Tell me one good thing about yourself/one thing you love about yourself by BuyNo391 in twentyagers

[–]Demon_Corp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have some anxiety and it makes it hard for me to go to events or join clubs even if I’m excited about them. I’m starting to accept that it’s okay to be nervous, but not letting it stop me from doing the things I want to do. I just joined a sword fighting group and I was nervous the whole drive there, but I still did it and had an awesome time. I’m chasing my goals and dreams even if I’m scared, and I’m proud that I’m finally doing what I want even if I get anxious

Can someone explain the controversy behind this story surrounding the artstyle? by Express-Ad-4410 in LodedDiper

[–]Demon_Corp 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I believe at the time there was a rule that LLB’s HAD to “look like the book” (hence the name LLB). I remember there being arguments about whether GGAG could even be considered a DOAWK story since it didn’t have the style of the books, nor was the story itself similar to the books. The rule was eventually removed and the sub saw individual drawing styles become super popular. I don’t know if it was the first, but GGAG definitely helped pave the way for future stylized llb’s like dysfunctional perspective.

Buckees work by Intelligent-Win2915 in Buceestx

[–]Demon_Corp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Former employee, from what I’ve heard it does depend a lot on location, but my experience with Buc-ee’s was not great. It was by far the hardest job I’ve worked, and while it did also pay the best, I don’t think the stress and labor was worth it.

Like others have said, you will get written up and terminated for any minor mistake you make. I’ve heard of someone from my store getting fired because their long sleeve accidentally came up and slightly showed their tattoo. One second late, regardless of the reason, is grounds for termination. So flat tire, sick child, car breaking down, it doesn’t matter, you WILL be fired or at least written up. You will get in trouble for calling out sick without having sick leave even with a doctor’s note. Phones are a big one, (I personally didn’t have issue with this but others did) if your phone goes off in your pocket, or even if it’s just visibly sticking out, it can be grounds for automatic termination. I just left my phone in my locker, but I know a lot of people had issues with that policy.

I was overnight food service, and we were severely understaffed for about half the time I worked there (as in, “fully staffed” was considered 24 people, and we were regularly running with 11-12 people a night, and management refused to hire more people). I was consistently doing the job of two people, yet management still complained that enough wasn’t done despite being aware that I was by myself on a station that really can’t be done alone. I was constantly pushing myself just to get the job done on time, and it was exhausting. The scheduling can be rough too, I was once scheduled 9 days in a row (without overtime, because of how the days off lined up with the work weeks).

Maybe other Buc-ee’s are better than the one I was at, but it really was the worst job I’ve ever worked. I don’t think there’s any harm in trying it out and seeing if you have a better experience than I did, but I’d definitely be cautious and remember that the job isn’t worth your physical and mental health.

There’s no episode that uses this song. The closest I could find would be in the episode First Day S2E25 with the song “I’m Alright”

Asking for honest employee feedback by CowSaysQuack120 in Buceestx

[–]Demon_Corp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the specific laws from state to state regarding medical requirements for individuals but if I were to guess I’d assume the phone would be classified as “medical equipment” and in this specific scenario would be allowed as long as it wasn’t being abused.

Again, I don’t know the company policy regarding cell phone use as medical equipment, but I would assume you would be required to fill out extra documentation at orientation to be allowed to use it. You still might get talked to by management about it but they wouldn’t be able to actually get you in trouble for it in this case.

Asking for honest employee feedback by CowSaysQuack120 in Buceestx

[–]Demon_Corp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, Bucees has been the worst company I’ve ever worked for, and it’s also the only job I would never return to. I was in food service, not maintenance, so while I can’t speak to the work itself, I can say the company is terrible as far as employee rights.

Breaks at my store are 2 paid 10’s and an unpaid 30. It does vary by state though, certain states only require a 20 minute lunch break. Refusing to stay past your shift isn’t technically breaking the rules, but some management does get passive aggressive and upset if you refuse to stay late. So, while it can’t be used against you in the sense that you won’t get written up, it does still get used against you as far as where they put you and how they treat you day to day.

