yesterday i took the train and got a bartholomew bear from a souvenir shop and put the bag under my seat on the way back. i got really bad heat exhaustion on the train back for whatever reason and i honestly was so out of it when unboarding, and forgot the bag.

i realized about 45 minutes later and immediately went back to the office and it wasn’t in the lost in found so i filled out a report. the train has made it there and back and been cleaned again and i never heard anything so i assume someone took it.

i am cursing your bloodline!!! ugh!!

anyways i guess don’t do that lol. i should’ve attached the gift bag to my purse but i didn’t think id ever forget a JELLYCAT somewhere.

i wound up going back up to silverton and buying another one 😶‍🌫️

Any recommendations for lash techs anywhere near Farmington?

2 Years ago i posted about how when i worked at durango joe’s they didn’t offer breaks despite colorado labor laws stating you get a break if you work 5 hour shifts which they didn’t adhere to.

Someone replied and said recently they had sent out a waiver about breaks but it didn’t change much.

What’s the word on that currently? Any DJ employees have thoughts on that?

Also it always bothered me that it’s a tipped wage when customers don’t know that and the tip percentage of a bill at a coffee shop just isn’t high enough to justify that. It’s the lowest paying coffee shop in town. The tipped wage means that Joe’s customers are essentially assisting him in paying his employees tipped wage to get them up to minimum wage and if it’s a good busy shift they might see a tipped effect on the check, but I was never impressed enough by it to feel good about how he runs his business.

What’s it like working there these days?

My one interaction with Joe was not savory, so altogether my opinion of the company is very poor.

I was opening early, and it was just me behind the counter and he comes in which is unusual, to deliver the burritos himself and is ALL up in my way.

I kept politely trying to tell him he was repeatedly in my way, but he insisted on somehow always being right behind me and not telling me, so I took a step back and HE bumped into ME and I spilled some coffee beans (SOME!!)

(which by the way had never happened before, and everyone working at that location told me it was a right of passage to accidentally spill the hopper of beans while cleaning it which is MORE beans than i spilled) and he told me that was the “worst most stupid mistake anyone has ever made at the company” and then continued to bother me and be in my way while I was trying to work.

Mind you, he told us one time while i was covering at a different location that he had spilled a lot of stuff on the job and also broke a blender…..

anyways! do yall get 15 min breaks?

hi everyone!!
i just wanna say, the emerson obsession lately has made me see a lot of people become very frustrated with bag hunting certain colors and with free people and whatnot.

While i love the emersons to death and highly recommend, i know how it feels for it to become an obsession. i’ve fallen down this rabbit hole with many brands (baggu, coach) etc. it consumes my life and i become OBSESSED.

the popularity of these bags will die down, and the fun spring colors won’t be as popular in the fall and winter months. if you don’t grab a color you want now, in the fall they’ll probably have new colors that are just as fun.

if you snag one, that’s awesome, but if you’re thinking of giving up, i honestly encourage it. wait it out for a while! don’t let a bag get you down! close the app and have some peace of mind 😅. i want greenery so bad but im just gonna wait around until the hype is over and try to snag one later!

idk if FP is intentionally doing scarcity marketing, bc they do seem to be trying to keep up with the sudden and intense rise in popularity by doing pre orders, or back ordering rather than cancelling. Or restocking somewhat often, albeit random times.

the most important thing to remember is a brand is a brand at the end of the day. they care about marketing and money. they are riding out this wave of hype as much as they can, and want to make a profit.

don’t take it as a personal slight when they restock at a earlier date than they previously gave, or something like that. they just want $$.

it’s easier to say than to actually do, but if you find yourself feeling like you need to delete the app for some peace, go for it!!

i hope this doesn’t come off preachy. i am coming from experience, and believe me when i say this;

if it’s not this bag, it’ll be another one. i am prone to this obsession too, and there’s always a new white whale.

edit;

also side note, the emerson is a dupe of another bag, so you should feel no shame in going for a dupe of the emerson! many brands have duped the city bag (which might also be a dupe lol i dont remember).

if you’re going after it because of the color, you can always try dying the salt emerson as well!

does anyone have this color in any version? if so do you have pics? i’d love to see!

the most compliments i’ve ever got in a perfume EVER. i’ve only worn it twice 😭 ive gotten stopped multiple times. in all my years trying perfumes (kayali, YSL, killian, snif, you name it) ive NEVER been stopped like this.

chelsea morning solid perfume with the regular chelsea perfume and super milk primer in the hair. crazy!!

i’ve been searching for a perfume that lasts and projects with my body chemistry and most just don’t seem to do that (except ysl libre but sometimes it’s a bit intense for summer and such but i haven’t been stopped for it)
