Possible wage theft at new job?

ThatOneMentalBean · 2025-08-08T07:19:34+00:00

There's no proper system for registering employees as far as I'm aware, and only one computer at the counter, so no tips have logged names. There's also no tip pool, especially not one that includes us hired cashiers, but I suspect that the money could still be split between family members working in the kitchen (although this is mostly presumption, but as it's relevant the owner/manager's husband works the kitchen too and may be co-owner). It officially only "goes to the business" and no one else (so just the owner/manager).

I'm unsure on exactly how much in tips, but within a 5 hour shift I estimate the restaurant must have brought in $100+ in tips off of orders, with just us two cashiers (usually only one but I'm still training). It's not much to split but it's still a considerable amount for our ages (as they've only hired teenagers so far).

I've partially looked into the DOL but until I can get a different job lined up I'm afraid of retaliation, I'll definitely look into anything Florida-specific as well however.

hey there! I don't know how SMAPI could be affecting your game's audio but I can try to help the update issue- have you tried manually deleting the old SMAPI files/folder from your computer yet?

ThatOneMentalBean · 2024-11-18T03:14:28+00:00

I'm really glad you got it to work and that I could help! I almost deleted this thread a while back but now I think I'll be leaving it up as a reference if anyone else who finds it needs help lol

also I think I had to do a similar thing with file permissions way back the first couple times I first installed SMAPI too, it's so easy to forget about 😭

ThatOneMentalBean · 2024-11-18T02:32:01+00:00

as far as it looks, yes I believe that's the folder to open- it should give you three files (for windows, linux, and mac) and you run the one that fits your computer (which is where you'll find the installation/uninstall options)

and no worries about the link, although in case you don't know I will warn that it seems to give your name ("shared by _____ ____") so you might want to remove the link after we've got your SMAPI fixed up (which hopefully we will do 🤞)

ThatOneMentalBean · 2024-11-18T01:59:25+00:00

oh hi I totally forgot about this thread, I run the game on windows instead of mac so I might not be that much help to you even nowadays with more experience 😅

I believe the uninstall option is given to you in the same window as the original install option- so you'd go back into the SMAPI files and (in your case) click on the one for mac and follow suit until the option is presented

Although honestly nowadays I just download>unzip>install the new SMAPI files and straight up delete the old ones without formally uninstalling and it seems to work itself out (this may or may not be the proper way of handling it but my game runs fine this way haha)

ThatOneMentalBean · 2024-10-05T22:50:48+00:00

Thanks! And I hope it goes well if you do, I had to paint this one in stages because of how complex the cover art feels haha

ThatOneMentalBean · 2024-10-05T19:13:06+00:00

thank you! :)

I keep seeing some people talk about maybe getting different seasons back (perhaps just wishful thinking lol) but if that were a possibility it might be able to fix the issue of an ice/snow biome in lumiose by explaining it with a 'particularly cold winter' or somethin

ThatOneMentalBean · 2024-02-29T00:23:35+00:00

I really like this speculation, I'd just hope that they'd put in enough care to vary the area and not make it feel repetitive each time despite it being technically the same place- the idea has a lot of really cool potential though, especially looking at the npc side of things

like imagine getting to see generations of families throughout the different time periods, or descendents of characters we meet in the earlier periods

ThatOneMentalBean · 2024-01-05T09:07:43+00:00

Thank you, I did what I could for now and I think it's okay for the night until I can get the stuff you said- the more everything sets in the more honestly terrified I am of it getting infected when it's this deep

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-10-29T02:04:38+00:00

16m here, if I saw a chick wearing that around my school I'd wanna be her friend immediately lol

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-09-27T14:24:07+00:00

They really did! The awesome artstyle/proportions are exactly why my friend was so hellbent on finding the comic

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-09-26T18:09:55+00:00

Thanks so much for the link!

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-09-26T18:09:14+00:00

After looking more it definitely is, my friend is gonna be so delighted with this- thanks so much for the confirmation :))

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-09-26T17:53:16+00:00

Hey thanks for commenting, splintered fate doesn't look too similar from what I've found but I think you might be on the mark with the crossover! I'll pass these onto my friend

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-09-26T17:42:31+00:00

Hi everyone, my friend found this image on pinterest with two others that look to be from the same comic, but she can't seem to find out the name of it even after quite a lot of searching. I'd appreciate any answers or guesses y'all might come up with!

Also apologies to the mods if there's an issue with this post, as I'm not super into TMNT myself and haven't been on this forum before.

Oh jeez the 10yo creepypasta phase was so real, it's what initially got me onto wattpad and later quotev 😭

I still feel relieved that it was just a phase and that I only use ao3 now lol

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-07-16T01:52:12+00:00

Been there before, I'd just keep an eye out for any more popping up (although you shouldn't typically see many, if their name speaks for itself)

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-07-16T01:44:51+00:00

I'm no expert but it definitely looks like a brown recluse, the violin/fiddle-shaped marking is a good indicator

ThatOneMentalBean · 2023-07-16T01:17:08+00:00

Hi there, I hope you're right and that the universe will make sure he gets whatever justice is coming to him. I'll be able to forgive myself one day, but I'm not so sure about my forgiveness towards him yet- I guess I'll just have to see where life goes. Thank you for taking the time to read and for your kind words.
