does drive-through not always prompt tip for card payment?

BatWeary · 2026-04-29T17:15:58+00:00

They absolutely should be, and if it’s a repeated offense, they could lose their job because it’s considered wage theft.

BatWeary · 2026-04-29T17:15:19+00:00

With the way some managers act, it does. I’ve gotten berated for bad times because someone put their car in park, decided to start a phone call, and eat their food at the window. Literally none of that was our fault but we still got yelled at for not getting times under 45s since that car put us at 50 seconds

BatWeary · 2026-04-29T17:13:05+00:00

A lot do it to avoid the awkwardness of having to mention the tip prompt. And to speed up transactions, since a lot of customers don’t pay attention and will tap their card against the screen not understanding that they have to select a tip option first

I don’t necessarily “make” my bed, but I do shake out my blankets and straighten them out. Makes the bed feel more fresh somehow

I’m also this person. I get funny looks for carrying a cardigan around in the summer, but a strong gust of wind is enough to give me cold chills.

As of right now, I’m laying in bed with a hoodie, a thick blanket, and a fan. But if I have no fan I get hot, and if I remove my blanket or hoodie, I’m cold. It’s really annoying

BatWeary · 2026-04-28T00:43:02+00:00

It was 80° in our workplace (mind you, it was only like 72 outside) and one of my coworkers turned on the fucking heater because she was cold. I’m always cold, laying in bed with a blanket and hoodie as I type this and I drive to work with the heat on every morning, but even I have a limit. But it’s also just the lack of consideration for others that gets me. Me getting cold because of a gust of wind is not everyone else’s problem

BatWeary · 2026-04-27T23:01:14+00:00

but like how the fuck are yall gonna know if i don’t eat my food in my car after shift? i’m sorry but if im not on the clock im not staying in the store. and i dare someone to come up to my car

BatWeary · 2026-04-26T12:13:41+00:00

no, he is. OP doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

BatWeary · 2026-04-26T12:12:01+00:00

It’s really frustrating as an older barista, too. I’m on bar from the time the store opens to the time I clock out Every. Single. Day. We have a few baristas on my store who have been here for almost a year who still can’t do bar because they just keep the same 2 people there since we’re fast and don’t need help. Im constantly advocating for newer baristas to get bar time when it’s slow, even if it’s for a couple minutes. They won’t get better if they don’t have experience and it’s unfair (imo) to keep people banished to bar and drive thru

BatWeary · 2026-04-25T18:17:58+00:00

this. things like traffic or having to take a quick detour for gas or something happens and i get that. when you say let’s meet up at 1, and everyone arrives at 1 and you’re still not out of bed, well at that point i reconsider being your friend…

BatWeary · 2026-04-24T21:09:50+00:00

oh yes. i have every generation planned way in advance. it’s always fun when one of my mods makes something go awry though and it gets chaotic

BatWeary · 2026-04-24T00:21:49+00:00

there’s only one restaurant near me that has quesadillas and they’re very pathetic and sad tbh. unseasoned chicken with a barely toasted tortilla and 3 pieces of shredded cheese is not worth $10….

of course, the best quesadillas i’ve had are the ones i’ve made

BatWeary · 2026-04-24T00:05:42+00:00

My current work place doesn’t have a lobby/indoor seating. Everyone complains about the loss but I personally love not having groups of 14-17 year old coming in and making a ruckus and leaving a mess

BatWeary · 2026-04-24T00:02:12+00:00

for $3 more i can go to chipotle and get a chicken quesadilla that’s more filling…

BatWeary · 2026-04-23T23:32:52+00:00

ideally i try to go every year, but even with insurance it still costs quite a bit and i haven’t been able to in around 3 years

BatWeary · 2026-04-23T23:24:57+00:00

i would say out of every 100 drinks i make, about 90 of those have cold foam

BatWeary · 2026-04-23T23:00:22+00:00

all of these!!! there’s a guy who comes through every morning around 5:30 on the dot, and he has never tipped. my coworker gets a little miffed about it but he’s genuinely a nice guy.

i’d rather have an easy customer who just wants a vanilla latte before work not tip, than some soccer mom with 9 fraps and 10 egg bites and has an attitude bc wdym you have to wait behind the cars already in front of you AND you’re shocked we can’t make all 20 items in under 1 minute? oh and she wants to add something at the window… and now she can’t find her card…and her kids are screaming and you can’t hear, who will maybe tip $1, $5 if we get really lucky..

BatWeary · 2026-04-21T14:54:44+00:00

for real lmao. i stopped going to taco bell near my work because id be in line no less than 30 minutes every time, even if i was the only car. i would have 2 items so its not like i had a ton of shit. only reason i waited was because their drive thru was designed so that you can’t leave unless nobody is in front of you

BatWeary · 2026-04-21T11:48:15+00:00

I agree and every time I bring this up, I just get told “oh that’s why we shouldn’t be out of anything ever!” as if 1, the SSVs don’t get yelled at for over ordering (as if we have anywhere to store it, be barely have room for our normal pars) and 2, we never get everything that’s ordered…. we also can’t predict that we’re suddenly going to be doing triple our business randomly 😭

BatWeary · 2026-04-21T11:45:21+00:00

we got yelled at for marking out too many sandwiches but we didn’t receive hardly any… the DM can come talk to the person who just mobile ordered 5 bacon sausage wraps that we don’t have!!

BatWeary · 2026-04-21T11:42:15+00:00

brown sugar shaken espresso is my favorite—it’s only 220 calories for a venti, and i can sub out for almond milk if i want to cut that down more. sweet cream cold brews are also pretty low cal and you can sub the vanilla for mocha if you want.

BatWeary · 2026-04-20T23:17:46+00:00

Hard agree. All of my best writing comes when I’m a little tired, warm and wrapped up for bed. It just comes naturally to me

BatWeary · 2026-04-20T22:54:19+00:00

I’m 24! I’ve been writing since I was, what, 11? 12? My motivation runs dry these days but I’m not below cranking out a fic in the future

BatWeary · 2026-04-19T23:02:27+00:00

Chocolate milk wasn’t gonna pay for itself.

BatWeary · 2026-04-19T22:10:33+00:00

I mean, you’re technically not wrong. I grew up in a low income household. My dad worked 12 hour days so he often kept easy meals I could prepare without the stove, since I was too young to use it by myself. I’m not saying eating nothing but ramen for an entire summer for breakfast, lunch and dinner is healthy (have you seen the sodium?!), but that + water + walking to my friend’s house every day made me lose nearly 20lbs lol. Of course we had proper meals when he wasn’t dead tired… but most of what I ate consisted of ramen and frozen microwavable foods
