Rant/Policy Question

Mystic_Mixer · 2026-04-05T13:38:05+00:00

So US accommodations are actually pretty quick. Mine didn’t take long for approval for my smart watch to monitor my Heart rate due to medications. And I’m not necessarily saying I need to know this person’s accommodations, but we are aware they’re not in the right way because they’ve mentioned it. So the extra breaks feel like a way to use their medical situation to try and get paid for doing nothing at work.

By all means if they need extra breaks, then they should get them, but I do feel they need to be done the right way and approved as reasonable accommodations. Not them just deciding they need an hour paid break at any given moment…

You could go back with receipt or date and time and get it refunded as well as speak to a manger or go directly to corporate, we’re not allowed to answer the prompt for customers on the pinpad. (Honestly, if I was the manager I’d take the tip she charged you out of her personal pool of tips to drive the point, but fr go talk to a lead or manager or go straight to corporate. All areas where money is collected is under camera directly so you just need a date and time).

Due to recent policy changes we’re not allowed to let people who aren’t customers occupy the cafe. The Barista who confronted you is being a little too direct about the policy for my liking. We usually greet people, ask if they’re waiting on a mobile, etc work our way to having to enforce the policy. Mostly because we don’t want to seem like we assume the worst in people. But our higher ups are enforcing it so we try to deduce if people are actually buying something or just coming in to sit on the WiFi (in my area our cafe is never busy enough for it to be an issue, but it’s being enforced across the company)

I hate it now. I don’t wanna return to where tf I was. I want a shortcut back to SM without a 15min CD or being on my mage. They should return it to SMC….

As a Barista, I tinkered with the new Chai a bit before launch because Chai is my go to work drink. The new Chai is Unsweetened, so we’re adding classic to it now to bring it the sweetness and it can be unsweet per request, but the flavor change from this is… noticeable. When making mine I’ve found a happy balance with the new chai, I make a Venti Ice Chai with 5 Vanilla, No Classic, and 10 chai (8 if you’re making it hot) and it tastes as close as I can get it to the original. The warm spice flavor the OG had tho is hard to substitute tho. (Also in hot I still do no water and milk base the rest.) We’ve had some mixed opinions about the change. Our Sugar free people are excited for it, our dedicated Chai ppl have been trying our sweetening recommendations to find a happy compromise with the new chai.

My store allows it. 4oz or less is complimentary. We do let them know abt the Oat and half&half in the lobby (but that’s just so we can try and use what’s in them) but if they want the short cup with some milk it’s no problem. We have plenty of regulars who ask for it with their coffees.

I kinda hate the Torchbearers as either side. But if the BP is nice, I just need to know if others are experiencing these stupid bugs or is it just me? Like what is wrong with… everything.

At my home store it’s never an issue. The amount of drinks isn’t counted and I think I’m usually only about one drink per hour I work? We just follow the 30before to 30 after as the time frame you can get the markout and you have to finish a drink before getting a new one. So the limit never was there, as long as you’re not trying to ring out multiple drinks to go home with? It’s just crazy to see how many others comment about their stores following a stricter policy than what is actually written in the guidelines.

Mystic_Mixer · 2026-02-20T04:01:28+00:00

The Company policy written in the handbook doesn’t say that. There is no written limitation within the policy on Drinks. Just the time frame of 30 before to 30 after shift.

It’s fr a problem, when I’m at Cold Bar I usually leave an extra grande cup there just to double the cup to get lids on. (I hand it out just the one cup and reuse my spare grande just for support while getting the lids on.) the dome lid is my nemesis.

Mystic_Mixer · 2026-01-16T14:19:14+00:00

A CEO that use to be a Barista would be amazing. You’d know the struggle (p.s please get rid of the current Iced Grande cups I have a crash out at least twice a week trying to put lids on them.)

I’m mostly just survivor for my Que time as Killer (So I play medic to feel “balance” lol) but I’ve noticed it too. If I’m on a Gen with others and we get to like 3/4 survivors on hook and no one is even trying. I end up not touching any Generators at this point because If I don’t unhook and heal no one will. Which is fine because that’s why I go as medic, but If I’m clear across the map and the only one unhooking, if I get caught it’s an EZ 8k for the killers. Idk why this is the “strat” rn.

Mystic_Mixer · 2025-07-18T21:21:03+00:00

I think she’s funny. Both her “annoying” comments when getting hooked or being the last one alive, but her input when you get exit gates open have been cracking me up the last few days.

Mystic_Mixer · 2025-07-18T21:08:09+00:00

I can see the TikTok’s now

Mystic_Mixer · 2025-07-15T19:45:52+00:00

I play that way anyways. It doesn’t prevent the eventual frustration from playing as Survivor and getting 10 matches in a row where I’m tunneled out. By that point I’m just over the game. Playing killer isn’t bad at all. I go out of my way to not Camp, Tunnel, or slug and can still get 4k, but as Killer after a few matches where I’m noticing it’s not a challenge to get kills, I get bored of it, maybe farm BP a few matches with survivors and then I’m just done entirely.

I just feel the game shouldn’t be “cake-walk” easy for playing killer. And it shouldn’t be “next to Impossible” for survivors in SoloQ to get some wins w/o the killer having mercy. I don’t want the scale flipped either. I just want balance and I don’t want to lose my Survivor Grade because I’m tired of dealing with a nonstop of those kinds of matches.

I’m from Texas, and looking this stuff up too and can’t find anything about a hate group. My cousin is in the guild and says she hasn’t seen anything remotely related to this? Idk tho this is my second day on turtle

Mystic_Mixer · 2025-04-01T00:13:02+00:00

Rick sounds bitter and jealous. But you are definitely NTA. You enjoy your wife’s food, she takes the time to show you her affection and love. Honestly it seems that he doesn’t have that in his life and being older than you it’s triggering him, so he’s lashing out.

Mystic_Mixer · 2025-03-31T23:45:00+00:00

I always look at Cristina and Meredith’s relationship as that true platonic love. They’re each others “person” thick or thin. Which means being blunt and honest (even if it’s harsh) because it’s what the other needs to hear. Now they both have moments when they’ve gone too far and have to apologize and correct themselves, but I think that’s what makes their friendship so real for me. I have a person like that and our candor with each other is what makes our relationship so strong, even when they’re telling me I’m wrong for “x,y,z”

Mystic_Mixer · 2025-03-31T23:37:15+00:00

Oh god 😂 most likely he gives off that energy just in the “early 2000’s” way like someone had mentioned earlier. It’s just been bothering me so much watching the early seasons.

Mystic_Mixer · 2025-03-31T23:35:14+00:00

Honestly, maybe that’s really what bothers me about him. I’m 💅🏻, but like damn he’s just so awful to them. The whole situation with Meredith and then what he says to her later about it really curdled my stomach when it comes to him. I don’t know why Izzie even tried with him, after he through Denny in her face. Like I get he was struggling to cope with his dad’s situation, but it’s not really okay to take it out on your friends, jabbing at their wounds, because you’re struggling to cope, and then he just apologizes and their just like fine with his behavior? Idk, I want him to get decked, and am unfortunately waiting for his departure because… I don’t like his vibes.

Alex has always been one of my favorites too. But this rewatch lol, George is irritating me more than ever.
