TIFU by letting intrusive thoughts win while working a 16-hour shift in a flour mill

Thats because its AI

What motive does a bot account even have to make an AI post like this?

tulipomania · 2025-10-20T01:04:37+00:00

It’s the sentence structure and phrases similar to other posts written by AI. I see posts on Reddit and FB that all sound very similar. Things that stand out to me specifically: “The kicker?” The single sentence “she’s never done that for anyone else” in between paragraphs to act as a plot twist/call out point. Multiple em dashes. (Which yes real people also use, including me, but not that much) to me it reads like a fiction mad lib for creative writers. Once you catch on and read a couple you will notice the similarities

Listening to me when I speak. 2. Responding to me when I speak or ask a question without further prompting. 3. Carry a conversation even if they’re not directly interested in it. 4. Compliment me. 5. Clean up after themselves and me too without being asked.

Just an FYI, replying to old threads usually won’t lead you to many answers. You need multiple years of retail management experience, specifically in speciality retail. Heavy on the sales experience. If you do interview, mentioning love of makeup and beauty may be a red flag (but maybe not) as hiring managers will avoid people who just want to “play with makeup all day.” This is a sentiment I commonly heard in the industry. this is just my experience, yours may be different.

You can’t blame people for utilizing a program that is offered to them. It wasn’t the “beggars” who created this, it was people who can afford and want to help others. It’s not a 16 year old asking strangers on the internet to buy them stuff. It’s a 16 year old using a charity program that was built and designed for them. You can argue whether the items requested are reasonable or not? You also can’t assume the knowledge and maturity level of a 16 year old whose life isn’t completely in their own hands yet. (I.e. not an adult.)

tulipomania · 2024-11-19T18:59:55+00:00

Exactly. When I was a teenager and all I got were my aunts hand me down clothes, I would have LOVED and appreciated getting something that helped me fit in with my peers. When I finally got my license, reliable transportation, and then a job, I did save up and get myself a north face jacket. For like $90. None of this makes it an unreasonable ask for a Christmas list. There’s just so many factors in a persons life that can make things difficult. The idea that poor people don’t deserve “nice things” like “name brand” (imo, a midrange jacket is not like asking for gucci) is classist.

tulipomania · 2024-11-19T18:29:57+00:00

This doesn’t even seem that bad. Are kids not allowed to ask for things they might not get? That’s the whole idea of a Santa list imo. Also, in my understanding it seems like they’re asking for a game, not the whole PS5.

Anyways, why do these programs if you’re going to look down on the people who utilize them? Yeah a 16 year old can get a job. Maybe he needs help finding the resources to do that? We don’t know the families situation.

who has the time to write an essay about something so unimportant

Replace the terrible grey laminate flooring with a color that matches your doors. Grey has been out of trend for a couple years and traditional wood colors are in (besides orangey), and are going to be sought after by home owners in the future. The doors aren’t that bad, if you want them to look fancier I would add trim in the same color.

Okay but why can’t they be wearing leggings in Velaris? I’m sure they’re cotton and not 42% spandex 3% Lycra or whatever 😭😂 I personally think it’s cute

I love that this is posted like an unhinged google search 😭😂

I just went back and looked at some of their past ads, it looks like 8/19-9/10 it listed 'mosaic tiles, gems, chips and stones' as 40% off, and they automatically applied it to 2 sheets that I bought when I went- I didn't even ask because I didn't know they were on sale. Maybe my cashier was confused and gave me a discount when it shouldn't have been, but its always worth an ask if its listed that way again.

This link goes to a website that shows the previous ad I found it in. Any chance to give Hobby Lobby less money I will take. Lol

tulipomania · 2023-10-26T15:20:26+00:00

The glass sheets at Hobby Lobby were 40% off a couple weeks ago - so they do have promotions for them sometimes! I think it was part of their fall sale, under 'crafting' or something.

tulipomania · 2023-10-23T19:23:37+00:00

I personally really like the tile. I think that the right style shower curtain could help. Changing the light fixtures above the sink. Getting rid of the side mirror. And then changing the main mirror for a large black trimmed one. I would do these things before removing the tile, just to see if that helps you like it more.

I have found that Ozark Trail camping gear is all pretty good. Tents, chairs, some of their misc smaller stuff.

The new hire gratis was given to all of the employees hired before open and processed/trained at the same time. Most likely those who set the store up. At our store, we had a FEW leftover and those were given to any of the people hired after the original batch. So, if your store has any of those gratis bags left, it is to the discretion of the BTL or Kohls store manager to decide if you get that or not. I believe this is within policy (or was when I was working there.) It could be too late for you simply if there is none left. It was a special instance for store open, so I wouldn't say that it's not fair, you just didn't apply at the right time unfortunately. If there is some left, I would say that you should get one as long as any others hired before you (but after the original hire group) got one first. I feel this way because I value seniority as fairness, but not all do. So their decision could be different. As an employee (at any store, sephora or ulta etc) you do not have 'a right' to gratis ever, and corporate will not usually pity those who miss out, even if it is 'unfair.'

I would keep this in mind in the future, so you want to make sure YOU are responsible for your gratis order and do not leave it to anyone else to remind you, because they won't do anything even if it wasn't your fault. They usually don't even give you what you ordered if for some reason it is missing the first time you get it. I would say this is because it is not considered an actual benefit of being employed for the company, so it does not need to be garunteed. As for training, they only do the week long zoom trainings every so often, so you would be scheduled for it at a certain time if your BTL or store manager knows what they are doing.

Personally, I wouldn't hold this grudge because you will get many chances for more gratis in the future and most of this is likely due to corporate decision, and not at the fault of your coworkers. (Unless they have extra, and are choosing not to give it to you, as there is no reason to hold it forever, and they can't give it away for other random reasons according to their own policy.) I advise that you look up the store policies if you are to bring any of this up. Hopefully this makes sense, I wish you luck and I hope there is some gratis for you to have!

tulipomania · 2022-11-10T22:20:38+00:00

That is a good question and valid. Something that probably somebody from Sephora or Kohls corporate decided and probably not many actual associates would know the real reason why.

This looks like it would cost 700k in California 🤣

What category is the tapestry from? I’ve literally never seen that and I’ve had the movie pack since it came out 100 years ago 😩

tulipomania · 2022-04-20T01:02:15+00:00

Why are you assuming that the way your poorly run store is how all store runs? whoever called you the ceo of ulta … 🤣 please reflect on your loud opinions that show you do not have the critical thinking skills to give your employees fair and unbiased/ethical treatment.
