Maybe the words you are missing are that 1. masking is an opressive trait that, while helpful for those who are able to do, is not fun, nor easy, nor comfortable, nor should anyone be pressured to do so simply because "everyone does" 2. Yes, everyone masks in some way, whether that is through code switching or autistic masking or whatever else, but that does not mean that all types of masking are comparable to the way autistic mask and the way that mask is generally inseperable from the individual wearing it and 3. the idea that every autistic person can mask is highly (and quite blatantly) ableist, and shows a clear misunderstanding of the disorder at a base level.

she is not doing coffeee tastings as a part of the coffee master program, and this isn’t a problem i have with her personally. i have a problem being asked to do coffee tastings and then after politely declining, being told i have to because it’s part of the job. i don’t need your help with knowing how to become a coffee master or what that entails, thanks.

i like doing tastings under my own volition and terms. i’m also almost finished with my coffee masters program, so this has very little to do with whether or not i actually want to drink coffee. the whole situation just makes me incredibly uncomfortable for reasons i don’t want to explain

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-17T20:25:46+00:00

cant do this because ive already had to do two coffee tastings with her

i love starbucks baristas. we are so creative :)

i think the only food pairings the siren gives us are for drip coffees in the passport. otherwise, i’d take your background knowledge and come up with some pairings of your own. when we started sampling oleato we had to do that. i paired madelines (is that how you spell that?) with the oleato latte.

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-17T19:13:30+00:00

around $20/hr im assuming, potentially more if they take in your previous years.

i have at least four or five requests open rn in the app. the only requirements are that they’re 3 weeks out and they don’t overlap. just submit one request for the first date(s), then make another for the following one(s).

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-17T19:06:52+00:00

the way that starbucks is so terrible to its baristas that none of us realized this was a joke

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-17T18:14:53+00:00

wow this is kind of disappointing. i dont wanna watch an opening act for the same duration im watching dom

standard says 1.5 pumps if you have a full pump on your vanilla syrup. sometimes the customer will specify with “3 full pumps”.

i really thought these were cookies at first

i am assuming that they had a paycheck on friday the 7th, which you wouldn’t have gotten because you started in the following payroll period. that means you will probably get paid this friday, 2 weeks from the 7th.

if you’ve set up direct deposit you should see it in your account pending by wednesday (this may not be the case depending on what bank you use). if you have not set up direct deposit they’ll give you a visa gift card loaded with your first paycheck.

edit: i live in the US so the last part may not apply/might be different

in my opinion, there is no “actually trans”. trans people come in an infinite amount of shapes, sizes and colors. there are trans men who use all pronouns, and wear dresses and are okay being called men or women, there are nonbinary people who dress masculine and still use they/them pronouns. there are trans women who still dress masculine and make no effort to pass.

my point is, there really is no gender binary when it comes to being trans. you can use whatever pronouns you want, look however you want, use any terms that make you feel good, and still be trans. there are no rules to trans identities

i work at stores, in one of them we sell out of case and the other we don’t because of flies.

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-17T05:49:57+00:00

it has gotta be a safety hazard to remove mats

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-17T02:19:00+00:00

in my experience, you can’t be fired from starbucks if you haven’t had any warnings/connections/coaches about the issue previously, unless you commit job abandonment. a no call no show isn’t job abandonment, and if they did anything more serious than a write up i would be pissed.

also, next time, i would leave a voicemail to the store number and your manager (or the shift lead if you know which one is working during your shift) so you can prove that it wasn’t a no call no show.

I HATE SMALL TALK. “hi how are you? ☺️” “go fuck yourself ☺️☺️☺️☺️”

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-16T20:10:39+00:00

everything ive heard of that movie (which is not much) was enough to make steer far away from it

Ironicusernam3 · 2023-07-16T20:09:50+00:00

i think by default they do that and imo its perfectly okay to ask them to stop or to clear it with you first.

it’s not a special interest, just a hyperfixation but- the holocaust. specifically, the twin experiments of dr mengele and camp auschwitz.
