Hey.

I’m Dan. A 36 year old father of two who doesn’t have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

Oneeightnine , to ukcasual in Recommend me a supermarket that has a good delivery service?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Nah I get it. I’ve had substitutes before and there’s so many, and they happen so often that I question why I’d even risk it to begin with.

Same goes with these new Deliveroo type ordering services, they’re wrong just enough that I’m almost ready to give up with them completely.

The problem you’re going to have, especially with substitute items is that the staff don’t really have the time to be picky with what they’re picking. Often the gun will select something that’s in a different location, which means they’ve got to trek elsewhere to get it…or they can keep to their times, select something else entirely and move on with their pick; especially in the run up to Christmas where there’s a massive influx of untrained staff who frankly, couldn’t give a shit.

Obviously there’s going to be a bit of shift from store to store, company to company, but I think there’s a general view that if the customer is that put out by the subs, they’ll just come and get their shopping in store next time, or they won’t and another customer will fill the slot.

It’s bad for customers and bad for colleagues, but the bosses just don’t give a crap. £££ go up.

Anyway. Forgive my moan. I don’t really have anything meaningful to add to this. Maybe give Ocado a look? They tend to be a bit pricier but I imagine, given the nature of their business that getting it right on the doorstep is the be all and end.

He’d basically be dissolving his own position at that point right?

Oneeightnine , to nostupidquestions in Attention is required for thinking. Advertisers fight for attention. The Buddhists say that attention is the axis of reality. Attention might even be LOVE. But what exactly is attention?

The thing I’m giving to this post instead of giving to the growing pile of laundry I need to do.

Oneeightnine , to nostupidquestions in What do overnight shift workers do when the clocks change?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Well firstly, any new staff inevitably ask the ‘do we work an hour more/less’ depending on the circumstance.

Aside from that, not much else changes. One Sunday morning I’d finish at 6 and then six months later I’d have a Sunday where I finished at 8.

Fortunately I never worked Sunday nights, so I never felt like I was losing much after work time.

Oneeightnine OP , to casualuk in What's for breakfast?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Sounds alright by me.

Oneeightnine , to books in Do you buy books you have already read?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

If I genuinely absolutely adore a book that I’ve read digitally I’ll usually go in for the paperback. And, this might be the snob in me, but I’m more likely to make that purchase if it’s a nonfiction book.

Oneeightnine , to nostupidquestions in What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Thanks for the heads-up. It would appear I was wrong.

Oneeightnine , to nostupidquestions in What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

I think that technically we have two ‘moons’ already. Just that the other one is super small and doesn’t really have much effect on the planet.

Sorry that this didn’t answer your question, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Oneeightnine , to ukcasual in It is Monday. Anyone fancy a spot of group therapy? How do you cure the Monday blues?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Monday is the second day of my weekend, so it’s probably my favourite day.

Tuesday though? Oh boy. We don’t like Tuesdays.

I’m partial to a Sainsbury’s Red Label myself.

Oneeightnine , to nostupidquestions in What does going to a mental institution do for you?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

I think there’s a big difference between a mental institution and a therapist. Almost apples and oranges.

Does BabyBell and Cheese String count?

Oneeightnine , to nostupidquestions in Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

I’m a big sports guy and I rarely see random sports posts in the wild. Could OP be viewing the “all” page maybe? We had a similar issue a few days ago with Elon Posts and I wonder if it’s not a similar issue here?

Oneeightnine , to casualuk in Got a singular tea bag in the mail today.

Also…on a Sunday? Madness.
