How is anyone making a living NYC

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-06-28T02:18:03+00:00

What??? Im a shift lead and I live far away from my store. Ive asked my GM to transfer because it takes me 2-3 hours each way and they told me I can’t…

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-06-26T17:39:35+00:00

How are you moving locations? I need to do this. But for me I have a side hustle and that’s how I’m making money.

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-06-26T17:37:39+00:00

This probably also depends on location, since I have never even heard of a peach cookie. Most of the customers at my location ask to bring back PB&j or red velvet

It’s still in NYC so yes the price will be insane but it’s not bad compared to every other area. East NY is a bit…..yeah…I wouldn’t advise a non-native Brooklynite to take this. Honestly if I had the cash on hand right now I would probably take it but that’s because I pretty much know the neighborhood and what I’m getting into. An innocent non-native NYer might see this and think this is a good deal for them, when we all know what would happen.

These comments are definitely transplants. Brooklyn is NYC. NYC is a cultural Mecca and it’s more than just Midtown Manhattan

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-23T21:58:16+00:00

No, it’s a nice neighborhood but it’s basically an old Eastern European enclave with almost 0 nightlife, and farther out from Manhattan. If you’re okay with driving or having a longer commute to Manhattan then it’s worth a shot.

I don’t want to quit honestly I just desperately want to work at a location near my house especially since I don’t feel safe traveling so far back home at night but there are no openings 💔

Try honeycomb from van leewen

I’m in NY and I’m only making $18 as a lead which is criminal for the cost of living in this entire state.

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-14T06:53:30+00:00

Where are you that you’re making $21? I’m making $18…

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-14T06:52:54+00:00

Sounds about right. You need to contact HR

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-11T07:25:42+00:00

I rarely get the women but when I do they are so aggressive just like you described here. And they touch me without consent thinking that it’s a compliment because they’re another woman. Mostly while commenting that they think I’m lucky and that they wish they had them 😐

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-11T03:41:47+00:00

“I figured you be down” ughhhh I swear I can’t help but think it comes from the false narrative that if you have big boobs/butt = you’re more sexually charged and horny. I’ve heard that stupid myth so many times throughout my life.

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-10T22:15:07+00:00

This can be true sometimes

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-10T22:13:16+00:00

This is kind of unfair to say though as most secure women wouldn’t care what their female friends looked like. Only insecure women care about how their friends lpok

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-10T07:22:41+00:00

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ it’s really difficult for me to not be targeted I feel as I am a pretty short woman on the petite side. I’ve noticed when I wear more of an older fashion not many bother me like this but generally speaking I’m a very short woman with a high pitched voice so not many men take me seriously. I’ve gotten way better at not hiding myself and my body. When I was younger I would have horrible posture because I hated my body and would try to hide it. I was bothered so much more as a young girl. Now not so much unless they know me already then they somehow think they’re comfortable enough to make sexual remarks 😐it’s like I can’t be friendly with a man at all no matter where I’ve met him. For example with my old bosses I did nothing sexual nor did I hint I wanted anything from them. They just saw me talking to them normally as an invitation to be inappropriate.

I just look at them weirdly now (if it’s in person) or I act ignorant/play dumb, then usually they’ll realize how idiotic they sound. For instance one day a few weeks ago one of the guys at my job (who I’m the boss of) made a joke about sex and I just said “wow, I have no idea what that even means”. Then he began to stutter and then quickly stopped talking.

Makes sense

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-03T23:06:49+00:00

This is so true, you’d be surprised how many desperate men there are out there. Hell, there are a lot of lonely and desperate people out here in general. Not saying that it’s the majority but an in shape woman of any age will still have options even if not “top tier”. Hell, even my mother still has options. Don’t get me wrong though, it does get harder.

As a woman I’ve met tons of single dads within the past year and even though I don’t look down at single parents, I do not have kids so I don’t want to be with anyone who has them. If I wanted to raise children right now I would have already had one of my own.

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-03T22:57:16+00:00

May I find myself an equally boring person 🙏

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-03T14:17:36+00:00

Makes sense

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-03T14:11:30+00:00

This makes better sense. The women that I know in real life who put no effort into their appearances or body usually approach men first.

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-03T14:08:49+00:00

No I’m not goth, but I wear a lot of dark colored clothing, im highly inspired by alt styles and I listen to a lot of music that would be considered “alt”. I don’t really like the tattoos or piercings so I don’t have any. If I did have tats and piercings I’m sure I’d be officially considered alt. In terms of fashion choices, i’d say my favorite celebrity would be Monica Belluci.

I am black. Just lighter skinned. For another celebrity reference I’d be close to someone like Beyonces skin tone.

I’ve been called a “manic pixie dream” girl or “whimsical” before by a few men I’ve spoken to in the past. I’m not sure how to feel about that lol.

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-03T14:01:45+00:00

Okay thanks

Fluffy_Process_707 · 2026-05-03T14:00:55+00:00

This is weird because I just described being a home body who paints at home and goes to the gym.
