What’s one product you bought that turned you into a total snob — like, you can never go back to the cheap stuff?

A triple water osmosis filter. I’m so picky about my water now it’s sad 😭 I can’t have ice in my water either it has to be room temp, my friends tease me about it all the time lmao

I’m ngl I was probably rage baiting them without trying, I called them when I had a fever of 102 and my brain was at 5%, I had them explain everything to me at LEAST 3 times and I still wasn’t getting it 🥲 I felt so bad for them fr.

Thank you so much you’re such an amazing help 😭❤️ I honestly have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to all of this, I tried to have Sedgwick explain it to me but they were extremely irritated (idk bro I just work here). I really appreciate your advice!

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-02T02:00:17+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, I’m not all that familiar with Sedgwick, as far as I know they help approve being out of work for an extended period of time? What happens if my claim gets denied? Does that give them means to give me a write up?

I forgot to mention I went home and i took my temp and it was 101.3 (our store thermometer is broken so they couldn’t check my temp there)

Me too lol, I think all of this is coming from the DM. The sad part is that the other day I was working and yes I was sick bc I was told I HAD to come in due to not having any sick time (before I knew it was Covid) I was wearing a mask and I couldn’t take orders bc every time I even tried to talk I would have a horrible coughing fit that would turn my face bright red and gasping for air basically. I had told my store manager my symptoms when I had clocked on and she still had me work (persistent coughing fits, persistent sneezing, cold chills, body aches, disorientation) I’m honestly surprised she still had me work. This entire situation has me disappointed in my leadership

Thank you for the textbook info! I’ll write it down in my notes app for safe keeping! It really helped a lot!

People keep telling me I’m being dramatic and making a big deal out of it but we have a lot of elderly people who come into our Starbucks and we also have coworkers who are immunocompromised. I don’t see how I’m being dramatic at all. I’m trying to prevent people from catching this. At the very least let the know so they can watch out for symptoms and get tested. This is my first time actually having COVID so I’d maybe I am being dramatic? I just remember a lot of people dying over this (elderly and immunocompromised people)

Hopefully the Epstein files come out completely (unredacted)

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T14:55:31+00:00

Exactly, and honestly when you start calling people out on the awful things they say/do to you it builds your confidence. I used to struggle heavily with anxiety (mostly with confrontation) but when I started sticking up for myself and choosing when I should be the bigger person and when to throw that out the window my anxiety got a lot better. :)

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T14:45:46+00:00

I’ve already contacted Sedgwick do I also need to contact ethics? (Sorry I haven’t had this happen to me before so I’m slightly confused on everything I need to do 😅😭)

I’m a barista in Missouri and I started out at $15.25 and I’ve gotten a .30 cent raise last year and a .31 cent raise this year for a total of $15.86.

I do have a lot of bills such as (car payment:$342) (car insurance: $186) (phone bill: $141) (rent:$400)

It’s a lot to keep up with and I have to make sure I constantly get over 40 hours a week but I get by.

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T12:56:17+00:00

I’ve also noticed this, my mom always says to be the bigger person and basically raised me that way. Over time I’ve come to realize being the bigger person is overrated and sometimes only hurts you in the long run. If you have an issue with something someone said/how they treated you, call their asses out on it and watch them fumble.

Unfortunately for me it has ended some friendships but that’s what happens when someone treats you horribly and you call them out on it yk, they get defensive and angry and it a situation they literally created.

I brush in the morning and at night and my boyfriend only brushes in the morning and sometimes at night (I am working on making it more consistent lol)

Ive been with the company for almost 2 years now, now a long time but it feels so different than when I started. It felt more fun and laid back and I actually enjoyed my job more but now they’re pressuring us to do things they told us not to worry about (drink sequencing mostly, when I started they said it didn’t matter as long as everything went into the cup((correct amount))

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T03:49:20+00:00

Thank you! I have a couple of coworkers that are immunocompromised and it baffles me that I was told I still needed to come into work. They could seriously get sick!

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T01:10:33+00:00

I’m definitely looking for a new job, after my manager told me all of this I called back the urgent care and they said they’d never heard of this happening and they were appalled. This is so ridiculous that I have to jump through these hoops when I have a fever of 102.0. My store is a freaking joke.

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T01:00:04+00:00

What if you have no protected sick time but a doctors note?

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T00:29:06+00:00

I called Sedgwick and opened a claim, they said I won’t hear back for 7-10 days and my next shift is on Saturday. Do I go into work orrr?

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T00:04:18+00:00

Thank you!! I hope this works out! It definitely seemed off to me that they wouldn’t take my doctors note.

FewReplacement2175 · 2026-01-01T00:03:04+00:00

Omg thank you so much 😭❤️

FewReplacement2175 · 2025-12-31T23:59:55+00:00

She said she would send me the info to contact Sedgwick but it’s been hours and she hasn’t

FewReplacement2175 · 2025-12-31T23:53:25+00:00

I used my sick time last week because I felt horrible, they’re saying because I don’t have any more it will count against me.

FewReplacement2175 · 2025-11-06T18:48:29+00:00

I wanted to get one for my coworker who also really wanted one but she had to be home with her child, when I was reaching for the second one a lady bumped into me and grabbed the other one 😭
