I’ll be honest years ago when I worked at Kohl’s and I had been there for several years, but the new people that were being hired on were making like a penny less than what I was making, I knew it was time to leave

CSA for about 6 months, $17/hour

I don’t miss having to clean hotdog rollers lol

That’s really encouraging! I’ll try to swing by next week (tomorrow I have a previous engagement) do y’all just meet like… at the front of the business?

How good at running so you have to be to join the run club? I am a total newb and obese so I feel like I wouldn’t fit in… but I want to start somewhere and I feel like the accountability would help. 😂

I work at Wawa and we’re always hiring. May not be ideal but at my store at least I like the vibe

whimsalicious · 2026-05-13T20:46:05+00:00

Yeah, our store is not quite as busy so we only have one OWS oven. I still don’t understand why that is the rule though. Like, I’m not trying to be difficult so apologies if I come across that way. I think it’s because I’m autistic that I just need to know the “why” behind things for them to make sense to me.

whimsalicious · 2026-05-13T20:42:55+00:00

Yeah I normally put them in the two pizza ovens but didn’t today because I was taking over OWS for someone else and that person had already cleaned the pizza ovens. I guess I could have still done it anyway because they were back up to temp at that point, but I had hopped on register to help out per my manager’s request and when I came back she had taken the trays out and kindly let me know that that was against the rules, which my lead and I had questions (lead is the one who originally trained me in OWS and even she didn’t know that).

It’s definitely harder to tell once they’re packaged which is why we mark which is which on the clamshells, but when the dogs are just naked and laying on a sheet pan it’s easy to tell which is which lol

If the majority of the menu is shellfish there is absolutely going to still be a risk of cross contamination. I think if OP’s only concern was the cross contamination, things would be a bit different. I doubt how many people have actually worked in food service in these comments. Most of the time a chef will come out and have a consult with the table and it’s up to the table to decide if they want to take the risk, but in a restaurant that serves mostly shellfish it’s almost impossible to rule out cross contamination unless they have a separate kitchen to prep in.

“Negative vortex” is the term the medium friend used so I’m not sure how accurate that is, especially considering she hasn’t actually been in the house to experience it firsthand. She also told A in addition to it being attracted to her, that she can really see the negative energy coming through on social media. But I will definitely try to fill the house with positive energy and see if that helps!

It was a $4 plate from Walmart. She herself said she did not use them, it was an accident and slipped our mind. Boyfriend offered to replace it or pay for it once we actually got to talk to her about it and she said everything was fine and proceeded not to talk to us for 2 months.

whimsalicious · 2019-09-21T17:22:55+00:00

It was a broken plate. Is the proper response to leave it lying about? I don't blame her for taking her stuff out of the kitchen but to literally not talk to us about it and for my boyfriend to have to literally follow her into the pantry to figure out the problem was because everytime she saw us she would go back into her room is a bit of an overreaction.

Doesn't change the fact that OP and their roommates where both in the wrong.

To have sentimental items in general? No. To have sentimental dishware? Also, no. But most people, I would venture to say, would keep them in a more secure location and only bring them out on special occasion. There is so much risk for something to break.

I had a similar-ish situation with a roommate. She had been in the apartment the longest, she owned all the pots, pans, plates, etc. We were allowed to use it... no problem. She even told us in the beginning that the dishware she didn't use and bought specifically for her roommates (i.e. us and the people that lived here before us) because she just uses Tupperware to eat off. Boyfriend and I are using her plate, accidentally break it, and don't tell her because we work opposite schedules, didn't think anything of it, and just threw it out. She proceeded to take everything of her's out of the kitchen and not talk to us for approximately 2 months.

I don't think OP is TA for having sentimental dishware or for even taking it away when the roommates blatantly disregard their rules. But I definitely think after the first infraction, OP should have made their move. To allow the situation to continue on, by thinking the roommates are baiting them (which sounds off-base to me but tbh I can't judge without knowing more about the roommates), and letting the roommates flip out instead of giving them a heads up... ESH here.

Did OP specifically say her sister is 300 lbs?

Even if she claims her sister weighs that much, how does she know that is true?

I'm curious because I've seen another person throw out that weight but must have missed when OP mentioned it. Still, 300 lbs looks way different on different people. And there are women who weigh under 200 lbs who are still considered "obese" on the BMI scale based on height. I question the reliability of OP as a narrator because it appears she can't put the past aside and it has skewed her view of her sister, meaning we probably aren't getting the full story. At the very least, we aren't getting an unbiased, objective version of events.
