Attention everyone making Buckeye Necklaces:

Unless you are doing something really out of the ordinary with your design, you are not going to make NEARLY as much money as you think you are with these things. People will look at them and say ‘I can make that myself’ and if you’re just using pony beads a leather cord, they probably will. I will see you back in my shop this coming November with 60 receipts and 60 corresponding packages of pony beads because you wanted to get away with using a single coupon on each and every one of them. I will have to tender individual returns for each of them. You will grow more and more frustrated with yourselves, and in turn become angry with me, as you realize that we can’t just ‘compile them into one transaction.’ The line will extend behind you no matter how many people I call for backup. The manager will assume that you are trying to short-change the register. 

I can see this all happening because it happens every year and I see it happening now.

PS- they look hideous.

Alright, I’m bringing this one back up because even though it was addressed as a PSA to whomever, this was really about a SINGLE PERSON. 

There are several people in this are who make buckeye necklaces.  But there is one dude who is trying to make a business out of it. As in… a competitive business. As in… corner the market. 

Good luck, when you can’t walk a block in this town without tripping on a shop selling them. Buckeye trees are everywhere and if you have one in your yard and a drill you can make these things. 

But this man has decided that anyone else attempting to make buckeye necklaces is competition and he MUST be the only person making money at this. 

His plan is to buy each bag of pony beads with a single coupon in a separate transaction so that he gets 40% off all of his materials. This involves doing at least eight transactions throughout the day. 

Our pony beads are 4.29 for a package of 600. You can get a package of 650 for 2.49  online and we have suggested this to him but he insists that buying a single package of 250 at  2.56 (after coupon) is cheaper because he would have to pay shipping. (But let’s consider all the gas he’s putting into this… which could otherwise be spent doing literally anything else.)

He has systematically bought the stock of red, white, black, grey, and football-shaped pony beads in every store in our area and haunts the stores on days when we get more stock to see if he can buy more. If he doesn’t have his wallet on him, or otherwise is not in a position to buy them, he takes them from their spot on the floor and hides them so that no one else can. 

And then, when tax time comes, he takes all of the unopened packages and returns them. Each and every one of them. All separate transaction. A series of transactions at 2.56 each, amounting to $300. And he gets increasingly more and more angry when the process takes an hour, at first becoming bored. Then frustrated. Then angry. Then he begins shouting at whoever is running the register because no, we cannot return it as cash if you used a gift card- we have to put it as store credit. And he’s not taking store credit because he’s ‘never coming to this store ever again’ because it is OUR fault that his time is being wasted and it is OUR fault that he’s late and its OUR fault that things aren’t working the way he wants it to. And when it is done. He takes his pile of cash and store credit. And his pile of receipts. And his book of coupons that will expire in a week. And he gives the cashier a final shout of how he should be fired and that he is never coming back here again. And he leaves. And we are free of him. 

And then. 

In August. When football season begins and all anyone can think about is how OSU is going to pound Michigan straight into the ground. 

He comes back.

And he comes to my register. 

And he says: 

“I buy a lot of things here. Can  I get 40% off my entire purchase?”

And he is angry. When I tell him no. 

[libraford]

He’s back first thing in the morning and what do you know- he wants to use his coupon four times. I tell him, like I told him the last time, that the most I can do is three and it has to be in separate purchases. 

“Well, I’d really like it to be four.”

“I’m sorry, but we can only do three.”

“I have four coupons.”

“The most we can do is three, I’m sorry.”

“The last girl let me do the whole transaction.”

The last girl was me, but he apparently can’t be arsed to remember my face. Or anything that I said. “I’m sorry, but its one coupon per transaction and the most we can do for this purpose is three without getting into a lot of trouble with our boss.”

So he tosses one of them to the side, which I assume is him deciding that he doesn’t want this one.

“You can’t do four.”

“That’s correct sir.”

He tosses two others where the other one landed and stands there waiting for me to do something. I indicate the one remaining. “So did you want this one?”

“No, I want all of them, but you won’t let me have them!”

“So do you want me to ring… this one up?”

“No, I want you to ring THOSE up.” He gestures to them because apparently its very clear to him what I should be doing.

He’s just… increasingly angry that I won’t let him have our entire stock of a child-oriented craft supply. Like… he routinely buys us out. There are no more for kids who want to make these things for their friends because this jackass and other jackasses like him think they can be millionaires.

i clicked something that took me to this, i don’t know what I clicked but I was closing tabs and but it was sitting open in on of the tabs and I got trapped reading it.

For those of you who don’t know, Ohio State University’s football team is The Buckeyes, a buckeye is the nut from a buckeye tree. This bananas man is trying to make these necklaces for football season.

I feel hella sketch about this. The first half of the video looks like he’s sucking in his lips and then slowly releasing them. Like, even the facial hair is different in comparison? But whatever.

Totally would recommend watching this guy. He’s super sincere and makes a lot of good looking recipes, whether you are going keto or not. Plus, he is super metal.

Omg I love her!! I have so much respect for her now. Yuri on Ice has giving us a healthy gay couple and even a straight one. She cheers him on while his at his lowest point. J.J has a good woman by his side. She didn’t turn away from him after scoring his lowest score. She stood up for him… and stay by his side

[sarahmina]

I haven’t seen the episode yet, but from what I can take from gifs and photos, I have an even greater appreciation for this anime for showing multiple types of relationships in very real ways. It’s not just fanservice or exposition. There are emotions and deep thought that went into these interactions.

RIP Taylor Swift (2009 - 2016)

Kim Kardashian just exposed Taylor Swift and now her PR-created world is crumbling down around her.

“Yes, poor Taylor Swift is the victim once again. A victim of a “character assassination”.  A character assassination much like when she posted Joe Jonas‘ breakup voicemail on YouTube. A character assassination much like when she described the woman Joe Jonas dated after her, Camille Belle, as “an actress, she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress“. A character assassination much like the time when she publicly dissed Harry Styles – while he was in the audience – in front of millions while accepting a VMA for yet another song she wrote about an ex. A character assassination much like the time she literally called up all her “friends” to make a video dragging Katy Perry. A character assassination much like the time she humiliated Calvin Harris because she got pissy after he denied her involvement in a song (a song she didn’t want anybody to know she co-wrote btw). But not before cheating on him. And you didn’t ask to be part of the narrative? Sorry. Did John Mayer, Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, or Harry Styles ask to be part of your narrative that you used to portray yourself as a victim? No? Then shut the fuck up.”

She’s sued her own fans for making fan art on Etsy. She sued her own fucking guitar teacher for having the audacity to say he taught her. She got a radio DJ fired for allegedly groping her ass, he sued for slander because it wasn’t him (witnesses backed him up), then she counter-sued him into oblivion. She sent a cease and desist letter to a podcast for reciting the lyrics to “Shake It Off”. She tried to trademark a year. When Calvin Harris got a handjob in a Thai massage parlor, she tried to wipe the story off the Internet. When Adele broke her “Bad Blood” Youtube record, Taylor had Tumblr posts removed that made fun of her.

GO. OFF.
