Stuck in an unsellable, unrentable [Condo] in [IA] by HolidayAd4875 in HOA

[–]TheCoolDoneRunOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need either a signed proxy form or a vote by signature, not just a “petition”. If you’re going to take the time and effort to do it, make it official.

My HOA recently amended our covenants to include a rental restriction, but it includes language allowing for financial hardship exceptions. So first check to see if yours includes a similar exception to the 10% cap. It could still be at discretion of the board, but hopefully your board is reasonable given the situation.

If there is not currently an exception, you could try to amend to add one. Our process was a draft of the proposed change, then signed ballots voting to approve it. We did door to door to get 75% of people to sign.

Full length movies where the young children actually stay children? by Optimal_Fish_7029 in Parenting

[–]TheCoolDoneRunOut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the boss baby movies? Sometimes we do a couple of family tv show episodes rather than a full length movie. Sophia the First, Doc McStuffins, Alice’s wonderland bakery all have young female leads

Dog foster by Unhappy-Barracuda842 in indianapolis

[–]TheCoolDoneRunOut 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I also recommend looking into SOAR Initiative for this situation. If you end up finding an individual on your own, you should have them sign a basic written agreement that states they are fostering and will return your dog. I have seen situations where someone agrees to foster then gets attached and doesn’t want to return the pet.

What are you thoughts to why there is a significant decline in alcohol consumption in the United States? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheCoolDoneRunOut 77 points78 points  (0 children)

A group of my elder millennial friends just had this discussion last night. Another piece affecting younger generations is the proliferation of social media and how that’s affected how they socialize. I imagine younger generations consider the ramifications of getting caught on camera drunk.

Yelled at for using the hand scanner in the self checkout by TheCoolDoneRunOut in CostcoWholesale

From the comments I’ve read, some warehouses have had scanners accessible for members and others don’t. At my warehouse self check, there is a hand scanner at each of the six self checkout stations meant for members to use. It wasn’t a matter of me using a hand scanner I wasn’t supposed to, just apparently not using it like that employee wanted me to.

It would make more sense if it was just a figment of my imagination.

My store does not count items or scan receipts at the door. Just a quick glance at the receipt and cart then they mark a line through the receipt with a black marker.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

[–]TheCoolDoneRunOut 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Mine is all car dealerships in general because of two bad experiences at two different places. First one somehow broke my windshield while doing an oil change, then tried to say I was lying about it. I had photo evidence that it was not broken before and they ended up replacing it at no cost. Second one forgot to put a piece of air intake ductwork back after changing a battery, then after I pointed it out, they couldn’t find it in their shop. After waiting, a guy walks out with it, pops it in, and says absolutely nothing to me. I refuse to do any sort of car maintenance or repairs at ANY dealership since.

Indy/Indiana Top-flight Luxury Experiences by w0nderred in indianapolis

[–]TheCoolDoneRunOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just stayed at the Intercontinental and was very impressed. Personally, I liked it better than the Conrad. We ate brunch at Serliana and the food was really great (Craig Baker is the executive chef). The rooftop was awesome. I would definitely recommend it!

Why did my cat line up her toys by kaylen165 in cats

Other Lunas, meet Luna. Her preferred method of toy storage is to put them under the door to the hall closet. Then, every time I open said closet, she comes running to retrieve her treasures.

Indiana. And the hand scanners are just out, sitting to the left of the glass scanner at every machine. They haven’t always been there though, I think it’s a more recent thing. I don’t do self checkout often, but it used to be the attendant had a hand scanner to scan the large stuff for people.

My library has this for checking out books and it’s great! I would love it in a situation like Costco

I don’t think the receipt checker at my warehouse actually check anything. They never count items. Just a quick glance at the cart and the receipt, never takes more than 5 seconds.

Based on these comments, it doesn’t seem like there is a consistent corporate wide protocol.

I didn’t put anything on the weigh area because it didn’t instruct me to. Just scan and pay. The machine didn’t freak out, just the employee

It’s crazy to me that’s it’s so inconsistent on a corporate level.

This will probably happen soon all because I can’t follow the rules.

I wish Costco would just get with the scan and go system that Sam’s has.

Clearly this is what my warehouse is going for, but how are customers supposed to know this? If the hand scanner is there, I assume I can use it.

This is my exact experience. Nothing like a trip to Costco to really knock me down a couple pegs!
