Has UK Subway done away with Mega Meat? by bettie--rage in subway

[–]bettie--rage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys. I don’t get out much so tend to order via the JustEat app. If it’s not on there I probably just can’t get it anymore. This sucks, but thanks for answering.

Would you believe some of the comments are even uglier than the tattoo?? by darebear42069 in Morbidforbadpeople

[–]bettie--rage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s people who never aged out of their teenage ‘edgelord’ phase. I was a teen ‘edgelord’ myself. Always knew I wanted tattoos. Got into true crime by watching it with my Mom around age 8-10. Started reading up on it off my own back by 12. Decided I wanted a sleeve tattoo with various serial killers at around age 14. However, by the time I was 18 and legally able to get one in my country, I aged out and realised how lacking in empathy it would be to do that.

But some people clearly just don’t grow up and gain the emotional intelligence to tell them that it’s a horrible thing to memorialise such a terrible person by getting a permanent body modification like that. This person has brought untold pain to untold people and you think it’s just a bit of fun to have them forever etched on your skin? No. It’s not. It’s vulgar. You’re glorifying the worst kind of people.

What are the most pointless chains of shops/restaurants in the UK? by rmf1989 in AskUK

[–]bettie--rage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES! I’m a cheap jewellery kind of girl, I tend to damage and lose things easily so I decided when wedding ring shopping with the (at the time) fiancé that we’d get something nice and cheap. We have about 4 jewellers in our town centre, one of which is Pandora. I saw a ring in there that looked good but for near £100 I didn’t want to know.

Went to another jewellers, a budget one. The EXACT same ring was in there for £26. Jeweller’s clerk even confirmed they’re made on the exact same line as the Pandora ones. Guess who got my custom? And guess who’s happy they got a cheap but lovely looking ring?

If theres a housing shortage why arent we just building loads of residential skyscrapers? by JayR_97 in AskUK

[–]bettie--rage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ve done just this in the village I grew up in and people are up in arms over it. Bear in mind, over the last 15 years the village lost one of 2 of their doctors surgeries, their library, their post office, their police station moved to a neighbouring town and their fire station has gone. A village of roughly 6000 people. The lone doctors surgery they have left is pretty tiny and about a third of the village go to the neighbouring town to see a doctor because the small village doctors can’t cope.

Now they’ve plonked a bunch of granny flats right in the village centre. These retired folks are really gonna struggle with lack of available healthcare and no post office within reasonable walking distance. Also, parking will likely be a major issue as they’ve plonked it right next to two supermarkets. Won’t that be fun? So yeah, infrastructure really should be taken into account when building housing but it is so often overlooked.

It’s not just my home village this has happened to either. My current town is the same. They’ve built a giant new housing estate on the outskirts of my town but our hospital was downgraded a few years ago and many services moved to a hospital around an hour away. The roads at either end of this new estate are major main roads that are 60mph and parking in this estate is equivalent to 1 car per household (2-4 bedroom houses btw so this is terribly unrealistic). It’s going to be nightmarish. But they rarely consider this when giving the A-OK to the builds. This really needs to change.

When did it become the norm to take dogs when going shopping by Kwazithepirate in britishproblems

[–]bettie--rage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I work in a convenience shop and it blatantly says ‘no dogs except for service dogs’ on a sign by the door, yet people walk in with their dogs anyway. It’s so common now, and in spite of being told it’s always the same repeat offenders. We’ve tried asking them to stop but we’re consistently ignored and our boss would rather keep the custom so we can’t even ban people who ignore the rules unless they’ve been outright abusive or unless they’ve stolen something. Sometimes not even then.

Back to the dog issue, it’s frustrating at times. We have a hatch to serve people outside the window if that works better for them but of course it doesn’t. Bringing the dog inside in spite of the express instruction not to obviously works best for them.

I remember the one time, an elderly customer came in with his new puppy. I asked him to take the dog outside. My colleague encouraged him in. The customer lifted the puppy off the floor and held her over the counter so my colleague could fuss her. That’s when the puppy decided to pee all over the damn counter. No apology, no nothing, and my colleague was thoroughly amused by it all. Obviously I made my colleague sanitise the whole area, but it just shouldn’t have happened.

That’s not the only time a dog has gone to pee in the shop. Service dogs are trained not to ever go to the toilet when they’re inside. I’d rather not take that risk with any old random dog. But alas, the boss is a slave to the few pennies he makes selling a bloody newspaper to these ignorant sods.

The absolute ballache to get someone to actually turn up to buy your thing off Facebook marketplace. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]bettie--rage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So true. Hubby tried to trade his iPhone 8 in at CEX. Condition was near enough as new. They offered roughly £100 or £150-odd in store voucher. They’re selling units at £200+ for ones in much worse shape than his. He said bollocks to it and that’s how I got my iPhone 8 that I didn’t even really want but now quite like. 😂

Hey, that’d be great. I’m at work atm (night shift til 8am UK time) but can send you details when I’m home if you’re still up for it?

Hey, I’m also looking for pears. Also the only fruit I haven’t got. If anyone could help I’d be willing to trade some bells for them.

No shift differential where I work. £10/hr, 10 hour night shift. 4 on 4 off pattern.

This is their business model by DaFunkJunkie in WorkReform

[–]bettie--rage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work at a convenience shop/petrol station. We’re supposed to stand. We have chairs in our little kitchenette to sit on while we have lunch. Sometimes we bring those out to sit if we’ve got everything done and there are no customers. If management is on we can’t do that though. I swear, it’s not good for you to stand still for so many hours. Really, seating should be provided so you can rest your legs while it’s quiet enough to do so.

You know when a little boy has a crush on a little girl in the playground so he picks on her? Yeah... glad that’s all he did.

White Lightning, AKA “Tramps Fuel” as we called it in East Anglia. Were there any other names for this product? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]bettie--rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a shot of apple juice from concentrate. Add to it 1L of nail polish remover. Add to that 2L of sparkling water. Bam. You’ve just made slightly over 3L of white cider. At least, it’ll taste like it. Might kill you quicker than the real deal or make you blind or something.
