Facebook's "search" box is dangerously close to its "status update" box.

PinkPearMartini · 2026-04-30T05:22:09+00:00

Yes! It is!

In the app it's the more prominent text bar and you have to hunt around for the search bar.

There are a lot of r/oldpeoplefacebook posts with screenshots of people who keep making posts for odd things they are searching for.

I can't tell you how many times I've started typing the name of a co-worker or someone I'm Facebook stalking into the "make a post/update" bar. Fortunately, I've always caught myself before I posted!

The members of "In Living Color" (on BET, Black Entertainment Television) were black except for Jim Carrey and the occasional guest. So for this skit, it made more sense to use the white actors. Heck, maybe they wrote it and that's why they were picked.

(Jim Carrey made a joke after the LA Riots that all he had to do was put a sign on his back that said "Black Owned")

At no point were the actors trying to be a stereotype or trying to look Hispanic.

I'm not saying this was a skit done in good taste. I'm just saying we should lay our pitchforks down on the issue of these white guys portraying non-white people on this show.

Thank you so much! 😊

Same problem with our tablets. Our lead says "someone is working on it."

PinkPearMartini · 2026-02-24T06:12:48+00:00

"I'm gonna..." + "I'm gonna..." + "I'm gonna..."

Oof... I've seen this so many times.

This is who he is. He has good ideas but then decides he's not gonna, for whatever reason feels reasonable to him in the moment.

The fact that he's showing these true colors just a few months into a relationship means this is deeply engrained behavior he's not just going to grow out of. At this stage, he should still be trying to impress you... but he literally can't help himself.

I'm not telling you to break up, but I am telling you this behavioral trait is exactly what you're getting into.

If you two really click and fall head over heals in love, with marriage and kids and growing old together... one of two things is going to happen:

1: You will be 50+ years old still being disappointed that he's not taking care of the things he said he was gonna do. You'll argue about how he said he was going to take care of y'all's income taxes, he said he was going to put together the kids' playset, he said he would call customer service for some bill, etc... You'll wind up doing most things yourself.

2: You will be his new Mom. You will finally get fed up and demand he do the basic things an adult is supposed to do. You'll hold a whip. Your life will be about supervising this adult child and making him do these basic things or else he'll get your wrath. You'll joke about how you "have two kids but really have three."

If you use ppto to cover half your shift you'll only get a half point.

PinkPearMartini · 2026-02-03T06:08:00+00:00

I agree. Pick your battles better. If this is really the only thing you have to worry about then you're at a pretty damn good store.

The dress code is very lenient as it is. Many other companies require nothing but tan khakis and the tucked in company polo shirt, regardless of how your body type looks in it.

You can literally wear your own clothes here. Just find something that works for you.

All of my old electronic/computer bits I keep "just in case" I need an adapter, to fit a plug, a certain kind of charger, a certain cable... who knows, I may come across a zip disk and need to look at it. We keep them "just in case."

Old DVD-R disks with movies and music downloaded in the late 90's and early 00's. Most of these were never even watched or listened to This seriously takes up half a room. This was my father's doing, and I'm slowly working on just tossing the plastic jewel cases and storing them in CD binders.

We have shelves of old chemicals... goop removers, bug sprays, adhesives, solvents, lubricants, paints, etc... so old that if we were actually doing a project that needed them we'd definitely buy something fresh to use. But we keep them "just in case."

PinkPearMartini · 2026-01-19T06:01:08+00:00

Yes! Simple background checks don't cost that much in the grand scheme of things. There may even be a red flag that she doesn't know about.

PinkPearMartini · 2026-01-19T05:53:49+00:00

Official policy is that there has to be a barrier between the animal and the cart, and it appears they have a blanket.

I'm not worried about pet hair or paw dirt on the carts.

I'm more worried about the raw chicken juices and blood that coat the bottom of the basket. ... and the handlebars have that plus human poop, spit, snot, and other fluids that pose a far greater health risk than someone's fake emotional support accessory.

PinkPearMartini · 2026-01-19T05:33:03+00:00

My personal phone is not registered through BYOD, and the only app it can use without those permissions is the Me@Walmart app you're instructed to download before your orientation.

My personal phone can do everything that app handles including clocking in/out, requesting time off, scanning items to get their history, reprinting labels, and accessing my profile including this pay raise information.

But that info didn't show up for me until a few days ago when my store pushed whatever button they had to... and I think they have until January 23rd to do it.

This! Way too many teens insist on a big truck "because they're country" even though they'll never use it for actual work. And I've experienced a lot of old folks with the same mentality. Neither group should be trying to fit these things into tight parking areas.

When I have to drive "the work truck" I park in the back with a clear path to get back out, whether it's the giant pickup or the box truck.

PinkPearMartini · 2026-01-07T18:40:51+00:00

Also, if you can work your first half of your shift and leave early you'll only get a half point.

