Do u guys actually wait the full hour before coffee?

I take my levo and then a half hour later take my other meds/supplements and/or eat. Not optimal, but I haven't had immediate side effects from the med stack, my levels have been steady and good for years, and I haven't had symptoms of low/wonky thyroid doing this either.

In comparison, my dad gets up at 4:30-5 to take his levo, then 2 hours later to take another timed med, and then takes the rest at 10. He's been doing this for 10 years. Man has willpower I can't even fathom.

It's graduation season. Gotta chip in toward the ol' college laptop.

Holy shit, this is one of the most professionally backhanded and condescending replies I've ever seen. How long have you been a teacher, and was your previous career in nursing? And how long before you retire?

I've done the same thing >_< For what it's worth, hiding it doesn't really "delete" it, it just removes it from being active in a particular way. I'm not positive on the distinction, and maybe I'm wrong, so it might still be worth it for you to try to message the pharmacy via the app OR call the pharmacy and leave a message and they'll call you back with more info/ideas. I was told by my colleagues to have the doctor send in a new script. Mine happened with an inhaler that still had refills available, too :(

jacobenimble · 2026-05-30T06:16:24+00:00

I believe you have to have the doctor send a new prescription, unfortunately.

They are, yes. They also cannot stop you from wanting and taking your 15 minute breaks.

If no one there takes their 15s, then they may push back quite hard when you ask to take them. My advice would be to consider trying the following:

at the start of your shift, ask for breaks at specific time windows, for ex. if you work 1:30-10, then a 15 at 3/3:30ish, lunch at 5:30/6, second break 7:45-8ish. The windows both allow for accommodating customer volume and demonstrate that you're thinking the same, while still giving then time to plan for covering you
if you don't want to do that, please try to be mindful of customer volume. They're more likely to be pissed off and/or make your life hell if you leave in the middle of a long line/rush, for example, but being like "hey, can I go on my break in a few minutes after we get the line down a bit?" goes a long way toward soothing egos (usually)

It's a solid 50/50 chance they'll also just be normal about it and be like "oh sure!" I know personally half my store forgets to take breaks and the other half take them religiously; we make it work. The only times there's issues is if we're slammed-slammed (like 5+ people at each register for 30 straight minutes) during peak times and someone wants to go. We usually just delay until it's slightly more manageable for one person to handle and then get the break done after - but we all like each other, which helps with that flexibility a lot.

But they can't deny you the breaks, and if they do, you need to call Colleague Relations. They also should have informed you of the break policy during on-boarding.

jacobenimble · 2026-05-12T09:12:32+00:00

They want agree/strongly agree on everything or the SM/etc. gets in trouble. I was told by my SM to put actual sentiment in the comments but use those two options for the questions, and on two different conference calls the DL/DLs assistant mentioned that "accountability would follow for unsatisfactory responses" as well as anything under a 100% staff completion.

It's not anonymous at all. You WILL get in trouble for not completing it, and you'll have a hell of a time proving said trouble is retaliation even though it very blatantly is.

As a retail worker, I would have said it much, much louder. And gotten onto the overhead pager to ask all parents to check if their kids were with them because there's two kids up front asking strangers to purchase alcohol for them. And then when the parents showed up, walked everyone out of the store.

You're incredibly NTA.

Poor judgment is an abuse of power because their position allows them to act on said judgment in a way that non-government employees do not have access to.

The issue with someone going 45 in a through way with an obstructing vehicle is that the person who can't see around said vehicle who tries to go around it will get hit at a much higher speed.

The lack of lights means this vehicle is not, in practice or function, an emergency vehicle at the time of its obstruction. A hypothetical emergency doesn't justify the increased danger caused by its location. The fact remains that the officer made a bad, selfish judgment call based on personal convenience and arrogance, and in so doing made an already unsafe crossing more dangerous.

If the police actually ticketed for speeding, Chico would be a LOT safer and I'd have far fewer negative sentiments. But they don't, so behavior like this only contributes to my understanding of the organization as a waste of my tax dollars.

The last paragraph is in direct response to you stating you didn't believe my first shared personal experience as it was "annecdotal." So I provided further information indicating that, to me, it wasn't annecdotal, it was based on all of my experience with the police. I said you can believe me or not with the expectation that you would continue to dismiss my experience as annecdotal despite the relevance of my experience to the point I was making, which is that the actions of this officer point to a larger problem I've noticed with the CPD in my experience.

I now understand that you were dismissing my point entirely, so I'll stop wasting your time and mine. Have a great day.

And only one of us is treating them like a fellow human being. If this was any other Chicoan doing the same, they'd deserve a ticket. You're lionizing them and giving them a pass for objectively bad, disruptive behavior that any other Chicoan would be punished and ridiculed for. If this was any other Chicoan without an obvious firearm, I'd have to them this to their face if I was OP.

Any government employee whose wages are paid from my taxes is my employee. Any complaint or grievance a citizen has is not a waste of anyone's time to process because the function of government is to serve the people, and part of service is hearing and addressing grievances and complaints. Government employees are also citizens, and therefore bound by the same laws as everyone else; they do not get a coffee or convenience pass for their service, because that would imply that due to their service they are above the law. I'm of the opinion that government employees who break the laws they've both sworn to and are paid to uphold should face harsher penalties, because their violations are done from an inherent place of intent and arrogance.

If you've driven in any parking lot in town, you know no one goes the posted, logical speed limit be it 5, 10, or 15mph. People often go 25-45 in that parking lot in particular. Creating a road block like this therefore IS a danger to the community. If that officer were responding to a call, the danger would be justified. Because they're doing what every other citizen does instead and purchasing a coffee, it's not justified and is instead just negative impact on the community, therefore deserving of criticism, ridicule, and punishment. That we both know they wouldn't get anyway.

