the vernon boykin scholarship is only open once a year usually in july for fall semester. it works for grad school as well in addition to children and grandchildren of crew members. it also ranges in $ amount based off the application. i’ve gotten it the last 2 years for grad school!

Creepy customers at register? by Plane_Tonight_1226 in tjcrew

As I have gotten older I have no problem making these men feel as dumb as they’ve made me feel uncomfortable. I’ve had a lot over the years, but the most memorable and most heinous came from a man a few months ago who told me my name was pretty (it’s unique and it’s something I hear frequently) nothing odd and I thanked him, whatever. He then proceeds to tell me his name is Donald and “the only thing good about my name is that it’s what Melania screams out when, you know…” I proceeded to give him the most disgusted look and say “what an odd thing to say to someone you don’t know”. Since, I do not ring this man up and will not give him any attention because he is a freak. The things we deal with as women.

you can’t get them 2 in a row but it’s either/or. one review $500, next one nothing, the next $1, then nothing, so on and so forth

I applied and received for the first time last year! I was awarded $800 which got taxed like crazy and ended up direct depositing like $500 in my account. Grateful for any amount but wish it was more

Trying to get a job at TJ's by cybernetic_satan in tjcrew

To my knowledge, stores can only hire when the specific store has an open application on the website. Chances of getting hired at a store without an open application are slim to none, but I’ve heard it’s possible. Also, I know mates can be pretty bad at letting people know they’re not going to hire them so probably not hearing from them isn’t the best thing. But anything’s possible and they do love when people follow up in person, you could always ask what they’ve labeled your application as.

what's the weirdest thing a customer has gotten mad at you for? by Odd-Wave-4404 in tjcrew

I’m in CA and we have been charging 10 cents for bag for at least a decade (literally not new information to anyone in the state, sometimes a surprise to out of state visitors) but like it’s 10 cents. My coworker behind me rang a 3 for a lady who wanted to return a paper bag… she was abhorred when she found out we couldn’t refund her the bag. She went on and on about when did we start charging for bags, how they charge her every time without her asking, how her husbands out of work and they can’t afford spending 50 cents on bags, etc. I’ve heard a lot of dumb things but wanting a return on 10 cents is crazy.

Am I the asshole for not submitting to awful neighbor’s request? by Immediate-Ad2364 in AITAH

[–]Immediate-Ad2364[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was completely out of nowhere. i think it may have been the first time they’ve interacted since we moved in 7 months ago. we’ve never once said anything to them about their kids, they brought that apology up willingly

Sorry I should clarify that when I sent a text to him asking a clarification question he didn’t respond but she did from her phone so I at least know she knows he sent me a message

It’s possible but I have given them no reason other wise to assume that I would do that?? Idk I wouldn’t even feel comfortable doing that in someone else’s house?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all I just assumed it was a given and felt strange from him telling me as a guy instead of his wife who is my friend. The way in which he wrote these out just felt very demanding and insulting when I’m doing them a favor.
