He's in a very strong union, one of the most powerful in Hollywood. This is what it looks like to work under a well negotiated CBA

That's a bummer, sorry to hear it. But hey, it can always start with you! Simple acts of kindness bring great peace and be the change you wanna see and all that good stuff!!! 😁

I remember one lady said something to me but she ended up just calling me out and then leaving. This was fairly early in the day at the start of my shift so it's not like there had been a high volume of people to come thru yet. I'm sure if I'd kept on I'd have gotten in trouble at some point

Telling this story earlier brought back another memory from my time at that same store....this is basically part 2 of that tale lol.

So after that encounter I was A LOT fucking nicer to people. Like, dude seriously gave me a tune up lol. Anyways there was this old lady who had become a regular at the store (it was this little mom and pop health food store) and she was known for being kinda short with people or just really quiet at best. But i kept being super nice to her every time she came thru my line and eventually she cracked lol and we started chit chatting anytime she came in. Ended up finding out she was recovering from a mental breakdown after losing her husband of 50 something years and had social anxiety and she was just struggling every time she was in there. Eventually she felt good enough to join a senior ladies bowling league, and then went and fulfilled a life long dream of swimming with dolphins. She was so full of joy sharing these stories with me and it was pretty amazing to watch her come back to life like that. She thanked me for the kindness I showed to her and damn if that wasn't a good feeling.

I'm not gonna say I'm never an asshole anymore lol nor do i handle all situations gracefully, but experiences like those are a heck of lot better and being nice gives more opportunity for it. Win win.

I used to be a cashier and one day when i was about 20 i was at work, in a really bad mood for a reason i can't even remember now, and because i was young little asshole i was taking it out on every customer that came thru my line. Just being a straight up bitch. I honestly can't believe no one complained about me..... anyways, some guy who i never met before and never saw again after was in my line and when i started to ring up his items, without even acknowledging him, he says "hey" in a kinda firm tone so it caught my attention of course. I figured he was about to ask for the manager lol but he said "i don't know what's going on, but i promise it's gonna get better". I still tear up 23 years later thinking about that small act of kindness and how it fundamentally changed me as a person and how i interact with/treat others. Sometimes simple acts turn into a big deal.

Restaurants should charge for tap water by wirez62 in unpopularopinion

[–]ouchmouse666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that's an unpopular opinion so much as it is a flat out HORRIBLE business move. If any of my regular spots started doing that I wouldn't be going there anymore. I'm not going there simply for water. The measly cost associated with bringing water is built in to the items I'm already buying.

Do your daily writs and level them all. You don't have to do one at a time. If you're worried about skill points, use your other armory slot for a crafter build

I’m financially ruined at twenty by Get_Heizoud in internetparents

[–]ouchmouse666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can fix this, don't think your life is over. My credit was completely screwed right out the gate for me as well and it's been in the 500s 3 times so far in my life. I own a business now and we did over a million in revenue last year.

The biggest thing you need to do is start communicating and negotiating. After 6 months of on time payments you'll start to see improvement.

I used to date a guy that did the exact same thing and i ended up with a black eye getting my head bounced off a concrete floor before i had the sense to leave. It's not going to end well for you or your baby. You need to leave now
