While I appreciate a recognition reward from my company the items that they offer my company are cheap junk that breaks after a few uses. All that hard work for a gift that is incredibly cheap and breaks after a few uses. Way to go Kroger you make me feel soo appreciated. If you don't believe me Google the gifts and start looking at the customer reviews. Most of these gifts are 2.5-3 stars at best. The first 5 year mile stone = $20-$30 items that are total garbage. The 10 yr mile stone $50--$60 where the items are slightly better rated but quality is just as bad as the first one. The 15+ maybe you'll get something that is actually usable and doesn't break after a few uses. I hear the 30 year prizes are wonderful quality. But they do that because of costs. How many employees actually make it past year 10? Not many.

While her quilt blocks are beautiful I found the instructions to be confusing. I tried to assemble one and found it quite challenging because she doesn't use traditional quilting techniques nor traditional block assembly. She uses odd methods of assembling and cutting strips of fabrics that are not economy friendly. Instead of saying make"x" number of flying geese blocks in various block sizes she has you slice and dice various squares, rectangles and triangles until you assemble it. I've done various angled blocks before and she uses an odd way to assemble them that is not economy friendly. I have tried a couple patterns of hers and felt like I over spent on the fabric. I would not deem her projects economy friendly. I severely over purchased the amount of fabric I needed for these projects and felt I could have saved $50-$100. I find my self having a quarter yard, half a yard or more of left over fabric. Now I like quilting but I hate having a scrap pile because I'll never touch it again. I'm probably one of the few quilters that refuse to have a scrap pile. I suggest going home reading the pattern, calculating how much you actually need then go purchase it.

After spending a month or two working on her patterns I am quite pleased with the finished results but I will probably never purchase another one of her patterns again. Two reasons: 1) confusing instructions 2) not economy friendly. While her patterns get very good reviews I would rate her patterns advanced intermediate skill levels. I do thank you for the fun time spend quilting but maybe not again.___________________________

I finally finished this block three months later. Beautiful yes but hell if I'll ever do one again. It is up to the challenger to decide weather or not to make one.

* Her math is not all that accurate. When reviewing her math skills I noticed she made simple calculation errors for basic multiplication problems. I found my self frequently cutting additional blocks because her math was not all that accurate.

* The zero waist flying geese block method would have been more economically friendly. And a lot easier to follow and understand. I had to throw out so much fabric because of the triangles you get when left over. The principle would have been the same in the long run. I could have made a whole baby blanket with how much I threw out.

*I am probably the only quilter out there that hates a scrap pile. I have been collecting a scrap pile for years and threw out a ton of it recently because none of it really clashed for a big enough project and I got tired of hanging onto it. If it's not a quarter yard or more I won't keep it. If it's less than that I toss it and boy did I toss out a lot of triangles, short strips and tiny pieces. If the blocks were cut economically I could of saved some money.

* Pattern is not economy cost effective. When I was finished I threw out a lot of unusable scraps and extra fabric that could have been avoided if she utilized the economy method of these blocks. I felt like I severely over spent on this project. Next time I buy one of these lovely booklets I am taking it home, reading it, calculating how much I truly need then going back to buy the fabric.

* She missed a couple instructions and a lot of instructions were confusing. I am an intermediate quilter and noticed she skipped several steps and anticipated that you sort of already knew the how to's and the basic techniques. She completely missed the steps to cut step for blocks "S" and "T" so when I come to the end to assemble the border I ran short on fabric.

I do enjoy these little patterns I find in quilt stores but buyer be ware: Read the instructions first, fine tune them, double check your measurements then buy the fabric. That's the only thing I wish I did differently. Otherwise the block pattern was beautiful upon completion.

I've been browsing through the dating websites only to realize all they want is your money. What happened to pay for one month time frame? You pay all your months at once and end up paying $200-$500 for a contract that's hit or miss for canceling. I've not had a good experience through online dating. Oh, well back to reality.

I'd love to sign up and unlock the blocked information but I don't have $300+ to unlock it all. They work it down to by the month but when you check out a monthly plan it's more like $300-$500 total. Just for 1-2 years time. Who has that type of money to blow on a website like this? What happened to pay for a three week time frame?

I'd love to meet people, start dating courting what ever it's called now but this website is not affordable to your average working Joe or Jane. I'd rather use my money for two more months of bills. I'll take the chances that I'll meet someone in reality like we use to do before the digital internet enslaved us.

