Slowly getting back into reading now that I’m not travelling and have finished-ish moving in, so here I am now, hiding in the backstore to read a fanfic about the same two characters I always read about, giggling like a 14yo

I'm very unhappy with Szabo's Arcade's customer service. I put in an order for a new marquee and monitor bezel for my Killer Instinct machine on October the 1st.. He said it'd take four weeks..

This hasn't happened.. it's been two months and a week at this point..

It's been two months and there's still no word on my order shipping. I asked him a few days ago and he said it was on his desk to be boxed up and sent in the next day so so..

I'm feeling very anxious and sad about this..

I hope he finally sends it and it's worth the wait and expense.. I paid $160

I imagine other people who ordered after me have already received their orders from him..

He's also very incommunicative

I only ever get any information from him if I message him every long while and while he is not rude I'm starting to be skeptical of his claims.. ugh

So a while ago the main pharmacist at my branch of CVS umm was really awful to me and humiliated me while they were explaining how to use my the new insulin and diabetes meds, I cried and was hurt and angered by this. I complained to corporate but they are still there I usually ignore them when they are there. Today they interacted with me and I told the pharmacy tech I don’t like talking to someone who made me cry. They started giggling and told me ‘I choose to cry’ which is the cunt-iest thing I’ve heard that didn’t come out of A fictional villain’s mouth.

14 MAY 2023 SUNDAY

Nag punta kami ng mga kiddos sa Waltermart Sucat Parañaque para gamitin na yung Gift Check ko.

We haven't had out breakfast 🥣 Kaya ayun nag decide kami na mag Jollibee na lang for breakfast today.

Grabeh ang pila dito ng Jollibee blockbuster kase nga bungad din sila ng entrance left side kaagad.

So ayun na nga sobrang tagal ng pila bago ko ma reach yung counter nag order na ako pero hindi ko kinaya yung crew na ipatong sa Chicken yung mga rice 🍚 na naka balot pa. And take note huh ilang minuto yung na naka tiwangwang sa rice rack stand nila ng ilang mga minuto.

Kita naman di ba, dahil ba sa dami ng naka pila kaya parang walang kaayusan na din pati pag serve ng pag kain nila dito🙄

May proper training naman talaga ang Food Handling, pero mukhang Absent or di naka attend si crew kaya itambak na lang ang mga rice sa ibabaw ng Chicken and peg nila dito🙄

So sinabihan ko si Crew na hindi tama na ipatong nya sa Chicken na kakainin ko yung rice na may balot pa at matagal na naka tiwangwang sa rice 🍚 rack nila. It's a big NO NO talaga ang ganun...

Well, wala naman syang naisagot sa akin hindi nga sya humingi ng paumanhin din sa akin which is soooo weird lang din.

So after kong magbayad I went to our table and yeah, extra plate na hiningi ko is hindi na hugasan ng maayos. Kita naman na puro kanin kanin pa sya😏 ang sad lang kaya.

So I went back sa counter para sya mapalitan. Well yung ipinalit is wala nang kanin pero basa naman🙄. Ang weird at nagkukulangan lang talaga ako sa maayos na customer service ng mga crew nila dito na tila hindi ganun ka trained sa customer service nila. Ni hindi man lamang pinunasan yung plato na ibinigay sa akin.

I mean di ba, nag re reklamo na nga ako di ba dapat mas aayusin na nila yung ipapalit na plato. Asa ako, pero hindi kase ganun dito and just to avoid any Conflict ako na lang ang nag punas ng plato to cut off any unmet expectations ko😏

Ang sad ng ganito tapos food industry pa noh😔🙁☹️😕

This is from Jollibee Waltermart Sucat nga pala.

In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!

BE WARNED OF GRABFOOD.

Sharing my experience with GRABFOOD to warn you guys.

FYI

I made a food order recently through their app using pay via mastercard option.

They sent me a notification on the same app saying payment did not push through so I need to click on their message to process payment. If I don't, then I may not be allowed to order next time using the mastercard payment option.

So I processed it.

It ended up with a double debit, aka the amount was deducted twice from my account.

I already called my bank and they confirmed the amount was debited twice so I need to request Grab to issue a cancellation memo.

It has now been weeks that I have been going in circles with Grab Support Centre because they still would not issue a memo.

Honestly, it should be easy to check given that they too must have an SOA from the bank of transfer. But no, they would not.

I did my research and apparently, this happened to others too. The money went to grab and they would not return it.

So please be warned.

Please remember if you need to call a business, go to their actual website (or for example for credit cards, use the number on the back of the card) to get their official phone number.

Do NOT trust the number you find on a Google search. Some of those are going to be scam numbers.

For example:

-folks have called in to what they thought were airline customer service to troubleshoot a canceled flight, only to be prompted to pay for new tickets or rescheduling fees, only to discover later that they had just given credit card information to a scammer instead of the airline

-folks have called in to healthcare facilities to schedule or change appointments and ended up giving their ssn information to what turned out to be scammers instead of actual healthcare phone operators

-folks have called in to troubleshoot missing packages only to be asked to download an app by a scammer, who uses that app to access their devices

It's worth the time and critical scrutiny to make sure you're calling the correct number. With the new administration coming in being hell-bent on dissolving the CFPB, this is only going to get worse going forward, and we all need to look out for it.

Another thing I just adore about Ed and Stede's dynamic is Ed certainly does not NEED anyone to protect him. He's a very competent person who is extremely successful and has a reputation built on being brilliant and a tactical genius. It would be so, so easy for Stede's desire to help and protect Ed to come across as condescending at best and racist at worst.

But it doesn't, because Stede isn't perfomative about it. He doesn't walk around acting like Ed is helpless or stupid. He just responds, earnestly and genuinely, when he sees Ed is in distress.

Take the party in s1e5 for example. Ed is visibly very upset, and even though Stede stops him from going back in there, we know that Ed could probably easily find a way to terrify the people who were so cruel to him. He's only got one single-shot gun, sure, but we know Ed's smart enough he could figure this out. But Stede tells Ed that he'll deal with it, and he embarasses them, gets them to light their ship on fire, and Ed looks at him like he just hung the fucking stars in the sky.

Has anyone ever stood up for Ed like this before? Ever? Is it any wonder we first see Ed thinking about kissing Stede right after this?

And then Ned Low is the other obvious example. Other people have rightly pointed out that the moment Ned died was when he was playing with Ed's hair, mocking him, and we see Stede's furious face. Ned just signed his own death certificate, he just didn't know it yet, because Stede was never going to let him leave his ship alive after that. They go out of their way this episode to show us how Ned is insulting, mocking, and racist towards Ed to make sure we know exactly why Stede was never going to let him live.

And, yes, Ed did tell Stede that he shouldn't kill Ned, trying to protect Stede. But Ed isn't surprised when Stede does it - at worst, he feels bad that Stede thought the "poison" of killing someone was worth it because of Ed. I think Ed knew, at least on some level, especially after what happened to those rich racist dickheads - he can count on Stede making people who are awful to him pay for it.

I love that Stede will take people insulting him without blinking an eye all day, but the second they're mean to Ed it's fucking on sight. No one insults his princess and gets away with it. And I'm sure Ed feels bad that Stede does these things for him, but I hope he's starting to realize that he deserves to be cared for the way Stede looks out for him. These two want to protect each other so bad.

In conclusion, I guess: if you're staying at their inn and you say a single mean thing to Ed, you better start fuckin' running
