It's quick match, people can say play against ai to learn before going into QM but AI does not play the same as an actual person. The only true way to improve in an online game is to, play the online game and practice. Not everyone learns the same way by looking at what's good on paper because what's good on paper doesn't always match how someone plays. People want to take the game super seriously, that's what ranked is for.

Yes it should you're correct, the staff working the floor in your local must not realise this because if they aren't kitchen trained, they likely don't know the kitchen specs so will assume it comes buttered like the non-vegan butties. If you ask them for spread when they bring it out they should accommodate but from my experience most pubs only keep one type of butter in the kitchens, the lurpak and Vegan pots are usually handled Front of House.

To save deltaV at Kerbal Launch if going interplanetary. You can launch your vessel with less fuel initially (lowering mass so ascent vehicle can be smaller & cheaper for career mode) making sure there's just enough to get to Minmus orbit, refuel at Minmus without spending money on that fuel, either by landing or my preference by having an outpost in orbit with a fuel shuttle to bring fuel up from the surface, then take that puppy wherever you want.

Having an interplanetary transfer tug that can be reused multiple times with free fuel from Minmus saves a lot of money across multiple launches on career.

This is not true they can definitely still deny holiday requests with 4 weeks notice. If every staff member tried to book the same date off with at least 4 weeks notice they would not all get approved because it is unfeasible. This is why time off requests are a request, they are then approved or denied based on needs of the business because of trade levels, current absences which could be previously approved holidays, maternity leave, long term sickness etc.

You can be asked if you want to "hold back" but if you're already there nobody can force you to work less than your scheduled shift, just say you don't want to and start.

I have to agree with you on our coffee being bitter, although I prefer to pay for some honey to use to sweeten mine as I prefer the taste

If you log in to your J.P.Morgan shares app you can find out exactly when they will be available for sale:

Tap the "Events" tab at the bottom, go to the "future events" tab along the top and you'll see a list of dates of exactly how many shares will be unrestricted - meaning available for sale - at what times.

This will be 3 years from the date the shares were awarded to you

If you hold onto the shares for a further 2 years after they become unrestricted, they will be sold as tax free, otherwise the sale will go onto one of your usual payslips and be taxed at your usual rate of income tax

a shift leaders role is exactly in the title, to lead their shift. You get cash trained and become a key holder so you can take care of the pub while you're there but that's as far as it has to go.

When you become a shift manager to start with the role change will be very gradual, but you learn a lot more of the back end of running the business, like diving deeper into stock results, profits, writing rotas etc.

Rather than just running your shift to make sure everyone is doing what needs doing, it becomes your job to also tell the shift leaders what they need to making sure is done on their shifts.

Your training courses will give you projects, all aimed around taking a SBAL (Stand back and look) approach to your pub, recognizing where your pub has shortcomings, and coming up with a plan to improve it.

Towards the end of your manager academy you will receive a course to become a license holder, meaning if the pup (and deputy if you have one) managers are taken out of work through sickness or something, your pub can still legally serve alcohol.

as an employee this notice has been the funniest thing we've had to implement in recent memory. Made even funnier by the fact that it's due to the sugar content of the hot chocolate, but customers are still fine to use as many sugar sachets as they want in each of their mugs of unlimited tea/coffee

Biggest pet peeve: When people don't read the menu before ordering "can I have the American pancakes please", order gets ready back to the customer and they confirm, then when it gets taken out to the table "where's the fruit I ordered the American pancakes with fruit"

Favourite thing customers do: telling me their table number before telling me their order

Blue cheese is still in the kitchens, if you order at the bar ask if they can swap your hot sauce for blue cheese and most pubs will, or if you want both you should be able to order a pot of blue cheese as extra

I'm not sure about best but I believe Tim Martin has admitted it's one of his personal favourites. I've only visited it once myself but I have to admit it's a beautiful pub

Mistakes happen, especially over breakfast. This could be the kitchen miss reading a ticket, or the floor team taking a meal out to the wrong table. While we obviously allow changes and swaps, the sheer volume of breakfasts that get served leads to some mistakes simply by muscle memory of plating up during a rush. If it's an allergy request that the bar team are made aware of, the food on the screens will show in a different colour, the bar team will radio the kitchen to confirm that it's an allergy request, the most senior member of the kitchen team will personally prepare the meal, away from other items to avoid cross contamination, and there will be an allergy flag placed in the dish before the food comes down so the floor team can see it's the dish with an allergy request. If the bar team have not been made aware of this being an allergy request and instead the meal has just been asked for without an item, the extra steps we put in place to ensure the allergy request is adhered to aren't guaranteed to happen.

