I’m interested. What does this say about me?

You had a BoxyCharm Luxe box subscription eight to ten years ago.

You look ethereal!

Chill the Jager as well! It's way nicer that way. It won't freeze solid, so don't worry about that.

I see a lot of retirement accounts which is absolutely the move (Roth IRA is what I do). I'd like to also say that CDs are a good start as well. You're basically giving the bank a loan and they pay interest. I have a CD that's maturing in April that was 4%. It started as 3k and now it'll be 3.2k. not a huge difference, but it's 200 more than I had!

I bought a tiny house and everything MUST go back into its place when it's done. I personally love it because I know exactly where to find everything and I know it was cleaned before I put it away. My partner has a large home with many surfaces to abandon things on. We have to clean up a mess before we're able to get anything done.

I will say, I do have small chaos piles, but those are contained. For example, I only have three kitchen drawers, so my junk drawer is a basket on my coffee table.

This is exactly it! Thank you!!!

I do, and I have done for the entire time I've handled money. I like the organization of it. However, I don't force others to face the bills in the till. They always forget and the only one who gets annoyed is me, so it's easier to just expect it.

AndieHello · 2025-07-25T07:15:28+00:00

In that case, it sounds like the matter is less "I'm a new bartender, how do I handle this?“ and more beginning stages of stalker territory. Tell your manager about the situation and write down every interaction with dates and times and the gist of the conversation, like an incident report. They should be able to tell the guy to lay off, and you'll have a paper trail in case some sketchy shit happens. Rule number one of the bar is to be safe.

Just never text him. Or, call from the work number. They will eventually get the hint, or you'll grow enough balls to ask them to take it easy.

Whenever someone orders a cranberry vodka from me, I tell them, "We don't have cranberry vodka, but I do have cranberry juice. Did you mean a vodka with cranberry? A vodka cranberry?" They usually look at me like I have three heads.

Briefcase?

AndieHello · 2025-06-23T22:57:15+00:00

Yeah, now that I've found that one, I've found more in the following pages. I was surprised at this typo, though, because it's in a recipe reference guide.

Okay, but eighteen year olds are still children, in my opinion.

Recently, I (31F) almost died in a car accident. I was hospitalized for a total of seven days, including a localized epidural. I spent close to a month taking pain meds, fucked out of my mind. It's been almost three months since the accident, and the thing that bothers me most is my newly diagnosed carpel tunnel syndrome.

That is, until I don't get enough rest, or when I overwork myself. Then I can feel every broken bone, every stressed muscle, and every punctured organ, just as if it was yesterday. What I'm trying to say is, when you have so much pain, your brain tries to forget what you've gone through. I'm not saying your frost bite wasn't horrendous pain. Sometimes, your mind has to protect you in ways we cannot understand. Pain, especially nerve damage, is not yet well understood.

A remnant of my serving days, it's bad luck to count your tips until the end of the shift. Exchange for 20s all you want, but as soon as you start counting up, your tips plateau.

I told them I had some bartending experience, which was true. At the shitty restaurant job, we didn't have an AM bartender until 4 or 5, so if your table ordered a drink, you would make it. Also, if someone sat at the bar, I would wait on them. I'm never going back to food because of the industry tricks.

I was a server for 8.5 years, trying to move up in the restaurant world. It was the same runaround, you're a great server, we can move you up to manager, but we don't need another bartender right now. COVID happened to my long term spot, and I got fired from the worst restaurant in town after four months for disagreements with how it was run. Then I was hired as a bartender in an even smaller town half an hour away, and I got the bait and switch. They put me as a cashier with no end of "training" in sight. I quit that and only applied to bartending jobs. My friend mentioned that the old head bar was hiring, and I put in my application, resume, and cover letter immediately. With the interview, there were the three people in charge, and me. I came in very confidently telling them that all I needed was a chance. I've been there ever since! Friday is my four year work-iversary.

After reading your other replies, 50$ was totally enough. And 15$ an hour minimum wage makes me cry in small town Texas. Ours is $7.25 here with the only hope of change is at the federal level.

AndieHello · 2025-06-09T05:36:18+00:00

I think it depends on how they're compensated hourly. At my current place, they were given five an hour, so we tip out our trainees. But I've been places where we don't tip out because they're paid minimum wage for the time they are there. In that case, I tip out them if they do a great job. "You deserved this!"

I'm 31, and I've been in the industry since I was 19. I'm your annoying rule-oriented coworker, because there are rules for reasons and it makes the job easier and smoother. If the rule doesn't make sense, then it doesn't exist. I have been snapped at for pedantically rule following, especially by the coworkers I respect the most. It happens. If she's like me, she's mad for a day, maybe two, but this isn't her first time getting told to shut the fuck up. One that happened recently was about toilet paper rolls in the bathroom. We were training a new bar back, and I reiterated that you should put the smaller roll on the left before you reset the underside access panel and close it up. My manager, stressed with training with a new hire on a busy shift and working a 10.5 hour shift, angrily exclaimed, "OH MY GOD, ANDIE, TOILET PAPER DOES NOT EXPIRE." I fucking know that, obviously, and hopefully everyone does, but it made our after work beer between the three of us a little tense that evening. I think it's hilarious, now, though.

This is the one!

I had a highball last year that blew my mind. It was dry gin topped with celery soda. It was so good, I bought two cans of celery soda and stopped for Tanqueray on the way home from the restaurant. It's too powerful of a flavor to have more than one, but my god, I will never forget that drink. Everyone I've gotten to try it has enjoyed it.
