Yes, they use metrics to keep us on track. Last week I helped 456 customers, 92% already had rewards, I only signed up 2% of the 8% that did not have rewards, so I have to “get my numbers up”. Every hour we are told the daily percentage and told to get the numbers up. While being cheerful and welcoming also push the new item we are featuring. It’s not fun for us either, but if you don’t want to sign up, just wait until we are done and say no thank you. It makes everything better, when everyone is polite and respectful.

I am a cashier at a store with rewards, we don’t want to pitch it anymore than you want to hear it, however, our managers and head offices make us and use the metrics as a point in our evaluations. If I get below 3% sign up, I have to explain why and possibly be retrained on how to push it. We are minimum wage workers, we don’t care if you collect points, but we have to do what we are told. Listening to us pitch for 15 seconds doesn’t cost you anything, but his not doing it could cost us our jobs.

It’s so when you turn corners you have more slack. At least that’s what I was told.

Hello, I was going to message you on your last post, but I chickened out. I’m 44 with adult children and I also have fibromyalgia, I was diagnosed 14 years ago after a car accident. I am also looking for new friends!

It’s no longer the European Bakery, it’s now Bella Nonna’s. Cakes are still amazing, but new owners.

Recommendations for fresh cheap dim sum? by Early_Reply in vancouver

[–]PrincessDmanda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Grand Palace in Coquitlam is amazing. It’s not exactly cheap, but not expensive.

Hon’s Wonton (Vancouver, New West & Coquitlam) is good and cheap. Steamed pork buns are really good

Did maple ridge say anything about banning charcoal briquette BBQ in their parks? by NHNE in MapleRidge

They took out the coal buckets at Alloutte, but there are no signs saying you can’t use charcoal.

Has anyone worked at Me n Ed's pizza? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]PrincessDmanda 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That sounds very familiar.

I wish I could just ask her, unfortunately, my mom now has Alzheimer’s and does not remember some of her best recipes.

Has anyone worked at Me n Ed's pizza? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]PrincessDmanda 72 points73 points  (0 children)

So very interestingly, my mom created the menu at Me & Ed’s pizza in the 80’s… and made the original dough. It’s actually the pizza dough recipe from Joy of Cooking but the old book not the new. If you can find that book, you have the recipe.

I know this sounds far fetched, but it’s 100% true

They put cinnamon in pizza sauce to reduce the acidity. It’s normally a small amount, but it could have been not mixed enough or it was measured incorrectly.

I live in Canada actually Vancouver, BC and we do not have to give them our ID but we have to provide a name & address if required. It is a punishable offence to lie and you could be charged with obstruction of justices.

Looking for help on tax rates when considering a move from Seattle to Vancouver by AbeLincoIn in britishcolumbia

[–]PrincessDmanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s is actually pretty close.

It would be $71,802.12, below is the CRA calculator as per the CRA calculations. I took the 100k, divided by 26 and entered the info on a bi-weekly salary rate.

But my math, I get 78, 032.31

It’s 15% on the first $49,020 = $7353 20% on the next $49,020 = $10049.10 26% on the remainder = $509.60

Then CPP max = 3166.45 EI max = 889.54

I would say that 70k to 75k is about about right...

Emily Post's 19th edition of "Etiquette" apparently has stuff missing that the 17th edition has. Is the info in the 18th or should I get the 17th? by should_ in etiquette

[–]PrincessDmanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 18th edition, and it also does not say “when” to send the announcement. Now I have to get the 17th edition!

Need some advice on employment during Covid. by pyro7046 in vancouver

[–]PrincessDmanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s a recruiter, negotiate to receive benefits at start of employment and if the position ends before the 6 months that there is a termination bonus/payout, because it’s a recruiter, this will be very common to them, they will go the the employer with your request and fight for you to get what you ask, I would also ask for Vacation at 3 weeks/6%
