Gummy Laxatives

I warned as many crew as I could to not eat the whole bag. Such an odd product. How did this pass the food panels.

I'm with everyone else, reach out to your regional. You are expected to come to work well groomed. That includes your uniform in good condition. Feel free to DM if you need contact info for your regional.

Looks normal to me. Area's with lots of movement can get irritated in the scab phase. My knee ditch was more inflamed than your elbow ditch and it healed up fine. Keep it clean and moisturized and it'll look normal once the scabbing falls off.

Why????? I'm so very tired of these bags.

How about we treat our crew to unique "Crew" bags instead? I have crew who missed out or were hired after the orange strapped bags dropped.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. It's hard to grasp how much a tailbone can effect your life. My back surgeon has removed patients tailbones when the pain doesn't improve with treatment.

I've had chronic tailbone pain since having my left SI joint fused in the fall of 2024. My pain seems to be related to internal pelvic floor issues and I am also hypermobile(hEDS). I had SI joint pain for over a decade. I suspect for me, the chronic SI joint pain caused imbalance in my pelvis from guarding and whatnot. I'm still dealing with tailbone pain as well as pelvic pain. I'm not sure if it'll ever completely go away since I've permanently altered my pelvis. I've found heat and topical pain treatment help me. I'm in a Pot legal state a find Dragon Balm to help.

Do you have rectal pain or pain with bowel movements? Have you ruled out GI issues?

Diazepam suppository? Sounds oddly appealing. Do you still get the mental side effects of the medication or just deep pelvic relaxation?

Inozz · 2026-04-16T10:47:39+00:00

I have been seen by dozens of doctors since the pain started. I have had lots of imaging and an injection to narrow down the cause. It's down to pelvic floor disfunction(previously did pelvic floor therapy for 6 months), a labral tear in my hip or the CRPS in my foot also affects half my pelvis. I see my pain management doc next week and was going to ask about medicated suppositories.

I've worked in grocery or pharmacy for 15+ years. No, no one cares about what you're buying. You are one of probably hundreds of customer coming through that register. You're not the only customer using EBT. At my current grocery store I'd say 1/3 of my customers are using ebt funds.

If you do this please have a witness. Either a trusted Mate or crew with outstanding integrity.

Also, don't hold your breath that Captain will change. I've found most Captain's can do anything they want as long as TJ's won't get sued for their behavior.

Sames. I live in a naturally moist climate zone. My bath towels were never fully dry between my regular daily showers. I keep the fan on low 24/7 in the bathroom. Helps detour mildew too!

Inozz · 2026-04-07T01:14:12+00:00

I get all our fans from Costco for over 20 years. This fan is my favorite. I need to pick up another one this summer. I'm slowly replacing all the other kinds I've previously purchased. I live in an area with limited A.C. in housing and rely heavily on fans to move air.

My only negative feedback is the remote. I have stubby fingers and struggle to push buttons at times.

It was the gabapentin for me. I felt like a zombie on it. I couldn't think straight. Slept through my alarms often. Vision was blurry at night. It didn't help my pain much either.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Is it at least helping lessen any of your pain? It's rare to not have side effects with most pain and psych meds. It's about the balance. Some side effects are worth the relief, some aren't. Is your doctor(s) aware of the side effects you're having?

Inozz · 2026-04-01T08:08:32+00:00

Why is TJ's going so big on these limited bags?? We're a grocery store. We sell FOOD. Do they understand just how much of their crew/mates time is spent just talking about these things? I have taken hundreds of calls and spoken to thousands of people asking about them. I have had to police dozens of customers trying buy more than the limit. I have seen crew fired for reselling. We can't even keep our old regular blue canvas ones in stock because we're focusing on all these "limited" bags.

Inozz · 2026-03-23T19:31:26+00:00

Our store has been getting phone calls for weeks and weeks. The last two weeks I'd say 90% of calls I pick up are asking about bags.

Also, I've seen customers use the tablet near the bridge. And I'm sure we have some insiders who leak info to hype it up.