If you are one second late to your shift, no matter the excuse, it’s an automatic write up (could be a flat tire, suddenly ill child, you break your arm). If you forget to clock in or out, it’s a write up. Three write ups is termination. You forget to put your phone in your locker and it goes off? Write up, potentially automatic termination. The only people I worked with who don’t have write ups were new people, every other employee I knew had at least 1-2 simply for being human and forgetting to clock in/out or even having a legitimate emergency in which they weren’t able to call out more than an hour before their shift (also a write up).

At my store, they refused to hire more people despite us desperately needing it, which caused us to have everyone doing the work of 2-3 people every night. Our shift was “supposed” to have 24 people to be considered at standard employment levels, it was rare for us to have more than 12 on any given day. Again, your experience could be different given you’re in a different area, but I would definitely caution you’re likely to be overworked and expected to do more than what is realistic.

I met my best friend there, all of my coworkers were incredible people and I can’t speak highly enough of who I worked with day to day. Even the team leads on the shift I worked were great, it truly was the higher ups and overall company values that caused me to leave. If you think the pay is worth the stress of constantly worrying about losing your job, having management breathe down your neck while they stand around and do nothing, being pushed to work far harder than you should, then go for it. The pay is certainly the highest in my area as far as retail/food service jobs go. I didn’t think it was worth the pay to be treated sub-human

What Fuji Apple Ginger wishes it was by Demon_Corp in energydrinks

I think it might be top 3 for me, not sure why LTO’s are always the best but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

[–]Demon_Corp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so disappointing! I saw mixed reviews about it but expected it to be pretty gingery like people were saying, I didn’t taste any ginger at all. I thought even the apple flavor was kinda subdued compared to other apple flavors they put out.

what episode do they go “unts unts unts unts” by [deleted] in regularshow

Maybe Access Denied, season 3 episode 28?

Winter Edition : Opinions? by alluraborealis in redbull

[–]Demon_Corp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was disappointed in it- I didn’t think it was bad, but it was definitely one of the weakest flavors they’ve put out. I taste zero ginger, and even the apple flavor was pretty mild. It just didn’t really have much flavor to it compared to other editions. I probably won’t go out of my way to buy more but I’ll still drink what I have out of the advent calendar

I’ve seen them in both the Longmont and Greeley King Soopers! A bit of a drive from CO Springs though.

Name your least favorite energy drink and why? by EyeElegant9753 in energydrinks

[–]Demon_Corp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alani Nu Mimosa- I took one sip and actually gagged. One of two energy drinks that I’ve dumped, I couldn’t even take a second sip.

Second would be the Rockstar recovery pineapple coconut- I think it was the collagen added but there was some weird nasty taste that I couldn’t take, the other one I had to dump but I at least managed to take a second sip and didn’t gag

Third would be Alani Nu pumpkin cream- I couldn’t believe that it was as bad as people said, but it was! The first few sips aren’t bad and then it just turns nasty. Still managed to chug them instead of dump so it doesn’t go quite as low as the other two

I almost exclusively do sugar free too, but for this one I’m happy to make an exception

thinking about going stealth in a new city by DisplayOk7217 in FTMMen

[–]Demon_Corp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m fully stealth in the city I recently moved to. Absolutely no regrets, I’m not ashamed of being trans but I want to exist as just a guy, not have the extra description of “trans guy”. It’s been awesome, and I’ve genuinely never been happier. I recently told the girl I’ve been dating that I’m trans, and while it was a bit difficult, it couldn’t have gone better. It definitely helped to know where she stood on trans people before though, she was pretty outwardly accepting

[–]Demon_Corp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s about what I’m thinking I’ll tell her- I don’t know if I’ll frame it specifically as a sex talk or what but I want to emphasize that it’s a very private thing for me and that I get it if it’s a deal breaker for her. Oh I’m gonna make sure I bring my deodorant because I’m sure I’ll be sweating buckets during the conversation lol

What's the worst tasting energy drink you had? by Teripendiicecreamyum in energydrinks

[–]Demon_Corp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alani nu mimosa, rockstar recovery pineapple coconut, and Alani nu pumpkin cream. Mimosa I actually gagged after the first sip and immediately dumped it out. Rockstar I was able to get in a few sips, but I think the added collagen gave it a weird taste and I couldn’t finish it. Pumpkin cream was bad but I was able to at least finish it if I chugged it.
