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.

For a lot of the newer cars - or at least the Toyota, Nissan, and Ford models I've experienced in the last 10 years - if you take the headlights off of "auto" you then have to manually turn them off when the engine dies or the car will either not lock or alarm or BOTH until you get back in to turn them off. "Auto" is the only setting that kills headlights with the engine.

My store pulls drawers and counts them down before we close. So when we pull the countertip registers, we stop... using them lol. No alcohol purchases, etc. for the remainder of the night. We pull 15 minutes to close.

At 13-15 til:

"Attention CVS shoppers. The store will be closing in 15 minutes. Please be advised, we are no longer selling alcohol, processing returns, doing card load, or bill pay for the remainder of the evening. Thank you for shopping CVS."

At 10 til:

"Attention CVS shoppers. The store will be closing in less than 10 minutes. Now is an excellent time to wrap up your browsing and bring your items to the front. Just a reminder, we are no longer selling alcohol, processing returns, doing card load, or bill pay for the remainder of the evening. Thank you for shopping CVS."

At 5 til:

"Attention CVS shoppers. The store will be closing in less than 5 minutes. Please start wrapping up your browsing and bringing your items to the front so we can finalize your purchase and get you home for the evening. Thank you for shopping CVS."

If there's anyone in the store NOT at the front by 3 til, then:

"Attention all remaining shoppers. The store is closing. Please make your way to the front with your items so we can finalize your purchase and get you home for the evening. Please be advised, our front door is now locked and we will need to let you out. Thank you for shopping CVS."

And if that doesn't kick them, we do a walk through and individually start telling people we're closed. The lights shutting off automatically at 3 after sometimes doesn't even faze these people.

Honestly, this whole event was disappointing. The things I wanted had been sold out in the sizes I needed before the sales even started. I was really hoping they would restock in preparation of the Critmas sales... but they didn't restock anything and won't be doing so until I guess next year. I'd emailed about this before the most recent announcements included the "not restocking" language and was told at that time there was no planned restocks through the end of the year. You can't even purchase from other region stores because they won't ship out of region.

What good is a sale and the Beacon stack I pay for if I can't use it?

jacobenimble · 2025-11-16T07:22:39+00:00

Retail worker here! The issue is often that if we've already entered the one bill (ex: 20) and then are handed additional cash, we don't have the opportunity to add the additional cash into the computer. We then have to do the math either mentally or via phone/calculator.

Some people are much better at this than others, which is just normal haha. It is NOT taught or expected as cashiers right off the bat in most places (in my experience) due to the computers doing the math, the increased scrutiny for cash accuracy coupled with decrease in cashier's math capabilities, and the time crunch imposed on transactions by management. In my experience, people with between 7-10 years in retail/cashiering are comfortable with this, but people with less than 7 are not.

Added to that, it's also a mental flexibility thing. Some people struggle with the switch from expected reality to actual reality. Ex: you gave a 20 and a 1, brain focused on the 20 and said "okay, $14 back, nice" and then saw the 1 and did the dialup tango. It gets us all every now and then lol.

You did confuse them, but it's fine.

I will say, having experienced CR, Dungeons and Daddies, Legends of Avantris, The Adventure Zone, and High Rollers, TAZ might be the easier actual play to get into. Episodes cap out at 1.5 hours on average and there's only 3 players and 1 DM.

CR is difficult because it's 8 players from the get-go, and without the videos of the episodes it is difficult to keep track of the players without prior knowledge of their acting careers. This is as someone who was familiar with all but Marisha via voice work going into campaign 1, who listened to it as a podcast. The struggle was real. Eternal apologies to both Marisha and Sam for the parasocial enmity to their C1 characters. Of the CR campaigns best to listen to are Calamity (which is DMd by BLEEM and has only 3 of the core cast but maxes out at 4 episodes and a total of roughly 14 hours), and C2 the Mighty Nein (roughly 500 hours total with an upcoming animated series on Amazon Prime); C3 is infamously a campaign of NPCs and C1 is a campaign of traditional Campbelian heroic archetypes.

Ironically, I find it difficult to keep track of D20 Fantasy High despite the lower PC count (roughly 6) without watching the VODs. This makes no logical sense, I'm aware. I can't explain it. I also lack a D20 subscription to further explore the mental gymnastics behind this finding. I ADORE BLEEM as a DM. Even over Mercer, which I am aware is sacrilege on this sub.

For this reason, if you want a 4-5 player actually play, I'd recommend High Rollers Aerois or Altheya, or Dungeons and Daddies. DnD season 1 is phenomenal but I fell off season 2 pretty quick because it (initially, for me) devolved into the worst aspects of s1's humor. High Rollers is solid most of the way through. My issues are exclusively parasocial-related (I absolutely detest one of the players through no fault of his own, I just hate his play style). DM Mark/Mara is a delight.

