Mystery I just want to know why CPS punishes residents

39 Upvotes

Why does CPS give precedence to data centers, business parks, and other commercial entities when it comes to energy saving and thermostat control.

Do they actually think that anyone is comfortable in a 78 degree home? When data centers keep their building chilled to 68

Moving to SA A whole family with preteen kids panhandling in my apartment complex?

Upvotes

Has anyone ever had this happen?

There were like 4 kids, preteen age and a little younger, wth 1 adult present walking around the complex ringing doorbells and approaching people for money

I didn’t give any and I felt bad but I wasn’t sure if that was really the right thing to do and i was on the phone and honestly I was just kind of taken aback

I know times are tough but I’ve never had that happen, this was the northwest side.

Where in SA? Looking for a job around the Southside in that triangle between Pleasanton and Roosevelt,and idk what I'm doing so wrong that makes it so damn hard, I just need advice

24 Upvotes

I got fired from TJ Maxx warehouse around April I think, and I've been out trying to find any job since and can't get nothing. Not really here looking for people to tell me where to apply but that could work too, I'm mostly just trying to figure out exactly what is wrong with how I'm doing it. So for starters, I do understand why it would be hard for me to even get a job already.

For one, I don't know how to drive, and rely on the busses to get around It's actually the reason I got fired from TJ Maxx I think cause I relied on Ubers to take me since I went to work too early for the bus to operate. But that shouldn't be a problem cause I've been applying to a bunch of places on Military drive, and all in between flores and Pleasanton, I really don't need a car to get around, if even just a bus.

So if it isn't that maybe it's my experience. I have tried going back into warehouse jobs cause I am used to it since I used to work a day for a days pay anywhere where my dad worked if they needed the hands, mostly at tire warehouses. But I spent only a year at an actual tire warehouse full employed, and before that I worked maybe 6 or less months at Griff's. I know the whole need experience to get experience, but I also don't think it's this issue either sometimes. I've applied to fast food places and as a busser at a few regular restaurants. I've applied to HEB, Walmart, and a bunch of stores and corner stores, I really don't think you need experience for all that. Hell I've applied to small ass stores like Laundromats and smoke shops and stuff. If it really was the experience I needed, why is it I need experience for entry level jobs?

Alright so maybe it's something I'm saying during interviews? This has to be it right? To preface this, I am autistic, heavily on the antisocial side, where I don't really get how people convey themselves to others and connect if you know what I mean. But I mask pretty well. I'm polite, I dress as nice as I can, I keep the fidgeting down to a complete minimum, and everything always seems to go well once I'm done with an interview, they'll call me sometime in the week. But they never call back. I sometimes call, although I always feel awkward doing it like I'm harassing them, but everyone around me tells me to call them to confirm so I do, maybe that weirds the employers out.

I'm just tired, giving up on life at this point, and I would literally rather die than end up homeless. I'm 21 already, graduated high school 3 years ago, and I still don't even know how to act like an adult, and all the adults around me are like figure it out, you should already know these things, you shouldn't need help. But I do need help. I desperately need help, at least someone in my corner telling me what I did wrong, what I should be doing, how I should be acting, and just helping me make it as easy for me as they say it is for them to just function as a human being.

Yeah I'm sorry for all of this pretty much venting, I'm mostly just here for advice on what I should be doing in order to actually land a job without screwing it up, and I know the job market is tough right now, and everyone is trying to get in, but even if nobody answers here I'll figure it out and hopefully end up finally being employed.

Where in SA? Coffee shops with best espresso or drip?

8 Upvotes

Looking for local coffee shops with good balanced espresso and drip beans. I don't care for sweet coffee or flavored drinks. I mostly enjoy drip, hot americanos, cortados, lattes, and capps. So far, the best shop l've been to in this area is Johnson City Coffee. I love their espresso, it's so balanced with a nutty molasses flavor. It's the I best coffee I think l've ever had.

A few shops in town that I've also enjoyed have been Mas Cafe, What's Brewing, and The Cracked Mug. But I've had a whole lot of awful sour, battery acid coffees as well. And I'm pretty sure there's a few shops that do instant espresso 🥹.

Most of the reviews or recs I come across have been for more of the flavored sweet coffees, so if anyone has any favorites, I'm all ears!

Where in SA? anyone willing to refer someone for an entry level job?

45 Upvotes

I'm 18 and trying desperately to get any type of job right now lmao. I've been applying to a bunch of places on my own this last month, but I feel like everyone I know found their first jobs through friends, family, or referrals, and I unfortunately don't have much of a local network to rely on. I moved here last year and I was homeschooled.

I have the money to buy a car in cash rn because I did office work at my parents' company for 3 years but they're not letting me buy one until I have a job somewhere. Really trying to expedite things so I can move out as my home situation is pretty terrible. Even a part-time would increase my quality of life by a lot

I'm open to a lot, retail, server work, fast food, grocery, bookstores, cafes, customer service, administrative work, front desk, etc would all be amazing

If you work somewhere that's hiring entry-level employees and you'd be comfortable referring someone, I'd really appreciate it. Even just pointing me toward a place that's hiring or letting me know who to contact would be incredibly helpful.

I know this is a little unconventional or weird but I'm trying to put myself out there and figured there's no harm in asking. Thanks!

Where in SA? Where to buy large volume corn or glucose syrup locally?

0 Upvotes

Hey gang! I'm trying to find a place locally to find large volumes of corn syrup or glucose syrup for candy making. Every restaurant supply place I've searched in the city only seems to carry either hardware, or just snow cone syrup. Because of the weight, paying shipping on these things SUCKS, lol. Thanks in advance for any input!
