Banned from having a knife.

I was working as a temp in a warehouse. On my second day i asked a guy if he had a knife to cut some thick piece of rope we needed released. He says "nah im banned from having a knife."

He said it with an absolute straight face. I was absolutely surprised. Other people had knives on them.

When he wasnt around I bursted out laughing about it.

Is it reasonable to ask a jeweler for the pricd of this, and then get the gold part made first, and then add the platinum part one year later?

My girlfriend and I want matching rings. But we currently have something going on in our lives so we dont want to spend the extra money on the platinum part but we want to get it eventually. We were quoted about C$800 for gold rings and C$2300 for platinum/gold bands in the picture.

Could i ask a jewler to make the gold bands for $800 first and then one year later we get the platinum added for the remaining $1500?

Or is that not how it works? Sorry if this is a dumb question

It has to be platinum. Not silver. Not white gold.

Is it possible to insert a platinum band into a 14k gold band?

I have gold bands and want to add platinum bands into the middle to make it two-toned. Is it worth it and doable?

What should I consider when getting rings?

I never paid attention in science class, but I have been reading that silver tarnishes, platinum is hard to work with so thats more labour. White gold needs to be replated.

I'd like to buy engagement wedding rings for my fiancée and I.

She said she wants gold. I wanted platinum but she said she wants the rings to match. I'll gladly take some gold/platinum combination.

I have also heard that jewelers don't recomend mall Jewellery stores. I heard mall Jewellery stores are the equivalent of axe body spray of Jewellery.

I don't know how to find a good jewler.

Did I do something wrong

I was riding down this bike lane and I noticied a bike was coming in behind me farily fast. I simply stopped peddaling and I let my bike slow down on it's own. I was aiming for this area circled bevause I always leave my bike there. Those high vis cones arent there anymore. The bike behind me aproached me from behind and seemed to have no intention of slowing down even though I could tell they were gaining up on me and they could most definitely tell that they were gaining up on me, even if they couldnt tell i was slowing down. So I arrive at the red circle and the person behind said some nasty comment, but I didnt hear them properly or they didnt speak English? Idk. But they sounded furious and they waived their palm at as they kept going past me.

Should I feel betrayed?

I worked at a liquor store and I was a cashier. The rule is that you have to ID the people who handle and/or show interest in alcohol if you feel they are 25 or under.

So there was these young pair, A guy and a chick. The guy had ID but she didn't. So I said sorry I can't sell to you, you were handling alcohol. She got noticeably angry and was determined to stand her ground but I wasnt having it. A coworker of mine overheard the standoff and she intervened and for god knows why, she sided with them and she told me to let them make the purchase. I honestly felt fairly humiliated.

About three months later I went there as a customer. I didn't have my ID and I didnt sweat it because they all know me. So I show up and they had a cashier from another store come in to cover, I had never seen her in my life. And she asks for my ID. I'm thinking "are you fking serious." I turn to two of my coworkers and they just kinda found it funny, shrugged and kept their heads down. The coworker who intervened last time wasnt there. I left empty handed.

b/waiters bans you if you talk about not tipping

I made a post and I had no idea about it. When they were talking about the waiter's behavior, they said the waiter just wants tips. I said i go there all the time and i never tip.

The ban is absolute. No appeals, no buts, cant say the slightest hint about not tipping.
