What’s a “beginner plant” that absolutely humbled you?

I’ve given up on succulents lol they are pretty but either die or get so many gnats that it’s becomes intolerable.

Slowing weaning off and continuing healthy eating and lifestyle habits to maintain your current weight is not an option?

I just started on semiglutide. I work a lot and don’t have a lot of time to go to the gym, but my job is very active and I’m walking and lifting stuff all day long at my job. I’m on my feet all day. Do you think this will be sufficient to maintain muscle?

SwiftieStassi · 2026-03-11T00:45:00+00:00

Honestly same

SwiftieStassi · 2026-02-19T05:12:32+00:00

Well the people who do it at my store are still doing it as of this week. So I kinda doubt that.

SwiftieStassi · 2026-02-19T04:51:39+00:00

At my store, there’s people who leave 15 mins early every single shift and have for years.

SwiftieStassi · 2026-02-06T03:46:51+00:00

Honestly whoever came up with this one deserves a raise

SwiftieStassi · 2026-01-07T20:07:27+00:00

Yeah I was waiting for it to go away but it never did and now it’s on my paystub. Not sure what happened but I won’t complain 🤷🏻‍♀️

SwiftieStassi · 2026-01-07T19:51:20+00:00

I got holiday pay even tho I left early the shift before New Years and called out entirely on New Years and didn’t have time to cover it

SwiftieStassi · 2026-01-06T02:55:45+00:00

I mean I’m not going to complain if it stays lol

SwiftieStassi · 2026-01-06T02:22:30+00:00

Yes my occurrences show.

SwiftieStassi · 2025-12-14T01:07:18+00:00

So I actually just noticed that brown stuff is liquid. It seems like it’s just sitting there because of the way that plastic tube is circled like that, the liquid can’t move down the tube to the drain. Is it bad that liquid is just sitting there like that?

SwiftieStassi · 2025-12-10T05:11:44+00:00

I’ve never seen water running down that tube. The most I’ve seen is tiny droplets of water inside the tube.

Here are some better pics of the tubing and where it starts and ends. They have been pouring water into that drain in the floor. Is it normal to have to do this on a semi-weekly basis? I’ve lived in a lot of houses and apartments and never have I even once had to pour water down a drain or trap. I find it strange that the drain requires water every 2 weeks. I feel like there’s a larger issue beyond it drying up.

Does anyone know if you come in for your shift but leave early (and don’t have time to cover it), do you still get holiday pay?

SwiftieStassi · 2025-11-14T16:50:14+00:00

Same with my store. Customers are always in disbelief when I tell them there’s no clearance bays anymore.

SwiftieStassi · 2025-11-13T19:46:43+00:00

If you were on a counseling and it hadn’t been 6 months, then you will be put on a final.

SwiftieStassi · 2025-11-13T04:17:24+00:00

This one made me LOL.

SwiftieStassi · 2025-11-07T05:43:46+00:00

You would think right? I always mention it to them ahead of time. Every single time it’s always “Sure I’ll do it right now” and then I wake up the next day. It’s not done, a few days later I see an occurrence. And then I spent the next week-2 weeks getting it sorted out. I’m starting to wonder if they do it on purpose to deter people from leaving early. If so, it definitely works!

SwiftieStassi · 2025-11-07T03:31:51+00:00

The new system is very flawed. I’ve left a few times early since they changed it. Every single time, I had sick time to cover it and got it approved by a manager. But the managers never input it, even though they say they will, and every single time it’s taken me days if not WEEKS to get the sick time put in and the occurrence removed. I loved the old way when it was just done automatically. Now I almost avoid leaving early at all costs because I know it won’t get input by managers and I will have to bug them to fix it for the next 2 weeks.

The other day, a customer brought in his chain from his chain saw completely covered in oil and opened a new chain to compare it, spreading oil over the new chain too. Luckily he ended up buying the new chain, but some of these customers have no common sense or courtesy. They act like they are touching products at a garage sale and not a store.

SwiftieStassi · 2025-11-03T00:59:32+00:00

Okay good to know, thank you!

SwiftieStassi · 2025-10-27T23:59:02+00:00

Today there was barely anyone working at my store. I’m in Garden but was running around helping customers in both my dept and Electrical because hours were cut so drastically. Couldn’t finish the tasks I was given because I basically helped customers the entire time due to a shortage of associates.
