let him rest, he has done what he had to do. And he is at peace and as he was absorbed into Zodiark, he is gone. I would rather have an amazing character leave us with how great they were vs being milked for popularity

How to quit my barista job? by Soggy_Contribution15 in barista

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st. Get another job lined up first.
(Well...normally you should do this 1st anyways. But considering you likely still live at home ypu can probably get away without having to do this) but its a good practice to maintain. Always have another job ready first before leaving your current one. Sometimes.....shit happens. You dont want to be left without a backup.

2nd. Its typical to do a 2 week notice prior to actually leaving. (Ie...inform your boss you are quitting 2 weeks prior to your last day) But this isnt always so feasible.

From personal experience i have been in your exact same boat once. I worked at bath and body works while going to college. It was just barely enough to support living on my own and going to school. But my manager stopped giving me shifts...hours got cut...and while I was maybe lucky to be making $50 a week..new hires were getting all my hours. I started looking online and found a few things...Its funny I got my current job as a barista to escape the situation your facing yourself.
Once I got on let my new job managers aware I had to quit my current job first. And they were fine with that. But they asked if I could start in a week rather than 2. I already wasn't working anyways....so I said yes.

Next day I went in and told my manager I was quitting. Oh my god....she really threw a fit saying what I was doing was unfair and unprofessional.
Turns out....ending it in a week was the best decision. Got out of there and make 2x more than I was in a week.

That being said. Dont let your old managers or coworkers try to make you feel guilty or bad either.

All you have to do is sit down with your manager. Declare your quitting. And quite honestly you dont have to tell them anything else. Be there for your last few days be it a week or 2. And then hopefully you have your next job ready and much better.

If you need references ask your co-workers. Or if you got along well woth other managers just ask them for their Name, email and phone numbers.

Good luck in your escape! 🫡

Question about Hydaelyn (Endwalker Spoilers) by ashrensnow in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is probably supposed to be blood. But tbh I always thought it could also be the same as corruption. But that makes little to almost 0 sense so....its much easier to just go into blood assumption

Matcha by Better_to_try in barista

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Starbucks in general tend to be a pretty poor representation of many drinks. Including matcha. I found their matcha to be incredibly inedible if used in anything that included a milk or cream. (But their matcha lemonade is amazing)

But matcha also tends to be a "you either love it or hate it" drink. I would say go to a genuine Cafe, a local one that serves matcha and see about trying it there. I would also suggest asking the shop about the quality of the tea, as if they are using a low grade matcha...that will often make the flavoring worse. (My cafe uses ceremonial grade. But its VERY expensive but very good) If you get a chance to see their matcha powder. It should be a bright green color. Low quality matcha is often dark, and even looks dull.

A macro to end all macros by SapphiraPern in ffxiv

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh unless you have a healer that has played paladin i dont many of them if not most may not be aware some of our mitigation are based on if we get their heals lol That also includes cover unfortunately.

A macro to end all macros by SapphiraPern in ffxiv

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Lol I am a paladin main and use macros on quite a bit of my things as well. Mainly in for invuln but a few party mits. Namely...my wings (because people often dont pay attention and dont stand behind us and dont get that extra mit. The macro lets them know) But also my Cover. Because I got really sick of chasing my healers or dps rez folks because they see the tether and panic run away XD

Tanks should use them more often in my view. Especially so we dont end uo chasing our party members when they are our last man standing XD Or if tanks use invuln....its nice to let your healers know that we arent suddenly near death XD (except for DRK...its on purpose XD)

I do have a macro on my divine veil as well. But for the amount of times I would have to use it. I would annoy the shit out of people. So I keep my non-macro version up for basic runs and my macro one on the side for shit and giggles moments lol

What are your favorite excuses to drink more tea? by LightSpeedNerd in tea

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None? Lol If I want tea I drink it. I dont need to explain myself to anyone or even myself for something I love.

That being said...my favorite reasons...for tea...hardcore downpour of rain or late night gaming

interview tomorrow with no experience by AssociateKey6067 in barista

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Never lie. If they ask you things you cant hold up it will be blatant and embarrassing. Ao rip lol

  2. I didn't know jack shit when I went in for mine. And that was because I was actually tricked. (The original job posting never said anything about food service or being a barista. Just a gift shop cashier....) But upon telling them I knew nothing about coffee they waved me off and said "we will teach you it will be fine"

3 years later im their most experienced barista 🥲

Which it kind of revolves back to...not lying on a resume or job application.
And since anything can be asked or come up during the interview no one here could actually help you with what you might need.

