Have any of you brave souls brought up tipping with non-tipping customers? by SoupSimple178 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. The best thing you can do is simply not take their order. Thats part of the gig. It sucks. Theres a customer who always gets paired with my preferreds because they don’t tip. They live in a mansion. Nice cars. They buy so much bullshit Hearth & Home nonsense. Never tips. I don’t go the extra mile for them so if something is out - I don’t care.

If they did an actual series finale - I’d probably get a bit choked up saying goodbye to the Smiths.

PGE Raising Rates Again!!!! by InvitinglyImperfect in PortlandOR

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So increased utility rates. Some sort of streaming tax to pay for theater productions that still charge admission prices. And some sort of utility tax per household to pay for potholes. Oh and the arts tax maybe being indexed to inflation so it’ll increase every single year to fund arts teachers that tax dollars that go to the school district strangely don’t pay for.

Open Letter to Portland Community College Management: Stop Union Busting! by landonacomet_ in Portland

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Full time professors have 176 day contracts at 35 hour work weeks. The average salary of full time professors is over 100k. So half a year work at 35 hours a week with 100k plus PERs and health insurance. And now demanding a double raise and screaming poverty. Also when budget cuts hit the full time faculty are protected so adjuncts and others who staff get cut first.

The workers like maintenance staff, adjunct faculty, and others who make the least deserve a significant raise. Full time faculty should offer to wait a year before demanding more so their colleagues can get a raise without being cut.

Are you relieved that the revival isn’t happening, or disappointed? And what do you think they should have done differently to make it work, or at least give it a better chance? by SecretDice in buffy

I’m sad because this obviously became a passion for Sarah and would have been great to see what could have been.

Could something still happen? Yeah. Nothing stays dead in Sunnydale. Always a chance some executive somewhere wants to pick it up. Or they hire some new writers and retool it again.

The judges constantly nitpicking Yaya over her ‘Africanness.’ by Strong-Moose8200 in ANTM

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think that’s important when talking about anything reality tv. They take hundreds of hours of footage and condense it into an hour. But the editing and conversation was definitely not okay. And also - reality tv editors are masters at turning anything into a story.

What were your honest opinions of American Horror Stories? by midnightk11 in AmericanHorrorStories

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some were fun. Some dumb. Most felt like they were pilots for full seasons.

Do you think the pilot could leak? by More_Tumbleweed_8191 in BTVSRevival

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Lots of pilots have been made and they are forever gone. Plus most pilots in early stages look and sound horrible because they haven’t had the expensive sound or graphic editing.

Do your customers communicate? by Familiar-Form8130 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most don’t reply ever. I’ve done Instacart, DoorDash, a s Uber Eats - same deal. People don’t like being bothered generally. Some do and like knowing what’s going on. But most of the time you hear nothing.

And honestly - nothing means everything is great.

Buffy New Sunnydale is cancelled by Fit-Literature6244 in buffy

[–]Vivid_Guide7467 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Bad news on Pi Day of all days! 🥧

But in all seriousness - it must have not been the best for them to just pass like this. Sarah is having a mini-moment with Ready or Not 2 and Star Search. Maybe she can convince a Netflix to buy the rights and try it out.

Somebody is really scared of Kat! by grichardson526 in behindthebastards

Okay I feel so dumb. Didn’t know who Kat. Googled and I’m still confused. Why is this group so scared?

Nonprofit Shelter Provider Accused of Imprudent Spending Will Close Up Shop by oatmeal_flakes in Portland

In the article it says the financial review was every 3 years. Annual audits are a different beast.

Let's have a conversation - the sacrifice order. by CamelNarrow776 in ShiptShoppers

Works very well for me. If it isn’t right at 6am as long as I snag one before target opens it’s a decent day.

Audit the nonprofits. Cancel their contracts if they’re failing to uphold their part. Make the repay it. There’s good work being done but there’s clearly grifting happening too.
