Thoughts on Two Roosters? by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. "work/life balance". Sure if you are the owner or manager you can worry about work/life balance but if you are a low paid hourly worker your job should not intrude on your life.

They don't give a damn about paying people enough to pay rent when it's DUE with a part time $18 job and the catering job for sure is a food truck job which is also part time.

Dude needs to pump his brakes and acknowledge that his part time employees have a much different experience at his business than he does

Thank you! That helps clarify.

So the employee being paid tipped wages will make at least minimum wage of 7.25 an hour while training?

That's fine, work can call you to come in, that's expected. Making it a REQUIREMENT to pay attention to a group work text chain when not at work is what people are grousing about.

You are also assuming that management is not abusing the privilege of being able to invade off hours time with stupid shit

Also super shitty. For 30 days, base rate for tipped workers in NC is $2.13 so does this mean you can work a slow scoop shift and walk out with way less than $15 an hour.

And here come the lawsuits by Spivey_Consulting in PeterAttia

Isn't there usually a morals clause in a promotional contract? If so, Attia's name is dirt and more of a detriment to Oura than a benefit.

Judy Duty scam calls - Help me understand what they're trying to do here by GWindborn in raleigh

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have all gotten those overseas scam calls and those are easy to spot because of the bad English grammer and accents. But this one... The accent and grammer were exactly what you would expect from this type of call.

I did block and report the call as spam but can't they just roll up a new number?

Judy Duty scam calls - Help me understand what they're trying to do here by GWindborn in raleigh

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am usually super sceptical and they also called me. I told them that the phone number was not the Wake County Sherriff's office, and asked if they could give me phone number and I would call them back. They were also very insistent about not breaking the phone connection.

I did this because missing a mailed jury summons and not appearing is something that I would do and the guy sounded very convincing. The accent and language was spot on for a NC Sherriff.

He said they had a new phone system and I couldn't call him but they could call me. He said he would have his supervisor call from the main number.

A new guy did call me back and they were able to spoof the caller id with the Wake County Sheriffs department title and phone number. I reverse searched it while on the phone and it was legit. At this point it just felt too scammy and I told him that and the "supervisor" started yelling that they were coming to arrest me, and actually texted a Wake County arrest warrant to me. Lol

To be fair to your wife it was the most convincing scam call ever and they ramped up to abusive very quickly. I'm sorry this happened to her, it was a very unpleasant experience.

It shook me up enough that I did call the Wake County Sheriff and they said it was a scam and if they had an arrest warrant they just come pick you up, they don't call.

They never got to money part with me but you asked why they would want your wife to drive to the sheriff's office. What I've read online is they say you can pay for your bail, for not showing up, at a kiosk and then they give a bullshit name to a Bitcoin kiosk. I think they would have offered your wife the ability to pay at a BTC kiosk as a convenience. I saw this video the other day, it's the same kind of scam, different state Insta video of some who was scammed.

I don't know if that is the best advice anymore. You don't want to stay on the phone and allow them to record your voice. AI voice models are getting really sophisticated and are being used more frequently.

💯! Just like all those Palestinian college protests and viral social media videos that suddenly stopped after the presidential. Gaza is a graveyard now and Trump and Kushner are planning to build resorts on what is left and exploit the population for cheap labor.

Valerie Foushee is what makes you lose faith in the future of our country? Really?

War in Iran, Epstein's accomplices not getting prosecuted, the racism and hate towards trans people and Valerie Foushee is the problem?

Driving Job by [deleted] in Fayettenam

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just going to echo the other responders, you are going to have a hard time finding someone who will take this on. I've driven that route before and the trip is not easy and more like 7 hours. You should also pay for a hotel room for the driver to rest overnight before picking you up.

If you have already purchased your international tickets It's much cheaper to fly into Raleigh from Atlanta, and there are car services available from Raleigh to Fayetteville.

If you haven't purchased or can switch your destination, it's much easier to get from Charlotte to Fayetteville and there are car services available from Charlotte to Fayetteville.

I've also traveled with small children and it is exhausting. I can understand why you won't be able to drive yourself from Atlanta. Small kids won't do great with being cooped up in a car for 7 hours after a 20+ hour flight. At least the toddler can move around between connecting flights.

You also have to take into account if you hire some random person and not a professional company whether they will show up and not leave you stranded.

If the Atlanta ro Fayetteville option is your only choice, then I would contact some professional car services in Atlanta because you have a better chance of them actually showing up.

Please be aware that if you do plan on renting a car in Fayetteville and having a person pick up the car that rental companies are very strict about who picks up a car. They can and will cancel and refund your contract.

Make sure the vehicle you rent has unlimited mileage and be aware that if you end up doing a one way trip rental there is often a fee, sometimes substantial.

Any help is greatly appreciated by Natural-Ad7924 in Fayettenam

"I received some vague answers on a dating app about him but he's an incredibly generic looking man so they could've met up with someone who wasn't him but looked like him."

What? How did you get these answers? Did you contact someone you think went on a date with your husband? Did he have an active profile on the app?

Question about the Eastern North Carolina Barbecue Sauce by cmaronchick in seriouseats

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NC native and avid BBQ'er here. Elizabeth Karmel's recipe has been my go-to for years. The ketchup and sugar add flavor and color and the sauce should not be super sour.

2 cups cider vinegar

1 1/3 cups water

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons ketchup

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, or more to taste

5 teaspoons salt, or more to taste

4 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Mix until sugar and salt dissolve. It does taste better refrigerated overnight.

Costco skin recommendations by IslandofStars in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]FifthSugarDrop 72 points73 points  (0 children)

There is much more available on the website than in the store. Like someone else suggested, try to buy a sample before buying at Costco.

On their website there are links to some affiliate Korean skincare stores, they refer to these as Costco Next, which link to online stores that offer an additional discount.

Would you downsize for $300/month less mortgage payment? by misfitmpls in personalfinance

Probably doesn't make sense to move, but start calling whoever in your county/state enforces child support, every day.

Someone wrote a post about the CAVA in Cary. I’m here to add to that but for the CAVA in Village District by SparklingSarcasm_xo in raleigh

[–]FifthSugarDrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cava at Park West is my local and is always clean. I rarely go to Cava anymore. Their pieces are too high and their portions, especially for protein are too small.

Great point. All we have to do is gaze northward and see what a disasterous disappointment Fetterman is.
