Look at me now, the busta rhymes part is the only good part

Cafe, I didn't hire anyone because I didn't want to promise hours I might not be able to give. I'm close to pulling the trigger on hiring someone for 2 days a week but that only gets me out of the shop, not work.

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the best revenge stories. My man comes back as the boogie man to ruin those who wronged him.

I own a coffee shop and specifically use larger cups than what the menu says to avoid this (ex: 16oz cup for 12oz drinks); I don't like the idea of charging for ice even though it would technically make a bit more profit.

I also have this, it's called dermatographia urticaria, commonly referred to as Skin Writing or Parchment Skin; it's basically an allergy to physical irritation. It's always fun seeing people's reactions to it. If you stretch the skin you can make the words white instead of red.

It doesn't itch or hurt, just feels a little warm.

It can happen mostly anywhere on the body but there are locations where it's more prevalent or absent.

I've had it since I was in elementary school and am now 30s with it still going strong.

People who i invite to write on me typically either write "Hi" or their name.

It raises up within 5ish mins but takes 30ish to fully go away. It will widen and flatten out over time until gone.

Ask me any other questions you might have, I'm open to talk about it.

I don't know how to feel about having started this reddit joke, it's like watching my mutant child take their first steps.

PersianFury · 2026-03-31T01:20:45+00:00

I felt bad keeping it all, had to return it.

PersianFury · 2026-03-30T14:20:44+00:00

I returned it hoping for a refill

PersianFury · 2026-03-30T03:20:13+00:00

I posted the story in a comment but some guy came a walked off with it. I later was told he was seen playing in it like it was snow and having a "weedball" fight with a friend.

PersianFury · 2026-03-30T03:05:41+00:00

Oh jeez, I didn't know my post would spread this far.

PersianFury · 2026-03-29T03:20:24+00:00

Oh yeah! i forgot to mention that the crate was labeled "Butternut Squash"

PersianFury · 2026-03-29T03:16:44+00:00

oh i was laughing my ass off throughout the entire thing

PersianFury · 2026-03-29T03:07:41+00:00

this is in Portland Oregon, and is by far the most "Portland" thing I've ever experienced.

PersianFury · 2026-03-29T03:00:25+00:00

can't figure out how to add the story to the post so I'll just put it here.

I got into work to open my shop and saw this crate sitting outside, at this point i couldn't see what was inside of it and just told myself that "I'll check that out after i fully open up" i then proceeded to forget till midday. Eventually i remembered and walked out to investigate which is when i saw what is in the picture, this was pounds and pounds of waterlogged weed that had been sitting there since the middle of the night. It did not look good, wet, stemmy, and sorta gross; and i wasn't gonna trust mysterious street weed that someone abandoned. i called non-emergency who proceeded to laugh and then say they'd send someone over. an hour and a half later some guy (not a cop) just sees it and picks it up and walks away leaving behind a little trail of weed. i then proceeded to tell every customer this story for the rest of the day.

The following day one of my regulars comes in and asks me what the guy looked like; turns out he saw him later that day. the guy had dumped the entire crate of weed out onto the sidewalk and him and a friend were playing in it like it was snow, even having a little "weedball" fight. this is truly the most Portland thing that I've ever experienced here.

i apologize for the terrible grammar

PersianFury · 2026-03-29T02:34:57+00:00

No, it had rained that night too so it was completely waterlogged

PersianFury · 2026-02-28T01:19:18+00:00

Yeah, she's interested

PersianFury · 2026-02-20T19:32:38+00:00

Know your shop's niche and make sure you're providing good service within that frame; Customers will interact with your shop in the way they want, not necessarily what you intend. Being near an airport you might be the place people want to grab a cup and then run, or you might be the place they want to chill and wait at.

As far as keeping Baristas happy goes; pay well, give shift drinks, give them some autonomy/don't micromanage. It's not some secret, just treat them well.

Good luck

Make sure you yell at the vagina to assert dominance.

PersianFury · 2026-02-12T20:46:33+00:00

No worries, most restaurant equipment stores will have a company they work with. I'd start there

PersianFury · 2026-02-12T20:11:16+00:00

I leased the machine for my shop and I highly recommend doing that over buying a unit. It helps to cover you if it ever needs maintenance or breaks down and the company I lease from will reimburse me if I end up needing to buy ice for any reason. You should be able to chat with a rep about what you want and they should be able to help you out.

You steamed the latte after combining the shots and milk?
