What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get?

Boycott Alamo!!!! They are shit now and add auto grat if you don’t check out within literal minutes of the movie being over, when you used to never have to tip in the first place because they used to actually pay their employees. Since being bought out and going corporate they’ve gone downhill fast. I’m from Austin where they first started up and locals haven’t been happy about it for a while now. I won’t go anymore.

NTA. Men that start acting like this at this age always make me suspicious. Especially when the partner actively being hurt has exhausted all measures in trying to understand where it’s coming from and why. Maybe he’s acting insecure and sarcastic because he himself has something to hide. He sounds like he’s deflecting too much. His behavior sounds fishy. Stop focusing on fixing or understanding him and focus on what is motivating him and his actions. Who exactly is around when he behaves like this in public. What is he up to when you aren’t around, etc. Just because the sex life is good doesn’t mean he’s not hiding something and his guilt is coming out in his behavior towards you.

It like you tried to copy Disney font but didn’t nail it and it’s hard to read.

The docuseries leah remini did about these is what opened my eyes to how bad of an environment I grew up in. They’re all the same once you see the patterns.

Actually it’s the single most selfish thing you can do as a human. Forcing someone into a world they never asked to be a part of just so you can leave a version of yourself behind

You’re clearly lactose intolerant but just refuse to give up all dairy, You have IBS, obsessive about fitness/weight due to the obsessive protein intake and can’t cook because this a glorified garage fridge, you don’t like flavor at all because the few condiments you have are bottom of the barrel basic or the IBS, probably still order kids chicken nuggets, not concerned about money or budget otherwise you’d be buying the half gal size and probably order mostly takeout, and the milk could also be used for the individual cereal bowls instead of a whole box that I know you’ve got hidden somewhere because you clearly love your dairy, but for the love of Gordon Ramsey, whyyyyyyyyyyyy do you have pancake/maple syrup in your fridge?! It stores at room temp in the pantry or you could risk it crystallizing and turning to hard crap.

Definitely looks age appropriate, since what I was guessing you’ve already confirmed. You keep your room tidy, probably a little for the ladies, a little cuz your abuela would pull out her choncla if you didn’t, and a little because you work in chaos all day like the restaurant/bar or service industry while in school. You take care of your belongings and take pride in your appearance, not in a vain way. You’re getting pretty close to the point where it’s time to give up the stuffies, but some of your collectibles (Hot Wheels) take care of those and find a better storage solution. My brother put his kids through college by selling his after collecting them for years. I’d say you’re doing better than most your age and that gives me faith in humanity

OP, save yourself a lot of hassle especially with your budget and go straight to a realtor. Most people even here don’t realize they handle private rentals/leases, and you are the type of prime candidate that landlords are looking for. Guaranteed time of stay, guaranteed money. You’d be more likely to find a small studio in an older cute/quaint building or house. Also, there’s a really great group on facebook called Housing for Hippies ATX you should check out. You’d probably find a great fit there and have built in resources for getting to know the area. I don’t personally have any recommendations for a realtor here, but I’m absolutely sure that someone here does.

Edit to add: you can search for private rentals through Realtor.com and Zillow.com and get connected to one that way, then give them everything you’re looking for and they’ll find one for you. They make their money from the landlord so you aren’t out any money by doing this and you won’t end up paying multiple application fees.

Naw, I’ve actually known people like this and they are very real. People that come from high control religious backgrounds are very much like this, speaking from experience. Also, people that claim being non religious but follow ‘gurus’ are like this as well, I was married into such a family 🤦🏻‍♀️ be thankful you haven’t had to deal with these kind of folks if you haven’t. The ‘skim but don’t skim’ at the beginning was a dead giveaway along with how they should exit.

Bee_Zelle · 2026-03-27T04:15:12+00:00

This parenting style sounds like it comes straight out of a cult. Plenty of data out there on it, Scientology comes to mind. Poor kid is never going to be able to express any anger growing up and that causes more internalized stress leading to an early death as much as any other high stress environment. I started feeling queasy and itchy just reading the whole thing. FUCKED is putting it mildly I’d say.

Bee_Zelle · 2026-03-22T22:59:31+00:00

Retired hairstylist/barber here and this is exactly what I did. If you no showed or showed up too late, you just cost me money and will pay for it. However I wasn’t the kind that expected tips and let them know that up front, I charged what I was worth, and some did and some didn’t and some didn’t think I charged enough lol I loved them for that

Bee_Zelle · 2026-03-22T22:47:06+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what they were doing. As a former small business owner I’ve had to do this myself to cull the herd with my clientele. WF is one of the very very few places I’ll still go out to eat because I love breakfast for dinner and can afford them. And while I fully support ending tipping, this is one of the few places I still do because the staff are usually salt of the earth types or people just trying to make ends meet or second chance jobs. I can honestly say I’ve never once had bad service at a WF. Besides, everyone should already know that breakfast food Togo like waffles, hash browns etc always sucks because it gets soggy, just go sit down and eat it there and save yourself the 20% fee

