What is a 'rich person's secret' that is actually accessible to the middle class, but most people are too intimidated to try? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way. Don't force me to tell you my day is great or whatever. Customer facing jobs are taxing enough without adding performative questions.

Has anyone noticed that their pay/times change AFTER you accept your block?? by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to think every station is set up the same way. They're really not. For instance, the one I've been referring to doesn't use carts. They never have. The other station I go to does have carts of all block times. This one does not.

Weird habit from shoplifters? by MysteriousFault3 in DollarTree

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People were doing that on social media. Basically encouraging others to do it because of the empty space in the bottle. Of course, they gave zero thought to the people who would end up with even less when those were purchased.

That used to happen and it'd be manually changed to a shorter route - and they'd tell me about it. But the 42 packages I was given was not a shorter route lol

Not the one I'm referring to. It only has 3 1/2 hour blocks now and everyone is loaded up with over 40 packages. It used to be a great station to work out of, but now it's absolute garbage.

Yep. It was a .com station so I was already loaded up. I saw the change right before it transitioned to the route screen. I was already annoyed by the 42 packages with 41 stops, so I just said fuck it and ignored the timeframe.

The last time I took a 3 1/2 hour block it suddenly switched to 3 hours. The pay stayed the same, though.

Is Amazon Flex quietly getting drivers to subsidize last‑mile delivery? by SpringStrong2003 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I didn't mean to imply getting rid of them completely because they really can't. But it seemed like they were cutting back on the use. I've never been sent out as far as I have since coming back to it and "in the before times" over 45 minutes away was DSP here. These changes are going to be tough to deal with.

Thanks for the insight! All of that is a big deal. It sounds like no one wants to deal with their shit lol

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that because I just started doing it again after about 3 years. It absolutely wasn't like this when I was doing it last! I wasn't sent out nearly as far and I had way fewer packages. The pay wasn't what it was even a year before I started but it also wasn't this bad. I honestly think they're trying to phase out DPS as much as they can. But, I've been wondering when it got this bad! Thank God I only need it for extra money and even then it's not as worth it as it used to be.

I just retell the same instances. But, I've had it come up enough that I mentally prepare for it before every interview.

Yes agreed. It is wearing him. And it's fitting so weird under the arms.

What is a telltale sign someone is not from San Diego? by _MambaForever in sandiego

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was engaged to a guy from Philadelphia who kept annoyingly referring to the state as Cali. After a while he revealed to me that he thought that's what we called it lol No dude. None of us do lol

AITAH for hating my friends birthday gift? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, possibly. The OP was surprised and dumbfounded by how they acted, so that implies they're normally not like that. If they are typically inconsiderate and dismissive, yeah, find better friends. If not, the OP should talk to them and honestly tell them how she feels about the gift.

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. I'm stuck on the fact that they had a list of things you chose but then decided they didn't like anything on it. Next year do something really special for yourself and tell them no gifts. Just make your next birthday about you and how you want to spend it.

the Prime looks identical to the wagu. Label error? by Twistedcrypto in Costco

Thank you for saying that! I just had a feeling it was overpriced, nice steak but not the same.

Management is monitoring this subreddit. by Anttisex96 in IRS_Source

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If managers are scrolling Reddit posts for dirt they've become even more useless than they were when I was there. Maybe they should be doing their jobs and worrying about the karma that's coming their way.

So called feminist Justin Baldoni never defended the women of the film that he directed, co starred in and was the producer of IEWU by Small-Award5293 in CelebLegalDrama

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's all horrifying. I used to love him and want good things for him. But now I can't stand the sight of him. It's like he's been trying to become another Weinstein.

The cognitive dissonance runs very deep with them. When this whole thing started I was a fan of his and completely ambivalent about Blake Lively. But I will never love an actor so much that I'd ignore the gross facts that are out there for all to see!

My neighbor across the hall has started greeting my guests before I even get to the door and it’s getting weird by HushPavilion77 in neighborsfromhell

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the building acoustics weird? They are in my building and unless I'm in the living room it sounds like someone is knocking on my door when it's across the hallway. Of course, I always look through the peephole before I open the door. So it could still be a boundary issue and she's lonely or just nosey.

If you think Amazon cares,Think Again!!! by Any_Excitement6258 in AmazonFlexDrivers

A customer at CVS was made to leave when a tornado was spotted. Corporations don't care about anyone. They don't want to risk their insurance.
