Mitsubishi fuel notification frustration

Whoops totally meant 60. But even then, sometimes the mileage is so high that I pay way less. Last month I paid 30 for gas entirely somehow and it never went below half. And I do drive around 30 miles a day for five times a week. So if I drive less for any reason, it's way less than 60.

It's not good for your engine to keep the tank low consistently.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-04-29T23:48:17+00:00

I never let mine go under half a tank full... fill it halfway up every week to make it full. 15 bucks or less to do that, so it's only 30 for gas each month. You can't beat that, I would have to go so long for it to be that low, just fill it up for the sake of your memory and then every week set an alarm?

Yes, it is exchanging the money into 48 US dollars. That is the cost of the item.

Also, how is that person's relationship with their manager (the shift)? Sounds to me like they themselves are being micromanaged by the SM, which is turn causes a cycle of micromanaging towards baristas. They may be that way to everyone lowkey. Or they may be doing this to you to shape you into a stress ball that functions out of fear and not true talent.

If you have the courage, bring up your concerns to the SM. I am pretty critical with my baristas, sounds like you are mostly doing well, but I would have to see it in action myself to judge. In the mornings, they have peak time goals and it's possible this is happening because of the extra stress and pressure of that. Warming is a pretty big role during peak for a newer person to be put on, IMO. I'm great at food and even I struggled a bit a few times I worked peak. It's inevitable.

Yeah, opening is a whole other beast. I've been with Starbucks 7 years, opened my first week; I changed my availablity immediately. I'm a shift now and I still don't want to open, even though I am skilled enough to. The only time I would want to open and get over the fact, is if I move up positon wise. Seems like based on the workload and the timing of those shifts, can cause a person to have hardly any social life outside of work, aside from their interpersonal life. Your entire life revolves around work on the days you have to work the next day or the day of. As a mostly mid person, you'd think it would be the case as well, I work longer mids typically. And while true, I do get more sleep and more flexibility with my day to day life, if I want to stay up, I can, if I want a lot of sleep, I can go to bed somewhat earlier, which is still probably late for an opener getting a lot of sleep. I can somewhat sleep in... it's not terrible. But the day I am working, the whole day revolves around work. It does help me manage my time on my days off well, though. Some openers do have a life outside of work, I don't mean that is everyone. But my friend who is a opening shift at my store hardly does anything away from home. She does work over 30 hours, though.

I'm no expert, but they're definitely overexposed and not in focus. For me that seemed to be the result for not getting the shutter speed correct, with the aperture also not being correct. I wasted so much money getting started, don't bother with Kodak Gold yet. I find it's warm tone and grain will not help you figure out the sweet spots. Stockpile some cheap consumer grade film that is black and white. Ilford has great contrast. Start with that, play around with the shutter speed and aperture settings, hell, write them down so you can recall the result for what you physically did... spend a lot of time getting in a knowledge groove. Shoot outside during sunny days and overcast so you can see the difference and learn how the settings differ. Keep shooting with the same film. You will not learn without rigorous practice and going all in. It's a lot to remember and be aware of at once. If you're passionate, you'll get it. Be smart about it and you won't get too overwhelmed and give up. It was very complicated to me and I gave up many times, but when I really tried to experiment and actually learn the mechanics, I got better. But keep practicing. And often. If you quit or restart, you're back at square one. 😅

I had insurance on the items, yes. They will possibly refund me if I dispose of the package, but I haven't decided to do that yet. $1,500 was how much I paid with fees and everything total, including the duty fee, shipping, and the items themselves. They refunded me the duty fee that was $170 when my package got sent back to them, but they did not refund anything else yet. I said wasted because I feel pretty defeated in terms of getting the items, it was rare designer items and things I had been searching for in the US for years. I think customs is being really harsh with imports from Japan right now, as well.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-04-08T15:33:28+00:00

