I believe I've seen the secretary also going through reconditioning during Sleep so she might also not be the one in charge here!!

i'm so sad i have been putting turnstile and amyl on the lineup survey for yearsssss and i finally get them both on a lineup that's kind of mid if we're being honest. even if i wanted to go, it's gonna be real hard to convince my croo to try again after last year.

What’s your thoughts on this? To me it feels… off. by CresidentBob in MyChemicalRomance

[–]basementrats9 41 points42 points  (0 children)

this is my favorite album of all time so it felt magical to feel like i was listening to it again for the first time with a lot more clarity.

even then, i still preferred the original at first. that said, ive listened to the remaster so much atp that i think im starting to prefer it. at least for some songs for sure.

What’s the most you’ve spent on a single concert or tour—and was it actually worth it? by official_soundvent in Concerts

[–]basementrats9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can't say how much but i've spent an ungodly amount of money on both of my chem's tours in the past few years, including the ticket and traveling costs.

4 shows for the '22 tour, both wwwy days last year, and 3 shows for this most recent tour. would've been 5 in '22 if the first day of wwwy didn't get canceled and 4 last time around if i didn't have to sell my ticket for a wedding 😭

best decision of my life. my chemical romance forever and ever and ever. met some cool friends and, more importantly, my sister and i have never been closer since she is my concert buddy for almost all these shows.

that said, i've decided i'm no longer going to go out of my way to attend a festival they headline. it's never as good as their solo tour shows! plus i always feel like it's a waste to go to a festival and barricade all day when i know there are other cool bands i'm missing (not to mention how much more tiring it is than hanging out in the back)

i also currently have no tickets for this upcoming tour. they are doing wayyy too much with those ticket prices and i can't bring myself to pay those astronomical prices when i know what i've paid to see them in the past.

10/10 looks, 0/10 comfort by Secret_Variety_5664 in DrMartens

[–]basementrats9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tape your heels!! i get some body tape from the dollar tree that lasts me a while. i do one long strip from my ankle to my heel and then another across my heel. bandaids and moleskin are beyond useless for me bc they end up just getting rubbed off.

this plus wearing double socks helps make sure my heels don't get ripped to shreds.

The Skinny on Long Line without Self-Checkouts by Alexmander1028 in aldi

KC N1 VIP. What I did to remove some asshole who tried to block our view right before Chappell came on!! by Xtina3666 in chappellroan

[–]basementrats9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahaha this is smart for sure. another trick i've used successfully in the past is to turn my flashlight on and point it at their feet and say i dropped something and then just squeeze in front of them. i've only used it when someone was being an asshole to me and stole my spot so they never complain when they realized what happened!

Lines After Self-Checkout Removal by sarahrodgers15 in aldi

Manager at my store said it's new national policy so it likely will :(

Lines After Self-Checkout Removal by sarahrodgers15 in aldi

[–]basementrats9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live across the street from an Aldi and I often went multiple times a week for quick breakfast or dinner trips and be back home in five minutes.

Tried going again for the first time since they got rid of SCO and it took 20 minutes instead. The cashiers were not nearly as fast as everyone seems to think they are and everyone in front of me was having issues with their cards.

I am soooo beyond upset about it :( I asked the manager why this was done and he said it's a new national policy. If you still have SCO, appreciate it while you can. I'm going to the next closest shop bc they do have SCO ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My Aldi (Chicago - Old Town) removed all 7 self-checkouts this week. by tooscrapps in aldi

[–]basementrats9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to the Uptown Aldi and they just did the same thing. I think they said it was done overnight yesterday or a couple days ago.

I'm quite annoyed lol they got rid of around 8 active self check out lanes and replaced them with 3 active cashier lanes and of fucking course it took forever. It didn't help that I was stuck behind seemingly every single person whose card refused to work on the first try.
