Located in Ontario. My partner works for a meat supplier, super long hours, like 10-12 hours days, 6 days a week. His overtime is paid in cash, at regular hourly rate, not time and a half.

Hes hesitate to report this to the labour board, since he works with a lot of people not from Canada who are okay with the hours and the pay, and he doesn’t want to risk them losing a job. But from what I’ve researched, this is illegal, and I think it should be reported.

The employer apparently tried justifying it by saying it was saving him money from taxes, which doesn’t sit right either. That sounds like fraud my partner could get in trouble for, and after doing some math, he’s definitely still making way less in overtime than he should, even after factoring in taxes.

Any advice?

Hi everyone, I’ve tried searching but I’m seeing conflicting info so I was hoping to get some clarity.

I made an online Aritzia purchase that I need to return for an outfit I need by Wednesday. If I return it in-store, will the refund be processed immediately back to a Visa Debit card, or does it usually take a few business days to show up?

Just trying to figure out if I can rely on the funds being available quickly or if I should plan to exchange instead. Thanks in advance!

This is just a petty complaint, but I recently sold a Coach tote bag on Poshmark, in excellent condition, for $65. I had purchased the bag about a year ago for around $250, but only used it once - I just never reached for it. I was in a “purge everything” mood, and priced it low so it would sell fast and I could get it out of my house.

I had a potential buyer ask me some questions about the bag, all of which could have been answered by simply reading my post or looking at the photos, then sent me an offer of $40. Normally, lowballers wouldn’t bother me - I’d simply counteroffer if their offer was too low. I’m mostly a buyer on Posh and understand wanting a good deal, especially when you factor in shipping & taxes.

But then I looked at their profile and it’s basically all Coach bags. The cheapest priced being $180, when the bag likely retailed for $210 on Coach Outlet.

Thats what miffed me. It felt like they were trying to lowball my already fairly priced bag to flip it for way more.

Butttt it sold shortly after for my full asking price, which felt very satisfying.

I know reselling is about the game, but like, at least try to be subtle about it 😅
