Relationship can’t change if you don’t enter into one, cats are all I need!

No, we actually call unlicensed taxi firms “pirate cabs”. Never saw an eye patch, which is probably a good thing. Depth perception is a plus for a driver.

One time I had a regular cab driver in DC put his hand up my skirt at 3 am. And one time no cabs would come to Fur after an EDM show that let out late, so we paid a guy with a crack pipe in his car $200 to take us to Alexandria.

My face reading this. I would be so scared if that happened to me. Great call to not get in the car with him. Oh my god.

Marketing. They were incredibly successful in tapping the “stick it to the man, share-economy” market. Who needs regulation and licensing? C’mon kids, let’s put on a show in the old barn! That’s filled with rapists!

Cab drivers can be scary and rude, too. Since she was able to communicate by phone first, she saved herself being in a car with that man. I choose services like Uber because I can share/receive info easier with my friends and the driver so if anything did go wrong I have more avenues of communication than I do hopping…

Yay for your husband! I am going to make a wild and crazy prediction, that turnover in his location will be a fraction of the average in other stores. Retail is awful, but, he is doing his part to make his store not as heinous. It sounds like he’s good at what he does.

When I worked retail for a certain controversial store, half of everyone’s shifts were on call. All them being about 4 hours. So you had to completely have that day free, but wouldn’t know if you were working until, what, two hours before your shift? If you actually were called in, you made 36 bucks for those 4 hours.

I was an operations team leader for a corporate chain of craft stores, which is just to say assistant store manager. Anyway, when they were training me for interviews for hiring seasonal employees, that is exactly what I was told to look for. Completely open availability for seasonal part time jobs that would never…

Ugh...this reminds me of several years ago, when I had just broken up with this guy, mostly for being too clingy. I had left facebook open in my browser, walked back in the room, and my cat had typed and sent a gibberish post on his wall. The “no, seriously we’re broken up” conversation had to start all over again…

I work at an URBN-owned store and another small mom and pop (actually just the mom) owned business that pays me about $4 more and gives me a steady, non hypothetical schedule. On Saturday I have an on-call that lasts the entire day, as in, I call in at 7 to find out if I work an 8 hour shift. My boss at the other…

My husband once had to sign a non-compete contract for a minimum-wage part time job. He was not legally allowed to take on another job without written permission from his supervisor. There was no reason for this, they were just assholes. At one point they decided he would be alternating mornings, evenings, and…

Hiring practices have become ridiculous these days. I’m expected to have a completely open, empty schedule for a part-time retail job that might give me 8-12 hours a week for minimum wage with no benefits, on a constantly rotating and shifting schedule. That's how high and mighty they sit.

UGH I worked at PACSUN (clothing retailer) and on-calls were the WORST. Pointless anxiety honestly.

But you never know when the flocks of preteen girls will hit.

It’s absolutely unnecessary for anyone in non-emergency fields to be on-call. Ever.

I think you could use it as part of your Katy Perry Halloween costume.

Well I’ll put on my judgey mcjudgey pants right along with you. There is really no reason for this to exist much less for anyone to actually wear it.

Eh, he’s working WITH people of another culture here, not taking elements of another culture for his own profit and passing it off as his own shit.

Even after we are dead, men won’t leave our bodies alone. I know, I know #misandry!