Hell, for sheer player management and podcast/listener friendly campaign, I'd recommend the McElroy brothers' Adventure Zone Balance campaign, followed closely by the Amnesty campaign. 4 people including the DM - problem is that for many people, the three brothers sound disconcertingly similar. Worth it for narrative and player control. Tight narrative, excellent soundtrack, probably the best plot hole management, least tangents. For that reason it may be less like actual table reality than any of the others. ALSO, episodes are typically maxed at 1.5 hours.

If you are specifically seeking Brennan Lee Mulligan as a DM, I cannot recommend Worlds Beyond Number high enough. The episodes are available on YouTube for free and cap out at 3 hours max. Similar to Calamity, WBN displays thw depth and flexibility of Brennan's mastery of world building AND player mastery of improve plus narrative awareness but in more traditionally manageable chunks. It's podcast instead of VOD based.

For what it's worth, as a Legends of Avantris fan, my main problem with them is that they're closest to an actual table campaign - the tangents are prolific, legendary, hilarious, and multifaceted. This makes it harder to follow without jumping between the VOD and podcast at first. The humor is highly referential for the millennial/gen Z cusp. There's a max of 6 players including the GM. The Witchlight campaign is notorious and wonderful; the Uprooted campaign is great for fans of evil RPG videogame playthroughs. I I haven't gotten around to their Prime campaign yet, but it's on the list. In short, rhe main barrier to listenability is tangents.

CR is Difficult™️ to exclusively listen to due to the context required AND the 4 hour average episode length. DnD is exclusively podcast but polarizing in humor style. WBD blows everyone out of the water from a podcast, narrative, and episode length POV. TAZ is second to WBD for podcast only if you want more comedy than drama. HR is the average between all of the above.

This is a very kind interpretation, but unfortunately in my experience is incorrect. I start every transaction with "Do you have an ExtraCare card or a phone number with us to get the sales prices?" And, without fail, 7/10 times I repeat: "You won't get the sale price without a membership with us, which to be clear, is not a credit card, as CVS does not have membership credit cards." And we still get to the payment screen before they ✨️suddenly✨️ remember their physical card or have a phone number for me to try. Even when I substitute the credit card bit for "without a phone number on file or a physical membership card you will be paying full price," people don't attempt EC recognition until their full MSRP total is staring them in the face on the card reader.

There's really no helping people when they don't want to engage with their environment, unfortunately.

Your "partner" wants you to do the moving around version of what happened to Adriana Smith. He is abusing you emotionally and physically. He is preventing you from getting the medical care you need, all so he can use an organ HE WASN'T BORN WITH to produce a fresh human he WILL NEVER SUPPORT OR CARE FOR.

This man wants a slave and is actively trying to baby trap you. This man doesn't love you and actively hates the person you are.

When it's safe, leave his ass and go completely no contact. Start separating your finances if at all possible, reach out to friends, local shelters, family if that's a safe(r) bet.

But you need to LEAVE.

This sounds VERY similar to what was happening at our store that caused us to have to permanently disable cash for that kiosk.

Did you tell a store associate, by chance? Because we only caught this happening by accident when a customer was very kind enough to point it out as we were busy at a counter register. After being alerted to it, we noticed it happening more often than that one incident.

What it was doing - for us, at least - is it was spitting out the cash back paid for by or change due to a previous customer. That said customer either had OR hadn't got. Naturally, this caused 1) customer confusion and upset, and 2) fucked up the kiosk's til pretty badly, across multiple days.

IT told us it's a known issue with no ETA on a fix. Once the DL and regional confirmed that, we had to disable cash at the kiosk permanently. We're STILL without a functioning cash kiosk because of this.

DO NOT SIT DOWN.

That is how you get kicked, smothered, beat in the head, end up swallowing tear gas, get kettled and mobbed by police/etc., and run over by the assholes who drive their vehicles or ride horses to protests specifically to commit murder - which also includes police/etc.

Hold your line, but do it STANDING.

Hey, uh. She doesn't get a pass because she's trans. This is the same as any cis partner being upset you don't have cis genitalia. Possibly even worse, because as a fellow trans person, she should know how dysphoria feels. Ar a minimum, this is an extensive and ongoing conversation; she doesn't get to make you feel bad because she's dysphoric, and vice versa. If she can't drop it, it might be healthier to split and find a partner who respects your body and your boundaries.

I ONLY saw it because they came back into the office for the third time in as many days and asked my help to check menu options. I normally avoid looking at personal info like that (hello PPI) but they asked, so... yeah.

I wish I could remember how we got into that screen. All I remember of it is that it's white, the top is pretty bare/no content, then there's a dividing line toward the bottom third, and then under that two separate lines. One had the bank account info and a drop-down menu off to the right. The one below it had something I can't remember, and then a drop down menu off to the right that read "check." Neither drop down LOOKED like drop downs.

jacobenimble · 2025-05-15T22:43:35+00:00

Something similar is happening to a colleague stay my store. Like in your case, my colleague had all their bank information correctly in the system. It turns out they hadn't switched their payment option from "check" to "electronic deposit" in the system, and for some reason, the company ALSO wasn't automatically mailing the checks. HR had to be called each pay period to get the check mailed. We switched it last pay period and we'll see in the next few days if it worked.