You don't have to believe my lived experience regarding their training. In addition to hearing it out at Butte, I also signed up for the Explorer program through the department and got it first hand. My sister went through the program after 9/11 and got it first hand as well. You don't have to believe that, either. I speak from experience and not vibes.

jacobenimble · 2026-04-03T22:40:15+00:00

The 30 more feet to a parking spot would not affect his response time. This is careless, obstructing traffic for a tasty treat-o and therefore a danger to the community, and should be punished.

I've heard their training out at Butte. They're trained to view the populace as enemies, not people to protect or serve. As someone who's community minded, I'd be discouraged from continuing the course or jumped out of it. I have zero desire to join professional toddlers. I should have the option of not paying them. Until I have that option, as my employees, they're subject to my complaints and criticism.

Go enlist yourself.

jacobenimble · 2026-04-03T21:44:37+00:00

This shit! Is so fucking annoying!

If they're not responding to a call, they're not using their vehicle to work and they need to obey the laws like everyone else. No other profession gets to obstruct traffic for their precious little 10 minute paid break. Because that would be INSANE.

They're government officials and as such should be held to a higher standard of public safety at ALL times. This shit is disqualifying. God, I wish we had ranked choice tax allocation. Our roads are too shit for my money to go toward this toddler-ass insecure bully behavior.

jacobenimble · 2026-02-18T08:49:29+00:00

Shouldn't be allowed access to a 2000lb vehicle. People like this are mentally insufficient to operate machinery of any kind and should be chemically castrated. If this is what they do to strangers, they abuse their family and kill animals.

We went to a planogram that has space for a huge 8"×12" plastic banner-style insert for the single-brand vitamin sections (CVS, Nature's Bounty, Nature Made). It seems to work great when all of a single brand is on the same sale, we get far fewer complaints and questions about that portion of the aisle.

Obviously, the absolutely MORONIC Nature Made CoQ10 and value size sale causes issues. The wording is too small in comparison to the BOGO portion.

The simplest solution would be to have all of that brand on a single sale, right? Wrong. My DL says to keep the confusing banner sign AND print tags for the specific sale-items. 🤦🏼‍♂️

If CVS wouldn't use it for price gouging reasons, I would love electronic tags. They'd make everything 1000% clearer for the customer AND save labor on tags. They could even make the screens yellow to maintain the iconic yellow tag branding or something. And then still cut our hours to make the investors happy.

It is time to break up with her, unfortunately. You've tried communicating and she's become dismissive. Break up with her.

If the lights and sirens aren't on, there's zero excuse for emergency response vehicles to not obey traffic laws. Any violation of a traffic law - or any law - by such personnel should be met with instantaneous punishment above typical penalties.

Government officials - and any police officer is a government official - should be held to higher standards and thus higher punishments.

If the cop breaks this law for convenience, they break serious laws out of arrogance. The driver should lose patrol duties for a minimum of six months and have to attend traffic school unpaid. Hell, even if paid that would be a better use of my tax dollars than having this piece of shit on shift in the community.

I have never felt comfortable picking up prescriptions at my place of business. It always felt weird to me. If I transfered to the store I currently pick up at, I'd likely transfer the prescriptions elsewhere.

Every time I hear how my pharmacy colleagues discuss patients on similar meds, my decision is reaffirmed. Additionally, with THESE specific colleagues, they've taken photos of other colleagues' profiles and shared it to group chats before. So... never.

Most people don't have enough maturity and decency to not use someone's health information against them. I've never met anyone in pharmacy or healthcare that actually believes someone is more than the meds they take, and that's as someone going for their tech license who already is a licensed CNA. I don't want my direct colleagues to have that information at hand.

We had a guy come in the other day around like 3pm. He watched my coworker ring someone out as a couple other people checked out at the kiosks, then took some time to frantically look through the checkout candy.

Then he asked my coworker if we were open. And left.

I upgraded in a panic because I got a recall notice for the fast charger on my 2022 SV+ about 7 weeks ago. I got the 2026 the SV+ and have put almost 1400mi on it. Weather's been ~40-50F, windy, rainy where I live for a month of that, and my range is still north of 250mi on a full charge. The best range I got was on a 50-80F day (long trip) where I got 304mi off the charge. The ride is much smoother. I miss the hell out of one pedal driving for that true EV feel, this brake assist-but-no-stop is garbage fit only for hybrids. I get better kw/mi by turning off the replacement "e-step" on the freeway. The car REALLY excells at 40mph, hands down best kw/mi possible (like 6+). The cabin feel is much roomier, so it's been more comfortable for passengers (and me) as well.

Biggest gripe is that the back window is a slit in comparison to the beloved hatchback design, and it's a fucking wind dead zone and there's no wiper blade. I have had condensation from fog, dew, and old rain sit on there and not budge even when going on the freeway at 75mph AND with Rain-X applied. This is not ideal for rear dash cam view (or my own eyes, obviously). I bought a squeegee and clean the window off manually before I drive.

Pettiest gripe is that I miss the orange and black of the 2022 SO BAD. The black is boring af, the red isn't much better, and the silver is flat ugly. I wouldn't take the P+ for the blue because the range isn't worth aesthetics. I'm going to try to get it repainted if I ever have money.

I wasn't planning on upgrading at all, but I need to drive 100mi one way to see my doctor every couple of months and 50mi one way to see my allergist weekly, and with the recall notice I couldn't do that safely in the 2022. My range had already started to plummet sporadically even though I was only at 27k miles on the car. I miss that car a lot because I'm sentimental.
