Really? You're full time?

Nah he just spends 40 hours a week in one of these stores.

I'd like this game elph and reprise have cooking up, but it might be fair to y'all.

[Elphenor]

I'm part time in 2 different stores adding up to full time

I will seriously send someone $10 worth of dollar general game or no game just lemme know

[yo soy el mejor]

well, do they treat you like full-time and offer benefits?

[Elphenor]

Not yet you usually have to be full time for 6 months or so

[yo soy el mejor]

oh, okay. so long as they aren't splitting you between two stores part-time to weasel out of recognizing you as full-time.

No, they'll find some other way to weasel him out of the benefits once his probation period/6 months is up. Hopefully by then he's left them in the dust.

Seriously, 6 months is insane if that's how long they make their employees wait to receive benefits.

I went to a dollar store today. I bought tin foil.

Please post a pic of your hat when you finish

cheap tin foil is crap. in some cases it's not worth it to save a dollar or two and tin foil is one of those cases. the cheap stuff tears like tissue and forget trying to wrap some meat and vegetables nice and tight with it. i hope you were able to get some reynolds at the dollar store. i know there is better stuff out there than reynolds, but it's trustworthy and you can get a box with 250 ft.

Cheap tinfoil never bothered me.

Cheap plastic wrap, on the other hand...

[LaBelle]

I always lose the seam when I try to use plastic wrap, it sucks

It was standard even when I had a union job

Probation period

Do skulking nihilists ever try to steal coricidin from your store elphenor?

[Elphenor]

People steal constantly but I look the other way

They probably need it more than dollar general does

It was Reynolds. Relax.

you know what is also shit is dollar store dish soap. a lot of the cleaning supplies are great, but the soap you have to use like 10x as much for dishes. do not recommend.

[LaBelle]

Wouldn't be the first time a netphorian got another fired.

I hope nobody would actually do something like this. It's not the oboard after all

[LaBelle]

Snitches get stitches

[ohnoitsbonnie]

Elph is too much of a self depreciating pansy to say something but threatening to intrude into someone's personal life based on posts here is insane

This. 100%

[LaBelle]

This reminds me of when people were "swatting" streamers on the internet.
That was probably super scary to those who had it happen to them.

keep it in the freezer. when you do need it, you'll see it doesn't stick to itself so much.

Better living through chemistry

[ohnoitsbonnie]

Sorry to be snarky about wraps and stuff I guess but I use wax paper in place of both pvc wrap and foil. We invested in glass food containers too. I'm sure any kind of health and environmental concerns are blown way out of proportion but wax paper is also more frugal so idk

[ohnoitsbonnie]

If these materials are so harmful to the environment then why do companies sell them? -foreverkailyn

[yo soy el mejor]

i can't believe it took you so long to hear about and get some glass food containers.
