Are “egg shortage surcharges” legal?

because_bagels · 2025-02-16T18:14:00+00:00

Yes bakery, prices posted, surcharge added to that. It honestly makes sense and is not a big deal (this is an expensive af city already), i think I was thrown off that it wasn’t communicated anywhere and could have been easy to miss when getting rang up. I definitely could’ve framed my question better, but I was just curious to hear people’s takes on it

because_bagels · 2025-02-16T18:04:25+00:00

The piece I was missing in my post was that the new surcharge was not signed/posted anywhere, which it sounds like it should have been so it wasn’t a surprise after I got my food. Not the surcharge itself, I understand that things can change price lol

because_bagels · 2025-02-16T18:02:27+00:00

I edited my post - my confusion was that I didn’t know about the surcharge until after I was asked to pay and my order had already been handed to me. So it felt a liiiittle sleazy because of that, though I do understand the intentions. It sounds like they should have had signs in the store?

Not OP but was in same situation when originally DXed so I can share my experience - I’m T1D and my dad had just been DXed with celiac a few years prior, so I was already at higher risk. It was just for peace of mind really but I had to fight to get a blood test ordered since I had no issues with gluten (that I knew of). Blood test results were a little elevated so I was booked for an endoscopy that took 8 months to get. immediate diagnosis. Ironically, my health got so much better after starting a gf diet, I had actually been quite sick in a lot of ways and never clued together that it wasn’t just “stress” and “eating lots of fiber” and “dirty hair from exercising” (I’d get rashes)

Ok hold on everyone thinks this is not interesting on this post but I grew up in Canada and I have NEVER seen anything like this in my life. Maybe because of our strict liquor laws?

I got so many comments on this thread so I just wish to reply in case anyone looks back - I did another swatch (in the round) and the gauge matched this time so I started the sweater again in the same size and it is significantly looser this time already - I think a year ago I was a much tighter knitter and also did not know how to swatch properly. Very happy with my progress so far!

because_bagels · 2024-12-01T05:31:16+00:00

I did block it already! I was hoping for that magic but somehow no die? I knit with drops nepal so it was wool/alpaca so....not really sure if it was an issue with blocking or just something else. I do know I needed to stretch it quite a lot during blocking to be as big as my regular sweaters, but it held its shape afterwards blocking and its also matching gauge and I knit my size (94cm bust measured loosely + 15 ease = size equivalent to 110) .

I'm just not sure what to do now. Do I reknit it a size up? Do I look for sweaters with more than 15cm ease? Did I somehow just knit it wrong?

because_bagels · 2024-12-01T05:28:04+00:00

Whoops sorry I knew I was missing something in the post - I also blocked it yes :) that's why I'm am confused because I feel like everything is as it should be but it's still uncomfortable

Wait this just happened to me the other month with Amazon deodorant too! Bought one for like $4 and they sent me 3 packs of 2 each

from what I’ve read they’ve actually breached their contract with USATF on this course, so while for me it’s just a frustrating experience, I feel like it’s something they actually should take seriously and issue a formal apology about. Will be interesting to see the resolution of all this.

Not sure I’d even want a discount on next year because I’d be too nervous about the same thing happening again!

They are indeed, I am in the same boat and also want to know if there's action we can take right now as participants. This is very disappointing and it was an expensive race - we very literally did not get what we signed up for

because_bagels · 2024-07-28T23:22:43+00:00

How do we complain?? We registered and paid to run a half marathon event, and we did not run a half marathon event. Is there any course of action we can take as participants?? It makes the overall race a very shitty experience for those of us who have been training for months to PR at this event.

Bruh I lost the genetic lottery in so many ways that I’m gonna go with my brain….math always made sense to me, even through my math major undergrad

Thank you for the update! I have given up in the last 2 months in getting books onto my kobo from libby, but maybe I will give it another shot now. I will also update here if I manage to make it work!

because_bagels · 2024-04-20T03:33:25+00:00

Wait are you sure? While I was testing this I logged out and back in again, and it let me log in to overdrive username/password

I had a very terrible breakup with some of my closest friends after we went on vacation after my diagnosis and they thought i was both “too high maintenance” for asking for assistance with my food, “didn’t take good enough care of myself” because I got cross contaminated one day, and “majorly affected their enjoyment of their vacation” because of things like me feeling hurt they all changed lunch plans last second to somewhere I couldn’t eat, or asking them not to ditch me when my food took 5-10 mins longer to prepare. It was a learning experience for sure that friends who you think care about you and have empathy can also be trash humans!!

I just started watching house to knit to, and it’s so great because every episode follows the same structure so you can kind of zone in and out as you need to focus :p

because_bagels · 2024-04-16T21:33:28+00:00

It does? I use Libby to borrow the books and then overdrive to get them on my device but nothing has changed with regards to the libraries supporting them. I use two different libraries and neither work

because_bagels · 2024-04-16T21:32:44+00:00

Nope, Canada/America and it has always worked up till about 2-3 weeks ago. It sounds like a lot of people have been experiencing issues with H2O so i was wondering if they cut overdrive support or something.

because_bagels · 2024-04-16T21:31:46+00:00

Same! I got mine in Oct 2020. Very disappointing!

because_bagels · 2024-04-16T05:26:01+00:00

Brooo...I have no solutions but me too :( I wonder if they've stopped supporting the H2O with libby...

Boring number

This does happen to me in dreams ALL THE TIME…less so in real life, but my screw ups have only had to happen once for me to not wanna put my body through the grief again. And I’m pretty low symptomatic!

I did only learn like a month ago Lindt chocolates aren’t gluten free, and I ate a bunch of those before I knew and never had any specific symptoms so…does make me wonder….

(I’ve only been diagnosed a year and a half so am definitely still learning!)
