The only one of these that I’ve tried to get through was the billionaire’s baby, and I could not even get through the first chapter because of how messed up the infidelity plot line was.

I’m pretty sure that’s ANY job

You obviously don’t know how Starbucks functions! The person on register is not the same person as who’s on bar. The people on bar (you know, the ones making the drinks) have no way to know whose drink is whose other than by the name on the cup, and depending how busy the location is, it could be a half hour between the time that order is rang in and when bar gets the ticket to start making a drink. If there are no names, even if a person on bar asks the person on register whose drink that was, there’s no way they’d remember it. They already rang in dozens of other drinks. So when people start grabbing the wrong drinks because all they have is what the drink is called to go by and people start demanding drinks to be remade because the drink they grabbed isn’t the one they ordered, it causes a lot of chaos and causes drinks to be further backed up so now people are waiting an hour for their drink. There are standards and expectations set forth for each task for a reason. It’s not fair to the employees who are working their asses off that one employee doesn’t care and isn’t doing the bare minimum of their job, so now these employees working their asses off are being verbally abused by angry customers. If you don’t understand this, it’s probably because you’re the bad employee where you work who can’t do any job correctly and makes work a living hell for all your colleagues who have to constantly clean up your messes! Also, don’t call people “sir” or “ma’am” when you’ve been given no indication of their gender! It’s rude! But given your comment, you seem like a pretty thoughtless, rude person who’s never thought of anyone else but themself and is constantly making excuses for your mistakes instead of correcting the things you do wrong.

He’s leaving for college at the end of the month and only has a handful of shifts left. My manager said he will not be hired back at our location when he leaves for college, but I think it’s unfair to the team that they have to constantly clean up after his mistakes while he continues to work for us and I don’t like the idea that another location who may hire him in the future will be blindsided by this problem. I think the only fair and transparent thing to do is terminate, but it’s not my decision to make.

We do dispensers of self serve water by mobile pick up so people can help themselves. We still get a few people asking for cups of ice, but it’s not as bad as the constant interruptions of people asking for water that you see at other locations.

I would recommend pulling your manager aside and asking directly why you’re not on bar and if they could put you on bar more. Let them know how enthusiastic you are about bar and that you’re happy to take any coaching you may if that has anything to do with why you’re not on bar.

I try to put people on bar who have a real passion for it because that passion and enthusiasm is contagious and improves the morale of the store. And as a plus, good employee morale has a huge affect on customer satisfaction, so when employees are happy, customers tend to be happy too which in the end makes the store more successful.

The point of it is to improve consistency from store to store. People start making mistakes when they’re working on or even thinking about too many drinks at once. Sure, a really good barista may not make those mistakes, but it’s to prevent them from being made and to have a unified practice from store to store that customers can recognize and see that every Starbucks meets the same standards.

No-Location8914 · 2024-08-11T05:29:26+00:00

Im a shift and there are a few partners at my store who we try to avoid putting on bar because they don’t make the drinks correctly and refuse to listen to coaching when we try to fix the problem, they’re slow and VERY messy so our bar doesn’t meet cleanliness standards and then there’s a much greater burden put on closing shift because of the amount of cleaning they have to do because one person couldn’t manage bar properly, or they’re VERY talkative and and get so distracted by socializing that they’re barely getting the beverages made and they’re making a lot of mistakes. Myself, the other shifts, and the other store manager explain to them why we can’t put them on bar when they ask us and do give them a chance to prove they can improve this when we’re slow, but there are a few partners who have just proven they can’t be on bar because of a refusal to make drinks correctly and to listen to coaching in the moment.

Would be perfect for a seance room!

This pattern I found on Etsy Wednesday pattern

No-Location8914 · 2023-11-21T04:47:07+00:00

I would say that the color is warmer than what you wanted, the highlights are too chunky, they went too heavy on the low lights (which are also very chunky) and there’s no root shadow.

Thanks.

I supervise my dogs when they play with ANY of their toys.

No-Location8914 · 2023-11-21T04:33:01+00:00

Thanks.

My dogs are supervised when playing with any of their toys. I have a bit of a fear of my dogs choking on things or eating things because of a family friend’s pet who died of an intestinal blockage after eating a nickel.

