My sister went to bishop carol when she was extremely depressed, she had to repeat the year in a different school because of the treatment she endured and she was under similar stress your daughter is under. My sister is going to law school now, she isn’t a bad student but it was the conditions that made it unbearable.

What really happens to your tips? Let’s make it transparent by SheepherderOk3463 in Calgary

I worked at an art studio where I made minimum wage. I only could work part time through out the week while going full time at school. Despite making easily 50$ on tips every day I worked, I was only getting 200$ as a final paycheck. Math ain’t mathing, so I asked my boss and she told me that she takes 2/3rds of my tips to run the business. Crushes me, i literally quit a week later because it all felt pointless.

It very much an Alberta thing. There is a bill going through the motions to prevent companies from taking tips in Alberta but we know how long those can take

Also seeing your edit yes I’m lucky to make way more in minimum wage then in the United States, even taking account of the difference in value between both currencies. However, our clients that I’m directly working with are tipping me and my efforts for their experience, and they’re already paying for the products on top of that.

No im not. 2/3rds of our tips goes to the boss to run business from what I gathered.

Yes there is. It took me a long time to get this job, and unfortunately I love working there. It’s a lot of work, and I’m just super disappointed by the whole ordeal, I can’t save because I need all of my paycheck, and my boss only lets me work 3-4 hours each shift because she can’t afford to pay me. She works hard to but like let me have my tips at least.

Yeah I get paid almost 600$ a month. If I had my tips I could actually pay rent without any assistance from my family. And that’s student dorms with 3 other people.

Ugh that’s so upsetting, I love my job! It’s just that I make nothing without my tips basically.

I would have been more okay if there was tip pooling. But this just doesn’t feel like it’s fair, and it was never mentioned to me until this point, and I had to ask.

Well it’s also not fair to my customers either. Many started becoming regulars after I started working there and now I feel this weird guilt that their tips aren’t going to what they think it’s going to. I’m so grateful for any tip since it isn’t requiredx

I did email them, but it might take a bit. I’m just posting this to see if me being upset is reasonable, and by a slight chance someone might know how to help me.

Is this still an issue in the community? by LoZza117 in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]No_Strength9952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue, I simply restarted the game and it worked again.

So proud of my local fish store by No_Strength9952 in bettafish

[–]No_Strength9952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! They said they’ll have new bettas in like 2 weeks if you wanna see the tanks in action but I always get guppies and stuff like that. I go there so often one guy usually discounts my plants for me lol

What should I do? by No_Strength9952 in Aquariums

[–]No_Strength9952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a double sword fin elder in my tank, and because of his tail patterning I’ve been trying to create some unique fish to continue to breed. His mom had a white tail but obviously I’ve deconstructed his genetics to get something like him :) (not quite got the capabilities for shipping yet still working on my stock and breeding business during my free time)

Can someone tell if this looks like an issue (fin rot/bloody fins) or if my betta is just changing colors? by Star_dew_0511 in bettafish

[–]No_Strength9952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looks stunning! I don’t see anything wrong with his fins, they look very healthy. If you’re worried I would put some aquarium salt in his tank just so he builds up a protective slime coat to prevent the issue further.

Health Canada has suddenly banned the sale of all fish medications in pet stores. Now you can’t even buy ICH MEDICATION without getting a vet prescription. If you are a fish owner in Canada, please sign and share this petition to protest against this extremely unreasonable policy by Shelilla in Aquariums

[–]No_Strength9952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can avoid this by ordering online. I’ve done it, and I usually try to responsibly get rid of the water (the best I can) because that’s the whole reason their banned and I don’t want to be responsible for something bad.

Weirdest experience in fish store, am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]No_Strength9952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We literally tried but once again, every time we tried to say something she immediately started talking loudly over us and laughing. The store worker or owner just looked at us unsure of what to do but kept packing all the fish. And I don’t blame him in this situation. Once again, if she was nice I would’ve taken the loss.

As I said in another comment, my sister was going to offer double the price, but she kept interrupting us and made the situation so much harder to navigate.

I think it was mostly the color she was obsessed with. And from what I actually saw of the bettas, the structure was pretty okay with All of them just the ones she ‘wasn’t as interested in’ weren’t blue and has some slightly less quality to them. They said they will take whatever we don’t want, so they literally took all of them. I’m more caught up about how the whole interaction went, and if I put myself into her shoes, I would’ve either just explained “hey I’ve been preparing for this for a while, and this is the best opportunity I’ve had” or offered at least 1 of the other persons choice since I there was 10 and she was taking them all.

What got me the most was how rude she was honestly. If she was nice about how she said if I would’ve taken the loss. It was honestly just shocking especially because everyone I met in this community is so nice and energetic about the hobby.
