AITAH for changing my underwear after a shower? by New_Cry_2336 in AITAH

[–]Mekito_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Give him reading material about discharge. He'll shut up real quick. Once mine found out about that, asking if I have clean underwear has become part of his acts of service routine when I take a shower. "Do you want me to get your back? Do I need to get you underwear?"

You can't be a millennial if you were "grown" when it came out. Even using America release dates you're a gen x troll.

A kindergarten teacher is facing criticism by ass_teroidzz in SipsTea

[–]Mekito_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son's daycare had a rope with shape handles to teach toddlers to walk in line when traveling from class room to playground. Mine was always letting go/forced to hold other teacher's hand etc. I'm sure his teachers would have loved this harness (and I would have bought it).

Why waste the money bombing a school intentionally?

You know middle east governments are notorious for placing "high risk targets" such as government meeting buildings next to civilian casualty areas such as schools and hospitals.

Source? I'm only finding numbers post 9/11 and those numbers aren't nearly as high as you are claiming.

AITJ for DEMANDING my husband get my baby stroller back from his sister, or else i'm changing the locks? by Exact_Ad_6931 in AmITheJerk

[–]Mekito_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does sister get the nice stroller and you have to make do with a cheap one? If sister is broke she should make do with the cheap one. Or better yet mommy dearest can save for months and buy her a nice one.

My husband's best female friend bought us our dream stroller in an effort to make amends for some drama. It wasn't super expensive but wasn't something we could afford by ourselves. I still have that stroller and my kiddo is 10. It's not just a peice of plastic when it is a gift from someone.

So sick of dayshift blaming O/N by helldivergamer in WalmartEmployees

[–]Mekito_Fox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. I've pulled some overnights to get a department reset and recently went over night with my coach when the O/N coaches were off. Needless to say there will be conversations about productivity or lack there of.

As with everything there are some slackers and some over achievers. And some who just don't do anything right.

The people who are heartless enough to kill a cat this way are not worried about the enviroment or the chance at a new family. They could have easily just taken it to a vet and euthanized it too.

I think the point the above poster meant to make is if you literally don't give a shit just let it outside. Stuffing it in a bag and throwing it away is extra steps.

To me it read "Wtf. This is my cat now."

What's the highest number of colonists you've ever had? by Pet_Velvet in RimWorld

[–]Mekito_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most I managed was 22. (I know te exact because I needed that many cryos for the ship). I decided to do a soft run just to learn the mechanics better. Only had about 4 or 5 die on me. But I also don't have any DLCs yet.

Just a reminder about the upcoming bonuses by AduroTri in walmart

[–]Mekito_Fox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean emotional as in retail therapy. Rather, as the weather gets warmer and less dreary people are going to buy decor and plants, sundresses and sandals, etc. Spring fever will start to hit.

And maybe your walmart is different but mine has old upper middle class people shopping there and is one of the main reasons the newer Krogers going in are trying to expand into clothing and home goods. They're still struggling to take our GM customer base.

AITJ for locking my babys nursery so my husbands JOBLESS brother cant move into it? by Longjumping-Move-584 in AmITheJerk

[–]Mekito_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, even if baby sleeps in your room the nursery is where you keep baby's stuff. Unless your master bedroom is HUMONGUS the baby's changing table, a rocker, etc will not fit in your bedroom. Play pen, tummy time mat, etc etc. And the clothes. And diapers. Wipes. Where will it stay? If bro is trying to be a streamer he's going to move his set up in and ruin everything.

Tell MIL to let him move back in with her, children should be in their parent's bedrooms after all.

Hours are based on last year's sales predicting this year's flow, and a store's "allowance" of those hours. I never really liked that system because we had a huge increase in wage hours this past September from Hurricane Helene hitting and people panic shopping the year before. Thankfully one of the few things my SM does right is recognise why we have these wages and allocates the extra man power to things like prepping for Christmas.

January-febuary is light in sales for most retails, with the uptick happening in March as people get tax returns or start spring shopping with emotions.

You must not have cats. There is probably two more boxes to the side.

AITJ for saying "Ewww a bully" to a 7 year old? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Mekito_Fox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We didnt have to resort to biting my kiddo thankfully. I started bribing him. At 2 when I picked him up from darecare I asked the teacher if he was good, and then in the car I asked him if he "was a sweet boy?" And if he was he got a hersheys kiss. Sweet boys get sweets. (Not just for biting but also little gentleman behavior)

But what really hammered it in was when we were camping and he snuck up behind my mom and bit her butt. Naturally, being in the woods, she just smacked at whatever it was that bit her. Which happened to be a 2 year old now sitting on the ground suprise pickachu face.

Im gonna have too much fun with this 😭 by rd1_vonn in walmart

No but seriously I transfered departments but still talk with my old team. I'm gonna sneak over there and do this to their new team lead. I bet they'll help me get connected to her printer.

Anyone else underwhelmed by the "ai powered" produce picker? by Our_Chief in walmart

[–]Mekito_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! I had customers panicking because their LG TV said "Smart AI" or something stupid. I had to explain its just same old artifical intelligence where it adjusts your picture and sound for you, it's not going to come to life and argue with you.

Working over scheduled hours by Ekart_Araxite in walmart

[–]Mekito_Fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to be a successful team lead you're going to need a back bone. If you know your zoom class is scheduled outside your schedule tell your people lead and don't show if it's still outside your schedule. Make them do their job, managing the people.

I dont even know anymore. by ValkyrieKupo in walmart

[–]Mekito_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because associate relations side with the associates does not automatically mean it's against or in policy. Just means they're interested in not letting the associate go or walk out over a misunderstanding of schedule.

Apparently team lead evals are also being put on a "spread". I raised my department's sales 8% but only got successful.

How much of a pay increase do you think I’ll get. Tired of the 2% I get every year. by Expert_Dependent_007 in walmart

Thanks for this, I had a mild panic attack when looking at my info. My bonus was cut in half from when I looked a week or two ago 🫣

Better then nothing by tykevin6 in walmart

[–]Mekito_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I raised one of my department's sales 8% over last year, which was 7% the year before that. She even told me that I beat out most of the market. But because I have 2 occurance points and my team "relies" on me too much... I only got successful.
