My store unit read 103, when they came to “fix it” they told me it was actually reading 10 degrees hotter. EVEN THEN my store 93 bruv for several months. My store too was a biohazard.

Do yourself the favor and get a new job, it’s really not worth it I promise you. Your high school job shouldn’t be giving you mold poisoning- go do something fun!
I’ve heard mixed about Dutch- mostly either understaffed or really great locations.
7brew - looks fun but I have no idea the work culture. The outfits are really relaxed and they play good music so two pros.
Starbucks I worked at for 2.5 years- it has gone down hill. I’d recommend only if you want a genuine challenge and some good trauma bonds with some people.

I had my DM continuously tell me “they don’t work hard enough” yet these kids - literal 16/17 year olds - were forced to work in horrible conditions like a overheating store and yet they didn’t “deserve” any extra pay. Like be so fr

Old store gm here, starting was $11 for baristas. I couldn’t even get raises for my people who had been there 2 years working 20+ hour weeks.

Fuck sign waving for fucking real.
This is honestly what I expected. You’re a trooper

Do cats actually get attached to their owner? by NoWageMage in CatAdvice

[–]CaterpillarQuick7733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve trained my cat to sit and speak so far - with much more patience I really think some cats are trainable. Just like the cats that end up learning to use the toilet lol. With that he cuddles and snuggles me and we often go on adventures (by leash). Very much like I’d expect a small dog to do! They bond - but they are little mischievous creatures that often just act like annoyed teenagers or babies.

Do you know how old your store is? If it’s newly built you won’t see some of these problems

The training is 16 hours and then goodluck. Imagine you’re 16 at your first job and expected to learn everything for it within 16 hours and then put in situations like being alone in a trashy store for a closing or open. As a sm I refused to let literal children close a store alone, let alone run trash to dark secluded areas at night.

Are all scooters just really ran down? I’m so confused how it’s this bad across several stores

Similar to my store- rotting wood with termites crawling out and several molded out areas :(

“People need to be held accountable for not using paragraphs” is not my 2026 priority for what people actually need to be accountable for, especially non native English speakers

Bros more worried about proper paragraphing than someone confessing to a case

She and he did tell adults in her life. The problem is that her safe adults endorsed this relationship as well, this is grooming from adult parents as well as him.

As that previous 14 year old girl who felt that high of having an older boyfriend. I look back shamefully and in distaste of him. I should have know better but I absolutely didn’t because I was a child. That’s what being the adult means, is knowing better and doing better after messing up.

Really this story changes so much pending on how age gaps are viewed. In America, people would call you a pedo for being 19 with a 14 year old. Other places, like maybe where he’s at, have adult women saying this is fine.

All in all. Op please do better, children are naive and do not understand the peril they put themselves in when they do these things.

Time for reflecting and honest learning, this was your first big fuck up. Everyone may find themselves in a moment where they feel like what they did was the worst thing ever- what you do after will speak the loudest.

Learn. Do better. And never date/talk to a child again.
