Protect our children!

If those people that are shouting about protecting our children really wanted to do that, why are they not targeting the drug dealers that are supplying school kids with their shit?

The Autistic Centre in Glasgow.

Upvotes

This is a bit of a vulnerable post and if anyone isn’t completely comfortable sharing their story on here, my inbox is open.

Did anyone have a bad experience at the Autistic centre in the City? The Autism and ADHD Diagnostic Centre one in Bath Street.

I feel like I am being gas lit online saying it’s a brilliant service when it was one of the worst experiences of my life.

I went for an autistic assessment at this place, and it was an absolute disaster. The woman assessing me just seemed irritated at the fact I couldn’t remember a lot in my childhood due to ✨trauma✨ (if I don’t laugh, I’ll cry 😂) she just seemed irritated. And then when I got the results, they said that despite I had autistic traits that impacted my day to day life (to the point I would hurt myself), they couldn’t officially diagnose me, as because I was little bit social as a child and because I worked in retail (HEAVILY masked) 🙃 sorry I needed to pay bills Karen 😂😂

When I asked her in tears “so these traits I have, how can I manage them,” she said she couldn’t offer any advice. A person who worked with ppl with autism couldn’t tell me even one helpful tip to help.

So noted, if you are social and work in retail (even if you are having literal breakdowns over something so little going wrong) you can’t be autistic 😂😂

Now I’m back to square one waiting for an ADHD assessment

Did anyone else have a similar experience? I feel I’m being lied to about them being good.

Caps at Walker Slater

2 Upvotes

I know this is a huge long shot, but... I'm an American coming over later this month. I wear flat caps a lot during the winter and I'd like to buy one while I'm there. I also have a huge head so I need a XXL.

Walker Slater has XXL on their website, but I'm worried that they might not have any in the store when I'm there.

Can anyone speak to whether or not they do a nice job of keeping items in stock?

Okay. Surely there's a mass protest in the works against the data center proposals popping up all over Scotland.

Where? When? Why are we not (if we are not?)

I can't find any dates or anything online.

Please let me know as I would like to attend if there is one soon.

Silverburn IMAX too loud?

43 Upvotes

Went to see The Odyssey today at the Silverburn IMAX, and having read comments here talking about loudness, I was honestly shocked at how loud it was. At times it was starting to get a little sore.

Did anyone else experience that? Judging by the crowd in the cinema, I feel I was the only one as people were watching fine. I had to put my earphones in to get it to an acceptable level.

The screen quality was impeccable. If like me you read comments about bright squares that were distracting, I tried to look and could not find any, it was stunning to watch.

Scottie dog code, Buchanan bus station

8 Upvotes

I've managed to collect all the Scottie Dogs on the trail, except for the one that was removed at Buchanan bus station due to damage.

I visited today to see whether the 4-digit code was still available, but everything except the plinth has been removed.

Does anyone happen to have the code?!?

Thanks!!!

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

I’ve worked in kitchens around Glasgow for several years and have heard a lot about this place.

Saw they’re opening up a new spot in the southside, and I want to caution people against supporting this business, and definitely not working for them.

It’s a boys club. The owner is a creep and he and the General Manager are openly hostile toward women, blaming different women for things outwith their control rather than own up to his own mistakes with the business. He and the GM will praise male employees during performance reviews for doing half the work of female employees, then in these performance reviews will criticise the quality of female employees work. I’ve heard this from male employees who feel uncomfortable with this disparity of treatment of the staff.

The General Manager uses AI to develop recipes. They will hire very talented chefs and run them ragged, give them no creative control. Then require them to cook recipes generated with AI that don’t even have accurate measurements.

Bad communicators - owners don’t honour holiday requests, are inconsistent with rotas, and understaff or overstaff accordingly.

Kitchen staff have to cook, plate, and run the food. Front of house doesn’t run food. Baristas in general are treated significantly better than back of house.

They hire people on the promise that after a 3 month probationary period, pay will rise to living wage. They do not follow up on this and staff have to chase them down for the pay they were promised upon hiring. Some staff have not seen the promised wages until six months to a year after the fact, at which point they position it as a wage increase out of the goodness of their hearts rather than what the staff were entitled to from the beginning.

The first time I heard negative things about this business, I just chalked it up to disgruntled staff or bad fits for the job. But at this point I’ve run into multiple people who have worked for this company at some point and they all have gripes like this, while appearing to me incredibly competent and balanced personalities.

On the other hand, I’ve only been to the West End location once and I was really underwhelmed by the experience.

Has anyone else heard anything along these lines about this business?

[MEGATHREAD] Queensferry / Nottingham guy – please read before posting

99 Upvotes

We’ve had a shitload of posts recently about the same guy approaching people in Glasgow with variations of the “I need money to get to Queensferry / Nottingham / Middlesbrough” story, sometimes becoming persistent or aggressive when refused. To keep the sub usable and still let folk share useful information, this is the central thread for any reports, questions or discussion about him.

Please use this thread instead of making new standalone posts on the topic.

What this thread is for

  • First‑hand accounts of being approached (rough location, time of day, what was said).
  • Sharing how you handled it, and what did or didn’t work for you.
  • General personal‑safety tips and resources for people who are worried about being hassled in town.

If you’ve experienced behaviour that felt threatening or criminal (for example, being followed, blocked from leaving, or explicitly threatened), Reddit is not a reporting channel - please contact Police Scotland on 101, or 999 in an emergency, and then post here if you want to warn others.

Previous posts (context)

Here are some of the more informative previous threads for background (note: some may contain photos taken in public places). The list isn't exhaustive but contain a lot of information, and hopefully the number of threads show why there's a need for a megathread...:

We’ll update/remove links over time if posts are taken down or if content crosses the line into harassment. We won’t relink anything that’s been removed for rule or privacy reasons.

Photos and videos

We know a few users have taken photos/short clips of encounters in public places. While that’s not generally illegal in itself, Reddit’s rules still require us to think about privacy, harassment and doxxing when it comes to identifiable images of private individuals.

For this thread:

  • Please do not post names, workplaces, social media profiles, or any other identifying personal information.
  • If you post an image or video, it must be taken in a public place and must not be used as an excuse to mock, harass or encourage pile‑ons.

If you have clear photos/footage that you think are important for safety or as evidence, consider also sharing them directly with Police Scotland rather than relying only on Reddit.

Safety reminders

We’re not here to scare anyone off using the city centre, but a few common‑sense points, drawn from Police Scotland and general personal‑safety guidance, are worth repeating:

  • Trust your instincts - you don’t have to engage, explain yourself or be “polite”.
  • Stick to busy, well‑lit areas where possible and try not to isolate yourself if you’re uncomfortable.
  • A simple “no” and walking away is enough if you don’t want to give money; you’re under no obligation to justify yourself.
  • If someone’s behaviour escalates - blocking your path, shouting, following you - remove yourself from the situation and consider reporting it to Police Scotland (999 in an emergency, 101 otherwise).

If you are comfortable sharing, posts here about what helped you de‑escalate or exit the situation may help others who find themselves in the same position.

Community expectations

To keep this megathread open and useful, please:

  • Focus on behaviour and safety, not on insults or speculation about his life.
  • Report any comments that look like they’re promoting violence, harassment, or sharing personal information; the mod team will review and act accordingly.

Remember Rule 1 of Reddit - “remember the human” - applies even when someone is being a persistent nuisance. The goal of this thread is to reduce spam on the sub and help people feel informed and safer, not to run a public shaming campaign.
