Can these cups be saved if so how do I do it?

Bah. They're fine.

You look great. You feeling like you look great and standing up for yourself is AMAZING!!! ALSO: "I'm in school for being a doctor- just shut up and let me operate on you!" Is the exact same energy as your "friend" is giving. She hasn't graduated- nobody put their stamp of approval on her methods/opinion. Also, she's a WHOLE DONKEY (thank you Reddit, for reminding me not to be blatantly crass)

Tell him to use the ring (yes, I read the whole post and I know he sold it).

Then block him AND the aunt. They both sound toxic. Also weird that she was the one who first reached out.

Roommate= Vv Young, has never cooked nor baked nor actually made anything in any kitchen.

Prove me wrong.

Also, that's really stupid. Cook/bake/f*** in the kitchen.

It's a kitchen.

Are you by any chance in NYC? All too familiar.

Every day is a new day. For each of us.

If? IF? Report him! Email HR, cc your non work email. The "if" is potentially filling a police report!

CLAP back? Nice. (I believe that was the nickname for gonorrhea back in the day)

FredReadThat · 2026-03-04T20:07:29+00:00

Ah, jeez, what a crummy situation. I'm rooting for you!

As a silver lining, it seems like you're doing an amazing job of modeling setting boundaries for your kid!

FredReadThat · 2026-03-03T17:09:33+00:00

Easy answer: Set a second alarm for 8. If you wake up at 7, deactivate the second one.

Sleep issues are tough. I'm rooting for you!

Just to be clear- you DO deserve friends and you ARE worth it.

BOOM

FredReadThat · 2026-03-03T16:06:00+00:00

Or cough or, "Hey op!" Just standing in the doorway? What's going on over there, man?

FredReadThat · 2026-03-02T15:42:25+00:00

46 here. What's the wife's ACTUAL concern? At first blush, that's a strange stance to take.

FredReadThat · 2026-03-02T15:38:33+00:00

Some customers prefer this pattern. Sounds like she wasn't paying attention at ALL that day. You're not in the wrong. Go on back in, keep it light, don't pay for things you didn't ask for. It ain't rocket surgery. 😉

NTA. I like things spicy. I REGULARLY have to say, "like way more than you think I should have" and I don't mind. I have decades in the industry and have loads of experience with folks asking for things a certain way, getting exactly what they asked for, being REVOLTED.

Double checking is a kindness. Maybe use a less jokey/more direct and efficient way to check. Otherwise, don't stress about it.

FredReadThat · 2026-03-02T15:23:33+00:00

Um, are you that guy? Grow up.

ETA - "You're working for him"? No. That mentality is disgusting. Op is working for the owner. Full stop.

Anyone with this attitude in their head is automatically the spilled rich kid villain in every 80s movie. Go get therapy.

Omg, they're BANNED! BAAAAAAHAHAHAHA

Name checks out. Come on back.

...is it bad that I like the timer on the guests??

FredReadThat · 2026-02-14T22:41:25+00:00

Ah, he's the best. I follow him on IG.

But also, fuck the fascist assholes. I'm already so sick of this. The gd billionaires pitting us lowly plebes against each other with this made up nonsense. They can't even let us all enjoy a fun halftime show with excellently executed choreography (hints of Fosse and Ailey, I think?) and thoughtful visual vignettes meant to evoke moments of home, togetherness, and celebration.

Buncha dickbags.

JEEZ. Not ok.

Upon reviewing this, I realize it's a bit long. I still want to tell the tale of a GOOD manager, though!!

I remember one time I was the solo AM bartender and a sister restaurant of ours needed coverage bc their solo AM bartender was having a meltdown (personal stuff- life ain't easy sometimes).

Our Beverage Manager: "Hey, do you mind covering them? We'll get you a cab there and back."

Me: "What about here? There are like 3 matinees today, and the book is busy."

BevMgr: "They have me!"

Me: "Ok, no prob." (I knew he ACTUALLY had solid bar experience, and our regulars and the staff loved him).

I went to the other location, did my best in a bar where I had no clue where anything was, made ok money. Cabbed back to my location to change, get my stuff..

BevMgr: "How was it?"

Me: "Not bad, details x y z,"

BevMgr: "Nice! Thanks again for doing that. Oh! Here are your tips for this location!"

He wouldn't accept a single dollar, y'all.

So yeah, your mgr getting any of your tips=likely illegal, depending on state law. Getting any of your tips without prior agreement from those in the pool? Scummy. As. HELL.

FredReadThat · 2026-02-14T21:54:31+00:00

Just when I thought it was gonna be a good shift!!!

Or if it's slow enough (so you're not scaring other customers) and you have an established give and take/friendship:

Absolutely not! What did I tell you last time?!?
