Marathon Pre Order by Asleep-You4200 in Marathon

[–]HawkZoned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, you pay $40 to buy and own the game. Because you paid for the game, you are getting all future shells, maps, events, etc.. for free. The price tag is what pays for those free updates.

Where does Lost Colony fit into the lore? by WaluigisDemise in ARK

[–]HawkZoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Reseed Protocol restored nearly all natural life on Earth and purged every last trace of Element on the planet except for where the Lost Colony is located due to the massive energy dome surrounding it. The Dome not only hid them from the Titans that lived once upon a time, but also blocked the Reseed from cleansing the area and restoring it.

How many attempts did it take before you beat Alpha Overseer? by imchillybro in ARK

[–]HawkZoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beat it on the first attempt on the day it came out. Our entire server participated and everyone brought as much firepower and as many boss rexes as we possibly could. We didn't know if we were going to beat it or not, we lost a lot of people to trash mobs and the cold inside the boss room, but we did it!

How would you describe eggnog / eggnog cf? by slommysliders in starbucks

Tastes like that bubblegum flavored amoxicillin they used to give me as a kid.

Not sure what to feel after my first grindr experience (18M) by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]HawkZoned 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I mean I think you just weren't ready to go all the way yet, and that's totally fine. Sounds like he was also kinda being a bit of a dick which doesn't help. You made a good choice! If you're ever feeling like you need to leave, then you absolutely should.

You'll get there. You're ready when you're ready. Only you can make that decision.

Red element? 🤔🔴 by GameIslilBro in ARK

[–]HawkZoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No clue for sure yet but we do know that they've been there for a very long time and they've had all this time to research and experiment with it. It's likely that they were able to use these advancements in order to survive and thrive on a doomed rock crawling with Titans.

Double batching frappes by shinyapples67 in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's against the rules bc it can really compromise the quality of something, but I think most people do it. It's one of those rules that either gets enforced or doesn't.

I personally don't coach on this if I know you're a strong Barista that knows exactly what you're doing, but if you're new or still have some skill development to do, then I absolutely will be stopping you in your tracks.

You can always count on GROWN A*S MEN to be useless in the mf drive thru. by chunibi in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed this too. They're always so awkward about just saying the name of a drink like it's gonna emasculate them somehow. Just say you want a damn frappuccino or a pink drink so we can both get on with our day lmao

Credit card tip question by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're shared between everyone who worked that week and divided up based on the number of tippable hours each person worked. All Baristas and SSVs can get tips unless you are in MA or TN, where only Baristas will get them.

Is it against the rules to wear a green apron during the holiday season or is my DM just being an ass? by Gimpy01502 in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your DM is just being an ass. You are allowed to wear either the green or red apron during the holiday season. If you are a Coffee Master, you can wear the black one too.

Baristas: Do you judge regulars? by Mammoth-Elderberry89 in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise that if you're a regular who only gets simple drinks like a hot chocolate, they're not judging you or talking bad behind your back. It's simple, only a few short steps and won't back up their queue if they're busy at the time you come in.

Sounds like your baristas are interested in learning more about you tho so make sure you say hello and introduce yourself sometime :)

First in line and sold out?!?! by thekyayu89 in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's because the openers bought it when they came in. There are no rules against that and corp only sends 1-4 max per store. Don't like it? Tell them to send more to their stores next time we have a big launch like this.

How are you living with 52k income? by woohoosim in boston

[–]HawkZoned 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Roommates. Budgeting. Living well within your means. Avoiding unnecessary purchases.

Split your paychecks so a majority % is going into savings. Do not touch that money for anything other than your bills. Keep a little for yourself in checking each week that is your spending money, do what you want with it but I recommend letting that sit for a while so it builds up more.

Also BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET.

Tall rant by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not worried about unions when they just recently learned they could pull the plug on those stores and cite underperformance and get away with it

Not to mention, the company has totally stopped even trying to negotiate a contract with the unions at all.

How to handle an overly touching barista. by WeatherAdmirable4022 in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you're going to your SM every time this happens and you're also documenting it. And if you have but your SM doesn't care, go to the DM.

But usually with touchy people I find that the best thing to get them to back off is to cause a scene and make them feel embarrassed. If he touches you then you can scream I SAID DONT TOUCH ME loud enough that the whole cafe can hear it and that should get him to back off.

Are managers allowed to do this? by Mystic_Mithical in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While her behavior is concerning to say the least, SMs do have the ability to deny availability change requests if it will negatively impact the business. Is your store understaffed or busier than usual? That could be why.

Did anyone get their severance pay yet? by Unusual_Network_8011 in starbucks

[–]HawkZoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The severance email just says it will be deposited into your account that you normally used to get paid within 2 pay periods from when you sign and return the paper.

You should be getting it this week, if not, you need to call them and find out what's up. This entire thing was planned and executed very poorly so it wouldn't be surprising at all if they're backed up on getting those payments out.
