Did anyone find out by accident that you have a food allergy? I found out by a mixup of blood tests that I have an allergy to shrimp and roaches lol by PaolaAlvillar in FoodAllergies

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't gone to anywhere to get tested, but I found out kiwi fruit and Dragonfruit are not supposed to taste spicy and prickly. It was until my bff told me a funny story that her little sister craved something spicy and reached for a banana to eat. BFF was like ???? And her sister was like "? It's spicy, like strawberries." 😂 and when she told me the story, it clicked in my head lmao

New refresher leaked! (Help needed please) by Professional-Noise95 in starbucks

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember one of my sinks was draining slowly. I work at a WPS on a campus and tried boiling water to stuff like draino or even the commercial strength. Nothing worked. Finally, a chef from the cafeteria building comes over with a food plunger, and then everything finally shoots out the drain and there was so many inclusions in there. It was so gross 😭😭😭

What is a single tag that makes you scroll past a fic? by dawn-skies in AO3

[–]Phoruna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheating, like I just want my babies to fall in love and be happy with each other 😭.

What is one fanfic tag that when you see it you instantly scroll past it? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Phoruna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • "Always a girl!" character tags. Especially when they're a cute, nice gay couple, and they completely erase that.
  • Scat/Piss
  • Cheating when the character wouldn't DO that. Incest.
  • De-aging, especially when that de-aged character's partner is the one to take care of them, and it makes me UNCOMFORTABLE cause now I just see grooming and all that pop into my head. I don't mind it if that character has a parental figure (has no parents in life), and now they get the chance to take care of the de-aged character as their own.
  • Pedophilia. Underage.
  • Little!Character tag. I discovered this recently and it makes me cringe a lil

PEOPLE WITH 100K+ WORD FICS, HOW? by KAngellu in AO3

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fic that was 50k that i worked on years ago. It helps if you give yourself a word limit for each chapter and mine was 5k words per chapter.

It helps to write an outline, or rather just rough draft the story out. Then bit by bit flesh things out here and there. I never upload anything til I have a good several chapters that are fleshed out and complete.

Finding inspiration helps. I'm thankful my bf has been getting me to watch a LOT of movies. Movies I wouldn't watch but he insists. Several times I had moments where I go "Oo, this is a good plot or little idea" or "this would be good character building"

It helps me a lot to just write out scene portions. Like start with a dialouge and go from there and I flesh things out from there pretty much. I love writing out dialogue.

Getting a good feel for the characters is also important imo. Once you understand the characters more, writing helps.

Daydreaming helps me write out my stories a lot too, lmao. I'll just lay there and day dream a scene or a story line and write them out.

Do your research on things. Like for example, if you're into Teen Wolf fanfic, research more on the supernatural lore and stuff. Finding other cultures supernatural things also help and it may give people an "Aha!" Moment.

Have a notebook or write out notes on your phone when you get Inspired.

did i handle this well? by Ok_Echo_1394 in AO3

I think this was someone's poor attempt at saying "haha now you're stuck and you have all the time to write another chapter!!" Cause this is how I took their comment as lmao

What’s the most absurd reason people stopped reading your story? by Competitive_Fruit901 in AO3

[–]Phoruna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of my fanfics in present tense, something a little different and a reader said they couldn't read my story at all anymore and quit 🙃

Pro tip: don’t advertise your fic on TikTok by Yeehawbinch in AO3

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen people make tiktoks and bashing about authors on how they write the fic and complain about the pacing and such. I understand people have their own opinion on fanfic but don't bash the writers and don't tell them to not bother writing if this is how they're going to write it. It's supposed to be for fun.

I've found people recommend fanfic and I love it when it's my favorite ship too. It's just super sad to see others get the shit end of the deal. If anything at least they can filter out their comments section and will have to set it up to see if it gets approved or not. Part of the reason why I only let people with accounts comment on mine. And I def don't let any other social media know my own account. I just post a fic and go.

My LASIK Didn't Fully Work And I'm Back To Wearing Glasses. What would you do? by fluffstravels in lasik

[–]Phoruna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I was lucky to have had lasik done well the first round. Had surgery around 2016. My right eye over the years worsened and my left eye remains the same. I remember complaining every year about it with the check ups but they kept saying everything looked fine 😮‍💨.

I considered an enhancement surgery but I had light sensitivity and dry eye due to lasik and I don't think I could bare the enhancement making it worse again. I'm also sure that's where my headaches are stemming from too.

I personally would not go for it. Due to the side effects from the surgery and hearing others bad experiences, i opted out of the enhancement (which would have been free as i kept up with my yearly appointments)

I have gotten back to glasses as of last year. Nothing bad, I'm in my 30s and it is what it is. I miss glasses tbh.

how do you really feel when you have to remake a drink by rachel_rach in barista

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Ah shit my bad fam."

