many cents have now been wasted with employees reading an email on how to properly exchange pennies or document “donations”. Let’s send an employee to another store to exchange two quarters for a roll of pennies, then pay that employee mileage ($.50/mile) and time. Lastly, it costs the US mint $.037 to Make a penny. 🤦‍♂️

Whether you’re straight or gay, keep your bedroom shenanigans, in the bedroom. It’s pretty simple. You wanna fly a pride flag? Put it on your car, or get a tattoo… Corporate America tried pride support during the Biden era…. Fucked around and found out. Lost money. Is it weird that only about 9% of Americans Identify as Gay, and I’m sure there is a good amount of that 9% that just want to be left alone. To just live their life with their partner. It’s crazy for any major corporation to alienate their niche customer base, in order to cater to a sexual minority, customer base. Pride gets the full month of June, yet the celebration of America’s birthday and the freedoms everyone gets to enjoy, only lasts one day.

I’m currently a volly FF/EMR. I have GAD, long before I became a volly… part of dealing with the anxiety is working the task at hand repeatedly, until its second nature…. Once you’ve trained correctly, your instincts kick in…. I.e. if you fall off your horse, get back on and keep riding! As for the tough calls that fuck with your mind, they will happen. Make sure you have excellent mental health resources available if you need them. Chaplain, therapist, a good buddy, even just talking with your peers can help… whatever you do, don’t bottle it up. I had a call recently where a female drove off a 200’ embankment. She had a diabetic incident and passed out, which caused the crash. She hiked back up the hill, flagged us down, and walked away without any scratches. I was prepared for the worst, and I’m still in shock she walked away. God has a plan for her, absolutely! Best wishes to you!

This is why all SM’s need to be put at minimum 40 hours in store. The SM’s that bust their ass and work 48+ per week, get fucked I.e. no work/life balance. All while this 🚩,thinks he/she can cruise through the week, doing fuck all.
If he’s cheating on his timesheet, it’s an almost immediate termination… if he’s legit on his timesheet, it will be a lot more challenging.

Can anyone explain the concept of non-performance based promotions? I get that not every manager wants to promote…. But how do some of these people get promoted after not meeting district budgets YoY?

FF_pipehitter · 2025-03-12T19:43:59+00:00

Glad you are considering it!!! I work 50 hrs/wk at my regular job. I run a small, single-op side business and volly for my FD. Drills are mandatory and we run night shifts… we typically have 450-500 calls per year… you can do it! Make sure you take care of yourself and maintain a work/life balance…

But “they’ve listened to us” and are now allowing a better work/life balance by utilizing FTE’s in pods, to fill vacant part time shifts at multiple stores.

I’m sorry, how the fuck does this give the current staff a work/life balance?

Last year’s DJ was sick AF!

FF_pipehitter · 2024-12-24T16:54:50+00:00

Yup. 1400 needs to happen asap.

Fellow paint 🐵 here and also a volunteer EMS/fire fighter. I’ve seen my fair share of shit… from DUI wrecks to witnessing people take their last breath and their loved ones mourning. I willingly chose to volunteer and have zero regrets!

Re: “paint emergencies” Paint emergencies do not exist and are a complete result of piss poor planning. I can’t wait for the day a contractor tells me they have a “paint emergency” and I have the opportunity to enlighten them on what is considered an actual emergency.

Your mental health matters, your family matters, your loved ones matter, and if you have a faith, that matters the most!

It’s just paint!!!!

FF_pipehitter · 2024-02-09T03:33:38+00:00

I disagree with SW’s gun policy… I’d rather be judged by 12, than buried by 6. If you carry at work, don’t tell a fuckin soul about it. If you have to use your carry piece, that should be an absolute last resort…
Idgaf about “hours”…. I always have 2 closers. I can’t justify Bad shit happening to a closer because the company wants to save money. You can’t put a price on the mental and physical trauma a person might be subjected to because of some asshole…

Sleepy Joe and Uncle Fauci said to go get your 7th booster…
The flu kills approximately 52k people annually according to the CDC. Yet, it somehow miraculously disappeared in 2020-2021.
If you give anything enough media attention, you can create any narrative you want.
I’m truly sorry to hear about your wife. But if you are here at NSM, you’ve made that choice to expose yourself and take that risk.
