    Apple Pay

    Apple Pay is more secure than using a regular credit card. If you think you can hide your personal info from those that want it you're mistaken. The only possible way to hide is to pay cash for EVERYTHING, utilities, mortgage, services, groceries, etc. Your info is out there and ripe for the...

    Is this idea brilliant or detrimental?

    When I originally went to Beltone to get my Hearing Aids I had filers/plugs made. These were because of the fans in my work area possibly being too loud. It turns out this ain't the problem. Last night while trying to go to sleep fighting tinnitus I had a brainstorm. I've been having more and...

    I got kinda pissed off at work today

    Thank you for the concern. As a log I have these postings I can pull back up as needed. A transfer is unlikely as there's only so many places to be sent to. Also there is always other ways to be they can get to me. ie: unfinished paperwork, inaccurate counts in computer inventory, missing tags...

    I got kinda pissed off at work today

    Being that it's been the Christmas holiday I never had a chance to finish the conversation with the store manager. He must have said something to her because she's been so sweet that sugar wouldn't melt in her mouth. If there's any one thing upper-management fears at my job it's a HR or...

    Agreed. One must try to take a higher road. Things I might want to do and say I'll bite my tongue on. I do plan on speaking to her boss today with the Union Shop Steward there.

    I got kinda pissed off at work today

    Yeah, I don't see suing really happening on account of 1 inconsiderate woman. If she persists in her manner I WILL take it to her boss and get an apology. She has a reputation and ALL the dept mgrs rag on her behind her back. I just don't want my hearing loss thrown in my face, especially in...

    That is a very slippery slope to tread on. All they would have to do is transfer me to another dept and not the same rate of pay.

    I got kinda pissed off at work today

    They can use the store intercom and it is fine most of the time. If I'm in the cooler or in some other spots in the store I might not hear the page. But that goes for a lot of others as well. If it's urgent a bagger or office person can be sent back to the dept.

    I got kinda pissed off at work today

    Every person that works in the store is quite aware of my hearing problems. They all know that one of my joking sayings is "I bet you think I know what you said". I'll use this when they're either too far from me or not facing me. Then they realize and accommodate me, they're all very nice people.

    I got kinda pissed off at work today

    I've been with the company for 29 years. I was in this store before her. She knows I'm HoH and I have told her on several occasions when you speak to me you need to look at me so I can understand what you're saying. It has never sunk in for her. My store manager is aware of my loss of hearing...

    I got kinda pissed off at work today

    We had our annual X-Mas luncheon at work today. At around noon the assistant store manager pages me over the the store intercom. I answer and she says "I've been paging you, we need you upstairs NOW". I figured it was for lunch and they couldn't start without all the dept mgrs there. When I got...

    Not to hijack "Annoying Hearing People" thread

    As I have mentioned I am new to the forum. I started reading the above mentioned postings and haven't even gotten through 7/11 yet. Some of the stories are hilarious & sad the Christian stories were the saddest. The reason I am posting this is I see a common theme between the stories given and...
