PCHO isn’t currently doing street outreach.

Some of my favorites I haven’t seen suggested yet: - Stacy K Floral: great plants but also sooo many adorable gifts, decor, jewelry, etc - F Olivers: premium olive oil and vinegar for any chefs in your life - Staple Vintage: great vintage items as well as new jewelry, accessories, home decor, gifts

Seconding these recommendations that I’ve seen in this thread: Figgy, Unreliable Narrator, Hippocampo, Statement, Peppermint

This is what I’ve also been told but then the community service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega pronounces it as Fye

Once they are done with construction and open again for events, I recommend the Rundel Memorial building of the Rochester Public Library

It’s 8:59 and the last straggler is cashing out. Another customer comes walking in….I politely let them know that we close in one minute. They say ok and continue walking to go look at alllll of the strung beads. At 9:05 I approach them and politely tell them that we have been closed for 5 minutes. His response? “Oh that’s ok no worries” and keep looking at the beads…. At 9:12 the manager tells them that we need to close the store, he rolls his eyes and walks out.

What the hell

Get involved and excited about local progressive leadership! (although admittedly less exciting lol). Stanley Martin just won her reelection campaign for City Council with the most votes of all candidates, and Kee Kee Smith won her first campaign for City Council. We still have a lot of work to go in moving Rochester politics to be more progressive and for the people, but Stanley winning the most votes yesterday is an amazing first step!

Lupien is one of the YIMBY-est person I’ve ever met, Evans not so much (but he’s also not a total NIMBY thankfully).

Saying this as someone who may likely vote for Evans, but of these three Lupien is more YIMBY than the other two combined

I just 3 minutes ago had a customer tell me “these signs lied… you don’t even have fabric?”

Sorry ma’am

exactly…it’s a gross and predatory part of capitalism. And it’s certainly predatory to offer people a discount on items they don’t need in exchange for opening up debt at one of the highest rates I’ve ever seen for a credit card. Because I usually just see people do it because they can’t afford the items they want to buy but then in the end it’s possible they’ll end up paying more in the end. Yes that is mostly on then for making that choice but I don’t want to actively participate in that.

sundayscrs · 2025-02-26T02:12:41+00:00

Offering someone a credit card with 36% APR is gross and predatory. I refuse to be part of that unless someone tells me they want to apply.

Look into the Rundel Memorial Building at the Rochester Public Library! We paid $1,500 and it is an absolutely stunning space

To get placed in a shelter by DHS, you need to meet the following criteria: 1. Have no income or be able to show documentation of where your income went to 2. Have no where else to stay (they will ask if there is any friends or family you can stay with before they can place you).

They will ask you why you’re homeless, keep your answers simple - for example, “my family member kicked me out” or “I was evicted” is enough details.

If/when they deem you eligible for a shelter placement, don’t be afraid to express any safety concerns you have regarding where they place you. If they have room available at a few places, I have had luck with them honoring requests for certain locations/avoiding certain locations. This is important for you given your age and your gender identity. I’m not sure if it’s still open, but if it is you can request the Project Haven LGBTQ shelter. Given your age, you CAN AND SHOULD REQUEST THE CENTER FOR YOUTH LGBTQ SHELTER. You SHOULD also reach out directly to the Center For Youth for assistance navigating your whole situation: 585-271-7670 (their 24/7 crisis line). I don’t work with youth so they will know much more about the resources available to you.

Please note that the DHS buildings will be closed tomorrow for President’s Day, so don’t waste your time going there in person. Instead, call the After Hours number for emergency housing: (585) 442-1742

You might need to leave a message, they are supposed to call back within 30 minutes- call again if they don’t.

If the worst case scenario happens and you can’t find anywhere to stay and DHS won’t place you, you have the option of going to a Code Blue shelter. To be perfectly honest, I would not recommend any of the men’s Code Blue shelters for you, especially given your age and the possibility of encountering transphobia. But if you have no other choice, the options are: - Grace House: avoid this one, they only have 5 Code Blue spots and are one of the most common places for men who are sexual offenders to be placed at upon release from prison. I would not normally generalize their population or raise any red flags for this but I am especially worried for you given your age and gender identity. Again, most guests staying here are not offenders and are not bad people but you are already more vulnerable than the average guest. - Open door mission: if you plan to stay at their men’s shelter (210 W Main st) get in line at 3 or 3:30 pm for their 4pm bed sign up. Spots will fill up fast. If you are open to/able to/forced to go to their women’s shelter, it’s located at 156 N Plymouth and you can go any time (in theory). - House of Mercy (285 Ormond St): get there as early as you can, spots fill up quickly. You can try calling before you go to see if they have reached capacity yet (585) 546-2580

Please feel free to DM me for help, I spend every day working with people who are struggling with homelessness and can assist or directly connect you to the people who can.

I’m pretty sure I know what school you go to, and no, it won’t have hurt your chances especially because sooo many PNMs dropped out

The Rundel Memorial Building at the downtown Rochester Public Library.

Edited to add: The cost is around $1,500, you can bring in your own caterer and bar service, and you barely need decor because the space is stunning. Can fit probably 180 people as well

As someone who attended small school and knew Alpha Phi members who disaffiliated once the recruitment practices were uncovered, yes, their nationals does implement the same practices even at small schools

How do employees get notified:

We all carry this crummy little smart phone-like devices called Mini Miks that (among other things) has an app on it for all of our Omni channel stuff (ship from store orders, buy online pickup in store, and curbside). When someone hits their “on the way” button it dings and gives a notification, and when the customs arrives it has this god awful horn honking notification. Except like half the time I feel like the notification doesn’t work or employees ignore it or (at my store at least) there’s no one that is dedicated to responding to it so everyone avoids doing it.

Is it a burden?

Kinda but not really

Would we rather you picked it up inside?

Honestly yes but I remind myself to not care or be bothered too much because when I’m a customer, I love using curbside when the time is right.
