I’m in a rough patch right now. It’s lunch time and this is the longest fast I’ve done in many years.
Keep telling myself that hunger is temporary and will go away - this too shall pass!
Last year I worked on Mother’s Day, and based on that experience, I won’t be working it again this year.
My #1 gripe? Flowers.
Trying to shop for and deliver flowers through a grocery delivery app is brutal. You can never find the exact bouquet the customer wants, you’re messaging back and forth to find the “perfect” replacement, the stores are chaos, and refunding would be bad because sometimes it is very important to the customer so just get something!
Then you get vague delivery instructions, spend time trying to track people down, and half the time there’s no tip, no thank you, nothing.
I am not a florist or a dedicated flower delivery services. It’s a completely different type of pressure than regular grocery shopping. I am opting out.
