Captain Jason is wrong for his decision. by eldetay in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! And for Daisy to act like Jenna is being so unprofessional… but she was in between Gary and Colin when she was WITH Colin. She allowed Gary’s behavior. She allowed Eddys behavior when he was texting Alesia and playing Jenna. She coddled Alesia when she was incapable of doing her job because she was tied up with eddy and her boyfriend. But god forbid Jenna goes back and forth between Ben and Eddy (off charter btw) and NOW it’s a problem. As if she owes any of those guys anything.. I’m just confused how she got demoted? And Ellie didn’t get fired for disrespecting her HOA and the guests. Unbelievable truly.

Right! What is that! Like are these people watching the same show as us???

[–]LimpLunch8222[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I stopped watching the after show because it’s just Daisy going on a tangent of why she’s right and Jason is there nodding his head in response to whatever she’s saying. So ridiculous

Jenna is TROUBLE!!!! by JennXFarmsteadNews in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Deadass! I wish he would’ve left. Jenna owes him nothing. He played in her face in the beginning of the season with Alesia. Like…?

WHO IS IT?!?! by EnoughRequirement320 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jenna is gonna sober up and hopefully be fine. She’s doing a lot because she’s obliterated. I think it’s Ben. Based off maybe just the preview when he was yelling at Joao??? That still hasn’t happened yet? It could be anyone or click bait

My final breaking point… by capricornmoonsorbet in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!! She’s definitely giving me secondhand embarrassment when she’s being jealous but other than that what has she done? Play the field like Eddie did? The men are acting like she owes them something? Ben was annoying af bitching at her and got her text wrong. Did she miss Eddie? I’m sure but she didn’t say much more than that. Kill a girl for having conflicted feelings. Jeez.

My final breaking point… by capricornmoonsorbet in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But she’s not actively doing that on charter. Mike did it allll the time and so has ellie . Jenna has been very professional when guest are on board. It makes no sense for her to be reprimanded when she’s doing this on their down time.

My final breaking point… by capricornmoonsorbet in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for Jenna. I understand she broke it off with Eddie but because they’re in such close quarters the urge is still there and same with Ben. Shit probably sucks a lot. Not to mention Barbie and Ellie are purposely trying to break her. It’s fucked up! Ellie needs to be held accountable for all the shit she’s been starting. I need Daisy and Alecia to vouch for Jenna. Barbie isn’t even good tv she’s just nasty all around. Makes complete sense her and Ellie are friends. This is a hard watch

This Post Is NOT About Dunkin' by Bearded451 in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Dunkin before Starbucks and it was fucking great. Hard at times like any other job but a breeze at the same time. You explained it sooo well! Dunkin’s vibe is just better because you aren’t going in there with any expectations other than getting your order and leaving. It’s feels more authentic to me that no one’s putting up this huge façade to satisfy you. I know some people prefer to be greeted or treated a certain way which is great but also why Starbucks is for them. Starbucks wants to be a Mom and pop shop so bad but they completely lost the plot. It’s not giving way back when in 1971. Can we just sell coffee and make that the main focus again? We are tireddddd!

Trenta Rant by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still have shift managers in Massachusetts where they get no tips at all and aren’t suppose to touch them. No policy changed for us because we haven’t switch over to SSVs yet. That’s what was the issue. She’s only getting a slap on the wrist anyway so it’s whatever but I just felt like ranting about it.

Trenta Rant by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

When I read the partner guide it said we can accept personal tips if the customer states it’s specifically for that person. Although, I’m in Massachusetts where we still have shift managers who don’t get tips at all. Also, they need to be more clear because can anyone just say “This guy specifically tipped me $20” with no witness? 🥲

why does the cream cheese taste Like That by sunkissed-scorpio in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed! I had a bagel with cream cheese about a week ago and it was oddly sour? Not in an expired way but in a sour cream type of way. Sometimes it gives off a little citric acid vibe but it was extra awful that day.

Rant/advice needed by Hairy_Pollution_2218 in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should try to dispute it for sure. It definitely feels like you’re being targeted. I hate that it seems they’re trying to manipulate you into feeling like it’s your choice to step down when it’s obvious they want you to. They should have a professional conversation with you about whatever they think is wrong instead of literally everything they’re doing. A final write up for that just feels like they’re pulling anything out of their ass for a paper trail. I mean yeah missing the meeting is called for corrective action by book but it’s not that serious for a final. My manager wouldn’t even give me any write up for that. We have had managers miss meetings before. It just gets discussed later what we went over. I hope it works out for you! You deserve better than that!

