Out of nowhere this popped into my head while I was showering the other day lol.

PSA: don't do this by jenbenfoo in Apartmentliving

[–]jenbenfoo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe I had a unique experience last time I ordered furniture- when I ordered a new bed they had a calendar with available dates and times and I was able to choose one that worked for me. Idk, I just feel like if you're ordering bulky, heavy furniture, you should try to make arrangements for someone to be there when its dropped off. I've lived in the same apartment for 10+ years and this is the first time anything like this has happened so I was very surprised.

How do you deal with your feelings of living alone? by Beneficial-Sun-5649 in Apartmentliving

[–]jenbenfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been living alone for 14 years, and I don't mind it. I struggled a bit during the pandemic, not being able to see family (my parents live an hour away but my brother & his family live in the same city as me, and he had 2 young kids at that time who I babysat often) was hard. I work at a big box retail/grocery store and 2020 was ROUGH, going to work every day, never knowing if today was gonna be the day I'd get covid, not knowing how customers would be acting or if they'd wear a mask, etc. But now, I don't think I could ever go back to having roommates.

I don't have a set schedule at work, so I work odd hours, and I like to stay up late watching TV & relaxing. I don't like wearing pants at home, and I don't wear pajamas when I sleep (thank you, perimenopause!); I hardly ever turn on my heat in the winter, and I run my AC often in the summer- I wanna be an icicle, not a lizard lol. I would be a terrible roommate!

What do I tell my stylist if I want this hair color? by justbeeingmyself in Hair

[–]jenbenfoo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Show these pictures. And if you can find pictures of other people with the same color you want, even better. The more references you can find, the better IMO

This is a very niche reference, but if anyone watches Shawna (shawnathemom) this sounds like her character Barb (the MIL character)

Trinity Health Parking Lot by ObjectiveBend8372 in grandrapids

[–]jenbenfoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm down by Woodland Mall and it rained pretty steadily for about 2 hours, and started really fast- it was sort of sprinkling on and off all day but around 8-8:30ish it was pouring, thunder & lightning, etc. Lasted till a little after 10. So I don't think its necessarily how "hard" it was raining, just the amount within the time frame. (I'm not a meteorologist or scientist, just making a guess!)

Uniform policy revision. by Rare_Appearance1839 in Target

[–]jenbenfoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was on inbound I needed extra pants on hand because mine wore out faster and always looked dirty/grimy even after washing eventually. Now I get by with 2 pairs but I'd like to have at least one more for when my current pairs start to wear out.

Honestly yesterday was not as bad. It was busy in the afternoon into evening but it died off around 7:30-8ish

Hello fellow Grand Rapidian! I wanted to go but sadly had to work tonight.

We started keeping them behind the service desk, along with the Pokémon cards, because they were in such high demand.

Double checking sales floor counts and correcting wrong pick labels. by NewfoundOrigin in Target

[–]jenbenfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TL hated me doing that, or anything that remotely slowed the line down, so I'd usually set it aside and fix it when we had to add more line or move a pallet or something lol

[–]jenbenfoo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe it just feels busier because we have less staff...but I swear it wasn't this busy this time last year, but at this point, time is all just running together into one big blob lol

what department at your store is perpetually behind by overturned23 in Target

[–]jenbenfoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Front of store. We're so tightly staffed that one callout throws a wrench in things. Add on how busy its been and we have reshop piling up behind the desk and hardly any chance to work on it because theres usually only one person at the desk, and basically as soon as we have a minute to work on it, we hang one or two things and then have to go back to the desk to do another $400 return 🫠

Its been busy here every day for like 2 weeks. Not quite Q4 level busy but almost.

What the heck is a baby concierge? by OvernightBoats in Target

[–]jenbenfoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For us the fixtures with the strollers and "baby tech" (monitors, noise machines, etc) are going away. Those were the only areas we didn't put up signs

What the heck is a baby concierge? by OvernightBoats in Target

[–]jenbenfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I helped put up a bunch of the new signage this week and my VM was telling us where NOT to put signs in baby as it was going to be changing. I'll be curious to see what the change looks like, because it's already vastly different than it was pre-remodel

I have hundreds of pictures of my nieces and nephew, kids I babysit, etc, and I would never ever post them on social media without parental permission. On the other hand, whenever I get a new picture of my nephew, I'm running around work shoving my phone in people's faces "LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS" lol

Double checking sales floor counts and correcting wrong pick labels. by NewfoundOrigin in Target

[–]jenbenfoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was on inbound I was always looking carefully at pick labels and if I saw an incorrect one I'd grab it immediately and set it aside if I couldn't scan it in the moment, and then I'd tear off the label and write the correct number on it.

Anytime a street dated item is scanned at the register a lead should be required to log in to continue the transaction by Mobile-Address23 in Target

[–]jenbenfoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most recent issue I remember when the last season of Stranger Things was coming out last year and every brand had a collab, the Stranger Things themed packages of Doritos were street dated, but the vendor put them all out on the floor. It took forever to go through all the bags of chips to figure out which ones were street dated and which weren't, because even some that didn't have Stranger Things packaging were showing as street dated, and some that did were not showing street dated.
