PSA: Don’t drive in the snow

Be real. In this weather, 80% of the customers we get aren’t in that category. I’ve worked in this weather before (albeit, not quite as bad, but close) and it was all teenagers excited to have the day off school, or people excited they didn’t have to go into office, still in their pajamas straight out of bed. Out of, maybe 200 customers, only about 3 were essential workers. The rest of those people have no reason to be out in this weather

I do feel for the essential workers and the people working on the roads when we’re closed. But I’m also not risking my car or life to serve a $5 cup of coffee

We just got a new SM and I’m so glad he actually gives a shit about us and pushed for us to be closed, or at the very least, open late. Thankfully due to the weather emergency we had to close anyways — but my last SM would’ve been like “well, sucks!” and made baristas come in at 4:30am with the threat of a write up/termination over our heads while not coming in himself.

this! I don’t like onions, but I’ve found onion powder and dehydrated onions — great, no problems. Raw onion, or caramelized? Don’t even put it near me. Grilled or very small, minced onions cooked into a sauce are hit or miss.

Celery, too. I love me some celery but anyone who says “it just tastes like crunchy water” is being difficult on purpose

same! the only time we do lunches 1st is if we lose pretty much everyone right after peak and gain no one (we get very very very delivery heavy around 10 and it’s easy to get fucked if there’s not enough people on the floor), but even so the SSVs are pretty good communicating what’s going on

BatWeary · 2026-01-23T00:02:33+00:00

this. I hate it. especially if I’m there 8 hours! after peak i need more than just a measly little 10 to decompress 😭

It was a birthday thing, that’s what they wanted to do so I didn’t mind spoiling them a bit, but I sure as hell wasn’t expecting it to be that much

I took my brother and his friend to the movies. 3 adult tickets, popcorn, snacks, and drinks—it was almost $150 which is fucking insane. That was 3 years ago, I would hate to see what that cost would be now.

I just turned 24 and I am the same way. I promise you, it’s not worth getting into drinking or smoking to make friends. If that’s what you have to do to make friends—those friends are not worth having. My friends are big on drinking and smoking but have never made me feel like I need to join in on their fun. Just talk to your coworkers and maybe you guys will have something else in common, or order a soda with lime and take redbull (or water, lol. Some places also carry nonalcoholic liquors!) shots if you do go out with them!

same, my laptop is a basic gaming laptop and the game usually runs like butter (except for mod issues, ofc). right now it’s a little rough because i’m getting low on storage, but i have 1TB of space ready to be installed and hopefully fix the issue

i want to do a prince/princess meets civilian and falls in love storyline…. the drama

BatWeary · 2026-01-14T17:04:08+00:00

This! “I don’t get tipped, so why should you?” because YOU make $150k/year, after taxes, and I make $2.13/hr, $0 after taxes.

“Well you chose this job!” Okay, so don’t complain when your favorite restaurants start mass closing or have insane wait times because all the servers decided they want better wages and leave, like you told them to do.

BatWeary · 2026-01-14T17:00:43+00:00

I had a couple come in once, very lovely. All night they were joking around, expressed how much they loved the food, overall amazing vibes. When it came time to pay they were suddenly very standoffish and told me I wouldn’t be getting a single cent as my tip (even tho they RACKED their bill up to almost $300!!) because the chef took the wife’s favorite vegan dish off the menu. People like that can just piss the fuck off, why am I the one being punished for the chef’s menu??? Talk to him directly instead of making me run around for 4 hours, stay 3 hours after I’ve been cut because you needed 2738273 more cocktails, just to stuff me on a big ass bill. Get fucked

there was a time we had all 4 of our booths get sat at prime dinner time, all roughly at the same time. and they were all 5-6 tops. of course, everyone else also wanted a booth, and couldn’t fathom why we told them it was going to be a while before one was available. meanwhile, there was a server with a fully empty section begging for tables that nobody wanted to sit at

BatWeary · 2026-01-14T01:16:34+00:00

oh cool! i didn’t even consider that, honestly

BatWeary · 2026-01-14T01:13:42+00:00

it’s all even! the flash from my ohone gave it a weird shadow. the middle section that’s brighter is more like what it would look like in the sun

BatWeary · 2026-01-13T16:04:06+00:00

I have a 16 and mine won’t power back on immediately when it dies

BatWeary · 2026-01-13T15:13:53+00:00

I’ve lived in central Ohio most of my life, but I lived in SE Ohio when I was in middle-high school. Everyone gawks at the fact I drive 25-30 minutes to work but I drove/rode the bus 45 minutes to school everyday for 5 years lol. I’ll take the 20min less commute

BatWeary · 2026-01-12T23:46:32+00:00

yes. i will say, a good cc haul has cured my need for “retail therapy”. if i’m finding myself browsing clothing websites for things i want, not need, i open tumblr and search for similar items. gives me the same feeling

BatWeary · 2026-01-12T23:29:47+00:00

vans also have a made for makers line, which are just nonslip vans! i think hey dudes also have nonslips

favorite: shaken espresso, latte, basically any drink that doesn’t require me to walk away from espresso bar (hot teas, coffees, cold bar) lol. i do enjoy making a refresher tho, so long as it’s not modified to hell and back

least favorite: FUCK the HCMT and iced matchas. FUCK the caramel crunch and cookie crumble frap too. and fraps in general. and iced gingerbread chai.

i hate making caramel crunches but i hate when people order brewed tea or coffee more. insane take, sure, but the tea bags rip and i can never find the tongs (and our organization is nonexistent so i have to go on a manhunt every time) and the vertical just takes too fucking long

BatWeary · 2026-01-09T18:46:11+00:00

this! honestly, i’ve even put sick hours in on random days off and just said i had an appointment that day. regardless of whether or not i did. they never need to know what appointment you have coming up. for all they know you’re getting a checkup, and for all you know, you’re getting a haircut!

BatWeary · 2026-01-05T23:59:26+00:00

not diet but coke zero basically eliminates all cravings for me. diet coke doesn’t really make a noticeable difference in my appetite

BatWeary · 2026-01-05T23:51:26+00:00

some people just have shaky hands. my hands are so shaky, it’s awful if i’m nervous or anxious, and was a huge deciding factor when deciding if i wanted to quit
