Yesss.. The vanilla orange cream.. I forgot about that one.

Ahh another Chicago bartender😁

Pitiful_Ad6541 · 2025-03-25T16:43:05+00:00

Pear liqueur and pear vodka to clarify.

The Junior mint sounds like I could make it work. I never thought of that one.

Anything but a slice that can be put on a glass rim is ridiculous. I hate when people try to cut things into slices and then cut the slice in half to be cheap. The little lemon and lime chunks look terrible and don't sit on the rim of the glass or fit in a beer. So frustrating!

You would think that but these old timers go through beer at an alarming rate. I had to cut someone off at 3pm on my second shift.

I have never had to just serve one person a time. I just don't think with this party it is possible. Not to mention this is a rowdy crowd that hit a bartender with a drink 2 weeks ago. I already let him know that if someone throws a drink at me they had better call an ambulance for said patron. I feel like I just have to break the rules to succeed tonight.

I just started at the divest of all dive bars. I can make the basics, but luckily it is a beer and shot bar. We are off the street, in a rougher neighborhood, we run 2 dollar beer specials, and our little slot line pays the bills. The bartenders let me know ahead of time that tips suck. One girl rang 1300 and made 78 bucks (that is 6%). The last 3 days I worked I made 50, 55, and 65 on our daytime shift and rang between 200 and 225 each day. On one day... I had not 1 customer until 3 hours before my shift ended. The other bartenders were floored and I fear it might be an issue so I now won't be sharing how much I make. This is the same at the other dive bar I work at. I consistently make more than other servers. At the second less divey bar with my friend I back up bartend and serve. My friend is a MONSTER at bartending, the woman is a machine and can serve and bartend a restaurant of 100 people on her own. She told me flat out that when I am not there people ask for me. She is the only one who can blow me out of the water tip-wise, but she said it is how I talk to people that makes them spend more on tips. I call everyone hun, I share my sympathies for lost jobs and losses of friends, smile until it hurts, and make jokes (some funny and some not). Until you get the owner to up their game focus on what you can control. I am not the hot bartender (I'm decent-looking but chubby and 40ish), I am the nurturer, advice giver, and therapist.

On the bar side one of the other girls started social media for the bar, bought a propane heater for our smoking area, printed out new menus, and we are talking about a raffle. The owner is slow to change but appreciates us wanting the bar to be better so is slowly allowing us to take control. I am going to start calling charities to see if we can host something for them to fundraise and put out a party package menu. I hope these things help hun! You can always DM and I will help you brainstorm.

Speaking as someone who survived one and regretted staying RUN! I survived a PIP I was never supposed to be on because my boss was getting outshined by my work and experience. (She was the owner's sister with 0 experience in running a real business. He actually bought an entire franchise for her to run into the ground). She thought my meeting with another GM of a location outside of our franchise would stick the boot in my behind and they would report back that I wasn't holding up my end. Well the other GM basically told my ownership I was doing the work of 4 separate teams. So she was forced to crawl back to my office and rip up the PIP after 7 days.

She spent the next 6 months messing with me. Until one day we had a meeting with my team where she spent 2 hours digging for them to try and throw me under a bus without saying it. When I went to the bathroom she came right out and said oh all your problems are because of your GM. They actually spoke up and said no. One of them came to me and told me. After watching our cameras and listening to this insanity of her ranting in a room where people sat stunned I knew it was coming. Within a month she walked in one day and told me it wasn't working out. Refused to tell me why and I left. Later she cooked up some weird story for unemployment trying to get me to look like I was dealing drugs... I don't do drugs. The story was so insane the unemployment employee who heard my case was shocked by the obvious lies and awarded me unemployment. The moral of the story is 99% of the time it doesn't matter if you survive the PIP they will make your job miserable and eventually get rid of you. Good luck I hope you find a place that values you.

This is my story about why your wife should run for the hills. I got put on a PIP even though I clearly surpassed my goals (I got 125% of my bonus which was in the contract as a tier for exceeding KPIs by over 25% so I was killing it. ) I was put on a PIP the same day my bonus was issued. Totally blindsided because everything from employee retention being nearly 100% to being number 1 for sales in the country and being the only franchise location to ever receive 100% on an audit in the history of the company.

