A Wizard of Goatse posted:unfortunately the update for that one deals exclusively with the logistics of avoiding the boyfriend, and barely makes any mention of the loving mom There are 3 updates and while you don't really get closure on the mom, it's understandable because it turns out her BF committed suicide immediately after she confronted him.  She then ghosted her mom and moved to another state to start a new life. Honestly I don't blame her one bit.

Moridin920 posted:Surely that kind of discount is once in a great while because I don't see how Walgreens is selling stuff at like a 98% discount regularly while also still existing as a business. The thing with Walgreens, at least when I worked there, was that they gave out an absurd amount of store coupons with few limitations and would practically accept a post-it note with "all stuff is free" as long as it had a barcode on it.

Moridin920 posted:Okay but if I was a manager and some dude came in on the regular with coups and walked out with $400 worth of stuff at a 98% discount I'd probably just ban that person because there's no way you're making money on their business and in fact you're probably losing it every time they come in. The manager at Walgreens is unlikely to be sharing profits, and the manufacturer compensates the store for the coupon value anyway.

Welp. Subjunctive posted:The manager at Walgreens is unlikely to be sharing profits, and the manufacturer compensates the store for the coupon value anyway. Oh I didn't realize they compensate the store for the coup value. Manager might not be sharing profits but you better believe their numbers are looked at - if your store and your shifts specifically are lagging on the profit margins a well managed company is going to take a closer look at why that is.

I dunno, I feel it's a reasonable argument because you are essentially "working" when you are doing coupon stuff, if you're making $5 an hour with all this coupon shenanigans that's not loving worth it, your time outside of work should be WAY more valuable than that.

Subjunctive posted:The manager at Walgreens is unlikely to be sharing profits, and the manufacturer compensates the store for the coupon value anyway. Yeah, Walgreens has every reason to go through with the transaction. Anyway, I know a fair number of people like this because I ~thrift~ (and it was popular among graduate students since we were all below pov). But the issue is, people will buy stuff they don't need or even want, and they will become uncomfortable paying fair retail price for anything that they need. So they will go without things that they actually do need to buy, like medicine. Or they will shoplift it. There's a lot of crossover there. So you think you're hanging out with Cool Mr. Money-Smart, and then he shows you that Target's counter wipes have a hole in the center and are relatively heavy so you can stash stuff inside there while in the store and it'll pass through checkout. And it's like, but... I don't need to steal aspirin, and he's like, what kind of fool are you, paying full price just to not be in pain Anyway, Extreme Couponing is like any other card game, only at the end you're left with a lonely house full of stale Lucky Charms. so exactly like magic: the gathering I guess.

Many people have so much time outside work that they can barely afford to live. Lots of people have to work two jobs to get by. By your own reasoning, why shouldn't couponing be considered one of them?

a shower of gold to wrap up your work week Me [25F] with my boyfriend[25 M] together 3 years, living together 3 months, he won't stop peeing on me in the shower. quote:So I have been with my boyfriend "Mark" for three years and we moved in together in November and have been drifting towards discussions of marriage. We each had our own apartments (w/roommates) but I was pretty much living at his apartment full time so we decided to give living together a try and it seemed to be going well. Generally we are on the same page when it comes to finances/goals/etc.

Yes, and that guy is a sucker adding on more diamonds to pile on the expense. Maybe his girlfriend same one as the coupon story and she had a meltdown at his spending.

How on earth did he spend 3 months salary on a ring when he already had the main stone, some other stones and some gold? Also, this is why you put the ring on your insurance!

I wonder how he would react if she straddled him in the shower and just pissed on him. Maybe eat a ton of asparagus first. On second thought, he might like it.

I highly doubt the validity of this post. Me [23 M] with my girlfriend [21 F] 3-years, being courted by crown prince of Dubai quote:Back in September, my girlfriend got invited to go to Dubai for modeling work. Long story short, she basically found out she was an escort for the crown prince of Dubai. He has two women working for him whose job is to find young women and fly them to Dubai for him to meet. After originally being in a group of 27 girls, he saw her and one day told her that he likes her and that he wanted to be with her. He pays her and most of these other girls $1,000 USD every day to do mostly nothing, just sit in a hotel room and I know he has other girls there but in different hotels. Once in a while he will call her and ask her to spend time with him, maybe go see him ride horses, go to the gym with him, and sometimes go overnight on his yacht with him and his friends. She just got back from her 3rd trip there and I cannot begin to describe the amount of stress this has caused for me. She usually spends a month there per trip. I asked her if she could stop going but she said she would not say no if they asked. I love her a lot and just disappointed about the whole thing. I trust she has not cheated on me but she has told me that he hugs her and kisses her cheek and holds her hand. I know she only lets him do this because he pays her. She has told me she has no feelings for him whatsoever too. What should I do? Appreciate all the replies.
