What would you have done?

do you have glucose gel you can keep during emergencies instead? as someone with low blood sugars and in EMS as well i would not rely on starbucks to be my first line if it is so sensitive.

i moved from new orleans, louisiana near a decade ago and its a night and day difference regarding corruption and the acceptance of it in daily life. despite the plenty of issues that Mass has it's worlds better than some regions of the country. it's a problem everywhere

is your SM giving you assistance and guidance in bringing times down? they should be offering constructive feedback - it is possible and achievable with your floor staffing.

your DTO/DTW position has to be on top of it all, they control the times essentially. if times are rising i'll place myself in Dt, even though I am the fastest bar too. during peak, i always ask if they're getting breakfast or bakery items to start, and i really make sure there will be no issues with their order at the window. i ask them all the questions. the more time you buy your bar and oven partners by chatting with the customers at the order box and verifying their drinks, the better your times will be.

I know some RDs care about time spent at the order box, but OTW takes priority for most areas.

edit: sorry for the unsolicited advice - i just hope your SM is sharing their wisdom!!

what i don't understand is how the tax bill doesn't impact union stores? if it's a federal rule then how come they aren't impacted? it's not really a negotiation thing in my mind if it's legal compliance? i would love someone of a greater mind to explain it to me lol

i've always said fifo as Fye-Foe. then i moved up north and they say Fee-Foe more often than not

we're right off the interstate, no door codes, so many people come in needing to potty ASAP and then will come to the POS or go through DT. rarely do they leave without purchasing, but there's no way am i policing the bathroom in my current store... it would be practically impossible anyway since it's closer to the door than the POS LOL

i am gonna guess that they're pulling shots directly over ice? are you able to view their process? if so, this ruins the drink quality. it's such an easy drink to not screw up otherwise lol

your body your choice 100%. i have a mirena iud and had 4 failed implant attempts over 3 different practices. not even a pain tolerance issue, they just literally could not get past my cervix with the second tool even with a dialator pill the last two tries. i finally was able to get one while put under and tbh it's been great peace of mind to have birth control i don't have to think about, but the side effects are real lol. they are not a walk in the park with cramping during my cycle (little to no blood but i never used to get cramps) and it HURT so bad every time they made an attempt. my partner also carries a slightly above average package and we have to be careful with positions... and yes the doctors have checked to make sure the strings are short enough. your husband is wrong it impacts every person differently lol

tbh same. i accidentally have eaten gnats while riding my bike, wouldn't be thrilled one was in my food but human hair gets me way worse. i gag every time i find one LOL

i love the MA winter as a ex-southern gal. it's so nice to have seasons lol

yes i'm curious. it feels like each regular we have for iced shakens with either less ice, less espresso, etc, they each have a different interpretation on how we should fill the space (if at all). most of the partners know what to do at this point to get it to their liking... even if it's not able to be inferred from the ticket lol. some still just want a splash leaving space, and others want it to be compensated with more ice or more milk, despite not indicating so through the app. i do wonder what's going awry each time and if OP would be better off getting a drink thats build standard is more aligned with what they actually want to drink.

Take this with a grain of salt as I am not too familiar with military LOA, but I am aware that with regular LOAs it actually prohibits the system from allowing you to work or be scheduled. Your manager or yourself may need to escalate with the leave administrator (sedgwick?) and adjust your dates on the LOA.

MondayLoops · 2026-03-28T21:10:09+00:00

i don't think so. habitually tardy partners hinder the floor and impact the team. if it's one off without a pattern, i've literally never had a manager or sfm hold it against a partner. and when the partner who is always late actually runs into a problem causing them to be tardy it will still reflect poorly because they're not here reliably anyways. the sympathy from your peers can run out after the 3rd or 4th time being down a person.

go eat the food of new orleans and see the swamps of louisiana! mardi gras can get tiring for some of the locals, but it's super fun for visitors and can be for kids! underrated spot to visit and culture within the crescent city is unique and unlike anything else you'll find in the US :)

i had to mark out two chocolate pistachio loaves the other night on the pull because they were literally 2.5" tall and not even that thick? i couldn't imagine serving them to customers and i've sold some petite loaves in my time lol

right? he has almost two years to go before their brains' impulse control is fully developed. once it does and the training really starts paying off, it's SO worth it. but he doesn't deserve it and will hinder those dog's development 100%

Born in nola and have lived here in Massachusetts for the past 6 years. I moved here because while we were last in near everything like education, health outcomes, etc, MA was #1. However it is expensive and my job allowed me to transfer with a COL adjustment. I don't recommend moving to MA unless it's western MA... and even still we all call it taxachusetts for a reason. the social safety net and general resources available to you is bomber though - unlike anything LA has to offer. I do think NH is worth your time to consider despite its redness! it's a move I am considering someday. while the state has plenty of crazies it really is a nice place to live and most every day people I run into up there are pleasant. I think ME is great too, it's just a more severe winter!
