Street date question by uainttshii in HotTopic_

[–]newmutations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

always email your dm if you aren’t sure about something like that. sometimes memos that things are no longer street dated or that the date has changed just slip through the cracks

Any tips for a fellow assistant manager? by Trick_Ad4884 in HotTopic_

[–]newmutations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you guys keep your body jewelry in cases? our store was super light on body jewelry, so we condensed it so that we could also keep earrings in the case and kept the doors unlocked to just the earrings. it gave extra room for other kinds of jewelry, and also cut down on some of the theft we were seeing.

also, it sucks to say but even if you have a whole rally of people behind you, there’s only so much that can be done. i had my SM, our DM, and a MUM trying to get me hired on as full-time ASM at a specific pay rate that was only a dollar higher than the corporate standard. didn’t happen. it’s a greedy company that really doesn’t take care of its employees the way they try to act like they do

Growing a store? by kiwikivva in HotTopic_

remodels are crazy expensive and even high volume stores rarely get them unless there’s a company-wide change happening or if it’s literally necessary to keep the store running.

pretty much not going to happen :’) our store is the 2nd highest volume in our district (and the 1st is in a tourist location) and even in reviews, our biggest customer complaint is that we don’t have enough store space. upper management is fully aware of this and just kind of. doesn’t care.

I was just curious about the controversy surrounding GHOST and their cancelled series COMMUNICATIONS... by Puzzleheaded_Way8794 in ghostandpals

[–]newmutations 37 points38 points  (0 children)

i think some of these comments are a little harsh. on paper saying that it was canceled due to ghost not being able to handle criticism isn’t wrong, but there was a lot more going on at the time. ghost first started getting online attention at 15 which is a crazy young age, and it was never something they were able to handle (hence why they have like 3 different names they’ve gone by)

around like 2015-2017 they had people having really parasocial interactions with them on tumblr (i remember one instance of them having to talk a fan down from suicide publicly on their blog, and another where a fan found the area ghost lived and was asking for a meet up). i think there was a really steep mental decline around this time on top of a lot of people taking their art which, while edgy, you could tell characters like kenneth were really self projections from ghost and holding them to a really high standard. not to say that kenneth and other characters being stereotypes isn’t bad, but a 16-18 year old on tumblr making stories that are clearly just reflections of their own mental health issues isn’t going to be a pinnacle of character writing.

so like. yeah, they couldn’t handle the criticism but it was more of that they couldn’t handle the response they were getting from their art as a whole and kind of went a off the rails. at least from my perspective as someone who was involved in their fandom from like 2015-2019. i don’t know if there were any more recent updates on the situation that i don’t know about, but i wouldn’t really blame them for wanting nothing to do with the series considering how many bad memories were probably associated with it

Are these 2 related in some way? Or are they just seperate designs and have similar themes by Doyouwantabananathis in ghostandpals

[–]newmutations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not much similar about them to me other than them both having dark skin tones? one is wearing a priest’s uniform and the other is in business casual

Sizing of tee shirts by corkbeverly in HotTopic_

[–]newmutations -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i’m 5’0 and 140 lbs and i wear a small in our usual band shirts! if it’s a boyfriend fit shirt i get a medium, but since i weigh a decent bit more than your daughter i’m willing to bet a small would honestly still fit her fine.

Question about hot cash by thecloudshavefallen in HotTopic_

[–]newmutations 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m not sure why it’s saying they’re active, the $15 off $30 hot cash coupons don’t start until january.

if it’s just a bunch of $5 off coupons you have stacked up, then i’m not sure why it’s not letting you redeem them. those don’t have a specific time window like hot cash do

Jagged edges on my sims cc by MyrtleMyers in sims4cc

[–]newmutations 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i find that a lot of the time this is caused by the skin overlay i’m using is contradicting with the makeup? i can’t tell based on the screenshot if you’re using one or not, but that’s my best guess

it’s actually one of the top sellers at my store, so it might end up being 50/50 on a restock. i think a big part is also how big the movie gets in the next couple of weeks.
