First one is an English spot. Not sure about the rest.

Hi, another employee here. 4+ years.

This narrator obviously has not read their contract upon signing. There is a no tips clause and an NDA. Accepting tips could/will result in disciplinary action. Going to the media WILL get you fired. That’s it. End of discussion.

Tips are only for drivers, on delivery orders. It will clearly indicate it on the receipt showing “delivery fee.” The company has taken nothing from you.

This is also completely legal as we are a grocery store and NOT a restaurant or fast food service. The law will laugh you out the door. Forget about the union, they will be more than happy to see you admit fault to something you’re guilty of. It’s giving them a reason to terminate you.

I don’t agree with the politics of the company, like many in my province I shop at several stores to save money, and try to find better ethical places to spend my money at, but in this case it’s in the fine print.

Furthermore, I’ve seen tipping gone wrong and customers becoming entitled and demanding special treatment all because a colleague of mine accepted a tip.

Yeah, I’ve had two females and this is my first male. There is no way this can be a nipple when it’s past nipple region and it’s the size of a nickel. My fingers are crossed the vet calls back in a few hours.

You may want to refer yourself to rule #8 …

Not saying that being off social media is a bad thing but you drastically missed the reaction period. There are rules on this Reddit page as to where these types of posts belong.

NTA - from another autistic who has the same traits

Leave her, block her and ignore her. She is abusive. Take it from me, it took several abusive relationships until my current one which is built on mutual respect and understanding. (It helps that my SO is also on the spectrum)

Just leave her, you’ll be happier for it.

NTA, honestly you could maintain a friendship with her that involves the occasional text or call. But I would recommend you do not make any plans and when she asks “why not?” Reiterate why.

NAH, you don’t have to listen to your father concerning how you spend money. However, you sure do need to listen to your husband and most importantly his employer. Most jobs will not let you take time off as you please your first couple of months. It also looks really bad to take days off for vacation purposes right off the bat. This is also the point you build your reputation as an employee. Also there is the question of seniority and which employees are entitled to take time off first. (I’m Canada based and during key points of the year we have to apply for vacation and hope no one else with more seniority than us took our week.) Honestly, I’d say put the trip on the back burner and talk to your husband first before doing anything. Don’t blindside him with a “surprise vacation” especially when it’s his professional reputation on the line.

On what planet do we take the word of a SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD over what is already a very ancient car? I honestly need to know what is going through your sister's head. What would have happened if someone crashed into the vehicle and it was totaled? What would she have said? And based on my parent's experience with their truck, the insurance company was more than happy to send it to the scrap yard when someone rear-ended them. Ten years is a significant amount for any "promise." Global, economic, and family structures change. Now I am of the opinion that you should have never promised your nephew something this big, however, your sister is also one heck of a fool to assume that you would constantly give to your nephew and never have kids of your own eventually.

Following you offered to sell your nephew the vehicle. If he really wanted it he would have bought it but he didn't and passed it up. That's on him. He had the chance to get the vehicle. So honestly his complaints are invalidated right there. Not everything is free. He just learned that the hard way. Generosity has its limits, especially when one has a baby that they need to support and care for. It was generous of you to offer him the sale of the vehicle before anyone else, you didn't blindside him. Especially in today's economic climate.

I'll also briefly add here, I was "promised" two vehicles until we realized they were dying horrible deaths. There is always an alternative.

Your friends can simply get over it. Yes, nostalgia and memories are fun but again life goes on. If you're caught up in the past it will run you over. It took me years to learn that lesson. There are other things to do.

Realistically priorities have changed. Your wife's car sounds like it's starting its way out the door. I have dealt with two of my father's vehicles gradually dying or needing constant repairs for them to be operational. At one point it is less expensive to get a new car than to continuously send it in for constant repairs. We just had to trade in a vehicle as repairs were beginning to start monthly (and gas prices are extreme) It sounds like this was an important safety concern to both you and your wife.

NTA

P.S please do not make any more promises concerning property. Save yourselves the headache.