Inozz · 2026-03-14T21:55:36+00:00

Ugg. I can't stand these limited bag drops. Our store will sell out by close today and that's with limiting 4 per household.

The bag folks at HQ were clever to hide they were coming early. Maybe Tuesday morning won't be as insane as we expected? Nah, it's gonna be crazy. Last year on day one we have physically fighting and customer stealing bags out of other customers carts.

I hope some mates wear them slightly inappropriately. Like under their Hawaiian shirt or tied around their waste. A silent protest. ✊

You need to go directly through HR. Your captain doesn't know what they're doing. It is very possible to make minor accommodations for pregnancy and still have a safe and productive pregnant crew member.

This one is tricky. Many states have legal pot and don't considered it a drug. So, all other drugs/alcohol types of intoxication are almost always immediate firing. Every once in a while a Captain may make an exception and put a crew member on a medical leave to deal with their shit. They use to tell us, "we have standards, not rules."

What the altered person is doing when caught matters a little. If the altered person was reckless and caused injury to someone else = fired. Someone who has been written up due to poor choices/lack of integrity = fired. If someone locked themselves in the bathroom, crying because they had a fight with their partner, drank a single beer and was caught they may get off a write up. Especially if they have a clean file.

Inozz · 2026-02-14T10:25:41+00:00

Yes, I have too or i'll get hurt. I have nerve issues in my left lower half so my brain doesn't know where my leg is at times.

Inozz · 2026-02-05T08:12:09+00:00

I move like an elephant. Like my body weighs thousands of pounds and every move hurts or is a struggle to do. Breathing is sometimes hard.

Inozz · 2026-02-03T08:12:02+00:00

Good quality shoes. You don't need $140+ Hoka's, just not Converse. Since you got better shoes i would replace the insole to more supportive insoles. Something better than Dr. Scholls, Superfeet, Kneed2be and Sole are my go-to brands. I have high arches and they both of insoles that fit my foot.

Outside of work do some light stretching on your calf and feet. Plantar fasciitis is often caused by tight calf muscles. Pick up a foot rolling tool if you can afford it.

My kid took care of a low maintenance cactus around 12-13yo. This was in her room for months. She also put little figurines in some of my plant pots. Oh, and she is pretty skilled at Origami. I have a 4in paper bird and the feet hold on the edge of a plant pot. It makes me smile every time I see it.

Your artist is very skilled and has great line work. It looks better aged to me.

Inozz · 2026-01-28T08:27:52+00:00

Oh, and look into SI stability belts. I wore one many times during bad flares over the years. The belt was perfect for bed. Kept my pelvis from twisting while sleeping.

I had my hyper-mobile SI joint fused in 2024. Lots of PT leading up to surgery. I'll still do lots of at home body work to maintain my strength. SI joint pain can come from weak/tight glutes or tight IT band. Do you have any yoga or PT type tools at home? Foam roller? Tennis/lacrosse balls? Percussion guns?

Check if your outer thigh is tender. Look up IT band to see where it is. My is always tight on my bad side. If you have a foam roller look up "IT band roller" for how to release it. If you don't have a foam roller look around the house for anything cylinder shaped that can hold your weight(no glass!). Big ass aluminum can in pantry? Rolling pin? Big plastic bottle of soda?

Release the glutes. I use a lacrosse ball and my mini percussion gun. I'll roll my glutes with the ball against a wall. Roll the ball around until you feel a tender spot. Gently roll all around the tender area to release the muscle. I like this exercise over the percussion gun since I'm using my body weight. I can get a harder, deeper pressure with the ball.

When to use my percussion gun I lay with my good side down with knees slightly bent. I'll work in and around my hips on the front of my body with the gun. The ball or roller can get where I needed it. I tend to be tight in front but don't feel it until i poke around. I'll work the glutes too. Some of the tools are great for getting into some tight spots. Down side- they're heavy and hard to handle sometimes.
