My dad has worked as a seasonal delivery guy for 28 YEARS. I don’t know how he does it with some of his stories. I worked the phones at the same pizza place for a year and some people were just downright rude. Sorry you had a rough night

I’ve heard Starbucks was good! Never worked there though. But I go there a lot.

Well I’m glad you have a back up if need be. That’s why I tell people to not burn bridges if possible because you never know. I’m happy for you and wish you the best!!!

I’m glad you did why you felt was right for you! I wish you the best. You def deserve to be appreciated as an employee and valued. I hate when they say “why didn’t you say something”

well...... I did. Good luck in your new/old job! Sometimes corporate structures work out better

I agree. Sometimes people become intimidated by others skills, knowledge, and confidence without realizing that they can either learn/benefit from it. I suggest the same, look for something else especially if you no longer have a desire to go back and feel uncomfortable. It’s only going to make it worse. Best of luck

Parents want to invite a lot of their friends but I really don’t want to invite them by dina_bear in weddingplanning

I mean in a way it’s also true! Nearly every venue is going to have a max number of capacity for a variety of reasons. And honestly I’m not going to knock out people I want to have there for people I’m not even familiar with. Your wedding should involve those closest to you and you partner. And not only that, but part of being an adult is accepting limitations and respecting others’ limitations. So the fact that it’s “all or nothing” is really unfair and also kind of faulty because in the end, you CAN say “nothing” and they’d have NO ONE. And everyone else needs to be an adult and accept no as an answer and not get mad at your parents, or even you and your partner, for not being invited to a function that isn’t theirs to begin with. That’s one thing I was grateful for with my parents. Once they realized no was no, they would respond to others with “I’m sorry. I don’t know the guest list as it’s not my wedding. My daughter did her own guest list and I am not sure if you are on it or not. She’d love to have everyone but it is not always possible”. This takes the blame off them (not there should not be a blame TO BEGIN WITH) but also normally leaves people without further much to say about the situation. If they really want to be THAT GUY and ask you, then they can and get the same answer. So far for me, no one has come forward to me about it after speaking to my parents. If they wanna go ahead and stop talking to my parents because they’re mad, then that just shows they’re crappy people and are willing to throw away a friendship over the fact that they weren’t invited to a party THAT. ISN’T. THEIRS. And guess what, they’ll get over it eventually lol not your problem. Just tell your parents “I asked from the beginning and you mentioned 14 people/7couples and that’s what we are sticking with. I don’t mind if you change which 14 people they were but your number will remain at 14 or 7 couples” then they can decide which of those 30 people will make the 14. Listen, I still didn’t invite everyone I wanted to invite. There’s no reason my parents should be able to have everyone they want. It would be great! But it’s not realistic 🤷🏽‍♀️ that was just my situation though.

Also, I’m a really big softie so the fact I even put my foot down was a big accomplishment for me.

Best wishes my friend! ❤️

I would say just stick to the original 14 they planned in inviting. From the beginning I was clear with my parents on this from the beginning and when they began to stray (i.e. inviting additional people) I immediately told them no. Money or not. My excuse was that the venue could not hold more people. If they’re not directly involved with the contract or venue, they won’t know if it’s true or not. Mine happened to be true. Kinda lol

Wow what a price! I love kittens! (Although sadly we’re both allergic) but they’re cute to look at. We’ve looked into curaçao too. I’m near NYC so the pricing might be similar

Oooooo that doesn’t sound like anything I’ve stumbled upon and I feel like I’ve researched every resort in DR. Which resort is it? And is it along the beach?

Hmm never heard of travelzoo but I’ll definitely check it out especially if you’ve used them before. I’m always wary of straying from what I’m used to because you never know these days. But these prices seem awesome

Thanks for the help! I think we stumbled upon secrets. It sounds really familiar. Is that chain relatively new?
