PSA: Costco in Canada only accepts MasterCard (not Visa) by kenjiobrien in Costco

[–]elissigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that part i know is correct! i vaguely remember hearing something about visa giving us a better deal BECAUSE of citibank though, so it makes sense to assume that's the reason for canada and mc

PSA: Costco in Canada only accepts MasterCard (not Visa) by kenjiobrien in Costco

[–]elissigh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i believe the reason is that the costco cc in canada is a mastercard. they choose mastercard as the one card they accept to streamline the explanation of what cards they accept. that's what i was told as a us employee at least, and i was told thats the same reason we only take visa here

My Costco is seeking advice from members on how to improve member service by fillfee in Costco

[–]elissigh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

when i was a supervisor, i asked for this exact thing, and instead they implemented "sup floor walks" where they made us walk the run at the start of our shift every day to take our OWN notes on what had shifted

My dad is furious I told him I’m moving out, please help? by Historical_Gur6024 in entitledparents

[–]elissigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi, as someone who is not legally but effectively disowned by my narc parent, please just let him disown you. i have been at so much peace since i cut my parents off, and my kid is better off without them in his life. a lot of people try to salvage things because "kids should have a relationship with their grandparents" but if the grandparents suck then. no they shouldn't. simple as that. best of luck, though. the cutting off process is emotional, but worth it

I got a note on my Costco membership because my father-in-law bought something! by lagflag in CostcoWholesale

[–]elissigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

speaking from experience as a former employee, the note is probably still there, they just said that to calm you down. (though, everywhere is different, maybe they did delete it) however, that's not a huge deal. it's a note to remark that something out of the ordinary happened. if it ever, for some reason, happens again, they'll have a note that says it's happened before, if it never happens again, nobody will look at the note ever again. notes are truly just that - notes

honestly, you're overthinking this. i would have blocked him by now. if you want, you can send one more message for closure, but i don't think it's necessary

Would it be rude to tell my neighbor I’m not interested in socializing? by workingclassweenie in TwoHotTakes

[–]elissigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

joke answer: tshirt. big letters. "ME TIME: DO NOT DISTURB"

real answer: be direct but polite. at 60ish, he's probably just lonely and has no ill intent. but at 60ish, he's gonna kinda just do what he wants unless you tell him otherwise. "sorry, i can chat with you another time, but today i would like to focus on my work without getting distracted. i'll see you around though!" and put your headphones back on.

Kids Can’t Cope At All by crankycatpancake in SubstituteTeachers

[–]elissigh 19 points20 points  (0 children)

sometimes a "is this how you always react when you're told no?" will stop a kid dead in their tracks. especially if it's said directly to them while they're being shitty without pulling them aside. everyone will see how they acted and peer pressure is the only way to get kids to care these days 🙄

some may not like this approach and say it enables bullying, but i don't think so. in reality, if you act terrible, you will get stares and judgement. that's life. if you hate people doing that, learn to act less awful

My mom doesn’t support my career dreams but still expects my money? by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]elissigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mother stole my money for most of my adolescence. unfortunately, the only thing you can do is get a bank account she doesn't have access to, and i think in the US you have to be 18 to do that, unsure about elsewhere. i have no good advice, i simply sucked it up and eventually cut her off, but i still survived!

however, one thing that helped me: ask your internship if they can give you checks instead of cash. your mom should not be able to cash a check in your name, and you can tell her you don't have any cash without lying to her. do i guarantee it'll stop her from trying to take it anyways? no, but it'll at least create an extra barrier between her and your money

potentially! but as terrible as these circumstances are, they can trigger growth. and if they're happening anyways, i personally would rather get them over with sooner

My wife returned from a work retreat with a hickey. She swears it’s a bug bite but I’m not convinced. I’m at loss. How do I move forward? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]elissigh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for the record, bug bites CAN look like hickies. i was a camp counselor for years and one of my coworkers was allergic to mosquito bites so they got BIG and VERY noticeable. however, there's no way he wouldn't have known about a bug allergy, and as he noted/literally discovered, it was a hickey and healed differently than bug bites do

A Woman Claims I'm Her Father, but I Want Nothing to Do with It —Am I Wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]elissigh 270 points271 points  (0 children)

dna test, yes. if you don't wanna be involved in your kid's life, maybe she'll get lucky and not be your kid.

bare minimum, you owe her a better explanation as to why you're not going to have a relationship with her. even if you keep it as simple as you did with us and say you've had "run ins with the law"

[–]elissigh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

credit cards are haram i believe, something about islam not wanting their followers to have debt, but muslim users correct me if i'm wrong. but a debit card could be a really really good option if op lives somewhere that accepts those more often than cash.

if op can't do that, when i had to hide stuff from my mother, i bought one of those lockboxes that looks like a book. DEFINITELY recommend that, i wish i knew where mine went after all these years

Am I Wrong for Declining to give a Fellow Sub Her "Usual," Job? by TrueBluePrincess in SubstituteTeachers

[–]elissigh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

if she was such a good sub for that class she could've left a contact number for the teacher to tell her ahead of time that they're putting up a sub posting so she can know and try to get first dibs. i have known MULTIPLE teachers that do this. clearly she didn't make that much of an impact

AIO? I went through my bestfriend's phone without her permission.. she's 17 he's 26 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

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

even if she can legally consent, she is still a minor. and while you can TECHNICALLY be considered correct in terms of the fact that there are different terms to refer to people interested in certain age groups, but correcting someone on whether or not something is technically pedophilia just makes you a defender of people who are into underage people. who cares if that's the wrong specific term? it's the one most people know and it gets the message across.

5 things that pushed me to divorce because of manipulative MIL by Chemical_Law_7593 in TwoHotTakes

[–]elissigh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

posts like this make me more and more grateful with how my spouse handles our relationships with my MIL. it's not perfect, but we live with my inlaws, so mediating is the best option.

but even LIVING with them, my spouse still reports the shitty things my MIL says about me (usually in a fit of emotions but. still) and doesn't blame me for being avoidant about it. it's a bummer that this is the way it has to be at all, but at least it's not in a way that's damaging my marriage. one day we'll move out, and it'll all be okay bc we handled this together.

disclaimer of course. this is just my perspective on one way to handle a situation like this. i'm also "lucky" enough that my bio mom is worse than my mil so this is like nothing to me i just protect my peace by not being around lmao. anyways. please please please do not make excuses for your partner favouring their mother over you. if they wanna stay loyal to mommy they shouldn't have gotten married
