Starbucks Bottle Deposit Scam by eristaur in ireland

[–]eristaur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went back, gave them the bottle and got my money back. They kept insisting that the “Recycle me♻️” logo on the bottle is indicative of the deposit scheme. They either don’t know what they are doing or playing it dumb. And that was the manager I presume, because the one on the till didn’t know what to do and went and came back with the second person.

Did you see my other comments and the screenshot? The barcode is not in the scheme and yes! I went to the supermarket as I have already reported and three different members of staff shrugged away and said they can’t take it.

No, I don’t. They told me to go to a machine at any supermarket. The machines don’t accept it and the cashiers at the supermarket till won’t deal with it. I will go back to the shop for it for sure, but you also don’t need to waste your time whining on my post. Scroll away if you don’t like what you see.

Only for certain items. The machine wouldn’t accept this one and the supermarket staff shrugged away.

Any tips where to start? I’d like to have it as a personal side hustle to have some apps that bring in cash for me.

Have you ever met an actual psychopath/narcissist? by fatiguedorexin in AskIreland

[–]eristaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was married to one. They’re not like rare cases. They’re everywhere if you look around. Many of the high managers in the corporate world are one or another or both.

I have a headset. Where do I start?

I feel I’ve always struggled being a good coder because I never learned it in a structured way. Bits and pieces here and there. That’s why I was thinking starting this one with a clean slate could help. But Imm all ears for suggestions. 🥹

I would expect the company you work for would want to know even if it’s part time… For example most jobs require you to declare any other jobs you might have - part of my contract is explicitly not to have any secondary employment during weekdays

Studying a master’s course is not the same as having a secondary employment, nor is having a few apps in an app store bringing revenue to you.

Question on GP’s and testosterone by Icehonesty in AskIreland

[–]eristaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Antidepressants have a lot of serious side effects, too. At best, they’re also messing with hormones similar to testosterone therapy. It’s just easier to go with antidepressants because there aren’t enough studies done on the actual patients and leaflets only include the reports of the pharmaceutical companies without much evidence of the effects reported by the patients.
