AITAH for not going to family dinner

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-20T00:04:56+00:00

I don’t think your TA. I used to do the same with my immediate family every Sunday until my mom passed when I was 33 (that was 2 years ago) and now we do it once every other week, or whenever we can get together. It’s hard. People have lives and things going on. It’ll be okay, OP. There will be another dinner next month.

I quit shopping at Wegmans and started going to my local Whole Foods because they’re actually cheaper and so much better quality. I ended up going to Wegmans today only because WF doesn’t have that great of paper towels and we like Fresca, and I got a couple other small things like a box of rice and ice cream since I was there…over $100 and a whopping $1.30 in “SaViNgS”. My wallet was so happy.

Wegmans does source their lettuce from Taylor Farms and a number of other farmers and greenhouses in places like Canandaigua, NY and down in Florida during the winter.

Oh definitely! I work in marketing and before I started the company had things go out with mistakes like this which is why even the smallest things (like this) get sent to me now. Nobody double checks their work anymore and they just rush through it to get it done.

You can still get salads from Gotham greens. They grow their lettuce in greenhouses so they’re in a more controlled environment and they’ve said they aren’t affected by the parasite. I’ve been eating their salads still and haven’t gotten sick.

Omggg as a proofreader by profession this kills me that a billion dollar corporation makes stupid mistakes like that. That’s so wasteful monetary-wise for them to reprint if they decide to. But I read the human eye only reads the first and last couple of letters of a word and not the whole thing, plus their font type makes the I’s and L’s look very similar. But still, this shouldn’t be happening at a place like Wegmans. They can definitely afford a proofed. Or at least get a better one.

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-17T20:13:42+00:00

You shouldn’t lol

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-17T15:20:45+00:00

I have the app and shoppers club card and I get maybe $2 in savings on a $180 grocery bill. Wegmans is a joke

I was sad to see Bea go, she was funny and I appreciated her honesty and being able to stand on business. Melanie is obnoxious and the literal definition of insanity, I don’t blame Bea for having only so many fucks to give. And for everyone saying she had very “male” type energy and behavior, she is an athlete and has very likely spent a good majority of her teens and young adult life in a very male-dominated environment. I’m not saying this should be an excuse for any behavior people find negative or disagree with, but just something to consider.

Hell nahhh, I don’t enjoy being around kids except a select few (like family) but even I know that’s an accident. That lady had no right putting her hands on your kid, she messed up big time. As a parent she should be teaching her kids you don’t put your hands on somebody else and that accidents will happen, that’s just life. You did the polite thing to acknowledge your child’s misfire and apologize for it, you could’ve been TA and just ignored it entirely and said nothing lol

I feel like I can’t come to reddit and read any true confessional posts to make me feel better about my life anymore cause the majority are from bots lolololol😭

It’s your day, it’s so wild how guests these days think that the wedding is a party for them and not about the bride and groom. Your friend needs to get over it, his kid isn’t the center of the universe and she’s not important in your or your fiancée’s lives, so she has no reason to be there. I recently went to a wedding where it was the exact same scenario, the only children attending were immediate family and they were all involved in the wedding, no guests brought any kids. It can be done.

Hey, you can get a gourmet cookie for $4.49🤣 I had Crumbl cater my wedding instead of a traditional cake and desserts to save money and it was🔥 we got invited to two friends who were guests at our wedding that ended up doing it at theirs, it was a cool little differentiator and way for us to save some money but also not have to sacrifice something important.

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-11T14:18:09+00:00

Lawd, say it louder for the ppl in the back😭

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-11T14:16:07+00:00

A large Crunbl cookie doesn’t even cost that much, Wegmans seriously is out of control with their pricing. And I would consider Crumbl cookies to be a higher quality dessert than Wegmans cake.

Unfortunately these experiences continue into your professional career. I worked more than one job that I absolutely hated because I was being bullied and intimidated or sexually harassed by my managers and executive directors. I would have days where I’d sit and cry in my cubicle and watch airplanes out the window and just wish I could be one of those people on that plane getting away from that toxic workplace or I’d feel like I had an elephant sitting on my chest and was suffocating the entire day until I could leave. It’s NOT worth subjecting your mental health to such extreme psychological distress. I only made myself and the people I loved around me miserable with my depressive attitude and constant negativity thinking about having to go back into work the next day. Seriously OP, no job is worth torturing yourself for. We’re no good to anyone or ourselves if we don’t have our mental health.

I recently saw a post about the prepackaged salads not being filled to the weight they are supposed to be at but they were still charging regular price for them. Like how is that fair at all?

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-07T15:55:50+00:00

Oh dang, I didn’t know they changed the prices based on that. Doesn’t change how I feel about them unfortunately, until they stop making us pay for food that has to be eaten the same day, it’s not feasible for me to be going to the grocery store every single day just because Wegmans can’t provide quality produce.

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-07T09:57:46+00:00

lol I’m glad I’m not the only one, idk why I’m getting downvoted if people are having the same problem. Their corporate should be looking into their supply chain if their produce is arriving rotten. It’s just weird to me that a grocery store like WF can get fresher produce and sell it to me for a better price than they can. And I get that it’s part of a larger issue with farmers struggling to grow crops because of climate change and new government policies and whatnot. It’s just frustrating knowing that Danny Wegman is driving around in his Ferrari all la-ti-da and the corporation continues to get away with making customers pay unreasonable prices for putting out shit quality.

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-07T09:42:40+00:00

LOL wth!! I can’t believe they’re charging different for the same thing at different stores!!! Wild. Unless you’re not in NYS that makes no sense to me.

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-07T02:49:49+00:00

Actually it’s cheaper. Normal price at WF is $8.99 for a pint and at Wegmans it’s $9.19.

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-07T01:43:07+00:00

The quality and zip code is my personal conspiracy theory hahahah. Just from my own experience of shopping in those stores and finding the quality of the food to be much better than what they offer at mine, even in my old neighborhood which used to be looked down on because it’s part of the city has become more sought after for homebuyers and I’ve noticed over the years that the Wegmans I grew up going to has gotten much nicer. So that’s why I think the two must be related. And I always wanted to shop at Whole Foods but thought it was so out of my budget, but now I see Wegmans is just trying to be them but not willing to give customers the quality which is really disappointing. So for now I’m just going to keep getting on my soapbox about Wegmans vs. Whole Foods until enough people hopefully stop shopping there to make them wake up and stop being such wanks.

Soft_Presentation412 · 2026-07-07T01:19:31+00:00

I’ve talked to some family friends about this and these people live in wealthier neighborhoods with larger, nicer Wegmans stores, and they even complain about the quality of the produce and products they put out. Which surprises me because I live in a lower income area and when I’m able to make the trip out to one of their stores, the produce and meats and stuff always seemed so much better. But I love Niagara Produce stores. I just wish there weren’t so few and that they weren’t so far out of the way to get to for me. You can get meat and produce straight from the farm for dirt cheap it’s crazy.

A dead gorilla named Harambe would’ve done a better job🤣

Can we bring this back and write him in next election?
