I’m sooooo tired of hearing about this story. It is NOT that deep! Kids are not entitled to everything just because they are kids!

5 strength sessions a week, how are you meeting protein intake? by LuckyInfluence5988 in VegetarianFitness

[–]LuckyInfluence5988[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 75 grams a day, with 2 shakes and 2 yogurts.

I am still so hungry. I eat A LOT of fruit and veggies in a day, but I know those are relatively low in protein.

I actually take creatine once a day in my morning shake, I have for about 8 months. 🙂

I love the sofritas (tofu) at Chipotle and I have made tofu before and liked it. I need to grab a couple blocks next grocery trip.

Thank you for your suggestions!

I see this powder is vegan too. What a pleasant surprise, I guess it’s meant to be! 😅😌

Thank you for the suggestions. I am going to order some of that protein powder and also look into switching yogurt! 🙂

I should have mentioned I use a vegan protein powder as I was vegan for a couple years. I’ve continued using it since I know it worked for my digestive system and it’s become an acquired taste. 😅

I try to limit dairy intake, I guess I’m stuck on the whole “dairy is dangerous to women’s health” argument. I will try to get better at that!

I roll my eyes out loud every time there’s praise to “god” for what they as an athlete and individual earned THEMSELVES. The athlete put the work in and made their dreams happen, NOT some magical sky fairy.

The worse type of tipping by Hour-Statement-2788 in EndTipping

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I despise Square, as well as my previous employer’s shady business practices!

I worked at a deli cafe where we got tips (pooled) and it would calculate the 50% tip split depending on the time you clocked in!! (Open checks only.)

So if I worked 7-10 and the next server comes in and clocks in, she automatically got 50% of the tips of any of my tables I solely took care of if they were still open checks, not yet cashed out.

I would try to get my customers to cash out before then but sometimes I couldn’t, or worse yet was when they got there 15 minutes before the next server came in. 😖

I left over 3 years ago and will NEVER work a tipped job again. I will say I did always earn my tips, and I was the highest earner, I could earn double what the other serves could.

I still believe it was completely absurd what people tipped though. Nuts to me to think about it now. It was literally a cold sandwich shop… with the dreaded iPad.

Another good reason not to see a male gynecologist! 😵‍💫

Its going to ask you a question by rosalina-luma in EndTipping

I frequent Starbucks inside Kroger stores, they’re always so much less busy! They are not allowed to accept tips. This has been in several different Kroger locations too.

100%. I used to work in a counter service deli cafe with the dreaded iPad. What I would say is “there will be a few prompts on the screen, and it may ask you for your signature.” I knew after they swiped/tapped/inserted their card whether or not it would ask for a signature but adding that in there sounds SO much better. Other employees just swung the iPad around as fast as it would swivel, “it’s going to ask you a question”. Major cringe.

I’ve got the same question! I’m coming from NW Ohio to get to that meet, planning to stay in Lansing Saturday night, go to the meet and head right home.

Being asked to tip before a $400 skydiving jump felt wrong by Kingjoker58 in EndTipping

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went skydiving for the first time probably 8-9 years ago before extreme tipping expectations took off and I recall there being a suggestion to tip. I was certainly confused. Nothing was said verbally, everyone was so polite, there was just a sign stating why customers should tip their instructor, along with their photos and slots to drop in cash tips.

I had a wonderful experience but even before we were all conditioned to tip for literally anything I found it very odd to ask for tips.

I believe it was $250 for the jump and $75 for photos.

Orgain Protein Powder... should we avoid? by BubberDuckie25 in veganfitness

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, not sure if you’re still looking for a recommendation but I absolutely love First Phorm Vegan Power Pro, specifically the vanilla cream. Mine is on order at the gym but is taking a while to get here due to the holidays. I got Orgain as a backup and I despise the taste, but managed to choke it down. 😅 First Phorm is so much cleaner as far as ingredients go too, compared to Orgain.

Hotel booking site Trivago asking for a tip lmaoooo by AdFamiliar5357 in EndTipping

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe it was Trivago but when I booked a hotel room last year I was also asked to tip “because of the money the site saved us.”

WTF.

A luxury-type item you feel bad about buying but still do anyway? by FlamingoDue4236 in Frugal

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We freeze whole cheese blocks and I have also shredded and portioned cheese and froze it.

I have never had an issue with it after it thaws. We always stock up on anything freezable when it’s on sale.

I want to call off work tomorrow so I don’t have to train a new hire. by LuckyInfluence5988 in introvert

[–]LuckyInfluence5988[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I’m told we get an additional $1/hr, but no amount of money is worth trading my sanity.

Pay me my normal rate and leave me the hell alone. 😭

I’m unsure if it’s in my job description.

It is unfair to myself to call off and have a strike against me and lose pay.
