I know that in my city, they frown upon dumping it down a drain/toilet. They sure do make it easy and convenient though with 1 hazardous waste disposal place that's 45 minutes clear across town. Mine generally goes down the driveway and into a huge concrete drainage ditch that feeds the man-made lake in the middle of the neighborhood. Considering how high the HOA fees are and how they give no shits about re-stocking it with fish like they said they would for the past 3 years, I don't really care that it's where it ends up because I honestly don't do much coolant system work and gently caress that lake with the stupid loving fountain in it that they also haven't fixed. Basically what I'm saying is HOAs are loving worthless for anything but taking your money and complaining about every little god drat thing, while doing nothing with the money you send them.

Goddamn what a lovely day at work. Too many drivers, not enough business. Then once the closing manager took over the till (after counting it), he gave myself and another driver access - that way we don't have to find a manager to cash us out on every run, and we can handle carry-out orders. It's normal for the closing driver to have till access, and to handle a lot of dispatch duties. I closed. The other driver with access was the late driver. .... till came up $100 short, exactly. I know it wasn't me, I know drat well it wasn't the other driver. I ran a till audit, and saw the other driver used that computer exactly once - to reprint a receipt (which doesn't open the drawer). I saw two no-sales under my name; I did one to make change for a waitress, the other was less than a minute later later, and I know drat well I didn't do it - so someone either did it just as I walked off (before it timed out - 15 seconds), or figured out my password (easy enough - the POS requires a 2-5 digit numerical password). I made sure to change my password before I left, at least. Closing manager claims to have seen two $100 bills in there earlier (why the gently caress weren't they dropped?! that drawer is never supposed to have over $100 in it), and only one of them was still there, without a corresponding increase in other bills, at close. I only saw one of them, and made sure to bury it under the checks once I saw it. That was one of the new Monopoly style Benjamins, and that's the one that was still in there at close. Best part? There's a camera directly over it, aimed at the drawer. The DVR crapped out 6 months ago, and they're too cheap to fix it.  There's probably gonna be some paperwork for all 3 of us (closing mgr, myself, and late driver) over it.We have a POS station w/cash drawer that we never use at the drive thru (we can enter orders on it, but that's it without it having a till assigned) - I'm going to strongly suggest that we start using it and assign either a head driver (we have 3 - myself and 2 others - head driver basically meaning we often handle dispatch duties and training, and been there long enough to be trusted with store finances, also trusted with management passwords to issue refunds, credits, cash out dine-in tickets, etc) or a CSR to it, and assign one manager to the one we normally use to dispatch. It'll add a lot more accountability, and it'll also mean we have a till at the drive-thru. Oh yeah, left my window cracked between deliveries with my regular glasses sitting in the car (in an Oakley case, the case I usually keep my sunglasses in). They disappeared, so now I'm down to my sunglasses and a 10 year old pair of prescription glasses. I'm hoping they just rolled under the seat.  [/en] Fucknag posted:Antifreeze you can actually just dump down the drain, as it gets broken down at the water treatment plant. Really depends on the city, as viper pointed out. SMALL amounts - like a couple of gallons - you're probably safe doing that with, assuming a decent sized city. But many cities - mine included - will pick it up, for free, if you just call them and let them know you'd like them to pick up household chemicals. This is what my city will accept. For some reason, they don't accept nuclear or medical waste.  If you're on a septic, don't ever dump coolant down the drain. Don't do it in a small town either. Only do that in a big city, and only via the sewer, not storm drains (storm drains normally drain to a creek). And check with your water utility first. Dallas, for example, says it's perfectly fine to dump up to 3 (5?) gallons at a time into a toilet. Plano says OH HELL NO to even a drop. They're on similar wastewater treatment systems, but Plano is a suburb. There's also this: quote:You will be instructed to place the items in a box marked "HCC" at your collection point by 7:00 a.m., at least 2 feet from your refuse and recycling containers. Each box placed out should weigh no more than 50 pounds. This is a service separate from your regular garbage, recycling, and landscape waste collection. I've made use of this service several times for old paint, antifreeze, and oil. Since my car takes exactly 5 qts, and I buy my oil in 5 qt jugs, I just dump the used oil into the jugs and put them in the box the night before collection. KozmoNaut posted:Oh yeah, I think weightlifting or crossfit* is much better than just running, but for someone who just wants to be able to run more, C25K is great. There's a Crossfit next to where I work. I see people running around there that look like they're about to fall over, between the medicine ball on their shoulder and the 95F degree heat. gently caress that. I'm quite happy with my city rec center membership. They do have trainers available for a (very cheap) fee, but I'm only after cardio right now. Also taken a couple of university level fitness classes, and my doctor and I are both in agreement that working my way into cardio is my best option right now. I'm not trying to build muscle mass yet - I want to get my blood pressure and resting heart rate down, and drop some weight. Once I'm down to a healthy weight, I'll start worrying about muscle. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 09:04 on Jun 28, 2014 |

Ugh, I had $100 disappear under my name once, but the problem was that once it was dropped at the end of the day there was no accountability from there to the main office...So, no action taken besides me being asked about that day (like I'd remember that specifically) & I'm pretty sure they could deduce who did it but didn't have any proof really.

There's a chance - a very very slight chance - someone dropped it in the safe. But only a manager is authorized to do that - and a witness has to key in their password to do a drop (in addition to the manager on duty). If it was dropped without a password, then it'll be jammed in the top of the safe, and the safe will be giving an error in the morning about someone opening the drop drawer without authorization (you need an RFID tag + PIN to even look in its general direction, and it shuts most stuff down after 7pm.. except for drops... and you still need to enter the RFID+PIN to open the drop slot - it won't prevent the slot from opening). The safe is locked after 7pm (it can be opened at 8am), so we couldn't get in there. And the only person who's been loving up on safe drops has been a new asst mgr (the store he came from used a newer version of our point of sale system). He did work today (yesterday now), but when they do a shift change, the over/short is displayed for each till. Once the new shift accepts it, the till resets to whatever was accepted - thus, resetting the over/short to $0 for that drawer. I've had cash disappear in my name before at a grocery store, but it was the one day I was working with the flu + 102 fever. The only other time anything else happened was when I forgot to hand back debit cash back to a customer - and thankfully for me, every time, the customer called and said "hey uh, I don't think I got my cash back". If they called, it'd be noted, and a gift card (or cash) would be waiting for them, or I'd run it to them on my way home if I was the one to answer the phone. The one time I was short, it was $100. 102 fever + a bottle of Delsym != cash handling skills. They called me zero hero for a reason.  They had a progressive points system - if you were off by $4.99 or less, you didn't get points. Off by less than $3, lost points. Lose more if off by $1 or less, and lose a ton of points for zero. You'd gain points if you were off by said amounts; $50 (either at once or cumulative, regardless of direction) was a write up and demotion to cart/bagger for a week.Everything at the grocery store had 2 signatures though. Cashier + customer service mgr if it was a drop (or loan, basically "I need more coins or singles"). End of day deposit was closing CS mgr + my signature, and would be verified by the opening cash office manager. Cash drawers were also counted down to a set # (I think $400? $75ish worth of coins, the rest small bills), signed off by cashier and mgr, signed off again by opening cash office manager, and then re-counted by the next person to take the till (and if THAT didn't add up, the opening CS manager counted it - if it still didn't add up, cash office manager got some paperwork, as did the last mgr to count the drawer). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Jun 28, 2014 |

Yeah. According to the guy in the silver E46 M3, the white E36 was getting more erratic as the session went on and he dropped a wheel at the top of the hill. When you crest the hill, it gets a bit squirrely; however, it's completely manageable.
