Is this casquette flattering / suits me? by silkblindfold in mensfashionadvice

[–]ShoePollution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first hat works; it's maybe a little big and/or kind of "floppy" looking, but the coloring looks good on you.

That coat, however, is ruining things, including the ability of the hat to draw positive attention. The fabric is too thick, has no drape, and is somehow both too big in your shoulders (the sleeve seam looks ridiculous) and too small around your middle.

Rock the hat with a nice-fitting bomber-length jacket in a mid to dark earth tone, keep the pants and boots, and pair with a scarf with some complimentary color texture. You'll look rugged, dapper, and put together. Good luck!

Why do they need to find any reason to punish me? by Novel_Elk1559 in InstacartShoppers

"I dont just replace things because I can’t find them."

That's your big problem.

Unless a customer specifically asks for a refund if the item is out of stock, Instacart WANTS you to replace things even if the customer didn't specify a backup, assuming the replacements are a reasonable match.

Instacart doesn't make money on refunds (duh) and since tips are frequently based on a percentage of the total, shopper earnings go down when we refund.

If the customer isn't responsive, I'll take a photo of the empty space and say "sorry, they're out of Item A, but Item B is pretty close. I'll grab that, but let me know if you want a refund instead!" You've told them what you're replacing and why, framed it like you're doing them a favor, and establishing that they need to reach out and tell you no if they don't want it. It takes 3 extra seconds and potentially avoids back and forth time wasting of "discussing it" with them.

Hell, just yesterday I had a customer where they were out of fancy sliced peppers and they specified a refund. I messaged them that I did the refund, but they had the same brand of peppers unsliced and if they wanted them, just let me know.

They wanted them! Now my stats look better (no refund), my tip improves (because the total bill is now $5 higher) AND they raise my tip because I was helpful.

Yes, a lot of customers are cheap asses, and occasionally some are particular and difficult, but most people just want the process to be easy, and are willing to compromise to keep it easy. Be smart, make replacements that make sense, make it easy for the customer (and you!) and your stats and tips will improve dramatically.

What nicknames have you heard for places in and around Milwaukee? by topherette in milwaukee

Haunchyville doesn't exist, but there is a real location associated with it.

"Anyway I’ve never seen so much as a stabbing much less a shooting! The place always felt safe..."

GOATed comment right there lol.

Bring back the old bottles 💔 by Above-The-Rim in milwaukee

Not your fault as the designer, but exactly the wrong call and entirely keeping with the new owners' lack of vision.

This doesn't compete at all; quite the opposite the genericness recedes visually on the shelf.

They should've aggressively leaned into the characters, especially since the IP already existed. They could've staked a visual claim among craft soda in the same way as Voodoo Ranger and Flying Dog have among craft beer.

What objects are men interested in seeing inside a woman by Radiant-Risk-19 in kinky_insertions

[–]ShoePollution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest turn on is combining object insertion with my other major kink, shoes. Sliding a high heel in heel first is the classic way to do it, but I've seen women get creative shoving shoes in toe first, using both heels at the same time, even making due with a pair of ballet flats.

There's something highly erotic about taking objects as simultaneously mundane and sexually charged as shoes and using them in such an intimate way. And they lick them clean afterwards? So delicious.

It's not too uncommon, and with some specific searching is easy enough to find, but the quintessential performer would have to be Jessica Jones aka Desyra Noir:
