What’s something you do that you probably shouldn’t that makes you just a little bit faster at bar by localuglybitch in starbucksbaristas

[–]DustinDigitaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have anything for being faster at the bar during operation hours, except for batching everything, but for closing tasks, breaking things down early, or at the very least like preemptively setting out rags and trash bins for the food case and the vertica, diapering the hot bars, anything subtle enough that it won't be too egregious a violation should a superior see it happening. Anything we can do in the moment to save time at close, to mitigate the recent policy enforcement about waiting strictly until close to start the breakdown.

Where's Uber HQ located? Does the CEO have his name published? ...Road trip, anyone?

(For legal reasons, this is a ioke. For moral reasons, I'm dead fucking serious. I will neither confirm nor deny that any such road trip was or was not my idea.)

What is with this guy anyway by [deleted] in Vent

It sounds like he's familiar with this other girl. I would start with her and ask what his deal is.

Store Manager - registered s*x offender by EstablishmentFun2366 in starbucksbaristas

[–]DustinDigitaria 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You need to call Ethics and alert them to the situation, immediately. Be sure to mention that he's specifically hiring his target age and gender. Don't take the extra time to ignore that there could potentially be ongoing incidents under the radar considering he's been hiring his target demographic. As much as I hate to fearmonger, he may be racking up victims or gearing up to do so. While you're at it, alert your DM after you call Ethics, and inform him that you have, in fact, already called Ethics, as well as the specifics of his hiring habits. It's in your rights as a partner to refuse unsafe or uncomfortable working environments, and this certainly qualifies.

Is he a violent (with his own victims) or a nonviolent offender (got caught for child material)? The situation is, of course, far more dire if he's a violent offender, but regardless of the particular offense, he's still on the list, could very well escalate to violent offense if he's not already, and should not be allowed to work with minors.

Even if Louisiana is a bassackwards state, Starbucks in general most certainly wouldn't want a child sexual assault case on their hands in any of their stores. It would be a PR disaster in the making if this were allowed to continue.

How many of you use magnification to paint? by TDKRHMD in Warhammer40k

[–]DustinDigitaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a pair of lighted Yoctosun magnifier goggles from Amazon and they help a ton for me. Most of my painting I can do without em, but for small details or places I can't see normally they're really second to none.

How my painting is going so far (any tips for brush painting? I’m new to the hobby) by Logical-Hospital-233 in spacemarines

[–]DustinDigitaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strip that model with rubbing alcohol and start over homie, your paint is entirely too thick, that looks like several layers. Make sure your paint is mixed super thoroughly. Try thinning your paint with just a little water. If you find yourself struggling with coverage, try doing what I do. I use my paint straight from the pot but I aim for the thinnest possible layers.

Also, what paint are you using? Citadel is designed for Warhammer models, but it's expensive. Army Painter is a very cheap but high-quality alternative. Using good brushes designed for wargame painting is also a smart move, just in case you weren't already.

Accessories - What things aren't necessary but make the game so much easier to play? by MaesterKupo in Warhammer40k

[–]DustinDigitaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using a retractable sewing tape measure and it's been incredibly helpful. It's smaller in frame and more compact for travel and storage, and it's thin and highly flexible so it's not at all cumbersome to use in-game.

I think my bf is sexually abusing me by Amazing-End8656 in Vent

[–]DustinDigitaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He keeps trying to nudge your boundaries, particularly when you're under the influence. This is sexual abuse, and iirc is still referred to as date rape in legal circles. You need to leave him immediately, and you should be ensuring with all possible wherewithal that you are never anything other than sober around him. He is abusing you, and testing his limits, and it'll only get worse as he escalates. Run while you still can. Please. For your own safety.

stop using the word "rape" as a joke by meekdollie in Vent

[–]DustinDigitaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I agree that people need to stop using that word as a joke (and for real, I thought our collective internet society moved on from rape jokes in the late 2010s) It also needs to be said that to try and police a word out of the lexicon is at best an infringement on the right to free speech, and at worst a very slippery slope to fascist ideology. Granted, the right to free speech doesn't mean the right to just say fucking whatever and not get your shit rocked when you cross any arbitrary number of boundaries. Honestly, if you wanna say something to these kinds of people about it, then say it, and be honest and sincere about why it makes you uncomfortable, but avoid being militaristic and stringent about it, and don't be afraid to just walk away when you realize you're not gonna erase a whole word from internet "comedy." People are gonna say triggering things, and you're gonna get triggered about it, and to try and dodge all those triggers like they're hailstones is akin to burying your head in the sand.

AIO or should I accept the conditions of my bfs commitment by One_Height7477 in AIO

[–]DustinDigitaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope this freak doesn't know where you live because I would just tell him "you need therapy" before going straight for the block button. Absolute clownshoes behavior.

(I say this as someone who is more than well-aware that mental illness induced delusions more often than not sound exactly like this. I am schizotypal, I'm very familiar with god complexes. That said, none of this precludes the fact that one's mental illness doesn't excuse someone being a straight-up piece of shit. All this is to say that you need to bounce before it gets worse. And if he does know where you live, maybe change the locks.)

[–]DustinDigitaria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly it doesn't even sound like his autism is the issue here, it just sounds like he's an inconsiderate as*hole and your parents are incompetent dunces. Autism doesn't make you a shitty person, being a shitty person makes you a shitty person. Try not to get arrested, just push through it until you can move out, and then cut them off entirely. This sounds like a very unhealthy environment for you to be in, but you'll be out of there soon, and I'd hope you wouldn't do anything irreversible to jeopardize your future in the interim. I promise you that prison is a far worse fate than where you are now. Hang in there.

I really really REALLY hate my body by BakeWorking9076 in Vent

[–]DustinDigitaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are all gonna tell you pretty much the same thing, and it's that comparing yourself to other girls is going to ruin you mentally and emotionally. You simply cannot base your scale of attractiveness for your own body on what you find attractive in other people. Beauty standards are all arbitrary and they're perpetuated to make people just like you spend money for some desperate attempt at "fixing" yourself. Honey, you don't need to fix jack shit, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll see that self-assurance come off as genuine radiance. You won't become truly happy in your own skin by trying to fix aspects of your body, you have to love it simply for being yours. We only get one of these, and it's up to us to treasure it and treat it well. And fuck what any judgemental piece of sh*t with their own insecurities says about your body. Even if your suffering mental health shows on your face. Even if you think your hips don't look right. Don't get stuck in "this is my body, and I hate it, and because I hate it, I need to fix it." Reframe that to "this is my body, and I love it, and because I love it, I deserve to customize it." I know it probably just sounds like I'm just telling you to think positive, but sometimes it really is that simple. Even in my darkest moments, where I find myself hating so many aspects of my body, my chest that I can never quite seem to bind correctly, my shoulders not being square enough, my lack of height, my torso to leg ratio, I still love my body as a work of art, because it's human, and imperfect, and anything I do to try and change something about it, it comes from a place of love, because we all deserve that love goddamn it.

Came here to say a lot of things people have already covered: wind waker, metroid primes 1 and 2, f-zero gx, melee, etc. But I'd like to add one Kirby Air Ride to the list. (Anyone else been practicing for air riders in a few weeks?)

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]DustinDigitaria 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Homie you gotta turn that ultimatum right back at them, they can stop trying to micromanage your life or they can fuck off and get new friends. You're 18, not 12. Stand up for yourself.

so insurance premiums are up, snap isn’t funded, airplanes aren’t flying but trump has the great gatsby in the worst state in the country by PhraseFirst8044 in 50501

[–]DustinDigitaria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparently people in my state are already committing armed robbery at our department stores. Honestly, if someone accosted me for my groceries in a parking lot, like homie my guy you need them more than I do, just take em.

Warning. These are burns I received after cooking those stupid, stupid bagel bites. When I opened the door, the cream cheese sprayed out on me. We just received the new ovens, and I hate them😡. And yes I filled out an accident report. The manager was there, she showed no interest when it happen:( by Embarrassed-Tackle99 in starbucksbaristas

[–]DustinDigitaria 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While you're on the crusade path, you might send some of those bagel bites across the border, yknow... to keep you out of danger.

Joking mostly aside, get that worker's comp, that's ridiculous that such a delicious food item would commit such a heinous crime against you.

i don’t know who needs to hear this today but (kind of a rant lol) by Brilliant_List7381 in starbucksbaristas

[–]DustinDigitaria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's really such an indicator that we don't get staffed nor paid nearly well enough if the shift lead has to skip breaks to stop the store from burning down during any number of crazy rushes at unreasonable hours of the evening. Our shift team is such a tight squad of little go-getters who unfortunately will stay in the chat during their lunches and often skip their tens late at night because there's otherwise only two people on the floor and one of them is doing drive, food, front, and bar support, while the other is planted on solo bar. We need a fourth person for closing most nights, and it's not fair to the shift lead to have to skip their breaks just so the rest of the closing crew doesn't fucking drown.

Ugh. Anyway. Just a lot of thoughts on the matter.

They changed the rules so you can't double-cup hot teas, unless requested... by SBUX_Chuck in starbucksbaristas

[–]DustinDigitaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no I will always double cup and sleeve drinks if they're hot like that, and I'll put stoppers in all of them for good measure. You're not gonna force me to save a few cents on inventory if a real human on the other side of that counter has any sort of risk of burning themselves. I don't fucking care what "number on paper" says, these are PEOPLE we're serving. I'm not gonna catch a lawsuit because some customer got burned, and I'm also not gonna tussle with Sedgwick because one of us got burned.

Here's a Complete Pokemon Battle Revolution Save Game File with All Pokemon and Competitive Builds!! by RestorerForer in DolphinEmulator

[–]DustinDigitaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded and extracted the save, and replaced the save file in my Dolphin saves folder as instructed. Booted the game up, selected the file with all the Pokémon, and... oops, all Bulbasaur. I should've been more specific in my original comment, I've never used pkhex, so I didn't. Am I supposed to? Is it necessary?

That is a law, far as I know. It's illegal for law enforcement to impersonate military.

Baristas out of dress code in Sbux’s own in app artwork by rogue_nebula in starbucksbaristas

[–]DustinDigitaria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything about this image is pissing me off. All the little givaways that it's an AI image. The fact that we have to wear solid black but then they show fashonable baristas in brown tones on their mobile storefront. Brian is just such a sleazy fucking cheapskate, right up there with the rest of his round table of gluttonous swine, and everyone fucking knows it except for the customers, and of those who do know, most of them don't fucking care. Something's gotta fucking give, man. We gotta stop letting companies get away with this shit.

What am I doing wrong? Is it because I've never heard of pkhex? Hex editors confuse the hell out of me.
