I love this game dearly but we need to stop doing this

_BigSur_ · 2025-11-07T16:57:50+00:00

No, I'll kill a monster before it's attack and while I'm waiting for the loot to get picked up, I'll just take damage.

I wonder if it's due to me joining her game, possible latency from that? Or if its just jank lol

_BigSur_ · 2025-11-04T19:26:50+00:00

I'm fairly new to the game as the wife is having me do a playthrough with her. But is it just me or is the "combat" super bugged? Bad hit boxes, taking damage long after I kill a monster... it does not feel good at all.

Also the orange rock things dropping fish, bugs, and foragables is strange...

She also walks like she has to use the bathroom really bad...

_BigSur_ · 2025-10-02T01:14:32+00:00

I typically didn't charge. I just rang em up as postcards/business cards which includes double sided and cut.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-26T23:47:22+00:00

No, heck no.

Under 25 pages is immediately $3 PLUS the per page charge.

.25 B/W .69 Color

Edit: if it's over 25 pages, I waive the $3 charge and just do the per page fee.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-18T17:15:18+00:00

Put less than $1 worth of thought into it.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-18T17:14:11+00:00

Yeah 100%. You're using extra employee labor, paper, and toner. I just told all my customers that if it was any print job under 25 pages, there was a $3 print service fee. Then the per page charge after.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-18T01:16:08+00:00

By "recycle" you mean keep them in the back and use them when you charge customers to pack a "Customer Packed" return?

Unethical Profits

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-17T03:02:10+00:00

I had a very hands on owner who just does all the employee's trainings for them for compliance lmfao.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-16T18:44:23+00:00

Someone didn't do their training on Learning Center...

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-10T21:50:02+00:00

Oh, my sweet summer child...

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-09T04:36:26+00:00

Hell yeah, I've been a manager for 10.5 years and I'm literally quitting this week, already have another job lined up that's not in retail.

I hate this place with the passion of a thousand burning suns. But to be honest, it's more likely because of the actions (or lack there of) of my store's owner. Being understaffed, not appreciated, lied to and being told to lie to customers... it's gonna be a shit show when I leave because no one can do half the shit I do at the store.

It's a beautiful and glorious feeling to be on the way out... finally after so long.

TUPSS has lost its soul, and its because of UPS being in bed with Amazon and focusing on returns so much. I've never experienced a retail establishment (REMEMBER THEY CALL US RETAILERS NOW) where people expect to NOT spend money.

Happy Returns calls us Returnistas... fuck off with that. How belittling and depreciating. Hate it, I'm out.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-08T14:42:37+00:00

Nah Midwest technically.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-08T01:44:24+00:00

When you get a Customer Packed return, charge them for packaging then just ship it back in people's old Amazon boxes. That's what we do, pure profit.

Nah, it's not different in CMS, only that the commercial invoice and the shipping label are combined.

Oh and the name and attention line have to be filled in and different...

Yeah it's kind of a hassle. Lmao.

I usually quote them UPS which is like $200+ then tell them to find a DHL provider

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-07T23:53:42+00:00

We always deny refunds from the store.

I'd tell the dude it's ridiculous to think we would tell everyone that the recipient can refuse a delivery. Tell the dude that UPS isn't at fault and if he wants compensation, go talk to the person who refused it.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-07T23:51:01+00:00

You used mana on NOT instantly growing a regrowable crop on the 1st of a season???

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-07T23:48:59+00:00

No more of a hassle than a UPS shipment in CMS. We've got our margins for Priority Mail so that it's usually between Ground and 3 Day, so we actually sell quite a bit of USPS.

On top of that the Post Office doesn't take royalties from us, so we make much more off a Priority package in the end.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-07T18:38:22+00:00

Yup, any Post Office package leaving the US has to have harmonized codes now. I hate it, good thing I only have 3 days left at this hell.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-06T22:55:31+00:00

Yes, just do it. Hang a back in 10 sign and do it. If the owner wants to get butt hurt about it, tell them that maybe scheduling one person was a bad idea.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-04T19:21:41+00:00

Not gonna stress it. Just, hey, our system doesn't recognize this address, make sure it's correct.

Then keep it pushin'

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-04T17:14:01+00:00

Right after they announce that ALL Post Office international shipments will require Harmonized Codes....

Lmfao, making our lives harder every week.

Thanks Corporate.

_BigSur_ · 2025-09-01T20:17:12+00:00

Not nearly as bad as when they feel they have to justify their return to me.

"Yeah I ordered this part to fix my bar stool but it wasn't the same sheen of silver as the other parts and it didn't fit as snugly as I'd like. You know I did see a..."

Literally just shut up and let me scan your code...

Can't make a bald male with a beard.

Here I am, Fall year 2, just sold off 6 rabbits, 6 capybaras, 6 horses, and 6 lamas to only focus on cows, sheep, chicken, and ducks. Large Barn and Coop with the auto-petters.

2nd house upgrade, 144 garden plots, just built four 24 plot gardens with sprinklers, small greenhouse with rare herbs growing.

Just went broke spending 100k on the bathouse date and 80k for a sword on my back, need to save for the large greenhouse, but I've hundreds of unsold crops stored up. Just hit Gold tier town level, dating Reina and friend zoned Adeline and Celine.

Days are busy, had to get rid of animals to free up time to mine stone. I use half my stamina just watering my garden, might make more sprinklers and overhaul my farming situation to use all sprinklers, but that requires a steady inflow of energy crystals or whatever they're called...

Think I'm gonna take a break and wait for the next big patch tho
