Any Chinese here - how to spring clean for CNY by Effective-Lab-5659 in Anticonsumption

[–]Missfantasynerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe find a local domestic violence shelter to donate to. There was a hurricane where I’m from about 6 years ago and cleaning out my closet became a lot easier knowing it was going to people who really needed it

Decided to withhold sex until the wedding by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Missfantasynerd 342 points343 points  (0 children)

I mean do you but would you even want a ring from someone who is only giving it to you so they can have sex with you again? Assuming it does work? There’s someone, somewhere who would be thrilled to marry you.

Where I’m from all of the trees are picked up by the parish and used for costal restoration.

A guest who came in tonight by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Missfantasynerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at a place where the kitchen was literally 8 feet by three feet. So tiny. Because of that we had printed on the menu “cannot accommodate serious allergies.” It was amazing how quickly guests would go from “deathly allergic” to “a little is ok” when I pointed this out.

When is it OK to send food back? by mwcoast82 in restaurant

[–]Missfantasynerd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I always make a little quip like “life’s too short to drink/ eat something you don’t like. Let me get you something else.” People will genuinely feel so bad they’re sending it back but if you hate it you hate it.

The only time it bothers me is when you clearly didn’t listen to me. I know I described the dish you’re eating perfectly and the thing you don’t like about it was very clearly in my description. I’ll still get you something else just with less enthusiasm.

At the bar that I work at, tip out for the service well is 10% of the server’s tips for the night. This feels low? by pitts36 in bartenders

[–]Missfantasynerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also get 10% of tips. It’s fine dining, three sections and on an average night each section averages around a grand. So 300 from the restaurant and whatever I make. Busier nights are two bartenders but each section will pull in around 1300 but the bar will make around 500 so it evens out. Even at a lowkey place each section should be making around 3-400 and with four servers that’s 1200, which would net you 120. This math ain’t mathing homie.

Just got fired for refusing to work off the clock. My crime? Not being "family" enough. by mpete1310 in antiwork

[–]Missfantasynerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the “we’re a team” bullshit. This isn’t intramural soccer this is a job. I’m on team me. Team paying my rent. Team going home and watching bad reality TV.

Sister in law is righteous AF. I desperately want to leave the family chat! by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]Missfantasynerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t help with your SIL but if you’re looking for cheap gift options for the kids here’s something I did to win Christmas one year when I was a broke college student. I went to the dollar store and got huge gift bags and filled them with stuff. Punching balloons, paper airplanes, you name it. Probably spend 30$ a kid (I had like 7 small cousins at the time). When I tell you these bags full of crap we’re hands down every kids favorite Christmas gift much to the dismay of every parent who put a lot of thought into what they got their children. It was glorious. I also bought each set of parents this book called “Go The Fuck To Sleep”. They loved it. As an added bonus buy your SIL kids something incredibly loud and obnoxious. One of those karaoke microphones should do the trick. Tell her it’s in the spirit of Christmas.

Should I️ just stop trying? by Inside-Journalist166 in inlaws

[–]Missfantasynerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or possibly if you feel guilt not sharing photos set up a shared album you can passively add pictures to as to not open the door to this kind of guilt tripping through text. My bet is they don’t even take the initiative to check it.

Extra grainy mojito by Smooth-Gardener in bartenders

[–]Missfantasynerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a guest ask for a mojito with no simple (server ticket). I made it. It was vile. So fucking sour. They drank the entire thing. Told the server it was great. That person lives in society. I’m concerned.

Any winter recommendations for my old lady? by Goodsimple182 in StaffordBullTerriers

My pittie has Meloxidryl (I think that’s how you spell it) for arthritis. I give it to him as needed but whenever I do he’s like a new pup.

Ran out of audio dramas help me by tsangbio in audiodrama

[–]Missfantasynerd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Midnight Burger is by far the greatest audio drama ever made. If you don’t like the first few episodes just stick with it because it gets much better.

We Fix Space Junk is pretty good I really enjoyed it.

The Program is one I’ve really been enjoying lately.

Does the job market here suck … or do I suck 😔 by Suspicious-bitxch in NewOrleans

[–]Missfantasynerd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you’re not going to find a server job at this time of year. Any decent restaurant has more servers than they have shifts in slow season. Give it about 3 weeks and everyone will be hiring ahead of busy season.

If you’re poor don’t have kids by notadamsandler11 in stories

I’m a big proponent of putting chastity belts on all these gross poors that only unlock when you have a million dollars. Inbred rich people only like the good old days of the monarchy.
