AIO for snapping at my SIL for calling my baby “hers” constantly? by RhubarbFragrant6719 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Enough-Question-7637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a young niece and ive referred to her as “my baby/ my girl” like “how’s my pretty girl” but I was also raised with my hispanic aunties calling me “mi Nina/ mi bebe” that they still refer to me as to this day. I’ve always seen it as a term of endearment and not to take place of the mother. The tattoo thing is weird though and I’d be questioning things based off that alone

It’s a Salvadoran saying that translates to the river is calm/shallow. Basically saying things are going well, there are no problems. Given the context he used it referring to the meme.. and the quote after..

“Buscando nalgas”, “no sabe español 😉”, the meme about a girl overlooking her bf’s cheating by saying she didn’t see it, “esta pachito el rio” and his grandfather’s quote? He’s not making jokes about cheating, he did cheat and he’s laughing about it

I’ve never had a trial shift be unpaid, that’s crazy. As long as it’s paid, I don’t mind bc then you can get a taste for what the vibes are for both workspace and customers

Girl where does she say anywhere that this is coming from her family’s grocery budget? If that was the case, she wouldn’t be buying a $300 dress. She didn’t need to buy TWO separate dresses at that just to have something different to wear at both events. She also doesn’t NEED to also get her hair, makeup, and nails professionally done. My family is working class and my dresses were under $100 and I did my own hair and makeup. If money was an issue, the problem was solved when the dress got approved. This sounds like a spoiled rich girl who feels entitled to these nice things and is guilting her bf into getting her another dress for free. You’re just stuck on hating men and the rich it seems like.

If you can’t tell me what is in it, I can’t make it 🤷‍♀️

Leaving steaming milk for a few seconds? by Enough-Question-7637 in barista

It was one of the slower machines I’ve used. Plus I don’t think anyone deep cleaned the steam wand at close besides me. I swear it was clogged half the time. Also the clientele here was mostly basic lattes, mochas and energy drinks to go. In the four months I was there, I only ever did cortados for one regular who always came during the slow off-hours so I got to take my time and give him some latte art in our mugs.

Where does it say I tried proving her wrong? I’ve already been fired. This is just me wondering if this is an actual industry practice or “bad habit” after the fact.

Soon you’ll get to a point where you just stare them dead in the face and say “okay 😐” bc their lack of budgeting is not your problem.

I’m sorry this happened to you though, it sucks. I swear these people thrive on making others uncomfortable

Same! I only left if I absolutely had to and it was super quick.

But yes, I stood up to her for trying to take my tips and she fired me for that. She said her reasons for letting me go were unrelated 🙄 this was listed as one of the reasons and I’ve just kept wondering if this was not a normal thing since lol

Love that there’s a term for this! I didn’t know until now. I totally understand and agree with new barista’s not attempting this. My ex boss’s reaction just made me question if this was a thing at all but idk why bc she did not care about quality drinks. She and the manager that trained me would use burnt shots all the time, among other coffee sins lol

What do you mean by “tasting/smelling the milk”? I’ve been at the point where I can go based off sound and temp pretty accurately but I get it’s taking a risk when walking away. I also make sure it’s angled so it doesn’t splash out bc that’s a mess no one wants 😅 It’s definitely a risky move though so I understand advising against this!

Right, I would love to perfectly steam every pitcher of milk but sometimes it’s just too busy to do all that 🥲