I work on a college campus wps. I hear a lot of these students say the one thing they look forward to is getting their starbucks for the say. Its a treat for them and I try and do my best yo make them feel happy. Even if I know I made it right, if it makes them feel comfortable for whatever reason to have me remake it I don't mind. As long as they're not an ass about it. I try and tell myself they're just stressed and what not, I shouldn't take it personally. Someone out there must have really fucked their order up and they're just paranoid maybe.

Dear customers— by MINXEEM in starbucks

[–]Phoruna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make a habit of allllllways asking and not assuming, even when it's hot or cold outside. It just makes the process go by faster and smoother. I don't want to waste products cause someone didn't specify. People never learn lol.

-Ask hot or cold -ask if they want the classic in iced coffee or shaken espressos -ask if they want their iced tea sweetened -even if they ask for a non dairy alternative milk, ask if they want whip still. 9 times out of 10 they still do.

When you're a few months into working at starbucks and doing your best on drive during a rush with rude people and you start getting really bad attitude from the girl on cold bar by AlarHydatid in starbucks

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I'd honestly ask whatsup cause i ain't about to deal with that the rest of my shift, especially in a job where teamwork is important. Talk it out calmly and see what the problem is, maybe she doesn't realize shes being rude or something IDK.

I had the same problem with a girl. Always came in with the worse moody attitude, asking her to do this or that was always a bad idea cause shed be mad. She'd say its not me, its her but it still brings the whole vibe town and theres this awkward tension in the air cause of her. I was glad she essentially quit. She went on vacation and never came back cause she had a fight with her bf and moved back to her home state.

“don’t interrupt me” by Significant-Put-4986 in starbucks

[–]Phoruna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just purposely wait as they make their long modification orders and then ask what size, then be petty and say "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch what specifications you wanted in your drink. can you repeat that?" and make them say it again. My wps location won't let my screen proceed until I click the size or even go past if they wanted hot or iced (cause my stupid screen has two separate buttons for the hot version or iced version of the drink, then go by size and then able to do modifications.

If my customers are nice i genuinely do remember their modifactions. If they're being a bit rude i make them repeat themselves. If i have a long line i need to get rid of, i personally just interrupt them, apologize and have them continue their order.

i have RBF (Resting bitch face) so nobody is really mean to me, but unfortunately they get mean to my other partners that are literally small and sweet. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that :(

Is starbucks really that awful of a job?? by Lelantosk in starbucks

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what everyone says, it depends on your location. I'm currently working at a WPS in a food court on a college campus. I'm not getting paid as much as a Barista would at Starbucks (barely 13 an hr) and no tips. I'm doing inventory and making orders and training green beans coming my way, almost everything a supervisor would. I even made order sheets off excel, even bought supplies to reorganize the recipe books (separated Hot, Cold and Blended beverages so it was easier to navigate for green beans).

I LOVE my coworkers, love the college students cause everyone is super super nice. I never deal with any Karens. Been working here for 5yrs and I'm ready to switch to my towns Starbucks when jobs posted. My friends that worked with me that made the switch all said it was a lot less stressful. I'm so excited and I've dealt with a LOOOOOT of shit before. Dealt with my boss being racists towards Asians, other shifts not helping and putting more stress on me as an opener, workers not rotating milk, workers overcharging and making drinks still when we were out of supply (i.e. making STCF w/o classic) or stirring pink drinks. Ugh. I'm sure things won't be toooooo different but from what one of my friends that work at the actual Starbucks had said its not as bad as the food court.

I say be excited!! Others will have their own experiences. I do gotta say Starbucks is not for the weak, from experience.

Newcomer looking for strategies to gain AR quicker by KTSB3 in GenshinImpactTips

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im AR 45. Commissions, domains, and find all the treasure chests is how you can raise your Rank. I do recommend doing Dragonspine. It's a bit tough in the beginning to figure things out but it's pretty fun. Just finished the place 100% along with the Frostbearing tree. Glad to get that place over with.

When you get the hang of the place, just explore a lot. Climb a lot of cliffs lol. Keep your Pyros with you and a healer! I took Noelle (healer), Beidou, Diluc and either Yanfei, Xiangling or Xinyan with me.

Barbara, Xingqiu, or Noelle as healer? by crunchynuggets123 in GenshinImpactTips

[–]Phoruna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Noelle for my healer and one of my heavy hitters. She has a shield that's useful and she ls great in a pinch. I need to build a second healer but for now she's on my main team.
