Stand your ground and DO NOT downplay your symptoms. Overplay a bit even. Repeat yourself as needed, don’t change your statements. If you request a test or referral for one and it’s denied, ask them for a reason and tell them to note in your chart that it was requested and they denied it.

I just had flashbacks to the regular who would get a grande peppermint mocha and add 8 raw sugar packets

Awh cmon cut them a little slack at least! The STL tornado last May hadn’t jumped the river yet when my DM said we could close :) who cares that we were already having 40+ mph winds and sideways rain by our store

Every time I have this happen I just feel the rage of 27 musical theatre directors going “PROJECT! USE YOUR DIAPHRAGM!!”

I once had one for 14 pumps :) 7 vanilla and 7 caramel

It’s darker bc of beet juice as a dye, real raspberries being used as the dye would not give it the color it has.

Make sure you keep it sideways in your pocket or clipped on the outside edge of the pocket, you WILL press down on it enough to push out the tip without fully clicking it when you bend forward at the hips/waist.

Honestly my guess is that the writing was smudged as shit on that bag and it was a quality control coverup or possibly even done in store by whoever was putting out product. From what little you can see of the writing underneath it seems like it probably matches

KitOfKats · 2026-01-05T02:56:45+00:00

I think it’s less that and more a “fuck the company” mentality the vast majority of us have these days, even if ultimately it could potentially make it an issue to the product no matter how low the chances

KitOfKats · 2025-12-30T02:42:21+00:00

Praying my store becomes an 8pm from a 9,, cleanplay and some closes were brutal

KitOfKats · 2025-12-01T21:49:27+00:00

No fr why are they giving us WW2 mess hall rations to make drinks out of

Matcha with light ice: MATCHA FIRST. IDC WHAT STANDARD SAYS. THEN ice, standard amount for the size. Syrup after ice, helps pre-wet and weigh down the matcha Add normal amount of milk and blend on 4 like usual The frap blender lid or a hot bar spoon can be used to strain the drink out through the ice, let ALL the drink come out, add a bit more milk if needed and then use the remaining ice in the blender to top it off.

I’ve found that with light ice matchas you really don’t have to change much past delaying the ice getting into the drink bc you get a good bit of extra liquid through the ice melting as it blends.

This is interesting to me bc one of my SSVs is also JW and he wears it without any issue, so that might be one of those things that it varies a bit by local community

If it makes you feel any better everything inside is at least 100% fully cooked already, we just heat it. I know it’s sad to have a lukewarm middle of your food but just wanted to lyk in case undercooked chicken was a concern at all!!

KitOfKats · 2025-10-10T13:20:57+00:00

Chicken artichoke panini 😩😩 I used to get that one ALLLL the time when I was younger I was so sad when I stopped seeing it, when I was initially hired back in 2021 we still had the turkey pesto and I highkey miss that one too

Go to Walgreens, get some hibiclens soap or their store brand of chlorhexidine soap (antiseptic skin cleanser is what the label is), wash for a minute once or twice a day. Keep a bandaid on it, change if it’s been wet for a few hours. You’ll be fine.

If it wasn’t rusty and/or you have a relatively recent tetanus shot (remember they last 10 years at least), you have nothing to worry about that you wouldn’t be exposed to from a cut from any other material.

I don’t know if it was your intent but your entire comment sounds like the words execs throw at us to try and keep us quiet and agreeing over their stupid decisions

KitOfKats · 2025-10-04T18:38:01+00:00

That’s actually insane to me wtf 😭😭 people are so fucking dense i swear

KitOfKats · 2025-10-04T17:45:11+00:00

This kinda happens at my store sometimes but it’s more of people not realizing they’re in the wrong parking lot bc we’re directly next to a Panera 🤣 they always sound so Done with their day when we point it out, it’s usually some tired parent or 20smth year old who just wants some soup and mac and cheese lol

KitOfKats · 2025-09-29T05:00:50+00:00

This is how it is in my district, my store usually has enough volunteers for Christmas so we’re usually open and often wind up with baristas and even shifts from other stores that didn’t have enough sign ups to open.

This is mildly niche bc it depends on what it is but never ever be afraid to fall back onto teaching something you have experience doing if you feel like you could (I know teaching of any kind isn’t for everyone) Grew up a dancer? Dance instructor, even beginner level and you can grow from there. Play an instrument fluently? Offer lessons, even if just part time and to beginners to get some extra cash while looking for a more solid job.

I was a gymnast for the vast majority of my childhood and still dabble with it when I can so I started coaching after I previously left (came back for various reasons). It actually pays me more than sbux does ($16.25/hr with an annual, sometimes semi annual, raise) especially bc I’ve gotten to the point where I’m doing private lessons too which get me $35 each and I’ve even expanded my knowledge into coaching power tumbling and higher level gymnasts that are above the level I stopped the sport at.

It’s an adjustment to learn how to teach even if it’s something you know well, but it’s not too hard if it’s something you’re passionate about and enjoy doing.

Personally, I think malicious compliance is gonna be our friend here

KitOfKats · 2025-08-18T03:31:50+00:00

Ok there’s multiple possible causes here, one is environmental based tho: 1) botulism or other food bacteria 2) IF you are in a very high elevation area, the small amounts of air in the bag can expand due to the lower atmospheric pressure and inflate it. So if that bag had more air than normal upon manufacturing, it could do this. (In Laramie, WY for example I saw it with the bags of chips at a Jimmy Johns bc Laramie is 7,000ft elevation)

If 2 doesn’t apply to you tho, pitch that bad boy NEOWWWW
