GAP Locations

Growing economic problems are increasingly impacting Russians' standard of living. Over the past two years, the proportion of families forced to forego basic purchases and habitual spending has increased, according to Rosstat's Sample Survey of the Quality and Availability of Services, which was highlighted by the "If byt' Precise" project. The survey is conducted every two years and includes 48,000 households from all regions. In 2025, 48.3% of families said they could not afford a vacation at least once a year due to lack of money. In 2023, this figure was 40.5%. 45.6% of families are currently unable to replace worn-out furniture, compared to 40.6% two years ag...

A few weeks ago I attended a small cultural event and noticed a woman wearing a long Ankara dress with bold patterns and flowing fabric. At first I thought it might be hard to manage but as she moved the dress looked elegant and comfortable. That moment made me realize how design and fabric choices can make traditional clothing both stylish and practical. Later while just casually scrolling online marketplaces including alibaba I noticed long Ankara dresses in many variations. Some had fitted tops with flared bottoms. Others were loose and flowing with intricate prints. Fabric quality, stitching,l and pattern placement varied a lot. It seemed buyers are looking not just for colors but for c...

where can I buy ts bc I’ve been looking around and I’ve heard people say im never gonna find it because it was in the 90’s and yes ik it was but I jst want the clothes man(I don’t live in a country where thrifting is normal so there aren’t any thrift stores in my area so idk what to do it’s very rare to find them I jst wanna know if any stores still have these clothes??)

We cook a lot and our house, our clothes, everything smells like food pretty much all the time. I'm trying to figure out which option will look best. I haven't decided on a budget yet but I'm hoping to spend $1500 or less. I have an HVAC background so electrical, ducting, roof vent, make up air, etc can all be done easily without hiring anyone. Most of the materials I'll be able to get from work at no cost. Also if I don't have a tool to do something I probably know someone that does that could lend it to me. I'd like to make sure whichever hood I get its fairly quiet and CFM of 500 or more **ISSUES** \-The wall behind the kitchen leads to another...

For those who built a branded clothing store: how did you approach suppliers in the beginning? Did you just message them directly on Alibaba/CJ, or did you prepare a proper brand presentation first? And what actually worked to get better MOQs or pricing?” Since I'm just getting started. Any tips would be really appreciated!

Hey guys! I am opening a Buy/Sell/Trade clothing store in a few months and am having a hard time finding a POS that will work. There are several build for Consignment, but none seem to be able to work for Buy/Sell/Trade. The specific issues are that Cash and Trade amounts differ for payouts, and sellers need to be able to split their payout between cash and trade. Any specific products that we should check out? Or developers with a product that we can check out? Thanks!

Music has always played a special role in bringing people together, and nowhere is this more visible than at kids and family events. Whether it is a birthday party, a school function, a holiday gathering, or a casual weekend get together, singing along to favorite songs creates energy, laughter, and shared memories. While playlists and streaming apps are popular, song books continue to be an incredibly valuable tool for making these moments more interactive and enjoyable. Song books for kids and family events are more than just collections of lyrics. They act as engagement drivers, entertainment guides, and even educational resources. A thoughtfully designed song book can transform a simple...

I was at the grocery store yesterday when I saw a whole family in pyjamas. They looked like bums. Since when did it become acceptable to go out in those clothes in public? You look at picture of the 1950s and everyone was impeccably dressed. I am not advocating for the need to wear 3 piece suits everywhere; but **** is a shirt or polo and pants too much to ask for? You can buy nice ones at the thrift store so it isn’t a cost thing. Sweatpants, leggings etc… are for home or the gym not in public. Europeans really put us North Americans to shame. Our lack of standards is disgraceful; people don’t seem to care anymore. Where is our pride in our appearance? Putting one’s best foot fo...

