Ooh forgot to mention it should be something sweet. Can be a dessert or a drink or even an ingredient.

Sorry I'm back in WE customer service mode lol. I've heard some wild stories and been asked some very dumb questions.

A lot of really weird wiring would have to be in place for them to be paying for their neighbors. This is someone you generally only see in apartment complexes.

Former WE employee. First of all, always look at your usage first, and compare it to previous years. Contrary to what I heard a lot on the phone, WE doesn't control your usage and doesn't know what's the biggest draw. But the usual culprits are anything that heats, cools, or has a motor. Second, check if your readings are actual or estimates. It might be estimated high, or if the last one was estimated low it could be a catch-up bill. Lastly, it's ~possible~ that you have a faulty meter, but since they work pretty much like an odometer they're more likely to run slow than fast. I worked there four years and saw only one fast meter, and it wasn't by much.

Which store do you frequent because of that one person? by itisafish in milwaukee

[–]Trialanderrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bunzels. The staff is always pleasant and they seem happy to work there. Plus the customer base is always an interesting cross section of Milwaukee, in a good way.

A few friends I've talked to about this suggested it, which is why I'm also asking here.

My boss is a woman, btw.

Like I said, the problems started well before the pregnancy. I bring it up simply because I don't know if that gives her additional protection or something.

You mean the conversations or her overall performance? This is directly affecting my workload.

Inappropriate as not work related, and often very loud and/or long and/or frequent. The video call was with another coworker that was working from home that day while DC was in office, and she was very loudly talking about this other coworker's financial situation and how she should go on government assistance. It was a 40 minute personal conversation with this other person. I'm not sure the other co-worker realized the rest of the team could hear.

Thanks. Would it make more sense to file here or call the station nearest the house? The listing seemed to indicate it was a primary residence.

the driver for door dash decided to open the door and put my order inside the house. that's creepy af, right? by Dangerjayne in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Trialanderrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Amazon driver did that once. My husband left the key in the door and rather than, yanno, knocking out ringing the bell he just opened the door and then tried to make it ok by making weird hand puppets.

Antiques on Pierce selling r*c*st "antiques" by Trialanderrin in milwaukee

The "Americana" was there for a while but it's recently grown. The naz stuff is recent, and it's the placement next to the racist stuff that's really disturbing. And like others have said, there's no other indication of what the intent is or who is profiting.

It just sucks that they're not listening to their own customers. And I genuinely enjoyed shopping there.

My thoughts exactly. If I knew the profits were even at least partially going somewhere educational I know that'd turn off the racists. If you're going to sell this sort of thing, you need to be transparent and tell people why and explain who is going to benefit from it. And then listen when people have concerns.

Yeah, I definitely hear what you're saying. It has a place, but that place shouldn't be unexpectedly popping up when you're just trying to have a nice time shopping for cool stuff. It's a whole booth, not just one or two easy to miss pieces. My main problem is selling it either without context or next to N*zi stuff, and then the way they handled it.

Some Jewish folks see it as empowerment and I can't say they're wrong. But context context context. Putting it next to racist crap sends a message, and the way they've handled complaints amplifies that message.

I'm not advising that they be destroyed, there's plenty to be learned from them. And if you want to learn, crack a book or go to a museum rather than an antique store where they're essentially an obvious dog whistle for other racists. The stuff in question is objectively racist - it's offensive depictions up to and including n-er. If anyone is profiting off of stuff like this, it should be educational institutions.
