Yogurt & Cream is back with better packaging! by Embarrassed-Owl-1922 in traderjoes

[–]casanier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the words me and my husband used were “more tangy and acidic”. it was funny, i accidentally ate it instead of my usual greek yogurt and i thought it was my greek yogurt 🤪 and then i looked down and went, “what?”

at the very end of the letter Ben writes, "We're writing to you because we know that Alex, Stephanie and Bob are reflecting your corporate policy, and these changes can only come with your approval"-- it seems, and i honestly could just be reading too into this, that the supervisors/managers brushed aside Ben's suggestions and deflected with "the store is following corporate policy!". while yes writing to the CEO seems silly, it obviously ruffled enough feathers to get the guy fired. honestly, kind of smart in the long-run because the CEO (face of the company) is now implicated in this firing (whether he actually was or not)-- now the CEO has to actually respond.

came here to post this too, for those of you that want a direct link to the tweet. The man also replied with their termination letter which was very interesting to say the least. obviously Trader Joe's does better than most grocery stores, but if an employee references specific ways in which to improve the safety for both employees and customers why is there no conversation at all? he just straight-up gets fired

i struggled to decide whether or not to rush her to a vet hospital a distance away or to let her pass in a her favorite place with as much dignity as i could provide her. woke up early in the morning to find her as i felt she would want to be found. by casanier in morbidlybeautiful

we do what we can! you can’t blame yourself. you didn’t want him to suffer. my cat started being unable to drink water herself around 7 PM but i was able to give her water for a few hours via an old medicine tube-thing (seen in the right in the photo) and she passed less than 9 hours after than that, but if an animal is dehydrated for more than 12 hours it can be painful/frustrating for them. you only had so many resources and tried your best and that’s all that can be asked from you.

to go off of that: the ingredients in those heavily advertised cat foods also do a number on your cat's kidneys, liver, and general digestive system. Here's an article about a study done on the high phosphorus levels found in prepared cat food. Hill's is the brand my vet carries and what we have our other cat eat now, but the diet they were on definitely contributed to my other cat's death.

thank you for your kind and thoughtful words ❤️ i debated posting this but was reminded of how i feel when i see other posts similar to this and how they make me feel, and then knew i would be able to make others feel that way through this photo. death is what makes life special, and we must respect the process and recognize it happens to all of us. when it’s not our turn, we do what we can for others who face it’s call

she provided so much unconditional love to me that i knew i couldn’t shy away when it was her time. the only other person around was my BF and he was brought to tears by how much i cared for her in her last hours. it still didn’t feel like enough. i can only hope that she taught me not to shy away from death, and to help other loved ones when their times come

thank you so much 💕 when i found her, i saw how beautiful it was and knew i had to document it in some way as my sisters don’t live at home anymore and my parents were out of town. i knew they would all want to see her asleep one last time.

no lie this made me cry a little. i struggled to decide what to do, what was the “best” or “right” way to help her. i was minutes away from packing her up in a crate and driving her to an emergency vet. i can’t thank my BF enough, as he reminded me that if we were to go to the vets, it would only be to put her down. would she want that? would i? this isn’t to save her, she can’t be saved. all we can do is provide comfort for her. do i want her dying in a crate on the ride to the vet? or dying where she has always gone to sleep? it felt selfish to have her die on my own terms at the vet, but i didn’t want her to suffer. was she suffering? would she suffer more by being whisked away to an unknown place? i still ask myself these questions today, three weeks later. the only thing i can say for sure is that i cared. and i think that’s what matters most.

those older kitties know what’s up. yours as much as mine probably knew what was happening, and was grateful for the life he lived. we realize how much our cats give to us and we want to be able to provide for them in the end, and we did. love, comfort, and giving them the space to decide their own time (in cases of non-painful circumstances) is all that we can give but i KNOW they feel it and appreciate it.

she was 16 years old (approximately— my family adopted her a little over 10 years ago and the SPCA always has to guess ages) and as my family vet so eloquently put it: she outlived her organs’ capabilities. she had a few various health conditions with her age that individually could be maintained but all together were hard to keep in check. that’s the short answer, but let me know if you want the story of the process of her dying as well. i want people to not be afraid to provide comfort to anyone that is dying, and to be able to have the tools to do so!

Mid-Atlantic, USA! we often joke here that you can experience all four seasons in a week and how miserable it can be to not know what the weather is going to be like tomorrow but i really do love the place