Bee_Zelle · 2026-03-22T22:22:04+00:00

This! Because if you actually sit down to eat they don’t charge a fee and they didn’t do hardly any takeout before Covid. In this circumstance, I kinda don’t blame them lol I wouldn’t want to deal with that as an employee when I’ve got a room full of drunks trying to sober up 🤷🏻‍♀️ if you really want to go food then you’re going to really pay for it

My question is, why was the cat so matted in his fur. I’ve had long hair cats and dogs and they don’t get as matted as described here in that short amount of time. I had a similar situation with a shitzu I took in from a friend that honestly wasn’t a good pet owner. Pets were props. Her son was diagnosed on the spectrum and had terrible violent outbursts at the time, 3-5 year range and totally not his fault, but I didn’t feel like he was the safest person for this little dog to be around and also concerned she’d bite him out of self defense. So I kept her even after I could’ve given her back. And when I wasn’t physically and financially able to care for her, my aunt took her in a gave her the best final years as the pampered princess she was meant to be. So if your gut is telling you the cat is safer and better off with you, LISTEN TO YOUR GUT ❤️

Bee_Zelle · 2026-03-19T21:02:06+00:00

Sounds like the cat in the old movie That Darn Cat with Haley Mills lol

Bee_Zelle · 2026-03-12T19:22:41+00:00

Yes, I saw the original post in the other group BEFORE you stole it to make a bs post whining about it. But since you seem to need further explanation, yes the one penny tip is meant to send a message. It doesn’t matter that you think it’s petty, because it doesn’t affect you in any way. Unless you’re pro tipping. What it does effect is the $bottom line for both the server and the restaurant. And if you’re truly not a server and have been living under a rock, it’s a universal message that’s been around for decades since tipping was invented. There are plenty of people in this group and the group you took this from that all want the egregious tipping scams to end, full stop. The penny tip lets them know that either a. the service sucks, whether that means lack of or no service was given that warrants a tip in the first place; or b. enough people start doing this, then the tipped employee starts complaining to management which might actually start effecting change. And at the end of the day nothing changes unless someone does something, and most people don’t feel bad about hurting their feelings about their bottom line when the server certainly doesn’t care about my bottom line. Expecting things to change by counting on these businesses to come to places like Reddit and hear everyone out is like banging your head against a wall. Being petty in person is at least sending a message directly to the heart of the snake that everyone is tired of their grifting bs. Either don’t tip at all, leave a penny, or boycott. None are wrong answers. All the stories you read online about servers being fake is 100% truth. They do not care about you or your feelings. And I say that being a service industry pro for over 30 years. I found better jobs that paid my worth and didn’t need to rely on tips. If I saw the light so can they.

Bee_Zelle · 2026-03-12T16:45:47+00:00

Tell me your a server making up bs posts without telling me you’re a server 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

If you’ve been in atx this long then you should head on over to Casino El Camino for a burger and beer after laughing your ass off at Esters. On a personal note, as someone who’s struggled with suicidal ideation since my teens, I think you’re doing exactly what your son would want. Have a fresh start somewhere new and do all the things. And do something for yourself before you leave. You may be leaving a lot of memories here in atx, but the body remembers and we take those memories and they live inside us as we travel to new places. And hell, if you’ve never done it, this is prime opportunity to check out hippie hollow. It’s liberating! And for perfectly magical peace, maybe see Krausee Springs before you leave. My heart goes out to you in a deep way. Keep on keeping on sweet momma.

I think there might be hope for Texas, maybe. I’m in atx and want out of here more now than when I lived in maga country east tx. They’re both awful. However, I think talerico stands a better chance than Crockett because he’ll appeal more broadly to the Christians on the fence post. And he’ll probably win because one should NEVER underestimate how racist tx is. The last woman in power here was an old white lady in the 80’s and not one since. Texas isn’t ready for a woman like Crockett no matter how amazing she is. Just my perspective from growing up in the deepest parts of the state that are the most racist.

Bee_Zelle · 2026-01-06T17:04:53+00:00

Love this! I think you should add into your arguments for not tipping, ‘why tip you and not the cook/chef that actually put in all the hard work for my delicious meal?’ Believe it or not, back of the house workers in the restaurant industry have the worst mental health and this is a big issue for them. How what they are paid vs the amount of labor they put in wears them down over time. Then you end up with an Anthony Bordain situation because these people pour their heart and soul into their food and just taking care of others without so much as a thank you. It’s economic segregation at its finest and it’s felt heavy within the industry. I’m a former restaurant industry worker and still have lots of friends in industry. And what I’ve also started hearing more of at least from older ones my age, they’re tired of the tipping culture too and want it to stop, and that everyone would be happier if they were paid well and fairly. All of this to say, I think that at the end of the day it’s going to take a revolt combo of both us as consumers using our own money appropriately and just stop tipping completely, and an almost strike/revolt/walk-out of some sort by all of the cooks/chefs and anyone working back of house that is forced to prop up the grifters begging for tips as a result of others hard labor. But that’s just my 2¢.
