Discussion Has anyone had an experience at Transitions Estate Sales?

18 Upvotes

I attended their sale on Arens Road yesterday, and unfortunately, I left in tears after an extremely uncomfortable interaction with one of the workers.
When I was shopping, a worker kindly offered to start a shelf for me because my arms were full. Nobody had explained that putting items on a shelf meant committing to purchase everything. When I later realized there were a few things I no longer wanted, I offered them to another customer who was looking for them. She confirmed she wanted everything I was giving up and ended up purchasing those items immediately after me.
I apologized when the shelf policy was explained to me, as I genuinely hadn’t known. However, another worker became extremely antagonistic, repeatedly reprimanding me and suggesting I had taken the opportunity away from other customers. I tried to explain the misunderstanding and find a solution, but the interaction went on for what felt like 20 minutes.
For context, the sale had only been open for around 20 minutes, there was still a line stretching down the block, and I purchased nearly $200 worth of items. The only things I didn’t buy were the items the other customer wanted and ultimately purchased.
Several people who witnessed the interaction approached me afterward. They said they hadn’t known about the policy either and felt the worker’s behaviour was out of line.
I completely understand having rules, and I have no issue with being corrected when I’ve misunderstood something. What upset me was being treated so antagonistically despite apologizing and trying to resolve the situation.
I’m not looking to start drama, but the experience has genuinely left me shaken, even the following day. I’m wondering if this was an isolated incident or if others have had similar experiences with this company. I’d appreciate hearing your experiences.

I've posted on the local lost pets page for Regina and am wandering around looking for her right now. Even if it's just a sighting I am desperate to find her.

Question Planning to adopt a dog. Advice?

14 Upvotes

I'm planning to adopt a dog from a shelter and this would be my first time owning one. I really wanted to do this for a long long time and I think this is now the right time to adopt one.

What should I know or prepare for before adopting? What is it really like having a dog and what do you wish you knew as a first time owner?

Any advice on choosing the right dog at a shelter or shelter itself, expenses and daily responsibilities? Please and TIA

Hey, so I moved to Regina about 6 months ago. Hockey is probably my favourite sport now. I’d like to volunteer for a local hockey team. Not bothered what level or even if it’s juniors or adults. I feel like it would be a good way to make new friends who have a similar interest whilst also doing something good. I can’t skate… so the volunteering what need to be none ice related haha. So any suggestion is there any Facebook pages or someone I should contact? Tia.

Community Rant about PC pick up service at the Albert Street location

0 Upvotes

I ordered for pick up at the Superstore Albert Street location yesterday. When I received my order, I was told that some of the items I had purchased were missing. I paid for these items, and I will receive a refund.

However, when I got home I was surprised by how much was missing, almost half my order!

This means I am going to have to go shopping for the items I didn’t receive, which defeats the purpose of placing a pick up order.

My appointment time was 10:00 am to 10:30 am but I did not receive my (partial) items until 10:40 am.

In addition, when I arrived at the Superstore, I had to wait for a spot because delivery drivers were parking in the pick up spots to wait or use the bathroom! 

Just terrible service all around.

Hello. I am working in SHA, but from a different union. I've been trying to apply into Regina. But I am still struggling to even land an interview. I thought applying this time would be easier since I am already in the system. Would it be a high chance to get in if I am referred? Or is it still difficult to get in? And would my Diploma of business administration be able to get me office administrative assistant job, even though they ask for office admin certificate? Thanks.

Discussion Paving patches on Ring Road between Wascana Parkway and Lewan

60 Upvotes

What the heck happened with this paving job? I saw someone on another platform say “it looks like Lightning McQueen’s first attempt at paving Radiator Springs” and that is quite accurate! I hope the City didn’t pay the contractor for such a poor job. It’s so uneven that I’m worried about driving that stretch in the winter, not to mention the risk it poses for high-speed plows.
It was done a few weeks ago and I kept waiting for them to come back and redo it but now I see new lines have been painted.

I caught an edge today going northbound on the inside lane in the SE corner section (was not speeding, just passing a slower vehicle) and it seems dangerous.

We go looking for the promised Bell Fabric AI Data Centre Discovery Centre with Councillor Sarah Turnbull. What mysteries do we find there? (Spoilers: Not much.)

Plus, city council passed the Turnbull/Flores/Radons/Zachidniak motion to get more information about the AI data centre being built in the RM of Sherwood. A couple reps from Bell came out to defend their project so we have a listen to some of what they had to say.

Community Inconsiderate A-Hole in Westerra Fields

39 Upvotes

If you are the guy in Westerra who lets his car sit and screech loud af every other morning between 530-630am, I hope that belt snaps. Get that thing fixed or at the very least hop in and drive it away. This morning you let it sit and warm up for way too long. You live in nice apartments and drive a nice car, it's been around 2 months, at this point It's just negligence. It's extremely inconsiderate to the mass of people that live in the apartments you're parked directly outside of in a parking lot that echoes like all hell.

Question Wait times for ultrasounds

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone, new here.
I had a PET scan back at the end of August. Several areas popped up with concern, including high metabolic uptake in the enlarged lymph nodes in my armpit with skin thickening. Also widespread diffuse high metabolic uptake in my bone marrow. Currently waiting to see a blood specialist for bone marrow biopsy.. my current specialist immediately referred me for an ultrasound on my armpits to confirm findings from pet scan, especially since I now have enlarged lymph nodes in chest and along the cervical chain in my neck. Part of the ultrasound will also look at another area that had high metabolic uptake.

I have never waited more than a week for an ultrasound, and we are now almost 2 months into waiting on an appointment. I’ve checked in to make sure specialist has in fact sent off the referrals for the ultrasound and he has.
Is Regina just that low on ultrasound techs that even in cases like mine, where we need to confirm what the PET scan was showing, they can’t get us in quick enough? We are still trying to figure out if this is cancer or not and until I get these biopsies, we won’t know for sure.

Like I said before, I’ve only ever waited a few days to a week to get in for an ultrasound, so waiting this long for an important scan is getting extremely more frustrating.
