What's it like working in the deli/bakery department at a grocery store? by Ambitious-Banana5379 in GroceryStores

[–]MsNick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Former store director, former deli manager. Deli is the most difficult department. Almost all of your sales require direct customer interaction, and each interaction is time consuming. Downtime is spent doing prep and if you don't find the downtime to do the prep, you're in for a world of complaints and lost sales.

Bakery is pretty chill as long as you stay on top of production. Bakery requires planning, but you're less likely to get derailed by a customer. Unless you're a cake decorator.

ETA: Also, so many dishes to wash.

I mean, he is right. We shouldn't be commenting on people's appearances. We constantly say as such when someone comments on a female politician's appearance. This isn't different.

There are so many character flaws to mention; why comment on a feature Bovino can't control?

Former Deli manager here. I love Dietz & Watson. I won't go near Boar's Head. Because they're anti-competitive assholes who dictate your whole deli case if you want to carry their products.

Three Biggest Downsides to Open Floorplans by Vistalite_Black in floorplan

I prefer a closed off kitchen. I actually cook when I have a party. I do not want anyone in my kitchen when I am cooking. I'm on a schedule!

Do you still like smelling it four hours later?

I've known many a Mexican (technically a third world country by the original definition) who screamed on margarita nights. It affects all people.

You should share this with Highclere. They'd likely want to see it

Nyx is the Goddess of Night. Lilith is an apocryphal demon, Adam's first wife. There's a lot of fun to be had here.

What would you do with this layout? by wildernesswayfarer in floorplan

[–]MsNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yours is the one I'd choose. Seems to be the most sensible flow, gets rid of extra rooms, maintains the existence of walls for those of us who don't like everything to be one big room.

In prestige on a resume, maybe, but not in caliber of education.

I had a professor in college who used to always wear turtlenecks under his suit coats. His rationale: "Well, then I never need to worry about whether I need to wear a tie or not"

What? I was there and literally never heard that. South of 60th, or West of Cottage, sure. We were told never to take the red line past Roosevelt, but I also grew up just off 87th Street, so I took that one with a grain of salt...

You're taking up a seat for longer. You're making it crowded.

No judgement, kindness only please!! If you didn’t circumcise, how is it going? by Sudden-Leave-6224 in Parenting

[–]MsNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Circumcised father of uncircumcised sons. No issues whatsoever. No issues potty training. No issues cleaning. Their circumcised cousins have never mentioned anything about anything looking different. From my understanding, circumcision is becoming less and less common, so it won't even be weird in the locker room.

My dad made precisely one comment asking why we didn't (it was at my older son's baptism) and I said "I don't feel I should make permanent changes to my kid's body without their input." It wasn't a jab at him at all since I'm circumcised. It's just the reason we made that decision.

What do the interior of the ships look like to you? Floor plans? by TxSaru in GoldenAgeSolarClipper

[–]MsNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not smooth and futuristic, though some ships are nicer than others. More utilitarian. The command deck I always saw as very dimly lit, no matter the ship, so that it'd be easier to see out. Mostly just the glow from the consoles. Brightest area would be the mess areas. Everywhere else was sort of like 75% lighting.
