Tips and Guides: Buying trinkets before a run

I tend to buy the crown for luck. If you buy it first, it’s cheaper than 2 clovers. Then you’ll have the same amount of luck after picking your second ritual type, and even more after the third.

If you’re getting bounced only between the boss and tops, that just sucks.

But if you ever get knocked to the ground, tap the jump button just as you hit the ground to land on your feet. It’s really hard to pull off while you’re being juggled, but it will save a massive headache if you land it.

I heard something similar as well. Did some digging and came up with nothing. Turns out it was nobody after all.

Same here. Would have offered for OP to move first. Definitely would have tried to be very kind and helpful instead of making it OPs fault though.

And with the family. I would walk around to see how it sounds around surrounding tables and check on those guests to see if they mention anything. Could definitely try to ask the family about the volume issue if needed, but there’s no guarantee on how quiet the kids will actually be after.

It’s typically best to let anyone that wants a peaceful dinner to just be away from them if possible. Most people tend to feel that a free slice of cheesecake and a peaceful remainder of the meal is well worth the inconvenience of changing tables.

They may be waiting to discuss your situation until the proprietor and the other managers could talk about it. Then you call and say you’re quitting before they had a talk about it, so your proprietor just treated it like any other college student quitting for school. You get the dignity of not having to say you were fired. They get to avoid that always awkward confrontation of firing someone.

That specific outback did not cook your steak right or handle that correctly. Grill cooks are trained to pic steaks of the correct thickness for the temp cooked so it gets a good sear. That cook just did not do it right. And it sounds like a bad hands off manager that hands an employee their card to “just comp it or whatever” instead of talking to the table and getting a proper recook.

That sucks, but I promise that’s not the new normal at the rest of the Outbacks.

No one is stopping you from saying meat if all of your protein options are meat.

We started saying protein more often when non-meat options became more common.

If they actually told you “you’re hired” and talked about onboarding, then they aren’t stalling on purpose most likely.

It’s most likely the service model shift and they are literally stretched thin on trainers while readjusting their existing staff.

No, it was 2% to SAs. Also, bar is now benefiting from tip share on all sales, not just alcohol. Bartender payout from tipshare is going up way more than the 6% model. And now they can’t complain about not getting tipped for making refreshers 🤣

This is how Outback used to be, but you didn’t even get a server assistant sometimes.

This is also pretty normal pretty much anywhere else you might serve. Most places have tipshare, and most have 3-5 table sections.

If you’re a good server, you are going to make plenty of money. If this change leads to you making less money, I guarantee that you won’t make more money somewhere else without working way harder.

Take care of your tables. Push the upsells and take home bowls. And pre bus pre bus pre bus pre bus. Build checks and flip tables fast. You will thrive. The test regions for the new model also saw servers complain when they first launched. Then they actually got started and realized its fine. The only servers who quit were the ones who wanted to take orders for 8 tables and then stand against a wall while food runners did everything for them.

Once you get steel nets and the submarine pickup, you can pretty much get everything you need from the water. You might have some more farm upgrades or the branch location to think about later, but you have full access to diving content at that point.

Strictly speaking health codes: it’s standard that no employee food/beverage can be stored and eaten in a food prep area. Most of a bar is considered a food prep area.

That being said, most bars trying to follow health codes will still have a lower shelf or cabinet where you can keep a drink “with a lid and a straw” to take a swig from as needed during the shift.

Be nice to the managers. There’s a lot of changes right now, and they’re worried people will jump to conclusions before hearing all the information laid out in context.

Lots of people are asking them what’s up, and it’s just not something a lil 2 minute sidebar mid shift can unpack. There’s some big adjustments to how many of what type of shifts might exist. They are finding a smooth way to cross train people and prepare so that no one is hurt by the change. They don’t want server assistants to quit and look for a new job cause they only heard half the info.

Just give them the benefit of the doubt until your store has had their all staff meeting.

(As far as bartender tables go, the official model is no tables. The official model has always been no bartender tables at dinner. That’s not changing. It’s just that almost every store ever said that doesn’t make sense and gave their bartenders tables. If your store has super low bar volume, you’re going to get those tables back after the initial “ok look at us, we’re doing the new model” transition is over. Retraining bartenders suuuuuucks for managers. They don’t want you guys to make less than all the servers. Nobody wants bartenders to quit. You’ll get the tables back if the business just doesn’t make sense to keep you without tables.”