In the last few years, there has increasingly been youtube professionals popping up. These can be medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, PhDs in random fields, etc... who make videos about mental health. Unfortunately, I find that the majority tend to spread misinformation. Even the ones who spread reasonable information tend to first focus on how to make more money off youtube, and helping people second. They make me disgusted with their clickbait and pop psychology content like "3 SURETELL SIGNS OF A NARCISSIST BY DR. DRDOCTOR CERTIFIED". while they make a strange looking shocked facial expression and point to the text with their finger. And for some re...

Hanna Andersson is where it’s at if you want kids’ clothes that survive more than a few washes. Yeah, they cost more upfront, but the cotton stays soft, the stitching is tight, and pieces often last through multiple kids. Gap Kids is solid too for everyday basics—less fancy, but washes well and won’t fall apart after a few wears. If you’re open to secondhand, thrift stores and local consignment shops are gold mines. LL Bean, Baby Boden, OshKosh, and even Carter’s show up for next to nothing and often look nearly new. I’ve seen kids’ pants and jackets survive enough to hand down three or four times. The trick is avoiding stuff that’s paper-thin or made to just survive a sea...

For context I’m female, unmarried, unemployed based in the US. My entire life I’ve had all the basics Alhamdulillah. But I would always struggle with my parents. Now I’m doubting myself if I’m the issue. I’m gonna try and make this very short but I was a short and skinny child and due to this my mother always made me wear multiple clothes so I’d appear fatter and micromanaged my food so much I started developing body image problems and started stuffing myself which led me to severe gastrointestinal issues and had to be taken to the doctor multiple times. Now I’m of average weight but to this day if I’m even being offered food by my mother I lose my appetite and eat very l...

We recently shared a case study on how Manna Inc., a multi-brand quick-service restaurant operator, uses video and POS data to reduce restaurant loss, manage legal risk, and improve day-to-day operations across hundreds of locations. Thought this community might find the approach useful. # Who is Manna Inc. and what problem were they dealing with? Manna Inc. operates hundreds of quick-service restaurant locations across multiple brands. As the business scaled, a few issues became harder to manage: * Frequent lawsuits that required access to months (or years) of video * Fraud tied to refunds, voids, and unauthorized transactions * Limited visibility into POS activity across franchise and i...

I was the company commander of Third Armor, Ninth Cohort, Expeditionary Group Halcyon. I had been in cities before, but this one was different, because it had already been chewed up by three armies, and then abandoned. The streets were not streets anymore. They were lanes of broken stone, and twisted metal, filled with dust, that clung to seals, and optics. Human buildings were made to hold up under weather, and age, not sustained bombardment, so they failed in ways that made every approach uncertain. Floors fell into basements. Stairwells became shafts. Walls leaned, and waited, for a touch. We were ordered to clear a kill box, that our division had sealed, from the rest of the city. Two b...

Why I Unsubscribed from ChatGPT I want to explain why I unsubscribed from ChatGPT. There are a number of reasons. All of these reasons show how someone with a disability could end up having a serious problem with the company at large. Problem one: I have a disability, and as a person with a disability, I also have a speech impairment. That means I sometimes do not pronounce my words clearly. About 94 to 95% of the time, ChatGPT gets it almost right. But there are times when it goes completely wrong about what I am saying. Whatever is in the system is not content-aware. If I am talking about a movie, music, an artist, or anything specific, it does not focus in on that subject. If it does n...

Last year I opened a store with vintage, streetwear and high-end: clothing, accessories, collectibles, sneakers and more. I've been working on it by myself for the last 11 months. I would love to know what you think about it. Planning on opening a real location this year. Here's the link if you're interested: [https://unico13.com/](https://unico13.com/)

Hi everyone! I am going to shop for my wedding from Jaipur and have gone through multiple posts in this sub from the past. Can anyone please recommend places/stores where you believe I can get a reception lehenga under 30k budget and a phera saree for under 20k budget. I know this is too specific of a price range however I am open to exceeding this depending on the clothes. I am also looking to get blouses and other clothes stitched and therefore would love recommendations for tailors/boutiques doing the same. Thanks a lot in advance.
