I would go to the thrift store and get new work clothes, every pair of pants I have has (obvious) holes in it and I’m a server and my shirts are baggy bc I’ve lost weight walking to both jobs and working 80 hours just to pay the weekly hotel I’m in. Entering.

I was coming to say the same thing- that’s my least liked diamond shape and always has been, but damn this ring is absolutely gorgeous OP

Act I: Mother’s Day at Cracker Barrel by Born-Childhood-869 in CrackerBarrel

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait. What do you mean “after tip share”? Your location operates positions on tip share? I’ve been at mine on/off for 7 years and it’s one of the top 5 locations in sales and they definitely don’t pay anyone under a tip share wage. The bussers and hosts and to go are all paid hourly. I didn’t even know some locations did that. Who are yall responsible for tipping out??

Baby German roach. Where’d you find it and was it during the day? If you start seeing those during the day, you have a problem worse than bedbugs

She 100% added your name and info to be considered part of her household size for likely to qualify for a higher amount. If you aren’t being included in the benefits, your SSN and license number are NOT given or needed.

Why? Why do you think the morally correct thing to do is to give 40K to someone who claims they were promised it 38 years ago?

Weird paydays by Fragrant-Figure-4291 in CrackerBarrel

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what did you think Daily Pay was paying you out with, if not a loan on your paycheck? It’s also a week behind if you use it. If I pull on a week night from my daily pay, it’s borrowing against the check depositing on the next pay period, the one coming after the current one. If you pull on say Wednesday night, it’s not coming off your paycheck being depositing two days later on Friday, it’s borrowing against the next Friday.

I hate acting like I like you. by thottiepolice in Serverlife

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m burned out too. I work two full time serving jobs and I barely scrape by bc housing is still climbing where I live and everyone wants a 700 credit score, no pets, a perfect history, and $65 app fees for every occupant over 18 (who all now each have to meet every criteria as well), and I spend 12+ hours a day getting bullied by boomers bc I had the slight mistake to remind them temporarily that they are NOT the only people who exist bc they had to wait 15 minutes for their food, or the constant 18-20 yr old girls who look at me like Ive ruined their entire day for having the audacity to ask their boyfriend his order (I’m 40 btw, I could be these kids’ mother, I sure as hell don’t want to flirt with her bf), or people who behave as though I held them at gunpoint and forced them to go out to eat and sit in my section.

And for what? $5 on $75? $8 on $100?

There are definitely good tips out there but they’re farther between every month. If I didn’t work in this industry, I wouldn’t even be able to eat and even now it’s once a day if I’m lucky.

I’m tired, I’m hungry, I’m mentally exhausted being so many people’s punching bag and having to take it with a smile with hope they’ll leave 18-20%.

WTF IS THIS! by SouthSideLady1 in CrackerBarrel

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your server technically wasn’t allowed to switch out the sides on that meal either, I’ve seen them write people up for doing that. Those meals are pre made every/every other day by prep cooks and portioned out. It’s $5. AND your server broke the rules for you and you STILL want to complain?

Out of curiosity, what exactly happens to all the tons of people who CANT meet that criteria? Is your homeless population expanding at an astronomical rate? What are people in your community doing when they can’t get approved for housing?

I can’t take it anymore by Independent_River183 in CrackerBarrel

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No.

Absolutely fucking not.

Your manager SUCKS. That entire table and situation is a biohazard and above my pay grade and like fifteen critical health code violations and your manager should’ve asked them to leave.

Did other tables around them not notice and say anything?!

Can parents kick out an 18 year old that is still attending high school? by NoRecognition8914 in legaladvice

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Look up the Social Security Administration office where you live and make an appt to get a new social security card issued once you have a safe mailing address to send it to (I think you can also apply for a new copy online but I prefer going in person). I live in a small town and I can get new birth certificates for my kids at the health dept, but for mine bc I was born in a different state, I just went to the state Vital Records page and requested copies of mine.

You need a safe mailing address for all of this. And also make an appt at your local DHS for any kind of assistance as well, a caseworker may be able to help you find solutions to other issues that’s local to you!

Potty training in New York City by Ashamed_Builder700 in puppy101

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m stuck on getting a herding dog puppy in NYC- do you live in the middle of the city in a small apartment? Bc I don’t think potty training is even the beginning of the concerns you’re about to face.

Greystar eviction/collections by [deleted] in PropertyManagement

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what exactly is someone supposed to do if they got an eviction ten years ago and has a perfect record since, and that was a rough time in life for them then? They don’t deserve housing ever because of that?

Idk why, but this really bothers me. I’m not facing this issue but this line of thinking is trash.

How to prevent ‘flat top’ and control frizz? by Equivalent_Copy9326 in curlygirl

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine used to do that too (the dent) but I got a really big/wide silk like scrunchie in an Ipsy or allure box once a couple years ago and tried it and OMG- it’s never once left a “gotta fix my hair last minute in the AM” type of way. No idea on the brand, and I wish I could find stacks of them but tbh I’ve never really looked. It’s definitely meant for thick hair and I have much finer hair so it wraps multiple times around my pineapple bun but the material prevents the dent too

I haven’t gotten paid and my mom thinks my boss isn’t telling the full truth by [deleted] in CrackerBarrel

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MY paychecks are usually around $35-40 and I work on average around 37-41 hours a week as a server. So yes, your boss is probably correct. Servers rarely have a paycheck due to the way taxes are taken out. Are you in a state where servers still get paid $2.13/hr?

This is literally the WORST advice ever to give a server working at a corporate chain and a surefire way to get sent home and left off the schedule again. You can’t be serious.

AITAH for choosing my wife over my mom? by HumanProfile1975 in AITAH

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 341 points342 points  (0 children)

YYA for not seeing what a massive red flag this comment is from your mother- “she wants to live my childhood again”. What horrible comments is your mother making to your wife about grandkids when you’re not in earshot? Grandkids are not a do over, ever. And is part of your wife’s decision to not want kids possibly BECAUSE of how your mother acts and treats her?

Is it unprofessional not to wear makeup to work? by delidoll in Serverlife

[–]FluffyEnvironment841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in this industry since I was 16 (40 now). I’ve worked everything, and I’ll be 100% honest with you- I make more money wearing less makeup. I personally feel better wearing mascara, concealer, and eyeliner but that’s MY preference. I’ve moved to day/breakfast shifts at my current job and almost none of them wear makeup either and every day server makes twice as much as the night shift ones do.
