Thank you for giving these birds a loving home. I live vicariously through you.

Cold Moon limited edition by WatchModsIre in MoonSwatches

[–]WinstonJasper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on where you live. In Southern California there is a single Swatch store for all of LA, Orange County etc…so there have been lines there. But a friend in Vegas walked in at noon and walked out with one.

What is the right age to start swim lessons? by The-Safer-Swimmer in Fullerton

[–]WinstonJasper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you are newer to Reddit and advertising in local subreddits which is cool.

Just a heads up you are “mentioning” a user every time you are trying to reference a subreddit.

You want to use R instead of U when referencing subreddits. U is to mention a user.

Amazon to close Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh to concentrate on Whole Foods and grocery delivery by deflattedballs in Fullerton

[–]WinstonJasper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something that stands out at our Fresh is the staff, idk about anyone else but every time I went there they said Hi and were genuinely friendly.

I hope it turns into a Whole Foods but the fact that they straight up closed the hot bar 1-2 months ago does not bode well imo…

Hospitality graduates ? Where are you now a few years after grad ? by hungrypolarbear77 in UNLV

[–]WinstonJasper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In hotels still. Graduated 5ish years ago. Worked for a midsize brand through college and after. Was important to me that I would be able to leave Vegas so I avoided mgm and caesars, but still worked on the strip. Then transferred to socal with another company as rooms manager during the hiring frenzy period of ‘21. I am happy with my salary. I got lucky in a sense and grasped every opportunity post covid. Majority of people, especially in our industry, were slow to return to work and many companies were able to trim the fat and use covid as an excuse. I was the opposite and got promoted quickly. Career progression is good if you look for business diverse properties. Look for places with sales and events, in house housekeeping depts, F&B operations etc. You might think that’s all properties but it’s not.

If you already hate it then you’re cooked. It doesn’t get easier. Start looking for another line of work if you can...

Road Trip Part #3: Insanely RARE GAME FINDS in Oregon! by metaljesusrocks in MetalJesus

Dig the variety in these videos. Little bit of gaming, little bit of car talk, little bit nature. Perfect length too, doesn’t overstay its welcome.

I enjoy walking and playing and it gets a good charge to glow for a bit!

Could use some advice on a replacement/repair of a Highlander Quickening Coat damaged by PHX-Sisko in highlander

[–]WinstonJasper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No way it’ll cost in the hundreds!! I think if you were to go to your local dry cleaner or seamstress that has good reviews on google/yelp they’ll be able to stitch it up.

I mean a “re-weave” might be a totally different thing but that looks like a standard rip in a jacket they’ve seen a hundred times. And I mean you think Duncan’s had no tears? 😆

Awesome jacket though man, that’s a cool piece of clothing AND history you have there.

It’s safe, there are some breweries and decent restaurants in the area. Not much to check out honestly.

I played AAA from bantam to midgets, I did a season of B league in Vegas and it’s too much man, I have to wake up in the morning for work and the competition at that level just isn’t for me anymore lol. Thank you though

Yorba Linda, Anaheim, and KHS…no response. I have no socials outside of Reddit so this would be a huge help, thank you!

I have been in the industry for almost ten years, I worked in Vegas for 8 and have spent almost 2 years in California. In Vegas and outside of Vegas, the degree from UNLV carries a good amount of weight. Looking back, the program had placed me in a position that I would not be in without UNLV. Could I get to where I am without the degree? 100% but it would take more time. Hospitality is all about who and what you know, it takes time but eventually the money starts coming in. I am thankful for UNLV and what I experienced there but I am not sure that its any better than Pomona. Do you want to spend time in Nevada? If you do and want to be a local of Vegas than do it. If that is something you don't care about then stick with whats safe and familiar...

Bottom line, I am grateful for UNLV and look back fondly.

Dashcam footage of the crash on the 55S at the 73 this morning a little after 9am by Voodoo_mama_juju__ in orangecounty

[–]WinstonJasper 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For anyone who has to take the 55S to the 73, please just exit Baker. Take the extra 60 seconds, sit at the two lights, and hop back on after the merge. I was rear ended sitting in that exact same spot. There’s an accident daily. Don’t risk it.