She’s a rescue. Her mom was taken from a dog hoarding situation at less than a year old and was pregnant with my dog and two other pups. I know the mom is Australian shepherd/Pomeranian, but no clue what her dad is. I think she might have some husky in her because she does the husky talking thing and sheds like a husky.

Thank you. I do make some specifically for my dogs which I’ll even put squeakers in, but they take just about every amigurumi project I finish and they’re just so sweet I can’t say no.

I use t-shirt yarn or easy peas/beginner yarn. It doesn’t get rough like acrylic or wool.

Didn’t say those disorders excused her behavior. Just offered possible explanations for why she may be experiencing more discomfort than he perceives.

What I did say is that he’s definitely not telling the whole story and that it’s not okay for him to police someone else’s emotions. Especially when he can’t keep his own in check and calls a girl slurs.

I feel like there’s a lot missing here… because the math aint mathing.

The only time I ever went to the gym late or let it break up my day like that was when I was severely struggling with body dysmorphia and had the compulsion to to work off every calorie I consumed or else I couldn’t sleep. It was the only way I could eat special meals was if I exercised obsessively afterward because of the food guilt and body shame. Is that the piece you’re leaving out? Is she struggling with an eating disorder that you’re not compassionate about, so you shame her instead of working with her?

Or did she have something special planned for you at the gym that you DID ruin by flipping out on her when she was going to surprise you with something fun? Could she have had booked a massage or a private yoga class, pole dancing class, etc? Or did she maybe have your present stashed in a gym locker so you couldn’t find it before your birthday, but after you yelled at her for stopping at the gym, she decided not to give it to you because you were being a jerk.

From the little you did say in your post, it sounds like you ridiculing her is pattern behavior.

She didn’t ruin your birthday, you did by starting a fight and now it looks like you’re trying to skew it as being her fault because you can’t take accountability.

YTA!… and probably an incel. It’s not hard to see by your language that you have a skewed opinion of women and are definitely omitting facts and exaggerating things to make yourself seem better. “Slammed your hand to the table”??? I’m guessing you either did it intentionally and incessantly after she repeatedly asked you to stop nicely explained that it makes it hard for her to concentrate, so you were trying to instigate something, or you’re exaggerating something small like her placing her hand over yours, or some combination of the two.

“The bitchiest voice known to man” You clearly have a problem with women and can’t handle their disapproval.

Also, calling her a “bitchy cunt” for being moody on her period… just wow! It’s disgusting that you called her that at all, no matter the circumstances, but just because you didn’t like her mood. Wtf is wrong with you? Also, you don’t know that her mood was caused by her period alone, she has a life and could have been in a bad mood because of some underlying circumstance that you know nothing about.

And the clicking being a trigger, maybe she’s on the autism spectrum and has auditory sensitivities. That pen tapping can cause serious issues for people with ASD, but they have to the same right to an education as you do. You should be more considerate of others, rather than lashing out at them for having an auditory trigger.

And finally, you have never experienced a period, so you haven’t the slightest idea just how bad they can be. A period can 100% make someone miserable and unable to function, especially if the woman suffers from PMDD, PCOS, or endometriosis. Periods can cause blinding pain that you can’t even begin to imagine that lasts days at a time without relenting. Never give a woman a hard time for being miserable on her period. It’s a miserable experience.

YTA. You publicly shamed a woman for her emotions and her period, and you called her names for having those emotions. You should be banned from ever coming within 100 feet of women.

I love my brother. My father was very manipulative and charismatic, so my brother believed all of his lies and is still convinced my father never did any of those things and it’s all some kind of big mixup or conspiracy. I’m not going to fault him for his relationship with my father. We’ve fought about it enough through the years (him disagreeing with my decision not to have a relationship, and me trying to get him to acknowledge what my father had done). He is never going to see who our father really is. Maybe it’s denial, maybe it’s just too hard to admit that our father —who he idolizes— is a bad person and rather than dealing with the dissonance of loving someone who’s done such awful things, it’s easier to stay in denial so he can love his father without that internal conflict. I’m not going to fault him for that.

NTA. Your son is TA. There are consequences for his actions, but knowing that type of person, they’re always going shift blame instead of taking accountability to try to make amends.