I've been playing this game for a while. The whole objective of the game is wonder, wonder, wonder. More of the story unlocks and unfolds the further you advance into the game. It's focused on mostly animation and lacks a strong quick unfolding story line. Link is all grown up now no older than youth teenager. The story is told through flash backs and unlocking various tasks. I spent 60 hours trying to unlock the first section of the game and got quite frustrated with it due to being ko'd a lot and finding out the weapons break after a few hits. Once I passed that the game started to easily unfold and the rest of the story slowly started to unlock. I suggest following an online game walk through if you want to complete the game in a timely manner. The game it self doesn't really give you a whole lot of how too. Zelda games are generally pretty easy. First Zelda game where I'm periodically dying left and right because the blows are pretty much ko's with the weapons breaking after a few hits. While I enjoy getting lost into a mindless endeavor of video games I'm not really enjoying this new Zelda game. It appears they've done away with the complex dungeons and sub dungeons. Which is what I really enjoyed about the Zelda games and replaced them with preschool level play ground tasks. This Zelda game isn't for me but it was worth purchasing before Nintendo decides to lock it in the vault and discontinue it.

After about two weeks of playing this wondering game I'm done with it. The game is retartedly easy and I've never had a game where I've been ko'd so damn much. It's going in the closet to gain value. I'm so frustrated with being ko'd so much for being caught off guard I'm done with it. A lot of people like it because heck it's Zelda but I can't bring my self to finish this game. It's going in the damn closet.

I tried applying for a job on monster.com and it was to be a work from home data entry job. Turns out it sent me to this website with another name. Next thing I know my email and personal information was given to this place. This place is a scam trying to get personal information. I tried contacting them several times to delete the personal information but had no luck. Thank god I never gave them my personal phone number.

Thank you for your reply owner, but for the past three months immediately after I filed a submission for a job application for online data entry my phone started getting spammed with foreign telemarketers spamming my phone. My voice mail kept filling up with 30-40 second voice mails. I thought it was illegal to leave a voice mail for a telemarketer? I'm frustrated because your company sold my personal info and my phone is being filled up with this annoyance. If you can remove my number from your system I'll reconsider this review.

Good for a throw a way number but I wouldn't rate their services or products with high satisfaction. I purchased a one month phone plan and I can't even log back into my account. I created an account upon check out and it doesn't even recognize my number nor phone even though my service for a month is with them. I don't have high hopes with this company for a long run phone. The cheap phone I have doesn't even allow texting. I've gone through all the settings and still can't get texts to come through.

These phones are cheaply built and generally won't last more than a couple years before you need to replace it. I feel that the whole system of prepaid cheap phones is a scam. You'd be better off going to a phone store and getting a long term contract.

I only have Kaiser because my employer offers it. While it does cover a lot I have mixed reviews about it. I have found if you need to get things diagnosed they'll chase symptoms. I had to go to a chiropractor to figure out what was going on with my back. I've learned they push medicine like a sales gimmick. A lot of it is toxic and I refuse to take any of it. I have mixed reviews regarding Kaiser. I'd recommend them for emergencies not ongoing care.

I tried to sign up for the mental health and well being part of it due to a stressful time in my life and found if I wanted a physical appointment they were booked up three months out. Online chats were booked up 2-4 weeks out. That sort of defeats the purpose if you're trying to work through some stuff.

I enjoy Netflix and having the ability to have thousands of media options available. Price is kept reasonable to the consumer for affordability. This coupled with hulu allow me to forgo cable and is 10 times cheaper and lets me have more to watch. I've never had an issue with customer service and have always found them to be easy to work with. 2019_____________
Add on: I enjoyed Netflix in 2017 and took a leave from it for 2.5 years. I recently reactivated it for 6 months 2020. Several old tv shows that were fan favorites got removed. Main hollywood favorites got replaced with terrible seconds. Netflix doesn't supply full seasons and leaves you missing a season here or there. Watch one show and the algorithm fills up your page with this or that. Watch one cartoon and it fills your page suggestions up with cartoons. I tried to find other stuff to watch under different categories and it wouldn't display anything but children shows.

When did pintrest become a soft porn site? I use to use it all the time and realized the searches were all the same and not rotating random like they use to be. Last year I started getting a ton of porn related searches any where from sexual imagery to penis shaped images and side boob shots and photos highlighting one part of the body more than the other. Good god pintrest have some shame.

While I enjoy free email I do worry about the privacy side. I use to use hotmail email but it had too many issues and too many sites blocked hotmail. I've never had an issue with google mail. No advertisements no monthly payments no unsteady server connections.

We have been a aaa member(s) for years. The road side assist is a bit of a joke. AAA has completely removed any way to contact a real person. They now want you to download an app. Correction, two apps. The first app is their mobile aaa app. When you install that it makes you install a second app that is aaa club. When I try to log into it with my email and pass it says "your account doesn't exist." I'm sorry but if you go to all that work to make an app you'd expect it to recognize your client accounts. When this happens it sends a huge red flag up to me. I'm beginning to wonder if this app was even written by aaa. The second red flag is after I "created" a "new" account on the app server it said my aaa # and account did not exist in their system. That should be a second red flag.

