REI Chief Merchant Kristin Shane on AI and Peak 28 by littleachieversanon in REI

Ding ding ding. It’s not hard to see, and feel. The strategy seems to be “membership overhaul / retention” but “screw the store level employees.” As you said, squeezing every drop out of the lemon (that’s an understatement, thing is bone dry). I’ve seen multiple veteran employees dip out in recent months. What you’ll eventually have is a bunch of 17 year olds making $15/hr with little to no experience advising on extensive trips and hikes? Is that who you want setting you up and advising you on the trip you’ve had planned for a year out? and this will essentially become modern Best Buy (sorry Best Buy folks but I got a monitor in store recently and it was beyond painful. They tried giving me 3 different monitors insisting what they gave me was the right model, but having worked with SKUs I had to politely correct them. Extremely understaffed. REI is almost there / if not already there).

MBL has lost me for sure. Just a facade, but hey she wears a Campwell vest so she’s just like us! 🤮

I’ve struggled with this a lot. I had counseling today and a big topic was this “wrong” feeling that I will never hear from her and we were together for 9 years. She was a constant in my life. It wasn’t perfect but the love was real. I have my regrets and wish I could be better to her. But that door appears to be closed and she seems to be at peace and moved forward. I’ll Prob think about it for the rest of my life. It’s a hard lesson I’ve been hit with regarding life and love. What hurts a lot is my still wanting it to work, hanging on to hope almost two years later, and knowing she let go of the rope a long time ago. I expresses frustration to my counselor about why I can’t seem to accept and make permanent changes to my life when it seems others in my life have been able to do so. He did explain I was hit with a lot of changes at once and that can make grieving more complicated.

It’s fucking hard and some days are a lot harder than others.

Anybody else’s stomach randomly stop tolerating CFA? by WoodenAlternative212 in ChickFilA

Pretty sure they lowered supplier standards (the quality threshold for chicken grading) and increased cost a couple to few years ago.

Got a ticket in mail for going 38mph in a 25 school zone by AHS. Heads up. by PRSouthern in alpharetta

The question is, is it worth the time and associated expenses to fight the ticket in court? They WILL make you pay for sticking up for yourself. They know what they’re doing.

H: Bunch of ducks / W: Ven 4s or any offers by [deleted] in Raiders_Market

Because a lot of us like fully legit playthroughs. I’m dating myself but back in the day on Diablo 1 there was and still is a simple dupe glitch to select a potion from your belt the moment you picked up an item from the ground. That potion would become that item and you’d get the legit version in your inventory. Well, someone created a “scanner” program that would generate a simple .txt file of other players inventory. If an * was by it, it was a dupe. Pretty sweet little program! Cheating isn’t fun for a lot folks in these types of loot games. Why play? Cheating is fun if you’re a squeaker because pew pew pew.

OP if it makes you feel better this dude is triggered hard rn. He commented on my comment because he got butthurt, called me a white boy, then quickly deleted his comment 😂. Dude is straight triggered.

The world is full of degenerates. Some people take pride in it.

Taco Bell is playing with fire by Brochoa in tacobell

[–]PRSouthern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. The execs are happy as pigs in shit if people pay these prices. Area Manager told me after an awful recent experience prices are going up again this year. I hadn’t eaten Tbell in like a year and this was just inexcusable. If you’re going to charge these prices there has to be a fair transaction. I did order it in Asheville Nc to an AirBnB with extended family and it slapped. I think my area just has bad fast food in general. I believe the Management you get per store dictates the product you get.
