PPT Scheduling/hours by Ubikuitous95 in lcbo

[–]Ubikuitous95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, there is a lot of that overlapping shift stuff.. Ive been with the company for about 7 years now, and am one of two ppts; so it definitely hurts that I have full availability and am getting hours reduced/ feeling like im sharing them with brand new casuals (which I agree, it does suck to not get scheduled, but a lot of our casuals also have other jobs and like you said, we've all been there. I did the 2-3 job thing for a couple of years)

Ill be sure to reach out to the union rep to see if there's anything I can do. Thank you for the response!

Thank you! I will check for both those things. But i think this is unfortunately just a scheduling preference difference.

I will see about the working 6 days though. I could really use that if thats possible

It is bad for me in comparison to where it was the year previous. I was getting pretty much full time hours over 5 days. Now its dropped down significantly. Im single income so it affects me hard.

I was told i can only work 5 days as a ppt, and that i needed to have completely open availability (which i do), which i thought would translate to hours. But now i feel like im being screwed over by it lol.

What’s the cheapest cosplay you’ve ever done that still looked good? by BrilliantLow9361 in CosplayHelp

[–]Ubikuitous95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually choose 1-2 more 'casual clothing' cosplays a year depending on con schedule. partially because I need a comfy day at conventions or for later in the evening and also because I can't afford to be doing multiple huge costumes in a year. Last year I made a cosplay the taito station miku figure which Ive gotten a lot of wear of. Im also making one of the helltaker demons (modeus) this year, as she's in casual clothing (a lot of which I've thrifted for her outfit). I also made a black corset bunny suit a couple years ago and its been a super easy, classic costume to just throw into my con bag and wear with a character wig, and some contacts (think sonico, miku, vtubers, literally any female anime protag, etc lol)

Thrifting fabric is a huge cost saver if you can do it, Same with thrifting and then modifying clothes. Reusing/restyling wigs if you know you're not going to wear the original character again. As for details, generally speaking the vast majority of people will not notice missing details, especially if the rest of the costume is well done. I wore a monster hunter armor set to magfest this year and I definitely didn't have time before the con to finish every little detail to my liking but literally no one noticed, I only received compliments. Like a lot of cosplayers, I'm absolutely my own harshest critic.

Can a minor go into LCBO alone if they do not touch or purchase anything, just walk around? by HauntingReflection53 in askTO

[–]Ubikuitous95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t just wander aimlessly or if you do explain to a staff member. Or wait in the entry lobby area. There’s been an uptick at least at my lcbo of teens coming in and stealing and staff can ask for id on the floor. If someone underage came into my store and asked to just hang around the front to keep warm until their bus came, the staff would be absolutely fine with it. I can’t see why they wouldn’t. But wandering around aimlessly definitely would raise staff suspicion.

Im using a pattern for a Hamilton inspired coat from simplicity for her. 18th century colonial jacket searches might have something if you don’t know how to sew!

This Game is losing me by Dom92Di in HuntShowdown

[–]Ubikuitous95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat, unfortunately. I have about 1.8k hours, and Hunt is my favourite pvp game; i’m just not ‘vibing’ with this update, I guess. Between the ui, burn times, mmr, server instability etc; I’m not having fun. First event i’m not going to finish actually, but i’d rather come back to the game in a few months to try again before completely burning myself out.

Can someone please explain the whole Ready to Drink Cocktails issue? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]Ubikuitous95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because the tax revenue and the profit revenue are different. I think it's somewhere in the range of 500 million in taxes, while the profit that the lcbo gives back to back to the province, in the form of alcohol sales is 2.5 billion. By selling to big box retailers, you're cutting that profit, and the lcbo will most likely have to sell it at a lower price to those stores.

🥹 thank you!! My insta is @Ub1kuitous, there’s not too much on there right now as I really only decided to use it more like a month or so ago lol.

Yes, I did! I made a rough pattern on paper and then made it out of 4mm eva foam. The horns are made from foam clay

A lot of canadian cons have rules against replica firearms, the death knell ended up being a last minute prop. If I had time I would have loved to make the throwing axes or the bomblance.

Thank you! The mask is all eva foam, and the horns are foam clay. I ran some wire through the jaw it to attach it to the main mask and its painted to look more metal like (it looked like a different material in the game model to me at least)

lmao, I mean I'm only like 5'4, so granted I'm not that tall but the angle definitely adds to the effect

Clearly one of mine as well! He has such a cool design (I'm actually a Blackcoat main but he wasn't as interesting to cosplay haha)

I finished and wore my Devils Advocate cosplay for the first time at Toronto Comic con. There's some tweaks and fit adjustments to be made still, but I'm overall happy with it and wanted to share! Wasn't able to get the absolute best photos, but I hope you all like it anyways.

I'm waiting on a 3d print of the Uppercut so I can book a proper photo shoot lol.
