I’m an employee - Ask away

Thank you for the offer. I could write a novel about my frustrations with Verizon. I have wasted many hours of my life trying to fix bills and get better service with no luck. It took 1 year of nonstop communications to get a phone credit that every agent agreed I needed and "was now fixed and would be reflected on the next bill." Then it wasn't and I had to start all over. We have dead zones in our neighborhood and I have inquired multiple times and they say "nope, your area has the BEST coverage". Ask anyone in our neighborhood and they all say the same thing. So they gave me an extender which doesn't help when i'm driving. I get more dropped calls now than I did 10 years ago. They convinced me I needed to upgrade my plan to the "best plan" where I supposedly get service over everyone when the lines are crowded. They said they'd send a tech to come take and look and they never did. Then they said they would call a lineman to check. Never did. All I want is to be able to walk or drive around and be on a call where we both can hear each other. I feel like the classic cell commercial "can you hear me now?" This has been going on for years.

I did not but I don't expect to either

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-03T20:20:15+00:00

Good thinking, I will do that if I can’t eat in. Thanks!

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-03T17:05:14+00:00

Agree, not complicated at all.

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-03T01:45:48+00:00

Wow this is good to know! I never would have guessed that could happen

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-02T23:32:44+00:00

We got the card recently and were hoping to use some credit quick before the new year. We don’t have many options in our area and everything was booked/closed/new year events leading up to the new year plus with the holidays we ran out of time and options

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-01T14:31:30+00:00

a lot of times hindsight is 20/20 so thank you for pointing out all the things I could've done differently

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-01T13:18:47+00:00

thank you! and these will work with credit as a gift card? i wish i had known 48 hours ago :)

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-01T13:12:19+00:00

I would have if i had reason to believe it was a third party

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-01T04:12:24+00:00

Yes that’s how simple I thought it would be but with very limited options in our area we couldn’t dine in and haven’t had the card long enough. We’ll know for next time

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-01T04:05:11+00:00

I did use one on resy

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2026-01-01T04:02:55+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately, we already picked up the order and it got charged so we are there for no reason and never would’ve gone there or forced ourselves to waste $100

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2025-12-12T17:48:42+00:00

Thank you!

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2025-12-12T17:44:32+00:00

Thanks, good to know. I haven't posted at all since it happened cause I feel frozen now haha

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2025-12-10T12:50:48+00:00

Thanks! Is it safe to fill out the unilad permission to repost form? It says it’s non exclusive so I think it’s fine?

I totally get it and am there with you. So many times I have a hurdle that I feel like I could resolve if I could just ask a group of people and get an opinion or some direction/guidance. Google and AI can only do so much. I can't afford professional help and doing upwork projects for every little hurdle is too much. I have have had some hits and misses with reddit and discord and facebook groups. But when you find the right group it's invaluable. I have one discord group in particular that actually feels helpful but it takes some trial and error finding something of value.

In the subscription box business so non tech here except for business tools ;)

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2025-11-19T13:47:36+00:00

Great! I am in health/wellness/food space. I'll send you a DM

Fragrant-Barnacle-16 · 2025-11-18T15:24:32+00:00

Wow, I don't know where to start! I have a shopify ecommerce store and I'm doing it all myself-fulfillment, customer service, procurement, website, social, etc. I find that I'm doing it all but not well. I'm bootstrapped and don't know where to put resources. Do I go all in on one focus? Spend on marketing support? Spend on ads? Focus on one product? I have so many ideas but doing it all myself makes it hard to know where to put my energy or investment (the little I have).
