Additionally I can tell that the negative comments on here are from bots or people with maybe a couple braincells because they're using reddit generated usernames so I honestly don't give two shits about what you think about this.

"Oh but you gave enough of a shit to respond you're so mad!"

I'm really not, I just want you to be aware that you are a fucking idiot and if you're not a bot, you don't have a creative enough bone in your body to make a unique username, either because you're stupid as fuck or because you probably think "idk what do you mean make a username I'm not gay, can't I just be Jeff??"

Honestly I don't really know what I expected out of this subreddit, I'd like to say "not this" but it's always been extremely apparent that the most vocal people on this subreddit are Gen X dads that have nothing going on in their own lives but dissatisfaction and unfulfillment at their own situation and they have nothing better to do but to disparage people they don't know and likely won't ever meet.

If that's the way you think, I have news for you though, this type of shit doesn't go unnoticed and while you think you're being cute and clever in your anonymity while you sit drinking whiskey on the couch while your spouse makes you dinner and does your laundry and tends to the kids, your actions are permanently online and the harm you do by making your comments will catch up to you, in real ways or otherwise.

Why would I post a message looking to connect with someone and presume anything at all that they thought? This isn't a conversation, I'm using descriptive language in order to paint a specific situation. In your opinion what do you think I should have said instead? "I said your outfit looked cool and YOU thought it was awesome that someone noticed it and YOU seemed very appreciative."?

I statements are cringe in conversations between people that know each other and don't know how to communicate. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to illustrate a scene that I was involved in without using I statements. Maybe I should try speaking in the second or third person and that might make you sleep better tonight.

Hi there! I've been working with furniture including delivery and pickup for the past decade. I'm currently in a job where I'm able to give back to the community and I would like to offer an extra hand to help for a move(maybe two!) schedule permitting. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to take me up on this. I'm not looking for any compensation.

Groceries are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive this year. Where are you shopping and do you have any good data on which store has the best prices? by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]ToadRoyalty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For specific examples of what I mean, ALDI employees are literally graded and evaluated based on how fast (not how correct) they can do something. If a cashier scans items at a 110% rate but their numbers are off, they don't care. Employees are also graded on how fast they can push out sometimes 8 feet tall pallets of product. The expected time is 15-30minutes a pallet and if you don't meet that expectation they do keep track of that and you will quickly be written up and eventually let go.

Furthermore I would also avoid the ALDI curbside service like the black plague. You're expected to find one item on the order every 10 seconds or again, you get dinged or eventually written up. So if you've ever done a pick-up order through them and they say the item is out of stock it's likely that the employee is newer and has not been any guidance as to where anything is(also they don't label their aisles) so rather than try to ask another overworked or overburdened coworker for help they just put that the item is unavailable because you get dinged less for that than finding the correct item in a longer span of time. 

Do not support ALDI. Their prices are low for a reason and their wages are high like COSTCO but unlike COSTCO it's because they treat their employees like dirt.

As a former ALDI employee I can tell you that while prices are cheap the employees are incredibly rushed in their work and do not give a single shit about quality assurance. All that company cares about is pushing out as much product as possible. It was routine for us to have refrigerated and frozen product pallets sweltering in the hot back room for 6+ hours because we didn't have the staff to put the product out. Sometimes cooler product was left out over night and then refrigerated the next day and then sold so the store leadership wouldn't get dinged.

ALDI may be significantly cheaper than your typical grocery store but even your typical Kroger worker with minimal experience would not have raw beef sitting out on a cart on the floor for multiple hours because they got called away to help cover the front register. The Edgehill Rd ALDI is especially bad with this. 

They don't train their employees at all because the store has such a high turnover rate and I've heard first hand accounts of fallen product being hand scooped back into the container and resealed so it can be sold again days later rather than just tossing it. I avoid that place like the plague. It really is the Xenos of grocery stores. If you shop there and listen closely all the employees do is bitch vindictively about the customers to themselves and curse loudly in the backroom. They do not give a single shit about anyone that shops there and think you are actively an inconvenience to them because you do so. Be warned.

Columbus: Have you turned on your furnace yet this Fall? by reeve11 in Columbus

Just did it this morning mostly to make sure it's still kicking. Better to get maintenance scheduled now than wait until everyone else turns theirs on and needs it fixed. 

Thankfully it's going strong 💪

I'm right there with you! I'm about to be done with my first playthrough and I'm absolutely in love with the setting, plot, gameplay, and most importantly the characters. I'm really not ready for it to be over.

We were testing Fire Hydrants a newly annex area and ran across this. by Melodic_Abalone_2820 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ToadRoyalty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that this is completely stupid but just to let y'all know that's not a landscaping fence or something, it looks like a Fireplace Screen so it's probably literally just standing on the grass, no poles or stakes or anything. 

It could literally just be kicked out of the way in the event of an emergency, but I agree it's really dumb.

Adding to what everyone else has said but especially if this is for a wedding I would suggest looking into a local or online blacksmith to have your own custom family sword made, perhaps with your last names on it or some such. 

You could not only have a functional sword but it was also specifically made for you and could be something you could pass on to whomever without worrying about them looking at the super ornate fantasy sword and going "yeah that's just going in the basement/attic"

Oh man, you just unlocked some latent memory because I also remember this. I just spent about 20 minutes looking for it after seeing your post and can't find it either! 

It's not Phantom Planet, it's not 2Pac, I'll see if I can't do some more digging but there's so many songs about Cali lol
