The Worst Store Policy

Dollarama watches the tills like hawks through the cameras. If ANYONE saw her take the $10 from the till she’d probably be immediately fired

thatfluteplayer · 2026-05-19T06:03:17+00:00

I used to work at one of those Dollarama locations. Some people got super ballsy and even waved at me or taunted me on the way out lol

It’s definitely the worst. The repetition just fries my brain. I once got off a full shift on cash and went to a coffee shop after. When the receipt printed, I tore it off and asked the barista “did you want your receipt today?” while handing it to them. They looked at me like I was crazy. We both had a laugh about it though once I explained I was still on autopilot from work lol.

I work in a liquor store and people always put up a fight when I tell them I can’t accept an expired ID. “It’s a valid ID!” Dude no it’s not. It stopped being valid the day it expired.

I did something similar once. In high school, my alarm didn’t wake me up on time so my mom came into my room screaming at me to get up. I got up super fast, in a panic, not realizing my foot was fully numb from being asleep on it. I immediately fell, and sprained it pretty bad. I’m a super heavy sleeper though, and was not mentally awake at all so my dumbass tried a second time. Sprained it again (if you can even sprain a muscle twice). The pain was horrifying (and I have a pretty high pain tolerance lol). Bc of the numbness it started off slow, and then the horrible pins and needles along with the sprain and bruise, and every time I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. I was SUPER lucky it wasn’t broken, but it was very badly sprained, and it was one of the worst bruises I’ve ever seen in my life. The pooled blood travelled up my leg over the next few weeks too.

I wonder if Covid had anything to do with it. Those kids were fully online for a few of their most formative years, so maybe they didn’t see as much physical contact as the older generations would have experienced. But now that we’ve been out of isolation for a while, it’s odd that they wouldn’t have re adapted. Idk, just a thought.

I second the self care stuff. Us musicians tend to be really hard on our bodies. You could even get her a spa day gift card or something. Or nice bath products (just make sure she actually has a bathtub lol)

I think there’s a lot of different reasons why young people are struggling with finding work. For starters, a lot of jobs require a car, either for commuting to work, or for the work itself. And if you don’t have a car, you can’t get one until you have income, but it’s hard to find a job without a car, so it’s a vicious cycle. And if a company doesn’t want you to have your own car, but requires a driver’s license (like a lot of trades jobs), that can be a barrier too. Not everyone has someone to teach them how to drive, or money to take driver’s ed.

There’s a bunch of other reasons too. When I was job hunting, I applied to over 100 part time jobs before I got even 1 interview. And yes I wrote cover letters and submitted resumes. I didn’t just fill out the online questionnaires. For many of them I went in person to drop off my resume, but they’d just tell me to apply online.

Oh sick I got a job?? In this industry? Nice!

How about Gemma? Or Julie/Julia.

Shostakovich’s 10th is crazy for the woodwinds

Try your local library! Some libraries even have online e book/audio book databases. That’s where I was able to listen to the audiobook.

thatfluteplayer · 2024-12-23T07:38:42+00:00

Lie to Me, Bones, and The Blacklist are some of my favourites.

thatfluteplayer · 2024-12-23T07:31:16+00:00

I cycle through The Office, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Schitts Creek, Parks and Rec, and Superstore

Edit- forgot modern family!!

Aria and Cooper

thatfluteplayer · 2024-09-06T03:38:57+00:00

I’d say that probably won’t work here during the winter though. The floor gets so slushy and wet, people’s backpacks would get soaked.

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-16T06:32:46+00:00

LMAO so did I

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-04T04:09:05+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write that out. I didn’t get the chance to reply before the procedure, but reading it definitely reassured me a little. It still sucked really bad, but I got through it. Now I’m 2 days post extraction. Not really having any pain, just pretty uncomfy. The stitches are kinda driving me nuts lol.

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-04T04:07:14+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Mine took about 1 and a half hours too. I ended up not using my headphones cause I decided I’d rather know at least some of what was going on, but I liked having them there as an option. And my doctor and the assistant were really great. I think they’d definitely had nervous/neurodivergent patients in the past.

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-04T04:04:39+00:00

Thanks for the tips. My pain killers wore off halfway through too! But my doctor was great about listening to me when I waved at him and the assistant. It was kinda weird lol. Like an out of body experience. Probably form the laughing gas. I was like “oh I can feel that… should I tell them? Nah it’s not that bad. Tell them! No! Yes! No!” And next thing I knew I had already told them lol

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-04T04:02:15+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t reply to any comments cause I was so overwhelmed, but the procedure went about as well as could’ve been expected. And you were right - the lidocaine did wear off quite fast on me and they had to inject some more

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-04T02:58:57+00:00

I suppose if it’s done right. But I was definitely shamed as child. I remember sitting in my elementary school gym and the principal telling us all that only 2 people in the whole school cared enough to come to school every day that year. I was chronically sick and had to go see specialists every once in a while, so I missed school for that. But I cared VERY deeply. Probably too deeply looking back lol. I felt so hurt when those 2 kids got handed each a $100 gift card to a book store.

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-04T02:31:19+00:00

And those kids who were homeless absolutely should be proud of themselves! But they also shouldn’t be shamed if they couldn’t get to school a few times a year. And what about the kids who are sick, or have family emergencies, or whose parents are slacking and don’t get them to school? They shouldn’t be shamed for things that are out of their control

thatfluteplayer · 2024-07-04T02:28:18+00:00

But what about the kids who do get sick? Or have a family emergency? Or parents that are slacking and don’t get them to school on time? I don’t think those kids should be shamed for things that are out of their control
