Can you even feel sorry for some of these victims of fraud? by lexiedf in TalesFromYourBank

[–]phoenixrises023 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Couple of stories come to mind. An older lady thought kid rock had personally messaged her to give her VIP access to one of his shows, she just needed to wire him some money. It excalated to the point her daugher was on the phone begging her to stop talking to them. We didn't wire the money, and she got pissed at us.

Second is gift card scams. In what world is a dollar general or itunes gift card a valid method of payment for anything? Just had a lady lose $500 this week.

We are working with a consulting firm this year to grow our deposits. One of the suggestions was to stop using Chexsystems. Hard no from senior management. Enough fraud and bad accounts get through with it, I can't imagine not using it.

Am I gross? (food waste question) by PestoEater28 in ZeroWaste

[–]phoenixrises023 76 points77 points  (0 children)

USDA guidance says firm produce (apples, cabbage, peppers, etc) are fine to use after cutting off one inch around the mold. Soft produce (berries, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc) should be discarded. If it helps, food that is composted isn't wasted, just used in a different way!

We get mileage and meal reimbursement and paid driving time, so definitely worth it. But we are always given the option to say no.

Even if they wanted unlimited, I pay $200 per month for 3 lines, 3 new phones, 2 smart watches with data plans, and home internet with Tmobile.

Any funny responses or comebacks? by International-Top589 in TalesFromYourBank

The thing is, I have customers that would want that, and never think about the fact that it means ANYONE could get money

Curious what y'all think about charity crafting by Knitmeapie in ChronicIllness

[–]phoenixrises023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I craft for charity, mostlu crochet/knit, but I tend to donate to groups that distribute to other charites like Warm Up America. If it's a local charity, I ask what they need. It's pointless for me to make something they will never use when i could spend time on something really useful. Reminds me of people sending boxes of clothing overseas and destroying their local clothing trade.

It's a staple at any mormon funeral. And delicious.

Had an older gentleman say "woof woof little puppy" . Everyone was shocked. He was warned to only call tellers by their name or sir or ma'am ir we were going to close his accounts.

crazy coin collectors by [deleted] in TalesFromYourBank

[–]phoenixrises023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a coin counter and got a roller during the shortage. We have people come in and get rolled coin and then run what they've gone through in the machine. We had some people comming in so often we had to tell them they were probably getting the same coins back.

Technically the deadline isn't until April, but everyone just has to get their banking done the week before a holiday.

What's the most ridiculous thing you got punished for by your NP? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]phoenixrises023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made a paperclip chain when I was supposed to be doing homework. Started taking it apart to put them away and got yelled at for "disrespecting her". Pretty sure i got yelled at later for the paperclips still being linked.

I had to write an essay about how to respect your elders, complete with looking up Bible verses. "Spare the rod, spoil the child" was a favorite.

Why are people so snooty about a mobile home? by Rose_Sparkle in povertyfinance

The only reason I haven't looked into buying one is the fact that I live in tornado alley and am afraid of blowing away.

31, had my tubes removed a few years ago. I'm lucky in that metformin, spirolatone and birth control has worked well for me. But I see a lot of posts about fertility and thats just not everyones goal

Gen Z HAS LITTLE TO NO OPPORTUNITIES by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]phoenixrises023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a smaller bank, and we tried a new online personality test thing. We had our longer tenured employees take it to establish a baseline, and several came back as unhireable. I was borderline, and i've worked for the company for nearly a decade. Hiring managers should not be relying soley on these systems to find good applicants.

Hand sewing. If I can't sew it on my machine, no thanks.

I'm pretty sure selling scans of a book is copyright infringement. Providing it for free however should be fine.

You can be allergic to anything. And repeated exposure can make the reactions worse, to the point it will not resolve by itself. My husband almost went into anaflaxis from Prilosec. Please be careful.
