Safeway Shoreline Blvd is having theft issues like Safeway San Antonio Rd but it is not as severe. They just closed one entrance at Shoreline Blvd. San Antonio Rd kept all entrances and elevators open, but installed security gates and fencing and blaring alarms. No homeless people around Shoreline Blvd unlike San Antonio Rd, so I think Shoreline Blvd is still a better store than San Antonio Rd cus they don’t have alarmed security gates.

I just went to the Los Altos Safeway recently and it is exactly like what the San Antonio store used to be before the alarmed security gates. It felt very open, modern, clean, and has a lot of milk and snacks in stock compared to San Antonio after they got security gates. Only batteries, tampons, and expensive alcohol are locked up at Los Altos. There are no armed third party security guards and no alarmed security gates with loud annoying alarm going off constantly. It felt exactly what the San Antonio store used to be and they open the same year in 2013. The Shoreline store is older and dirtier, but still felt open and doesn’t have alarmed security gates, armed third party security guards, and doesn’t excessively lock up merchandise. Can‘t believe San Antonio store locked up all items not locked up in nearby stores which are all vitamins, supplements, otc medications, travel sized toiletries, and detergent. I saw aisles of items locked up on both sides for the full length at San Antonio Safeway. They have armed third party security from allied universal hanging around the entrance and there are alarmed security gates with the alarm going off constantly. How will you get out of the store if you’re only going in to pick up your prescriptions from the pharmacy or if you change you mind without setting off the alarm? I will keep boycotting the San Antonio Safeway and will never return unless they get rid of the alarmed security gates. EDIT: San Antonio Road Safeway recently locked up instant coffee!

Former team member here. My store was scheduled to get remodeled in 2027 and I went today there were Porta potties and hand washing stations set up outside. Inside, the men‘s and women’s bathroom doors were both covered in construction tarp. The family bathroom appears to be untouched. There aren’t any signs saying the store is open during a remodel. I wonder if the store is actually getting remodeled starting with the bathrooms?

I went to Marriott Taipei and the first thing I saw on the window at the door was a sign saying “No Camera” in English complete with a pictogram next to it. There was also a ”No Smoking“ sign in English with a pictogram beside the ”No Camera” sign. I’ve never seen a hotel especially a corporate international chain hotel ban cameras, photos, and videos. However there were a ton of people taking pictures and videos for their social media and there was a huge conference with a ton of cameras taking pictures and videos of the conference. I took some pictures and videos of the hotel for myself to share with my family and friends. None of the employees ever said anything to us or other guests about using cameras, but the sign at the hotel entrance is very strange. Weird! Any other Marriott hotels in the world have “No Camera“ signs?

Are the prices at the Safeway on San Antonio Road higher than the other Safeway locations on Shoreline Blvd and Miramonte Ave due to intense security measures and higher theft rate? I’m not including the mini store on Rengstorff Ave cus it’s not a full sized store and the selection there is very limited.

My dad never tips the restaurant servers or hair stylists in Taiwan, but he always tip the bell boys in cash in hotels, Uber eats, and Uber. I told my dad not to tip, but he says it is his money and he is going to tip regardless to “help them out.” I told him not to spread his American tipping cancer and he says it’s not cancer but it’s trying to “respect them.” He even told me I will get negative review on Uber for not tipping in Taiwan, but I rode Uber myself under my own account and didn’t tip and still got a 5 star rating. How can I stop to get my dad from tipping to “help out” bell boys, uber eats, and Uber drivers. He’s acting like he’s in America aside from not tipping in the sit down restaurants and hair stylists In Taiwan. I need to stop him and get him out of the American mindset. He’s not helping the locals working in the service industry, he’s just spreading American tipping cancer. Nobody in Taiwan ever demanded he tip including the people he tipped.

I notice there are a sizable amount of episodes with quite a lot of mistakes during reenactments especially involving the cabin sequences and sometimes the cockpit sequences too. Lots of times where crew and equipment are visible. I’ve seen lamp and pole visible, tarp visible, reflections and shadows of cameramen, and the studio being visible. Someone should make a list of all the episodes where crew and equipment are visible. Kinda crazy that they keep making these mistakes and not realizing it after nearly 25 years.

The UKG Pro training shows the old time clock instead of the new time clock in all the pictures in the training. Really Amazon???

