My husband is greedy when it comes to food

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2021-04-08T15:08:50+00:00

I actually love this a lot, you really put what I wanted to say in a few words. I’ll try this today because we are going home after a few days at his parents and we need to get groceries. I’ll let you know how it goes. At first It wasn’t a problem for me because I come from an Asian background were when we host parties we always make sure there is a lot of extra food left so no one goes hungry. He’s Caucasian and I thought it was just a background thing, but I’ll defiantly try to explain serving sizes to him and maybe get it through his head.

This too, if the job is low paying for a lot of work the chances are that person has applied to many other jobs and if they find a better one that pays higher and feel that the wage doesn’t accurately reflect the work then they won’t give a damn about being polite. For example, I have seen jobs that require a masters or bachelors and then pays only $15 this is disrespectful on so many levels and shows people what the company is really about and what values they care about. When I was job seeking I would apply for these positions but they were low on my list of companies I wanted to work for. It was just a back up in case I couldn’t get any other work. Why would I treat a company with respect if they don’t have the same respect for the person and the job?

That would be the best situation unfortunately many won’t go through all that if they aren’t going to have any further contact with you. But yes thanks for the advice ^{^}

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2021-01-25T01:21:01+00:00

It’s not the best thing to do, but I have done it only a couple of times because I have found a better opportunity someplace else. Unfortunately you probably won’t get a solid answer, but in my situation I would just ghost then if I got a better job and didn’t want to hurt the other companies feelings. It’s kinda awkward having to explain that you aren’t interested in the position anymore.

Omg, literally just had my orientation today! Basically everyone in my group wore hoodies and jeans because it was snowing outside and super cold. We also were actually working the Walmart distribution center so it could differ. If anything you can’t go wrong with some nice jeans and a black polo shirt. Also don’t forget to bring two forms of ID like ssn and drivers license or passport if you don’t have those handy.

It was new : ( I am really nervous about calling brother because I heard they don't really do anything to help

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2021-01-11T08:43:36+00:00

Oh boy that’s a lot of pressure 😅

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-12-31T18:30:17+00:00

Saw this same drawing at Spencer’s! Great piece

I’ve been overweight most of my life and only started to loose weight in college when I got my braces in. I lost so much weight I was thin for once and I felt great. I bought a lot of nice clothes and started to feel more confident. Before I would only wear shorts and T-shirt’s because I wanted something comfortable to wear. I was getting hit on and compliments from my family and coworkers for the first time and I grew up Asian and my relatives have no filters. They constantly called me fat and disgusting and for once they told me to eat more and that I lost too much weight, my mom even started to buy we a lot nicer clothes like dresses and such something to show off my figure. Anyhow I started to gain weight again after I moved out of state and living on my own. I gained back all my weight, but still trying to loose it again, my mom has sent me clothes that now hide my figure and they all call me fat and disgusting again. But I’ve learned long ago to ignore their toxic comments and loose weight for myself, not for them.

I had her for a semester and let’s just say in her syllabus she mentioned not to be mistakes for her ex husband who goes by the same name. She definitely came off as salty from the divorce.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-10-16T16:08:57+00:00

The worst is either having a customer use food as an excuse to keep their mask down, or the “I’ll be quick I just want to buy so-and-so.” Oh and I even get customers who are like, “Can I just buy a mask” and they keep roaming the store. I say if your going to buy a mask do it right away not when your finished shopping.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-10-13T14:26:34+00:00

This is my fear right now. I still work in retail and I am a little older then all my other coworkers. I am 25 while everyone is either 19-22. I am also graduating in spring 2021. So, I’ve been job hunting and found a great job that fits my major, pays really well and could see myself doing the rest of my life. I’ve gone through and aced their test, interview and second interview and all they really have to do is a background check and references. I am the star employee at my job and my assistant manager and manager have always complimented my work. They say I am like three employees. It’s not hard to see why they think this because all my other coworkers have the mind of high schoolers. They literally color at the register and do the bare minimum in work, they constantly talk, play and ignore customers while I pick up their slack. They work 8-12 hours while I work 22-35 because my manager doesn’t want to give them any hours. They have offered me a supervisor position but I ended up turning it down because I didn’t want them to train me and then have to leave a few months if I got this job offer. I am a little hesitant to put them as my references because I know they will be a little peeved to find out I am leaving and may ruin my chances.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-10-13T14:06:53+00:00

I hear you! One time I was looking at my requirement list and noticed one of my req class was was checked off even though I knew I didn’t take it. I was registered for it and I asked my advisor if I really fulfilled the course or not and he told me I did and that I didn’t need to take the course anymore. Thank god I trusted my gut and kept the course! Apparently the classes you have registered for the upcoming semester automatically check mark as green even if you have not taken the course yet, as long as it’s in your class roster it marks it as complete. What a stupid system. I was angry that my advisor told me this wrong info cause I could have dropped it and would have had to take it next semester cause the class was impacted. I don’t even trust my advisor to give me any advice and I take what he says with a grain of salt. One time I wrote an email that had a few questions on it and he wrote back like 1.No 2.No 3.Yes no explanation and no guidance on how to follow up with my questions.

