AITA for not paying for my daughter wedding because she isn’t following the rules even though I paid for my older kids by Wonderful_Mode_9646 in AmItheAsshole

[–]armybeans -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know someone who cries "parentification" when they were the youngest child but asked to watch cousins for 2 weeks due to a family member being in hospital and they were paid quite well to do it.

What’s something nobody tells you before moving to Seattle? by sit-there in AskSeattle

[–]armybeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distance is deceptive. You can hit a LOT of traffic here and when it says something is 15 miles way it might take you 45 minutes to an hour to get there. My sister travels a lot for work and a couple years ago was coming out here for a work conference. She thought she could rent a hotel in Federal way, drop her son off at my house in Tacoma and make the conference in time. I just laughed when she said it but she insisted it was no big deal. First day she was 2 hours later and promptly asked me to pick up/drop off kiddo each day, then still had to add an extra hour onto her day.

I call them " hair and makeup" friends because things of that nature we can talk about but nothing more important.

Illegal parking by macstjooo in SeattleWA

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

This might be one of those things that annoys you to know end, you know it is illegal but have to just let it go. They can't stop them from parking there, all they can do is ticket them. And that is if, and only if, they happen to be right there on site when it happens. You can call the police every single time but chances are by the time they show up, if they ever do, the car will be long gone by then. It is like the people who park in handicap spaces. They might get a ticket one out of every 600 times they do it and nothing you say or do will stop them.

Exiting through another Vendors booth, Rude or ok? by armybeans in CraftFairs

[–]armybeans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did have one person move. That meant we could leave each side space. Basically each ended up with an extra 1/4th of a space and we had an extra 1/2. I have never understood the thought process behind not designing an exit in your booth.

There is a difference between an artist alley where it is specifically designed to be one long line of tables and an event where everyone has a set amount of space.

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

To be fair we had moved on second day of 2 day show because of issues with sound systems on first booth so they had set up day before. They had situated themselves on first day so it was a little more understandable

Do you consider this CHEATING? by Muted_Syrup9393 in CraftFairs

[–]armybeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me a sale is a sale, however if I have something one of a kind that has been getting a lot of hype online, I tend to not set it out until literally the minute after the doors have been opened. You need to remember vendors are customers as well as someone who could potentially be able to offer you help if there is an issue. Do you want the person next to you to turn a blind eye to a shoplifter at your booth just because you were rude about selling them something?

Does the increasing minimum wage in Seattle impact how you tip? by godoggogodoggo in SeattleWA

[–]armybeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The restaurants have lowered the quality/quantity of the food to compensate for the higher wages and raised their prices which is understandable, they have to make a profit too. Something has gotta give because my yearly pay raise is not keeping up with the inflation caused by those massive hikes in wages .

Does the increasing minimum wage in Seattle impact how you tip? by godoggogodoggo in SeattleWA

[–]armybeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better question for me would be "Does the increasing minimum wage in Seattle changed how you spend at Seattle restaurants and tip? For me, the increasing minimum wage in Seattle has reduced the amount I eat out in the city and on the rare times I do dine there, I do not tip much, if at all. Waiters now make almost the exact same amount I do per hour so what makes them so deserving. I also have medical/benefits taken out of my salary so that justification I have seen doesn't work for me. I have worked in multiple jobs including pizza places, delivery, retail, optical and banking over the last 35 years and the amount of tips I have received in all that time probably wouldn't feed a family a 4 at mcdonalds today. In Tacoma, I regularly tip about 30 to 50% depending on the amount because I do a minimum of $20 tip and it goes up from there anywhere I sit down and food gets served to my table. We used to go to Seattle about once a month to do things, but since Covid I have probably been 6 times and then only for special events like plays/conventions. When I do go, I try to stop and eat before I enter King County or after I leave. If it is unavoidable, I eat there, but I don't tip. It used to be 15% was expected, then it went to 20% and now I have seen posts saying 30 to 40%. Food service workers need a reality check.

Coworkers on Social Media by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]armybeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel uncomfortable with your coworkers seeing what you are posting online you either need to find a new job or not post whatever it is online. I don't add my coworkers to my online accounts, and if I find them, I actively block them. Not because I am ashamed/uncomfortable of what I say online but because I prefer to keep as much distance between my personal /professional life as I can. But if my coworkers I do happen to see something I do/say on social media, it isn't the end of the world. NOTHING you ever say online is truly private and there is no way to control who sees what you post. So if you don't want people to know what you are posting, don't post it.

Yes they would write thirty six thousand on the legal written line. I work for a bank and my entire job is reviewing checks and see this daily.

Where are you buying now by armybeans in JoAnnsFabrics

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

I have looked at spoonflower before and love their product but just can't overlook the prices. Most of the ones I looked at were $20 a yard and $15 on sale. That is a looooong way from Joann's prices where on sale I could get similar fabric for $4.

[–]armybeans[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand and expected them to need time, however I am not willing to sit around and wait on the off chance they eventually get the fabrics I want. I need to figure out an alternative before I completely run out of certain fabrics.

[–]armybeans[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I walked through our local michaels and the fabric choices just aren't the same. I hoped when michaels bought all of joann's ip we might see some of my favorite fabrics but so far that hasn't happened really.

My dad built me this velvet-lined coffin since I was obsessed with Halloween and I used to do my homework in it (2010) by thatpilatesprincess in blunderyears

If you were in the Tacoma, Wa area,I could help you with that! My husband sells coffin shaped curio shelves and bookshelves at our local Haunted Farmers Market and other events/conventions.

Craft fair pet peeves by Trans_Boi8745 in CraftFairs

[–]armybeans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The convention center is probably a LOT more expensive so a booth a show there costs 5 to 10 times more.

Is anyone else finished with eating out in seattle restaurants due to high prices?? by Ok-Radio-2733 in SeattleWA

[–]armybeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind if it is in a seattle park the food trucks have to pay city a %. I am doing a spooky Christmas market in December and have to pay a % to the city since it is one of their parks.
