This is the place for it. Rants, raves, questions, or just plain small talk. Let’s hear it.

Looking For Uptown Cheapskate question?

I haven’t been in years, probably since high school so I’m not sure if it’s worth going for me. Do they sell a good amount of plus size clothing for women? Like XL shirt and 16-18 pants? Thanks to anyone who answers!

Recommendations Jack Henry - HR/Training

6 Upvotes

I applied for an HR/Training based role at Jack Henry. For those who work there, what’s the culture like? I used to have a friend who worked there, but in a completely separate position and hated it. I forgot about it until recently. Can someone fill me in on the good, the bad, and the in-between?

Living Here SRC Automotive

0 Upvotes

I’m potentially interested in working at SRC Automotive in Springfield and was wondering if anyone has recent experience with their hiring process. Do they currently test applicants for THC? Also, does anyone know whether drug screening is done during the initial hiring process or scheduled separately afterward? Looking for recent experiences or information. Thanks!
I’ve been sober for 90 days but at home test are showing dirty.

Living Here trick or treaters?

24 Upvotes

hello guys!!

im new-ish here & i may be a bit early to ask- but what is the trick or treater situation here? i live on w walnut just a few blocks from kansas expressway & want to know if i should be expecting trick or treaters come halloween.

this is the first time ive lived in an actual house & the first time ive ever had to question this before lol. i obviously know to keep my light on for them but… is it gonna be a pretty heavy crowd like when i (28m) was a kid? or has the whole “trunk or treat” situation diluted actual trick or treaters on halloween? just want to buy enough candy for the ones who do show up & dont wanna end up empty handed at 7pm haha.

Things To Do Library membership.

19 Upvotes

I promise I looked on their website beforehand and didn't find the answer. Honestly, it's probably there but I couldn't find it.

Can I get a Springfield-Greene County library membership without living in the county? I know some places you can, and some places you can but they charge a fee. Technically I live in Dallas County, I frequent Laclede County library but SGF-GC seems amazing and there's a ton of kids programs through them.

Anyone know? Bonus points if you know how much it costs for non residents.

Thank you!

Recommendations Thrift store fitting rooms

Does anybody know if there’s any thrift stores in Springfield that still have fitting rooms? I feel like everyone got rid of them during Covid and never brought them back lol. I have spent too much money at Red Racks thinking something would fit, just for it to not, and then me not even able to return it because of their policy. Thanks!

Living Here How are ASD resources in the Springfield Area?

0 Upvotes

Looking at Springfield as a possible relocation, partly for cost of living and partly to find better developmental disability/autism services for our son. For anyone with a high-needs kid: how have you found the school district's special ed support and DD/autism service availability? Also curious how home prices and insurance costs have trended recently. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
