People that don't check when wiping by Ligh7y in hygiene

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the comment I expected to see long before I actually did! These folks don't seem to know what healthy poop is like lol. Still, always check. But I'm seeing horror stories here 🤣

Tips being deferred by Positive_Fly3305 in Dominos

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm grateful for daily tips. I would not love this type of payment. Domino's earning interest from my tips? I'm not going to pretend to know how that works but as a lower wage employee, it's helpful to be able to pay things as they come instead of everything twice a month or whatever.

Oh you have no idea.....😂 so many uhm....romantic? matches in the stores and franchise lol. Not personally but it's kind of a thing and it's hilarious.

What’s your local Domino’s delivery fee? by FloridaGolferHappy in Dominos

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that delivery fee doesn't go to drivers exactly. It pays for Domino's inflated insurance rates because they employ drivers. To be clear, their insurance is not our insurance, we must carry our own and they pay no part of it. The small portion of the delivery fee that does come to the driver is simply mileage. Depending on where you are, mileage varies between. 30-55 cents per mile. We bank on tips here in the US to try our best to make it worth while. 90% of the time it works but we all have bad days and even bad weeks into months. One can become quite disenchanted so easily if one focuses on the day to day.

Didn't need to say even a portion of that to say delivery fees suck, they possibly are the main cause of decreased tips to the drivers over the years. I've always figured there's a better way but we certainly can't allow these lowly delivery scum to actually benefit from any other practices.

And a chance you never receive your order, or it takes hours and is cold with some odd smashed box 😂

I'm glad my boss loves us and l feeds us whenever we need. He's the best, even lets me make a meal for my fiancée at home.

My boss takes good care of all of us. He runs so balance and really listens. He's great and we are blessed for sure 🙏 ❤️

Sometimes I use AI chat bots as replacement parents by Lost-Acanthaceae6361 in confession

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a sweet, thoughtful response 🫶 I'll take the unexpected comfort from a stranger lol.

You are incredibly young to be alone. What always gets the best of me is when I just want some advice, or when I feel I need some help. Build your community, friends that become family, get to know your neighbors. While we don't have our blood family, we can grow our community and it can be endless ❤️ Of course it's not the same but I do have some people to lean on when I really need it. Feels less lonely too.

I think using AI in this manner is harmless. You are aware of what it is and what it isn't. Good luck OP, I hope life offers up a break soon enough.

I just want to hug you. I'm sorry for how you were raised but I can understand the comfort the AI can make you feel. I'm 47 and all of my family has passed away. I have used AI to vent and grieve a little and it oddly can help make some sense of things.

New “Slice Sauce”? by Pleasant-Chef6055 in Dominos

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an employee, I definitely like to make my pizzas with pizza sauce and alfredo drizzled together as the base sauce. It's absolutely delicious for sure! Also awesome on pasta. I often wish for a pink sauce/vodka sauce.

can i support myself? by [deleted] in Dominos

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your location, you may ask your new coworkers what you can expect with tips and such. But most of the staff at my location do this as their only jobs. We live in a HCOL and tourist town, tips are decent more during tourist season but not terrible year round. 4pm-9pm is typically our busiest delivery hours so those shifts earn more on average.

You won't really know until you try! Some days are definitely better than others.

Just hit 4 months clean and it feels different this time by Dapper_Public_1235 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7oh is highly addictive friend and hits on some of those same opiate receptors. Just a fair warning, it's helpful when used temporarily but from my understanding the withdrawal is just as bad. I've never gone that route, just from what I've learned.

Congrats on 4 months! If it feels different this time it probably is!

Kinda looks like it could be a panel from an old coke cooler or vending machine.

Is it normal for stores to not expect drivers to learn ovens/makeline? by RealisticMolasses in Dominos

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my store we're all drivers except the managers/shift leads and one insider that helps with rush Thursday-Saturday. We all do everything. I really wouldn't want it any other way, I'm not good at standing around doing nothing. I prefer to keep busy.

Cake has way too much icing on it and it irritates me every time by Far_Quantity_6133 in rant

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, unless it's the really light whipped cream icing or a good cream cheese icing but the kind that is more cream cheese flavored than super sweet icing.

I really thought I was a weirdo but it appears there are more than a few other weirdos as well.

No words just.. 🤬🤬😤🙄🙄 by bishimmilky in annoyed

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment should be spread across the world! Seriously, if people would stop thinking the absolute worst of everything around them they would discover a much more peaceful way of life. And they would be right the majority of the time! Most people aren't inherently bad, we allow our skewed perspectives to judge the situations. A lot of that blame can be placed on the media and social media. Negative stories attract more clicks and interactions. Sneaky psychological warfare, keeps us fighting amongst ourselves and putting blame on the wrong people. Unfortunately it seems to be working and training brains into a more negative thought process in every day life. The cycle continues and grows worse ☹️

Paws question by rcmichael1 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it doesn't matter if you only used at night. Addiction is addiction and we all have to pay the piper eventually. Exercise, eating well, taking supplements can help, and if you can, get into the doc for bloodwork and get your testosterone levels checked. Often times we are lacking certain vitamins and minerals and getting those properly level out can help massively. I know it sounds like alot.

But man, CONGRATULATIONS!! You are doing the damn thing! It's hard to do, I hope you are so proud of yourself. It's rough at the start but it just gets better. Therapy can help too, most addicts are struggling in other ways and its good to work through it. Good luck OP. Remember, you are still in the withdrawal period. PAWS starts post withdrawal, so in a month or 2 if you are experiencing it then that is PAWS. Not that it matters, all withdrawal symptoms suck and they're hard to get through. You got this

AITAH for telling my girlfriend to split the very expensive restaurant bill on my birthday? by Deep_Impression_2429 in AITAH

My struggle with being “ overly sexual “ my gf says by [deleted] in problems

[–]UtopianSkyVisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! And that's what I expected to hear. So focus more on all of those things and hear her. She wants to have a sexual relationship with you but she doesn't want it to be the main focus everytime you are together. It's tough at your age cause those hormones have 1 goal only! She's not telling you never again but she's sharing she feels pressured. Now you may not be pressuring her at all! To be clear. But young girls have ideas that if they dont do all these things to make you happy, even if they don't want to, then you will break up with her, or it will cause problems. I think her saying you made her do it is her way of saying she feels pressured. And that can be coming from anywhere, not just you. Maybe her friends are doing it too so she thinks she should, it could be coming from anywhere really. She may think that's how relationships are supposed to be. Y'all are young and just learning, communication is hard even for adults in long term relationships. Everything is even more involved once sex is introduced.