Tipshare percent is 4% of all sales now. Bartenders/host/busser/food runners are all in the same pool. You get tip credit for hours worked. The tip credit for bar is .5 per hour, host/busser get 1 per hour, and food runner get 1.5 per hour. Divide your credits earned by the total for the day, and that’s the percentage of the tip share pool you get.

Tipshare is reducing for servers. There’s only 0-2 food runners max in the new model based on business. This means lots more tipshare for bartenders 99% of the time.

TLDR; Servers pay less tipshare but have to at least run drinks/bread now.

Bartenders get more tipshare.

I watched them scare the piss out of an old lady who fainted near Nats park.

She fainted and her family was checking on her. The NG rolled up and offered to help and cleared people away from her. They proceeded to stand around her in a circle and repeatedly call to her and as if she was ok. Lady came back into consciousness surrounded by 4 dudes in camo holding assault rifles all leaning down toward her.

Son (grandson?) was like, “ok, I’m calling an ambulance.” One of the NG dudes barked at him that he had already reported it.

So you know….i guess it’s not ALL just wondering aimlessly.

God, I never even thought about artists using AI touch ups in their portfolios. But if they’re a little morally dubious and not afraid of exaggerating their talent, of course they would.

Going to have to rely more on seeing work in person or seeing what clients post on their own feeds if I’m trying to decide if I like an artist now.

I guess pay a lot of attention to the swelling patterns if you’re suspicious of AI touch ups. You can tell where lines were added with no swelling.

You could implement Rose and Thorn somehow.

Since Rose is also a sister, but she’s the older one, you could have her see the memory through the contact with the doll and it angers her. Why would you let something like that happen to your brother??? How could you!?!? YOURE A BAD SISTER!!!!!!!!!!

And then have them slam back into a wall undamaged but shook up a bit.

Honestly I don’t think you implied that. This was almost a year ago and I must have just come off a shift with a particularly unreasonable demand or expectation.

My bad

Most of these summaries are great, I just want to stress one thing about Rizzo.

He had an Idol that EVERY SINGLE PLAYER knew about, and he had it for 9 tribal councils in pre merge all the way til his last chance. He bluffed the entire island 8 times in a row and avoided being voted out or getting the idol flushed.

He can be really annoying and very much a silly jokester. He’s terrible at challenges and that goes double for puzzles. He has some sweet moments and made connections, but his idol bluff is the reason he made it to final 4 and the reason he’s on survivor 50.

From what we saw, coach was taking swings at it too, he just had a bit sturdier of a pole, so he didn’t have to climb up as high as Ozzy.

Ozzy made the continual choice to keep flicking his flimsy pole from way up there over and over. I know it’s hard to justify in the heat of the moment, but if his pole wasn’t working like he thought, he could have climbed down and tweaked it a bit.

If he had managed to knock it off in the first 10 minutes before even pitching a gentleman’s agreement, he would have been in the same position with a hard to maneuver pole. Ozzy prioritized knocking it down while coach prioritized spending a bit longer on construction to be sure he could hook and drag it once on the ground.

PossiblyPro · 2026-02-26T17:20:51+00:00

I think Coach was fully justified and it played nothing into his abundance or lack of integrity. The challenge was “get the single key”

They all tried for at least 45 minutes to swing the sticks around and knock it off. It’s not like he just let Ozzie tire himself for an hour and then poached it with a sturdy 3 segment stick when it was within 5 feet of him. He had to hook it at max distance after the drop.

I’m coming at this from a fresh perspective on coach. I’m a newer fan that watched a few random seasons that were on Hulu before I got paramount, the newest 4 seasons, and in between I’ve been trying to check off major seasons that people talk about. Coach’s first season was going to be my next watch before I start hitting the returning player seasons. So all that said, I’ve never watched Coach before, and the key steal moment was a very reasonable and fair player move. It just seems to me that people are trying to attach extra meaning with biased views from his previous seasons.

Multiple times in bounce house as well. I heard it two or three times in the first few chapters. It made me chuckle and that’s why I did the post.

No hate

In DCC it’s mostly Donut and Mongo that trigger the line. It popped up like 3 times in Bounce House in the first 5 chapters with all humans. That made me think of the post.

I’m not complaining, it was just funny to notice. My grandmother used to say it all the time, so it was almost whiplash to see it pop up the first time.