Curse you aaa for making such a useless app. If you even created it and this isn't a third party scamming app. (could be wrong. Never know.)

I have found the app to be garbage. Please just go into your phone browser and go to their website. You can either use mobile view (which is confusing unless you know where things are) or request desktop view. At least you can get through to someone.

We have been sadly blessed with rotten road side luck lately. We've had dead batteries, flat tires and times when we've needed our vehicle towed. It takes like 50+ min to even navigate your way through aaa's slough of a system to attempt to get a real person. If you go down the wrong line you eventually get disconnected. On rare occasion I actually get through to someone they just tell me to use the app then hang up. I repeatedly tell them I do not want to use the app as I've had log-in issues. They have started to harass clients to use the damn "app". I'm sorry but not everyone has the tech skills for that. More than once I've been stranded on the road with my vehicle in the shoulder or parking lot not in safe areas and they told me it would take 2+ hrs just to get someone to you. Many a time I found it faster to just do the research and call legit companies that can get to you faster. If your lucky your insurance policies should be able to cover any damage above $500. If below then just pay for it out of pocket.

I have aaa insurance (Safeco) and I have highly been satisfied with Safeco insurance. They've always honored claims, have extended policies for additional coverge (like flood zones, weather…) home owners insurance honored us when we had some damage caused by a contractor…. Just because the aaa road side assist is horrid don't also assume the other programs are too. I've been a using their insurance for about 10 yrs and have been very satisfied. I've been with other insurance companies that drop you like a rock after you've filed one accident claim. Safeco doesn't do that. Their rates are pretty steady with good coverage. When you ask for a reduction in your rate due to low accidents they honor it and that price holds for a long time.

I would recommend these phones as a short term use phone. I picked one of these up to have a second number so my main one would stop being given out and spammed. I like that you only have to pay as you go. As I'm not that social I can pretty much do everything I need to on wireless. I wouldn't recommend these phones as a heavy phone user. I'm an apple based software user so android is a bit of an adjustment. I do not like that you have to search for every flippen thing just to use it. I have mixed feelings about these and I think I'll continue to use my main phone as my better phone.

I use to use monster.com but found most of the job postings were fake, advertisements and not worth it. I applied for a few local jobs and the postings were incomplete and not to what the job specifications needed. Or I'd go into the interview and realize the interviewee was a total $#*! hole and ruder than rude. I filled out what I thought were a couple job postings but it turns out it was a click ad based ad. How low is monster.com getting to allow members to falsely give out personal information. I would not recommend this website to anyone job hunting.

Been with this company 18 yrs. I am stale mate with my career and the company does not work well with disableds. My disability has caused one too many miss understandings between people. I've been pushed around, denied promotional opportunities, held back intentionally, scolded for being low functioning slow and dim... The list goes on in that fashion. I've had to fight for my union rights time and time again.

I've had to file many union grievances because of my disability and miss understandings. I've also filed several ethics reports as well. Sadly the two of these combined has made me known as a bit of a complainer. Which I think has held me back for going into lead positions that are still within the union. I once kept a department a-float for 2 yrs with no manager. They had three perfectly good candidates. Me, one other who was very good and a new aff hire. Well they chose the new aff hire because she was minimum wage, knew how to kiss aff to the manager and get her way with this charm. She destroyed the department in <6 months. A department I once upon a time had my pride and joy in. Now totally obliterated. I asked to be transferred away 4 months into her reign. Felt so burned by management's decision to go with her instead of one of us was disgusting. Glad they fired her $#*! after that. Then they had the balls to ask me after that and I told them no.

This company could really care less about it's employees. You're either over worked and under paid with 8+ day work weeks with zero down time or proper work life balance. Or you're getting like <15 hrs a week which isn't even livable. Most of my life I've had to do 2 pt jobs to make ends meet because of this b.s. It takes like 3 yrs before you gain any seniority with this company. Don't hold your breath for any career growth. I've played 3 roles while here. I was pretty much a last resort exhausted all other options sort of choice. Which was very discriminating. A repetitive injury from the second position. Even then I had to push with a "I'm disabled dr note." Sadly it had to come to that.

I've had to deal with customer harassment situations time and time again. My last resort at one of my locations ended up with a store transfer. Company chose to support the lying mean little sob and they tried to write me up for it but refused as it was not my fault. For what showing up to work saying hello, ring up order then customers starts screaming and yelling at me for no reason. Yea no not my fault. I wouldn't of minded it but she kept coming back and target harassed me. Started trashing my reputation with lies.