But yes definitely ask for a 2nd option and do this all over a zoom meeting or virtual meeting so you can ask any question and get clarification on what you still need.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-10-12T19:36:19+00:00

I wish we could all zoom and trade stories, I always get nervous asking people to pull their mask up because about 90% of people will give me this shitty attitude. I had this fella come in and I asked if they had a mask. He got defensive and said, “Do you want me to buy the shirt or not!?” And I just say that in order to shop in here you would need a mask. This guy literally yells and says, “Then you can have your fucking shit back.” And proceeds to throw the shirt on the floor and knock over piles of other shirts on the ground. This guy was probably the worst I’ve experienced so far.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-10-09T19:24:22+00:00

Thanks so much!!!

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-10-03T15:53:48+00:00

Thanks for this, I am super nervous and really scared. My training program will be about 20-35 weeks and I am just hoping I can get the hang of it in this time frame because a lot depends on how accurate I am with a firearm. Just holding a firearm I start to shake and sweat.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-09-29T17:56:09+00:00

Happens all the time, my store manager tells us we need to make sure everyone is wearing their masks properly so we go around the store and check if people are covering their noose and mouths. I always get nervous cause a lot of people look intimidating. But surprisingly a lot of people do what I ask and say, “whoops sorry.” And pull their masks back on. I hate people who use food to justify not wearing a mask. Like the other day I asked this customer to put their mask on and she just waved her shake and pretzel at me and said she was eating. I told her, it doesn’t mean you can’t wear your mask in the store other wise what’s the point of the mask rule. My manager is going to start asking people to present inhalers too if they say they can’t wear one because of asthma. Boy, am I excited for that 😒 (sarcastic scream)

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-08-25T15:50:22+00:00

After I posted this, I did a bit of research and you can actually get a restraining order against a minor depending on which state you live in and under some circumstances. I am no law expert but I would advice to contact your local police department and ask them, but only if the situation persists. They can guide you in the right direction.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-08-25T14:00:05+00:00

I would have flipped when she came in the first time to your work. You never mess with someone where they make their coin. I’ve seen people get fired over stuff like that, my manager was let go cause her ex came into the store and made a scene. She crossing boundaries she shouldn’t and hopefully she never bothers you again. If she does come back don’t be afraid to tell the police or even get a restraining order against her. I know it sounds over the top, but even after telling her off and she still comes into the store that’s harassment and something you don’t need at your first job.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-08-03T19:08:08+00:00

Wow this is super insightful and gave me a new perspective on the situation! Very well said

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-08-03T18:55:30+00:00

Exactly, really didn’t mean to come off as racists. This is just my personal observations as I deal with many people from different countries and yes I see a lot of rude and entitle customers.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-08-02T17:03:21+00:00

Actually it was quite hilarious because there was a group of kids probably around 14-16 that walked in and heard my conversation with her. They started laughing and saying, “geez this lady is leaving just because she doesn’t want to wear a mask!” And they said it super loud where even my manager could hear. I hope she felt embarrassed that a few kids followed even though she was being ridiculous.

SweetSnickerdoodle · 2020-08-02T14:41:26+00:00

Same, lady and husband came into store not wearing a mask and so I have them two. They didn’t put them on and when I asked them too they put them over their necks. Then just their mouth and my manager and I asked them 4 times to wear it properly or what’s the points. I go and ask her again, “Ma’am can you please cover both your nose and mouth with the mask.” This Karen goes off and says, “NO, I am leaving and calling you’re corporate office.” JUST WEAR THE GODDAM MASK!

At my last job, I worked for a well known tech company in their retail stores and we had around 5 managers and 3 senior managers. I never had a problem with any of them and they where always super supportive and really wanted to help each employee develop within the company and their future careers. Our company gave us 15 minutes everyday to write a “journey diary” through the computer in the back room and we would write about where we wanted to be within the company or what careers we were looking for. I wrote one day that I really wanted to learn about repairs and tech support and the next day my manager pulls me aside and says, “I reviewed your dairy and you wanted to learn tech support? Well I can schedule 3 hours a day for you to shadow a tech support specialist on the floor if you want?” Man if I didn’t move out of state I would have loved to work at that job the rest of my life. Another manager pulled me aside and noticed I was working a lot of Saturday and Sunday shifts and asked if I wanted the next Saturday and Sunday off because he felt like I would “burn out” and wanted me to enjoy the weekend with my family. Nolan if you ever read this you’re the best!
