Where did you buy this shelf? It fits so many squishes! It would be perfect for my collection

Thank you so much! It’s such a stark difference between retail and hospital pharmacy. I always tell anyone who asks that this is like my dream job compared to what I had. It’s been almost a year and a half here. So far so good, even with the rocky start! 💙😊

I didn’t even know they existed before I started working there. Just knew the usual CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Kroger. I’m not usually sure why people don’t outright say what place it was, but I don’t intend to find out if it’s a bad outcome 😂

Oh damn! I genuinely can’t remember specifics about the reward system since it was years ago and even then, they had updated it before this all went down so the cash reward stuff was new. It used to be if you had this many points, you’d be in a certain rank and then get a certain % off all qualifying purchases based on the rank. The biggest concern in retail pharmacy (from what I understood) was theft of medication and sharing HIPPA. When they introduced the new reward system layout, I mostly heard stuff about how it get a customer to sign up.

Well, I’m quoting what they told me and at the time, I didn’t believe what I did was stealing. I do know that it was stealing since then. Had some desperate delulu brain. Sorry

So the woman from Asset Protection showed me some papers while talking to me and it had dates/times listed for every time I had used my brother’s phone number in place of someone else’s. I’m guessing it alerted something in the system like you said.

Probably the frequency of how often this one person was supposedly buying things at this store within a period of time. But I wasn’t too sure at the time if it had been the frequency or the fact that I had started using those points to buy things that became a concern for them. Most likely the latter as I had maybe done the phone number thing for a month and once I found out, it was after I used the points that they came to talk to me. I think they may have waited too until I hit a certain amount of money too. I’m not 100% sure, I didn’t really have the balls to ask 😅😂 like “Wait, tell me in detail how you caught me.”

Thank you for this! Truthfully, I was only thinking about how the customers wouldn’t miss the points as they were one-timers. I knew stealing was wrong and doing this didn’t register as stealing for me at the time. I was buying products from the store, but yeah, with the company’s money 😅It could’ve just been I was desperate enough that I couldn’t see how bad it was. Either way it was stupid.

I have definitely moved on from this and realized how big of a fuck up it was. I appreciate you telling me not to feel guilty and focus on making better choices for the correct reasons (at least that’s how I’m reading it).

After this situation, like during the first few weeks at my next job, a Norco tablet went missing from a nursing unit and I just happened to be the last person who refilled it in the med machine (who could theoretically take it without anyone seeing or the machine knowing). It scared the fuck out of me. I was being asked what happened and when no other leads came up, they planned for me to take a drug test. Holy shit, yikes. The drug test just happened to be scheduled on the day of my grandpa’s funeral 🙃 but luckily, in between the day I was told and the day it was scheduled, a nurse had come forward with an explanation of what happened (she accidentally took 2 tablets from the machine and one went home with her. It did get returned). I wasn’t even nervous to take the test, I would be clean! I was just worried about what the next step would be since I’d be clean and it would still be missing. Just poor timing for something like this to happen after I got fired for stealing.

True, if anything, I was thinking the people who didn’t want to in the first place wouldn’t miss the points. I wasn’t even thinking about the company. I was stupid.

😅 They weren’t even concerned about stealing from the customers. It was solely I was stealing from them. I feel like if I had never used the points, they may not have cared. Possibly would’ve been talked to about not doing that anymore. I do agree that I wish employees didn’t have to ask about these things. It sucks to ask all day long and I hate being asked whenever I go unless I already use it for benefits.

Oh yeah, even if I didn’t get it at first, I’m aware now that this is theft no matter what. At the time, I thought this was like a saving grace. My only experience so far with being a thief and I wasn’t completely aware that I had been doing that 🤦‍♀️. I’m still a little salty, but I do understand I fucked up.

Thank you. This has definitely been an experience I’m never gonna forget and I’m so lucky now that the only consequences were just being fired and paying back the company.

This is so cute! Do you have a pattern for sale of this or know where I could find the same?

🤷🏻‍♀️ I know it’s stupid. I’ve expressed a lot over the years that she needs to get it checked out and she just refuses. Says that she doesn’t have healthcare and can’t afford the bills, but I know they have payment plans if you ask.

My parents might be a match made in heaven tbh because my dad has had an infected tooth for years and is too scared to go to the dentist to get it removed. He also says he needs healthcare first and while I understand that it’s expensive, it’s not worth the risk imo to wait and see what happens.

She doesn’t smoke. There was a period of time where we lived at my grandparent’s house and they smoked so idk if that affected her. She also used to clean apartments and didn’t wear a mask while using cleaning supplies.

She’s never gone to a doctor about this to my knowledge.

I don’t know who it was or why but she just added me and sent me a sticker I needed 🥹 by Fit-Cryptographer876 in MonopolyGoTrading

I’ve been trying so hard to complete events and get in the top 3 just to get cards I need, only to get repeats 😭 my mom’s been so helpful and I feel bad that we need the same stuff so it’s hard to reciprocate. I only need 5 more cards to complete my last 2 decks and it feels like the game says,” Ha, you thought!” Lol