I could say a thing or two about many of the coworkers I work with but I will not. Done that been there and I do not need to do that again. Most of them are wonderful to work with while others are very "trying" at times and abuse the rules left and right. The longer I work with the company the more I see why the "trying" ones do what they do. Eventually you get to the point of not caring.

Overall: I am no longer happy, have faith in this company and feel like I have a future in this company. Due to a miss understanding this year I pretty much burned any chance of being more than the low level jobs. Due to all the garbage you have to deal with in management positions I do not want to be one. Never had one smudge on my record but you finally got me on something. Something I felt was wrong abt. Yea that really makes me want to stay and has reinforced that you do NOT care about your employees. We're just disposable numbers.

The union has It's pros and cons.

Pros: Binding contract of union rights. Set rates of pay. Union protection. Can retain union seniority 2 yrs after quitting date. Will honor time done in similar unions or jobs. And the time in one company will/should transfer to another within ufcw.

Cons: Takes for ever to settle a dispute. Before covid they had tons of union meetings I attended and learned a lot. After covid these have all but dried up. Some reps are flakes while others are really good.

Our power goes out a lot during weather and it's unreliable a lot in our area. Takes a few days to come back up instead of within 24 hours. We're quite conservative on our power and some how our power bill jumped 400% in the last quarterly update. PSE is quite the monopoly. Never had an issue with customer service but a 400% increase in our power bill is ridiculous.

I do not like how they occasionally make new charges to the bill and take us off the budget plan. Instead of paying a traditional lower amount each month it's a whopping 400% higher without warning. So thank you for no changes without warning.

I enjoy zevia drinks. Thank you. I just wish they'd come out with more flavors. The Lemonade isn't all that great as all I really taste is splenda and carbonated water. My local grocery store only sells select flavors and I was wondering how one could order more?

I enjoy using Google but am a bit concerned regarding their privacy policies. I love Google Maps and enjoy how it has changed our lives. Where was this thing 15+ years ago when I started driving? It helped me learn the area well.

Enjoy the show but I can't bring my self back to religion. While it's nice to know Jesus is in my heart I can't bring my self to go back to religion after how its brain washed my family. While it set them on the right path of good moral ethics and values it caused a lot of generational damage both physically but mostly mentally. It did so much damage that the current generation wants nothing to do with religion all together. My family has suffered a lot of physical health issues that otherwise could have been without if they accepted doctors and medicine. We've suffered with these scars for several generations. We've tried prayer healing and never received healing. We've tried everything the bible said and then some and never received our prayer healing. I tried tithing to them and only found that the spam donation letters increased. No way to stop it. I've written to them and asked them to remove me from their system but I still get three to five letters a week from them requesting donations. I tried tithing 10% of my monthly income and found my self strapped for rainy days. Heck I even found my self in a situation where I couldn't pay a bill for the first time ever. While some testimonies state this and that I'm beginning to doubt it all. Jesus does exist don't get me wrong as I've seen him or at least felt him in the same room as me.

As a personal opinion I'm disgusted at how the Christian community supports Trump. It's nauseating and difficult to stomach. How can they support such a child? Do they have blinders on their eyes so thick they can't mentally challenge any thing?

There is no way to remove your self from their mailing list. I've tried contacting all their contacts and they refuse to remove my personal information from their mailing address. Thank you I revive too much spam mail from you guys for a few donations and there is no way to change the address even if you move. I keep getting the reply you need to support god's domain. Thanks for the half assed answer that has no customer service.

I thank this union for being a part of our grocery store chain. They have saved the employer from taking advantage of me several times. I wish I knew about my union rights and winegarten rights sooner than later. There are several times where the union should have stood up for an employee's rights on the spot but they never do unless they get it in writing or have enough complaints about it. There are other times where you try to complain against a coworker who should have been fired six months ago but are still there ten years later. Pulling the same b. S. and lazy attitude towards the job. They can not stand up for you on the spot as an incident occurs but they can certainly be there for you when you challenge the ethicalness of that incident. I do not like how this union is taking advantage of the new hires and screwing them over on every contract.

Who wants to work a holiday without holiday pay and for only a whooping $1.00 an hour extra for the first year?

Who wants to spend 8+ years at a solid 40 hour a week work week trying to earn journeyman pay while spending more than half your career at minimum wage?

Who wants to work a job where your new hires earn the same as your journeyman people? Due to minimum wage being so high?

Who wants to work a job that doesn't guarantee 40 hours a week or heck even 25 hours a week?

Who wants to work a job where it's impossible to get terrible coworkers fired for doing a half assed job for their entire career?

Who wants to work at a company that staffs the bare minimum and have a line of angry customers because the company is only willing to staff one cashier at a regular lane?

Who wants to spend half their life being belittled, scolded, brought down and punished for trying to do a good job?

Who wants to work a pay check job their entire life with no signs of promotional opportunities?
