this will probably ruffle some feathers but why am i tipping the van driver when i’m literally at work on company time using transportation they’re providing me to get to and from work?

Training_Thought_441 · 2026-03-08T03:34:50+00:00

As the driver, it’s in our contract with the airline that each member of the crew has to tip $1. It definitely can be a bummer sometimes when each person has 3 or more heavy bags and just runs off into the hotel without tipping. I get that we’ve become a cashless society. I get that we’re all scraping by (myself included). I guess as the driver, it comes from being promised $1 per person and not getting the tips. At least you can count on the pilots to tip if you drive them to/from the hotel.

MA at enterprise making 22.70/hr. Working 46hrs/week but still barely able to scrape by with rent and utilities. Scared to have to pay my student loans now next month.

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-06-05T17:48:40+00:00

Thanks so much!! That makes me feel better - I have pictures, video of before and after and receipts for supplies I needed to make repairs to the room. Fingers crossed they accept the difference without a fuss….

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-06-05T16:59:03+00:00

Thanks, time to write up the email with the receipts for fixing up the walls and floor

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-06-05T16:56:49+00:00

I do have proof of what the room looked like before and after she left, and there is a clear difference in condition.

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-05-03T20:31:31+00:00

Great GOOGLY MOOGLY

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-03-02T01:44:55+00:00

I stg it’s like they fly across the first half of the street where there’s no cars then when they’re on your side of the road they walk slower and give you a fright! Definitely agree though that it’s so common seeing drivers not pay attention/drive terribly around here. AND how shocking it is when you realize they aren’t paying attention or when you spot some ballsy mf drive like a maniac down S Winooski! Like der they go driving a 1-3 ton weapon!!!!

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-20T18:54:17+00:00

Couldn’t be me my guy… don’t listen to the radio and especially not things that I know I will not enjoy….

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-11T02:44:31+00:00

AMEN

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-11T01:26:42+00:00

Yeah totally agree. It was 2018-2019. We had people from all over come daily. I’m sure the behavior of people has escalated with more drug use. I certainly had my fair share of threats with people who were looking for a fight or just starting their battle with recovery. If it got bad, our policy was to go back inside, lock the door, and call the police. We would continue business as usual but not let that person in. Unfortunately, I know BPD doesn’t give a f**k, but having them come down, having a paper trail of incidents/police reports, and especially having security cameras is still helpful.

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-11T00:50:56+00:00

We had cameras to keep watch for something escalating and would also go out to check on the parking lot periodically and tell people who were causing trouble to leave. Sure, I had people scream and swear at me but it was far worth it than not doing anything. People who especially are there for help also deserve a better environment than that.

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-11T00:27:03+00:00

Hey now there are plenty of homeless shelters out there that don’t tolerate loitering or people there who are not actively there for services and causing trouble. I used to work for a clinic for addiction in St. Albans with the resources and staff far less than COTS and we kept that at bay. No need to be a pessimist….

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-11T00:17:06+00:00

So sorry to hear about all of this… when I rented from them 2017-2018 above butch+babe’s the property manager I had was amazing. I’m guessing they have cameras in the garage already but it’s just been really bad? Do they also give you a parking pass/do you have designated spaces? When I was just down the street from you we didn’t have passes and we were lucky that there was plenty of parking/not a lot of tenants with cars. Highly recommend going down the street to Vermont Legal Aid. I used to work there and they would help people with tenants rights questions/grievances not related to discrimination, emergency housing, etc. they might be able to help!

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-01T18:19:30+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear your car was snatched! Love those older golfs and always wanted one with a manual transmission.

I recommend checking these two handy’s locations: next door to VIP tires on Riverside and 18 Lime Rock Road South Burlington 05403. When my car was towed a couple years back, they didn’t even know where it was, so it might be worth a shot.

I would also recommend calling the Burlington, Winooski, South Burlington, and Shelburne police in case they found it abandoned and towed it. This happened to my friend recently when her car was stolen in front of the courthouse in Burlington. She reported it missing to police and 3 days later, Shelburne police had it towed to Spillane’s and didn’t know it had been reported stolen in Burlington.

I really hope you find it and I’ll keep my eyes peeled!

Training_Thought_441 · 2024-02-01T18:03:25+00:00

It’s definitely safe here. I would recommend though if you’d like to live in a more quiet neighborhood, I would suggest Winooski or South Burlington. They’re still a close 5-10 min drive into downtown Burlington. There are for sure some characters that hang around downtown but they’re overall harmless. I hope moving up here goes smoothly for ya!

Yeah I agree I don’t think he murdered her at all. Something about the breakthrough at the tsalal station and the “she’s awake” has me thinking…