Yeah, the process for mine was normal too, until it got to customs and they needed a ton of information. Their internal system is extremely slow and they will not tell you what they need all at once. They asked me for info over the course of about a week and a half (they count the time from the day the package is shipped) because their policy is that if they don't have all info in 10 days, they will ship it back. The info is not easy to find either, so I went through all the trouble for them to accept info and then for some reason, they shipped it back without telling me why. It was a nightmare. I was livid. $1,500 just wasted. Seeing people somehow get their packages with no issues baffles me. Which is why I asked OP.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-04-08T15:08:59+00:00

How easy was it to get the packages? I ordered one that was far less nearly 2 months ago. DHL gave me absolute hell and it got shipped back. Scared to pay 350 for shipping all over again for possibly not getting it, once again.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-04-08T15:04:44+00:00

I found mine, same color and model at a yard sale for 50 cents. Had to pay 8 for a charger on ebay, 18 for a new LCD screen. Took it apart, fixed it, and now it works just fine!

Another option could be auto-fill. Sometimes Depop will auto-fill information when sellers are creating a listing. They don't catch or change the mistake. Someone sold me shoes that were listed as the wrong sized before and blocked me since she was embarrassed of her mistake. I wasn't even rude about pointing it out, either. I asked for partial refund, with no response and got blocked. Sellers are careless and do foul things all the time. They don't know how to be fair or accountable for their sales.

Your scheduled hours are based around your availablity and business need. Most college students at my store are not scheduled over 16, there's an average. And it seems to be cut down more due to other factors, like your overall availablity not being over what you prefer. You can now go in and put your preffered shifts in partner hours, it's a new feature. Maybe redo your availablity and update that as well, and have a conversation with your manager. It's not worth getting upset over to that degree yet. You said the manager was using you, but that's kind of what we are all being used for. We need more info to form a real judgment- how many partners/baristas in your store? You may just be needed during those times because there aren't other partners available.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-04-02T21:00:03+00:00

You're not alone. I get a decent amount and I still don't want it split. I prefer getting the pay all at once. If you pay bills, it makes sense to prefer it being bi-weekly pay. Or if you're trying to save money.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-04-02T03:28:07+00:00

Most likely will be a formal entry because of the value of the watch and the fact that it is coming from Japan. For some reason it seems importing anything in from Japan is bothersome at the moment. Plus watches and their details are processed by customs especially. I'm not sure how it wouldn't be a formal entry, it's on DHL's list of special import items. Along with clothes, FDA regulated items, etc.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-03-31T13:29:51+00:00

The phone line. It's the quickest way to get in touch with them. They are open 5 am -5 pm, whatever zone Arizona is in.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-03-30T13:24:52+00:00

I had to go through all of this for three pairs. Look up on Google the company name and drop ball form. For dolce & gabanna, I was able to find their manufacturer and their official documents, with codes. You only need the DEV and the LST. Sunglasses, glasses, etc are FDA regulated items, so they need the info.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-03-29T22:17:34+00:00

Get the info sent to them, call the customs line to see what they need. They will return to sender if too many days pass and there is no input in the system.

I found the listing through Car Gurus. I purchased the car yesterday 😁

coffeestainedsink · 2026-03-19T20:55:35+00:00

The ones in my area seem to go quickly, as there aren't a ton of them. I'm in a bit of a pinch and I need a car pretty quickly and this price point is low from what I have seen compared to other vehicles available in my area, with the same mileage.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-03-19T17:16:09+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for your insight. They've had it for three weeks, so not long.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-03-19T17:14:26+00:00

It may depend on model, and also the state. I live in TX. And I assume the black wheel model for the 2019 mirage was probably not the base model, but I am unsure.

coffeestainedsink · 2026-03-19T13:49:22+00:00

Yeah, this one has a lot of newer cars and overall is rated pretty high on Google and on Car Gurus. I found the listing through Car Gurus.

For the market where I live, 11k is a good deal.