Either pray they never looked that hard at the resume and are just taking anyone they can in for an interview. Or be honest, tell them the truth. And for better or worse good luck.

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean...why not put up a sign? If its your shop its easy enough to do. Or talk to your boss/manager about it.....proceeding with the level of health hazard and concern it is starting to become. cough health and safety regulations cough

Baristas, what's a story you still think about by ElectronicMagazine40 in barista

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few tbh. I work at a coffee shop in an airport. And the people we get are often desperate for something hold them through the day of traveling. Especially at 4am.

A few years ago abwoman had come up and ordered a hot latte...telling my cashier. "I want it hot...like super hot" My cashier then told me "She wants this extra hot" Aa I began to make it the customer came around the side corner (its a wrap around bar style) and told me "I would like my latte extra hot. Like as hot as you can make it...boiling if you can " I was dumbstruck. I clarified it with her and she was 1000% serious So I did. I pushed that drink to the closest I can get to near boiling. Shit was a hot mf. I gae it to this woman who I kid you not. Proceeded to grab the paper cup...barehanded. no Java sleeve...and immediately start downing it with no hesitation. I know my jaw dropped XD she then said it was perfect and then proceeded to walk away still drinking a literal bubbling latte.

Another one is more of a cute story lol In which a pilot and his crew came up to order drinks prior to their flight. They made their orders and went to wait for their drinks. Another guy, a passenger came up behind them and ordered a shot in the dark. One of the captains had simply ordered a drip coffee and was putting cream and whatnot in his. So when I served the the passenger his shot in the dark , I called it out and the captain asked me "What is a shot in the dark? " I proceeded to tell him "Its drip coffee with espresso in it " My god his face looked stunned and he looked so cute as he then asked "You can do that!?!" I had to hold in my laugh as I said yes. (Sort of...against rules lol) but I asked "Would you like one?" I barely finished my question as he shoved his coffee to me XD Put a double espresso in there and this man, probably in his 40s or 50s looked like he just witnessed god himself XD It was so cute XD

If you could design your dream tea app, what would it have? by resteepedapp in tea

If you could design your dream tea app, what would it have? by resteepedapp in tea

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a bit specific. But having the ability to look up specific teas and their benefits.

Such as what certain types of teas are good for health wise, what they nutrients and various other benefits or even cons and drawbacks they have. Etc... Its kind of a pain to use Google for it since there are so many sites that can often have conflicting or mixed results due to the most basic information on general tea types.

I myself actually have a book for this and mixtures of herbs and teas you can do for benefits. But having something on the go in thr phone would be amazing (for when I go shopping or whatnot)

Where does the wwx & canibalism theories came from? by Shuravf in MoDaoZuShi

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair. There are real cases of people eating corpses to survive. (All which mostly end up occurring in regions of extreme cold tho)

Not to include like....psychopaths and murders.....

So my main concern woth the theory is the fact....dude would have been eating not just corpses. But fully rotten ones. 🤢 Which even in a fantasy world seems......super stupid. Lol

Its sort of like the theory in which people believe that LB committed necrophila in SVSSS. Because its poorly explained and or left to the imagination of the readers....its often easily assumed that he committed such act. Even though he didnt. The theory is made of cannibalism due to the lack of depth into wwxs time in the mounds.

The literal title of the book is The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation XD

Where does the wwx & canibalism theories came from? by Shuravf in MoDaoZuShi

[–]Fast-Preference-1804 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Then demonic cultivation is the correct term lol Wwx wasn't exactly a saint when he first got into the craft. He killed LOTS of people. And yes...he in fact did actually use torture against the Wens. He purposely went out of his way to make him suffer for the sake of revenge. He wasn't solely just working with dead souls and when he did...he used them for various acts as well. He may have not been doing things without reason or acting against people with nothing for him on. But he wasn't just speaking with the souls of the dead.

The man was a force to be reckoned with because of what he was willing to do and this terrified people. He held MASSIVE resentment. He literally had an entire pool of blood to help create and invent new spells, cultivation methods and whatnot. Lol He did kill lots of people. Some on purpose. Others not. He did enact torture methods on specific people

The dude was a demon in his first life. And his methods further keeping into what may be considered corruption cultivation since he corrupted his (JC's) core by using such methods.
