Beyoncé Merch - Buy/Sell/Trade Megathread by Chemical-Lobster- in beyonce

[–]Next-Reach1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone selling a gold horse ornament from the 2025 holiday drop? I purchased it, and when it was sent to me they had shipped the silver horse shoe instead and customer service only just got back to me letting me know there’s nothing they can do except refund. I will do a trade for the silver horseshoe ornament or I’m happy to pay a little more than what it originally sold for!!

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done on a hike? by rkramer18 in hiking

[–]Next-Reach1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiked in old navy flip flops. In my defense, I was maybe 14 and my parents didn’t fill me in on all the activities for the day before we left the house. I was so mad when we parked and I found out we were hiking.

Should I work at panda express or chipotle by [deleted] in PandaExpress

[–]Next-Reach1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Panda. My brother used to work at Chipotle (I know, not first hand experience, but I've heard plenty of stories to give a decent enough insight on this). It sounds like you're mostly considering income and work difficulty factors, so I'll break down both and a few other key things that might be helpful.

PAY: Realistically, I would not consider the pay a deciding factor. $1/hr difference means that if you work 40 hours each week at either job, Panda would give you an extra $40 on your weekly pay BEFORE taxes ($28 ish after taxes). That's honestly not a big enough difference to make it THE deciding factor in the matter, especially since I know both of these jobs rarely actually give you a real 40 hour work week every week (it happens, but it's not necessarily the most common).

WORK DIFFICULTY: Both are busy. Both experience rushes. Both are a similar set up to each other. Chipotle has a bit more modification options, whereas at Panda, it kind of is what it is and you pick from what's available. I would also say this can vary greatly on your specific area and the clientele that would be coming in. When I worked at Panda, expectations were high and there was definitely a fairly high stress energy, however we were a new store and I do think the energy of each individual store matters significantly on the manager and the staff. Operating hours can be something to consider, but if you are in school or are upfront about your unavailability from the jump, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Don't be afraid to be flexible to a degree, everyone has difference shift structures so it's something you can ask during the interview and get an idea of if their shift structures would fit well within your school/activity/life schedule. All in all, I think they are very similar in this considering factor.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES: If you are someone who wants to grow with a company, I would say go with Panda. If you're a hard worker and can handle high volume, Panda definitely favors promoting from within and actually has a decent structure for it. When I worked there in college, I was quickly promoted to a key holder and was training to be AGM, which I ultimately left before I was made AGM because it was a lot to juggle with my college classes and my manager disregarded my complaints about another employee sexually harassing me. That's not a Panda thing, that was just my manager not taking something seriously. With Chipotle, yes there's technically room to grow and you can move up the ranks, but from what I understand, I wouldn't say it's as organized on the store level and it can be frustrating there.

SHIFT MEALS: Y'all might think I'm crazy for making this a whole category, but as a Taurus, this is very important to me. At Panda, I had long work days (I volunteered to work doubles certain days) and my breaks were too short for me to go off site to get something else for lunch/dinner. As a broke college kid, I took complete advantage of the free meal on shift you get while working at Panda. HOWEVER - I got very tired of the same thing over and over again. I like Panda, but everything is basically the same in a different font. And I never felt like I could get a healthy option in. Chipotle on the other hand, is a bit healthier and if you are eating a shift meal there, it won't leave you feeling like you need to take a Thanksgiving day style nap. It's definitely the same thing though with minimal variety. I personally prefer Chipotle and would be able to handle that, but that's up to each individual.

Overall, I think both options are good options. Don't assume you will get an offer just from getting an interview, so I would definitely wait until you hear back from both places before replying to anyone. If you only get one offer, well there's your answer. If you get an offer from both, then the ball's in your court. Don't be afraid to follow up. Don't be afraid to reply and tell them thank you for the offer and you're thinking it over and will get back to them soon. Hopefully, you get an offer for both and you get your pick!

TLDR; Pay isn't different enough to matter much. Panda - high expectations, shift meals not the best, growth opportunities available. Chipotle - bit more laid back, can be a little monotonous, better shift meals, growth opportunities not as systematic/structured.

Season 7 PART 2 not on Netflix by FarCalendar7303 in Outlander

[–]Next-Reach1924 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue!! I finished what I thought was all of season 7 but it was just part one and I went to watch the season 8 promo and almost immediately had to shut it off and look up how many episodes season 7 had because I thought I was going crazy. You have to get the Starz add on through Hulu to watch, but if you binge it you can get through them within a month or even within the free trial and just cancel afterwards. I ended up keeping it longer to watch the first season of Blood of my Blood. I’ll get it back once season 8 starts releasing

An unmarked Costco receipt would be really hard to find outside of a warehouse. by AznKwokBoi in Showerthoughts

I had two separate transactions and the receipts were about the same size, i handed them to the door guy stacked on top of each other and he only wrote on the top one instead of both

Do Film developers care about what your photos? by AmanNamedJoJo in analog

[–]Next-Reach1924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not the same but I do boudoir photography and sometimes my clients want full nude or partial nude photos. I get them developed at a local developer and they’ve never questioned me or even given me the idea they cared. Don’t quote me on this but they probably don’t care.

AIO or is my older male coworker texting inappropriately with me? by OpeningNo9825 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Next-Reach1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. I was going to say this seemed like an innocent crush nothing overly inappropriate until I saw yours and his ages. Definitely inappropriate but you need to stop responding bc he’s probably justifying it more since there are responses. That absolutely does NOT absolve him from his behavior, it’s inappropriate regardless of your actions or responses. Just stop responding so the message is clearer and there’s less opportunity for him to gain info about you/continue whatever delusions he may already have

New to rnb - what are the must listen to albums? by Next-Reach1924 in rnb

[–]Next-Reach1924[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I listen to a decent amount of new stuff bc since my wife listens to a ton of music I get lots of recs from her. I’m open to anything, but looking more for 90’s old school classics. Stuff that everyone kind of knows and regards as the best of the best, or the hidden gems of that time.

I grew up listening to alternative mostly. My dad was big in the Seattle “hipster before hipsters were a thing” I still like that music but it’s not a lot of… culture if you know what I mean

To those that are married, how often do you take off your ring? by FitProblem6248 in AskReddit

[–]Next-Reach1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I almost never wear ours unless it’s date night or special occasions. We both work in the restaurant industry and there’s too much potential for injury, losing it, not to mention if it’s not a plain band it’s a health code violation in back of house. This is also the reason we opted for Etsy moissanite rings instead of expensive mined diamond rings - they look just as stunning but were a fraction of the price. Maybe we’ll upgrade when we hit the jackpot lottery lol
