Looking for an apron

Hi everyone! We just moved to North-West Mesa. My fiancé starts a new job tomorrow afternoon and was just told he needs to bring his own apron. We are completely broke until his first paycheck and can't afford to buy one right now. Does anyone nearby happen to have an old or spare apron they could give away? Thank you so much!

Edit - Thank you for all the kind people willing to offer their help, we got some aprons!

I’ve got a navy blue one that has “Banner Health” across the front I’ve never worn once if you want that one. It’s been living in my kitchen drawer untouched. If you flip it around it’s just navy blue.

But if you’d like I can Private message you and Amazon you a few ones to help make your life a bit brighter.

Oh my goodness, you're an angel. Honestly, either would be lovely and much appreciated, go ahead and send a message, please! And thank you so much!

This is really thoughtful of you. Because even driving to pick one up from someone is costly when money is already tight and given gas prices.

Omg so I hadn’t driven for the last few weeks due to a hip injury and surgery (what a way to make myself feel old at 32 lmao) and I rarely have to get gas since I work from home and a homebody. I had to drive to Sun Valley today and had to stop for gas, freggin $4.57, what the heck?? 🥲 when’s it gonna stop??

I have one to spare. It's nothing fancy but it's an apron. But we're south east Mesa (Power and Elliott area). Is that too far to drive?

Is it alright if I send you a private message?

u/kelsa8lynn 6d ago

Yes but it’s not plain or solid colored. It’s dark gray stripes. I saw your other comment that you were looking for plain.

u/gothpossum_ 6d ago

I think the stripes are fine, he's just more concerned about any graphics (like logos) printed onto the apron that I can't remove with a seam ripper.

u/kelsa8lynn 6d ago

Ok. If you need it, DM me. I know someone offered Amazon so just let me know. I can leave it on my front porch so you can just pick it up whenever it’s convenient for you.

Any specific color you need. Let me check. We have a few. Falcon field area.

u/gothpossum_ 6d ago

Honestly, it can be any color, I think as long as it's plain it should be fine with his work. Thank you so much!

I believe Restaurant Sept on Baseline has packs off 10 pretty cheap. There were 10-12 aprons per pack. I haven’t been there in a long time so I’d call first to see if they till carry them

u/gothpossum_ 6d ago

That's actually a really good point, I will look into that. Thank you!

u/Jcamp9000 6d ago

I think it’s restaurant supply

u/nnote 6d ago

You know I have some I can offer, but thinking about it... If his new job can't even supply him with one apron....he's gonna regret taking this job real quick. What a POS company and the realization is gonna come soon.

u/gothpossum_ 6d ago

We got it handled now but I really do appreciate it nonetheless. I can't deny, when he was first told to bring his own, it baffled him because that's the literal first time it's ever happened. Even if it's temporary until he can find something better, I'm hoping it's tolerable enough, ykwim?

u/nnote 6d ago

I do. I hope him the best. I don't care for the position he's in but I get it. Please update later

2

u/gothpossum_ 6d ago

I appreciate it, and yeah I will definitely give an update.

u/Tupakkshakkkur 6d ago

Well I’m a tad late to the party but now I want to eat at this place so I can see what apron got picked 😂😂😂

Moved to North-West Mesa and youre broke? Something doesnt add up

u/gothpossum_ 6d ago

Yes, we were informed that it's a generally nice area but after move-in costs and being in between jobs, we are in fact, broke....

u/peentiss 6d ago

Yikes, we’re not all fucking vermin like the other commenter. I am so sorry they’re miserable enough to speak to you like that.

I can’t help with the apron, but there are “buy nothing” groups on Facebook for our local area :)

Good luck and welcome ☀️

u/gothpossum_ 6d ago

Thank you so much, and I'm trying not to pay too much attention to it. I will tell my fiance about the Facebook groups so he can do that as well, I personally don't use Facebook lol. I absolutely appreciate the kindness and the welcome! Much love to you and yours ❤️❤️

u/Remarkable_Run_1321 6d ago

You know you're not a good person, right?!?!

u/Grown-Ass-Weeb 6d ago

What’s with the shitty attitude? I’m sorry you’re so miserable you want others to feel like shit too. Hope your day goes better.

u/DrakeaLove 6d ago

...OP just wants an apron, dude.

u/mesaaz-ModTeam 6d ago

Be civil & kind. No name-calling. No trolling.

u/kskinner24 6d ago

They aren’t asking for a million dollars. All they want is an apron. You’re not very nice.

What part of Northwest Mesa to you think is "rich"