Taiwan requires all foreign visitors to carry their physical passport with them at all times, but my dad forced me to leave the passport in the hotel safe and instead take a photo of the ID page with my phone and show that photo in place of a physical passport instead. Do you think police in Taiwan can slide a photo of the ID page on a phone as a real passport?

Japan doesn’t allow photos or videos in the international arrivals baggage claim as there are no photography signs right on the baggage carousels themselves. I know that photography is restricted in security, quarantine, immigration, and custom checkpoints but a baggage claim isn’t a checkpoint. I don’t see no photography signs in the international arrivals baggage claim in Taiwan, Canada, or United States, only in the screening checkpoints. So weird that Japan is the only country that ban photos in the entire international arrivals baggage claim, not just the screening checkpoints.

When does BayPass deactivates for graduating students and students on semester leave?

MUSC 10C Section 81 with Ian Carlton canvas page is missing.

What are the name of all the Whole Foods Mood Custom programs made for Whole Foods and the Vanilla Mood programs approved by Whole Foods?

Does Air France, China Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy Class Have Dedicated Lavatories? Planning a trip from San Francisco to Paris, San Francisco to Taipei, or San Francisco to London. Do these three airlines provide lavatories in premium economy class separate from regular economy class? Ive been on premium economy class and shared lavatories with regular economy class on Singapore Airlines and the lines were long and the lavatories got dirty. I’ve heard some airlines do provide separate lavatories from regular economy class for premium economy class. I’m just not sure if Air France, China Airlines, or Virgin Atlantic does.

So I am not trans, but just a straight male in early 20s that’s autistic. My voice is high pitch cus during puberty I fought my voice cracks to prevent my voice from deepening. When I talk on the phone with my “phone voice” I get mistaken as a woman and get called “she” and “mam“ a lot. I work in retail in customer service and customers and some other employees will often mistaken me as a woman if I speak to them from behind when I speak with my “customer service voice”. However, the employees in my team often see me and recognize my voice so they don’t misgendered me as much as other teams. I really hate it when this happen but I don’t correct people when they misgender me. My twin brother whose not autistic and didn’t fight his voice cracks have a deeper voice than mine but it’s still on the higher pitch end, but he haven’t told me that he gets misgendered. There is someone at my store who is a young trans man and he sometimes get mistaken as a woman by employees in other teams and customers. His voice also sounds like a woman's voice despite identifying as a man. When we answer the phone at work we have to state our names so misgendering doesn't happen as much to me and the trans man over the phone when customers call the store. I don’t know if there’s anything I can do at this point to get my voice deeper and sound more like a man.

Today I had a 40 something item order and I asked another team member to help me re bag and consolidate my bags and she took out the bag of ginger and forgot to put it back into the bag. I failed to notice it so I went to do my next order of 3 items with it still on the cart basket. I then went on break and came back to retrieve the cart and only did I notice the bag of ginger. The order which was a delivery have already been picked up by an Amazon Flex driver. I was concerned I will get in trouble, but other team members reassured me that I won’t and others have scanned and not bagged an item before and didn’t get in trouble. Will I get in trouble?

I just started last month and my store got the new larger carts. However, my store was built before 2020 in the mid 2000s, so it doesn’t have an actual big E-Comm room that can accommodate the wide carts. The new wide carts causes traffic jams within the small converted E-Comm room which the old plastic supply carts didn’t cause and they also get stuck within the small awkwardly shaped room. Unfortunately, I’m less than six months in but I’m already considering switching to other departments or transferring to a nearby store that opened after 2020 to stay in E-Comm. If I stay at my store I want to switch to either specialty, whole body, or front end cashier. I really don’t want to leave my store everyone is very nice and kind to me. I’ve never been to that other brand new store nearby, but I’ve heard they got all the new stuff and a real E-Comm room.

Saw a crazy homeless man inside the gates alarm Safeway on San Antonio road harassing all the customers inside and got kicked out by the associates. This same crazy homeless man loiters at the Village at San Antonio Center phase 2 sometimes and harasses people working or walking thru there and security kicks him out often. This man is known to harass people and loiter in private property. Go to Shoreline, Miramonte, Los Altos First Street, or Rengstroff Mini Mart instead. No mentally ill homeless people and no alarm security gates.