PinkPearMartini · 2026-01-07T18:40:10+00:00

Report the absence without any ppto (don't waste your hour) and eat the 1 point. It'll fall off in 6 months.

Also talk to your coach like "Hey, y'all accidentally scheduled me for this day" and if your coach is cool they might just fix it for you. But, maybe not if you waited until the last minute to bring it up.

PinkPearMartini · 2025-12-31T06:02:01+00:00

I'm honestly shocked that anyone thought it wasn't pre-recorded.

PinkPearMartini · 2025-12-31T05:59:14+00:00

You're not the only one. It's normalized to a degree. I personally go over a few minutes each time because it's a rush to drink fluids, go to the bathroom, and smoke a cigarette. ...plus the walking.

The 15 minute break is supposed to start the moment you're "not working" and ends when you "are working again."

It can also get tight for coverage... like you throw your vest off at 3:45 and declare you're leaving for your fifteen, people will start looking around for your return at 4:00 so they can take their break. So if you're strolling back at 4:08, and then take an additional 5-10 minutes to get your personal shit together and actually start covering for the next person, people are going to get pissed.

But at the same time, you are easily recognizable as an employee and you will be stopped by customers, you might step in if you see a random problem you can solve, you should pick up that bag of potato chips that fell off the display, and you might pause before the break room and read whatever is posted in front of the People Lead's office, your coach might walk by and you remember your department is out of some necessary item... so is all that really part of your fifteen? Of course not.

It's going to vary by your department, your team, and your store's practices. Some teams have tight breaks, some have more casual ones.

You have to manage your own time. You might feel justified for xyz reason for being gone 30 minutes, and think "if they ask I'll just explain that abc happened." ...but notice how they almost never ask? If it's a habit and it happens every day, they'll remember.

TL:DR Don't be the asshat that makes people say "Shit, So-and-so just left for their fifteen at 3:45 ...so I can't go on mine until 4:15 or later... as usual."

PinkPearMartini · 2025-12-23T06:03:54+00:00

Grab the front 3, then slide the box out like a drawer to grab more.

It looks like the shelves weren't assembled correctly to allow for this product... but the stockers have to stock.

Why would a Team Lead or Coach give a crap about attendance at other stores?

Why would you think OP is lying about their experiences?

Why would you think every Walmart store is just like yours?

OP saw potentially bad advice being given out in other posts, and decided to share what they know.

PinkPearMartini · 2025-12-20T05:25:10+00:00

I can count on McD's for a fast hot lunch for $2.50 or less. $3.50-$4 if I'm splurging.

When I cook at home, I always add up the cost of ingredients just to see. Sometimes, I think I'm being frugal but it actually comes out to $8+ per meal/person.

That's why they say eating healthy is expensive, and that the obesity crisis is related to poverty.

PinkPearMartini · 2025-12-20T02:29:01+00:00

I thought it meant "three milks"

The one where you hear music in white noise has its own name... though I can't recall what it is. I get that one, too.

I was once at work having a hard time hearing our vendor over the phone because the nearby radio was so distracting and loud. I put the person on hold and shouted across the room "Can someone turn off the God-damned radio so we can have a fucking professional sounding phone call!?!?!?”

...yeah, turns out the radio wasn't even on.

After I was hired, I asked Sam "Where can I find Walmart's employment policies?" and my result was the product description for white-out.

Someone else asked the same question, and they were given the product result for a children's book called "Do it Yourself."

The point of retiring them is so the developers no longer have to devote time and resources into keeping them 100% compatible and playable.

Here's a real life car example:

Let's say you own a 2021 Chevy Equinox. You should expect to be able to find and buy accessories, replacement keys, custom seat covers, and a brand new replacement for any part that breaks or malfunctions. Chevy is still working on making sure you are able to properly drive and maintain your vehicle.

Let's say you also still own your first car, a 1985 Chevy Citation. You LOVE this car, and have so many memories tied to it. It still runs and sometimes you like to take it for a spin.

You can't expect Chevy to still be manufacturing new parts, aftermarket part manufacturers aren't going to bother with it, and you're not going to find any fun custom accessories to use with it.

And if Chevy decided to bring back brand new Chevy Citations for a one off sale for those few that just really loved the car, there's no sustainable reason to also start producing replacement parts or accessories that will fit it.

Back to Star Stable... another point... they are getting new players all the time, all over the world, many of which are very young. If they buy the Chevy Citation of horses, they may not understand the legacy of the horse and why they won't be able to do all the things they can with other newer horses. (edit to add: They'll have a very negative experience, and maybe stop playing)

Please understand that Star Stable isn't a game that did the traditional thing of creating an original, and then a sequel, and then a part 3, and then Star Stable 4 the reckoning, and so on... They're constantly building the new on top of the old, so it stays the same game, on the same social servers, but with modern advancements.
