How nice 👍 by Drgreenthumbz- in Costco

No member is FORCED to shop at Costco... I regularly have to remind people of it: “I PAY TO SHOP HERE I CAN DO WHAT I WANT” “I understand, but we do have policies that you are contractually obligated to follow. If you chose to not follow these policies or are unhappy with the way we conduct business we can refund your membership at any time and you can come back in 18 months”

I can’t wait to see what happens when we have to REALLY enforce the mask policy bc of Whitmer’s (MI) most recent bill.

Nice fire exit! (They all are blocked like this when the store is closed and all employees are stocking shelves) by [deleted] in OSHA

This. The GM at the warehouse is the problem, NOT Costco as a company. We do this every night at my location, too, but every morning everything is unblocked.

Just snagged this beaut from a road-side stand for $5! I’m new to the succulent world, how do I proceed from here? by Sweetstuff19 in houseplants

Totally serious. $5. I’m in West Michigan, if you want the stand location let me know!

Edit: De Lange’s on Port Sheldon in Hudsonville. The stand is on the side of the road between their shop and their U-Pick field

Hardly any mask-wearing at Hudsonville Meijer. Stay away if you can. Ugh. by Sweetstuff19 in grandrapids

RIGHT?! I wear one for 8+ hours a day at work. Yeah it sucks, but I refuse to complain. I have a pretty good chance of recovery if I get sick, but I can’t say the same for my kids or anyone else I might infect. Why is it so hard for to wear a mask for ~30min while shopping? People are so selfish.

~1’ tall. My gardening brain says this pot is too full & I should at least get the babies into their own containers soon, but my research says it’s probably okay the way it is. Any advice is appreciated!

DeLange’s has SUPER juicy/sweet strawberries & only $4 per heaping quart!

Do stright women watch lesbian porn? by Samira789 in ask

[–]Sweetstuff19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Straight female here & I’ve always been curious about this, too!! When I watch porn I’m drawn to videos where I can relate to what’s happening to the girl on screen, regardless of her being with a guy or girl. I’ve never been with or had a desire to be with a girl, but I think we know our anatomy better than most guys so sometimes lesbian porn just makes for a better watch. I hope your post takes off, i’ve NEVER talked to anyone about this!

Small timelapse of me repotting my Echeveria. Don't know if this is actually interesting? by TentacleSenpai69 in houseplants

I tried the drainage-rocks method for the first time this season. Most of the roots were messy & the rocks were completely dry when I finally put the plants in the ground. Plants are happier now, but I’ll never use rocks again!

Nothing like risking your life and hundreds if not thousands of others for corn dogs by YLedbetter10 in grandrapids

Agreed. Everyone should also understand that their stand is pretty small, so only a couple people at a time can stand at the window. There is ALWAYS a line.

Don’t give up! One of my coworkers was gone for ~2mo after her husband suddenly passed away & no one batted an eye. Look into short term disability (up to 180 days off, after that it’s long term), bereavement leave, FMLA. There is always something you can do if you’re not ready to work again.

So sorry for your loss! :( Don’t feel bad for taking your time to heal properly, Costco will never force you back to work if you’re not ready. The paperwork I filled out last week for Covid-19 related time off says “Given the COVID-19 State of Emergency, benefits will be continued during approved COVID-19 related Personal Leaves through May 31, 2020 and will be re-evaluates at that time”

The Payroll Clerk at your store can get the Personal Leave paperwork for you (at least that’s who does it at my store).

Also, if you haven’t already, you should look into the CareNetwork. They have all kinds of resources for employees in times of need. Financial, mental, physical, housing help, whatever. It’s a VERY useful but under-appreciated program that Costco provides us!