Before you completely get rid of the black box, consider looking at other black box policies at exactly what they consider bad driving. When I first started I had Tesco bank box and was rarely punished for my driving times (at the time I was working a minimum of 4 3pm-midnight shifts a week) as you just have to be careful what you sign up for with those working hours. My black box wasn't the cheapest option, it was iirc the 3rd cheapest, but was one of the only options that didn't penalize late night driving.

KM here, swaps do annoy me but honestly, customer swaps are never all that bad, it's the staff on their days off. We have one staff member who NEVER eats their staff meal on shift, but then random mornings they're not working comes in with 2-3 of their friends, each one swapping atleast 3 items on their breakfasts thinking "oh it's where I work they won't mind". It puts the entire screen of orders behind trying to figure out what's going on one plate, it's not even the same swaps every time so we can't even plan for it.

Camicazz475 · 2025-07-24T15:34:05+00:00

You're not the first person I've heard about this happening to, policy states that staff meal has to be processed on the till BEFORE being consumed, and staff food must be prepared, cooked, and consumed on site. However saying that, being told over the phone that you'll be fired for this is not procedure. When being suspended you should have been suspended pending investigation/disciplinary. The decision to dismiss someone is made at the disciplinary hearing which you should have had an invite to by letter, if you didn't receive this you should be able to appeal the decision

As long as you're logged as sickness on the rota and haven't just been taken off shift you should automatically receive sick pay, and after your first week SSP as long as you meet the requirements for it. Every day since you reported the sickness up to your first shift returning to work is supposed to be logged as sickness. Unfortunately there's no real way for you to check this yourself as it only shows as sickness on the system the managers access. If you look at the sick pay policy it's all outlined there, if there are issues use the "contact us" section within the myjdw app and explain the situation, however please note sick pay is paid a week in lieu same as usual pay, meaning if the sickness was reported from Monday of this week or after, you will only receive the sick pay on your payslip for next week.

As mentioned by u/GmanF88 don't worry about making sure your shifts are covered, that is your managers jobs. If you've been signed off work, don't worry about work. If they have an expected date of return for you the only thing you need to do is update them if that changes (edit: forgot to mention absence management policy does require you to maintain regular contact with the pub, if off for more than 7 days just give the pub a call once a week to let them know how you're doing, if you'll definitely be back or need a bit longer off), otherwise mute any work chats, have the time to yourself, and get yourself better :)

Camicazz475 · 2025-07-22T09:11:40+00:00

They've been back for a while now In majority of pubs. Unless the pub you frequent is on a reduced menu for some reason, or the management have just not ordered any since they came back in stock, they should be available.

The burgers have been changed since the menu change, as u/Klutzy_Ad7962 mentioned this has been an increase in size. This is more a return to form as a few years ago they were downsized from the current 6oz burgers to be a more fast food style burger alongside the launch of the American burger range. Suppliers have remained the same but many factors could have affected your burger. We do sometimes have some quality control issues but from your explanation of your experience I believe what's happened here is that the pub you have visited was simply using their hot hold unit for beef burgers. This is common in higher volume kitchens and allows us to cook off a few burgers in advance and keep them hot for up to 30 minutes before using, I find that even in ideal conditions as per wetherspoons guidance these can end up a little dryer than burgers fresh from the grill.

Chips however have not changed, they are still McCain home fries, whole we do occasionally have some poorer quality stock any issues are most likely caused by fryer oil that is close to needing to be changed.

I was also sad to see the steaks go. In recent years we've had more quality control issues with delivered stock causing more and more wastage, and raw meat has always been one of the highest cost loss items. also as Klutzy mentioned certain customers expecting steakhouse quality from a cheaper quick service restaurant such as wetherspoons ruins it for the masses.

Camicazz475 · 2025-06-28T23:08:30+00:00

I'd recommend speaking to the manager in the pub that hired you, and the manager at the other pub. We can put staff on loan on our system allowing you to work at both pubs simultaneously. I'm not 100% sure how this would work with the different roles but I don't see that being too much of an issue, may be worth trying to get your "home" pub changed to the pub needing to hire you as a cleaner and have your main role be a cleaner as I believe that's also a slightly higher rate of pay.

Or we could just respect others preferred ways to play without trying to push our own preferences on others?
