Hi all, this weekend the car my mom and I share made its way into the shop because both doors are malfunctioning. Sometimes the doors won’t unlock and open and sometimes it won’t lock at all. We’ve decided to get it fixed now rather than later and split the cost down the middle but I’m $100 dollars short. If there is anyone willing to help I would be grateful and if not it’s perfectly ok. I appreciate you all 🫶🏽

Hi to all! I’m going to try and keep this as short and concise as possible, I appreciate any and all advice!

I currently work at a partner store and we are the top location in the district. We were told by our supervisor it was due to us going above and beyond when making guest connections, allowing each customer to feel special in their own way. Now, this all sounds great but recently it’s become a concern for me and my coworkers, this is due to the fact we have had some customers that cross boundaries, or so we feel that they have.

For instance, one of my coworkers is a teenager and he tends to be a fan favorite especially for the lady customers. He’s very kind, patient and helpful.. he literally lights up a room. The concerning part about it is that a few of our regular, adult customers have come in with gifts for him, this is with every visit. While he appreciates the gifts, it makes him uncomfortable because he feels he doesn’t know these customers well enough to receive gifts from them and how he feels he can’t really decline them. His mom even came in and spoke to our supervisor because him being a child, she feels is very inappropriate for strangers to be doing this.

Another situation is that one of my coworkers, she’s a young adult and there’s this one customer who definitely favors her. Her concerns stems from his strange behavior and what he’s told her. He would come in, order his usual and ask other baristas if this one coworker was working that day. I haven’t been working much these past few weeks but I’ve heard that he came in multiple times in a day and multiple times in a week to see if this coworker was there, whole time she was on vacation. So when he saw her he told her this and she became really uncomfortable. She was on register taking orders and she said she could see him standing by the registers in the store staring at her I guess to come back around and have another conversation but we were so busy and swamped he ended up leaving an hour after ordering his drink. He was standing and staring at her for an hour. Now she’s nervous coming into work possibly having to see him again.

There’s plenty of other stories I have but this post would turn into a whole novel. Now that you’ve gotten somewhat of the full picture, my question is how do we go about boundaries. We don’t want to escalate anything or make a guest feel unwelcome, but at the same time, as employees, we should feel comfortable and safe at work. Where do we draw the line between a good guest connection and a guest becoming overly familiar or attached to a specific employee? Thank you all for your help and I’m sorry this ended up being a long one 🙏🏽

Hi everyone, I’m currently in need of paying off a school fee (college) by the end of tonight and if I don’t have it, I might lose my financial aid. I wasn’t aware of this fee until last week but I wasn’t working this past week due to my hours being cut. I work this week and next week and I’ll be able to pay the debt off by next Monday. I’m willing to show proof of the school fee and place of employment! Any other information you need, I’d be happy to provide. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Something production should consider for next season is having a rotation during the first week so couples aren’t latching onto each other early on. If everyone had to switch beds and couples, it would give EVERYONE a fair shot to actually explore connections instead of just sticking to the first initial connection they make. Everyone this season has been locked in since week 1 and defeats the purpose of exploring. Everyone should be exploring, bombshells should have a chance at exploring. Just my opinion, feel free to add on and share 🫶🏽

In my honest option, I think they’re cute together.. but I really think they need to explore other people and tonight’s episode solidified that for me.

Don’t get me wrong, I can completely understand why Aniya would want to be reassured that she’s solid in her connection with KC, but he’s literally only explored his connection with her and has consistently reassured her from what we’ve seen. He opened up to her about wanting to explore Sol if that opportunity persists and Aniya had a complete breakdown. I feel like Aniya is holding back because she truly feels like she doesn’t have many options/she doesn’t want to step on toes and that KC feels like he can’t really explore because he doesn’t want to hurt Aniya.

I hope in the coming episodes, new bombshells come in specifically FOR Aniya and maybe some options for KC as well so they can have their Love Island experience. If it’s meant to be, they’ll come back to each other but it’s ok to explore.