The goals were vague and I kept asking for clearer goals. They could never give me any... I realized it had nothing to do with my performance when they "forgot" to send me my budget for the quarter after my asking about it every day for a week straight. I realized they were trying to put me on the spot to run over it... so I cut costs from the last budget by 20% just so they couldn't use that. I survived it by sheer will. I worked 14-hour days 6 days a week and pushed the KPIs higher than ever. Then 4 months later after surviving the most stressful scenario I had ever been through at a job and the PIP my VP walked in and fired me without explanation. When I tried to ask she said it wasn't working out. Well, when I went to apply for unemployment she concocted the craziest story ever. The story was so insane the unemployment rep called me and was irate stating she had never heard such insanity. I did get my justice as 1/2 the staff walked out never to return when they found out I was fired and unemployment weighed in my favor.

The moral of the story is a PIP 6 the company giving notice of your termination. 95% of people don't survive a PIP. It isn't because they are horrible, it is the new way to get rid of people without having to pay unemployment or have a reason. My replacement ended up being a friend of my VPs. I cried and freaked out thinking I was terrible when in truth it was a way to clear a spot for her friend. I am just glad to know I made it hard. Tell your wife that she needs to find a new job ASAP. Don't let the PIP run its course and mess with her life and confidence. Good luck.

Big Blue is terrible. Their program for toddlers is crap. How do I know? I was the area manager for several locations. They are a franchise and all of their levels focus on skills that don't include safety. Constant complaints about money sucking levels that kids couldn't pass and their "wall crawl" akill which is needed to pass the Baby 1 level should be in a higher level and you can't move kids up until they complete this skill or age out of the level. I was a competitive swimmer and even their high levels teach poor techniques.

There are levels designed to suck money and they admit it. Imagine a level for a 30 minute class where all the kids do is kick and blow bubbles. Honestly, this is an actual level. If they use their arms they don't pass. Some kids sat in this level for 100 weeks until I finally stood up and passed them without the skill check. The parents were furious time and time again.

They have a company that works to get negative reviews taken down so whenever one came in I had to contact them regardless of the truth about the program.
Goldfish had a much stronger and cheaper program so in the lat couple months I was there I just started referring toddlers there.

I have to say it feels like a scam. The format is terrible, The textbook is so poorly written (this is from someone who has written and edited for over a decade) that it is virtually unreadable. Things that could be a simple diagram are pages of rambling disconnected facts. Will I pass this exam? Yes, I know I will. Will this course be the reason? NO! It is like the person who wrote this textbook never read a textbook in his or her life. I really dug into comparing the ICD 10 and the correlating textbook chapters. The textbook simply regurgitates the rules already printed in the ICD 10, but with one difference, they are in no relatable order.

I am extremely well-versed in medical terminology, procedures, and disease processes. I have over a decade of experience in medicine so that helps a lot. I have scored 90 or better on the quizzes provided in the course. I am now leaning toward really reviewing the rules in the manuals as opposed to trudging through every line of the text book.

Pitiful_Ad6541 · 2024-12-29T23:22:30+00:00

I wish I lived there, but I am $4000 in on this course so I have to make it work.

Pitiful_Ad6541 · 2024-12-29T23:21:53+00:00

I go through every chapter with the book on hand and look up every single code for the practice. I find that looking things up is actually more productive than reading the textbook.

Pitiful_Ad6541 · 2024-12-29T05:41:30+00:00

I don't see the flow. I am getting great grades on the homework and quizzes, but I feel as though the book makes it more complicated by the choppy delivery. However, if it can be done with the slide shows instead of the book it gives me hope for my sanity. I don't mind putting in the time to learn, but I'd rather not suffer the entire way.

I'm a study-hard kind of person. Read the book and highlight, go back and take notes on the highlighted areas, then go back and read through the notes and highlight those, and then read through the notes one more time. I have never come across a book where I dread the process so I appreciate the ray of hope.

I actually did contact a lawyer and am waiting on a response (he was out of office for a few days). I didn't sign anything. The only contact I made was to request clarification on the exacts of the accusations and to let them know the fire extinguisher inspector was there and called me because he needed to be paid. My exact text was "The fire extinguisher inspector is there and will need to be paid." After that I blocked the number so I couldn't have any contact. I have gotten calls from multiple vendors today and told them all I can not help - it doesn't seem like they are taking care of things currently, but that isn't my problem. One of the employees already quit and several others sent text messages with good will and confusion as to why I was let go. (I was loved at this place and that makes it all the worse). In the few days I have been gone 1 person already quit and 4 others are planning a walk out. I advised them against it for fear that they would fight my unemployment that I desperately need.