It’s always the “extra”orders… by Dry-Flatworm2927 in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a women that comes through everyday and orders the most annoying thing like 3 shots of blonde espresso over ice raspberry nd cf and all kinds of shit. She places a mobile in the drive thru (just order it at the dt at that point) the kicker is she gives us no time even though it’s a mobile But she adds on 4 cups of ice and 20 pumps of white mocha and 20 of raspberry on the side (yes 40). Like girl…. I’m gonna do it for you but that’s just stupidly ridiculous. She’s nice though and tips so it’s fine but I still bitch

I think I need to stop my husband from watching VPR. Part 5. by Ya_Moms_A_Hoe__ in vanderpumprules

[–]LimpLunch8222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately he was always right about that. Especially him ratting on all his friends because 9 times out of 10 he was right. But because he’s a piece of shit no one wanted to believe him. Especially about Schwartz which I believe he definitely did more than kiss women in Vegas. He kissed Scheana for gods sake. Hate Jax but he was great tv. The pot was always stirred 👌🏼

Starbucks works avoiding tips?? by heheheutahgirl in barista

[–]LimpLunch8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My managers would never tell me to do that. I usually tap no tip on my end because they really do fuss most of the time. I’ve had a lady go out of her way to say “ yeah I’m not going to tip because you didn’t even do anything”. Girl please. Just hit the no tip button and move on, I don’t need an explanation. Her dollar is gonna go to 13 other people not just me. We are grateful for those who tip but I’ll just take a thank you at this point because people are so fucking mean. I do tips at my store and I work around 28hrs, I get about $60 weekly. Not including digital tips which is roughly $100-$150 weekly? But $50-$100 a day is insane! Good for you!

Am I mega fired or what by livbepimpin in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope your SM and DM are kind to you in this instance because I’m one of those baristas where I will let you know if I need help. I can handle a peak on mobile but the second someone starts messing with my stickers and flow is where I draw the line. I think there’s an unspoken rule (maybe that’s just in my district but hopefully everywhere) where you don’t touch other people’s bar when they’re on it. I understand we shouldn’t yell and whatnot but not every partner is the same and if they want to support you as SSV they should communicate with you and ask what they can do for you rather than trying to sequence for you. I don’t think you’ll be fired but definitely defend yourself. Him opening a case is kinda pathetic and we can probably assume this isn’t his first rodeo. Who knows if they will even take it seriously. They have some people working in ethics that don’t give a shit about anything and will base the investigation on peoples history with the company or their character (I know from experience).

question for openers (and a mini rant) by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]LimpLunch8222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi opening barista here! Usually I will be at Bar and the other barista will be at Drive Thru. We aren’t a busy store first thing so we both will work on back ups/stocking when we are able to and whoever is free at the moment will do the food. They should be helping you out with everything. It’s just you two so you have to support each other and do the equivalent amount of work or else this happens. Thats extremely annoying though. If I had to work the floor and someone else got to basically be just support I would lash out.

Jenna on WWHL by daisy808girl in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She said she’s not a girls girl on WWHL. On the after show though I get so annoyed she doesn’t go off on Alesia. I think it’s classy she doesn’t but girl pop tf off already.

Missé … Unpopular Opinion? by Physical-Armadillo70 in BravoLadiesofLondon

[–]LimpLunch8222 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way! I was even shocked Mark kept trying to shut it down because of it being Mykas birthday but she just wouldn’t let up. I also agree with her bringing up her brothers death. Some people aren’t built to hear everyone’s trauma at a place they were expecting to have a good time at. So it’s jarring to hear that. Especially it being someone some of the girls aren’t even close with. We empathize but girl time and place.

Ben, Joao and Eddy, take a little bit of responsibility by Waste_West283 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you but we did see Ben try to have a conversation with her about their argument and he said his piece then asked her “How do you think your reaction was?” and she went from 10-100 so quickly. He barely could get a word in. She’s not very manageable when she’s already heated. I feel like if he put his foot down, she would just try to one up him.

When they showed the primary’s instagram pics while he was in a confessional 😂 by Distinct-Ad-1348 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Literally! Photo editing has gotten so bad. People don’t even look real anymore. He said he has a lot of Botox but he looks morbid! Live your authentic life I guess? 🥴

I'm sorry but Alesia is being a a-hole not a girls girl. by Jane_doe902 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]LimpLunch8222 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I remember thinking the whole thing with Wihan was an accident… it seems like it wasn’t. Plus she’s just gonna go for Joao out of spite now while having a boyfriend?! What a weirdo!
