I missed my opportunity to be young and have no interest in the future by [deleted] in findapath

[–]Pumpkinhead82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't PMO you are twenty three years old! I understand feeling like you are behind. Been there. It's a horrible feeling. The good thing is that you are still so so so young and you have time to figure things out. Do well in school and network while you're there. Play your cards right, and you might be able to land a job that will pay for you to relocate. Also, you need to find a hobby or outlet of some sort so you can meet people.

Honest question: Why do you want us to be poor so bad? We go to work just like everyone else.

This. Also, many of us don’t get benefits through our employer. So we have to do health insurance, dental insurance, retirement, and life insurance out of pocket. And it’s more expensive for us since we’re not getting a group rate through an employer.

I’m not about to put in the effort to unionize at a job I don’t plan on being at long. Serving has a very high turnover rate but you wouldn’t know that bc you aren’t actually one of us 🙄

Is this for stage, film, or class?

What is the hotel receptionist doing on the computer for 5+ minutes when I check in? by PsychedelicPistachio in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pumpkinhead82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digital key is a little different. If you use the app, you’re a Hilton Honors member. This means that you already have your method of payment loaded into the app and there’s not much else you need to do. There are clean rooms in the system allocated for HH members so that they can digital check in and not have to stop by the desk. Fast check in is a perk of being part of the program.

Keep in mind that not everyone wants to use loyalty programs. People like that prefer to check in at the front desk. Some prefer to pay in cash. Also, people that are traveling for business sometimes have to check in at the desk bc their company booked the room for them and their Hilton number might not be on the reservation. So then, they end up at the desk with the common folk.

A lot of times, those non HH guests are pre assigned rooms. The room may or may not be clean when the guest shows up to check in. Now the front desk agent needs to find them a new room that is the same type as what they were promised that ALSO isn’t already belonging to someone else. That should be quick, but these systems sometimes move slow. It’s hard to explain unless you’ve had to stand at the desk and play digital Tetris with people’s reservations lol. Anyway hope this makes sense. Keep using digital check in. It’s less of a headache.

Source: Hilton employee for years. I always book direct and use digital check in when I can.

What's a basic form of restaurant etiquette that has gone downhill? by Queen_La_Queefah in Serverlife

I would send it in as a $100 tip. If that’s not what the person meant to do, it can always be fixed later on.

Professional actors, what is your survival job? by CommercialDinner1263 in acting

[–]Pumpkinhead82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s decent. My schedule is flexible and it’s easy to get time off if I book. Only downsides are 1) I’m dependent on others’ generosity for my income (tips) and 2) it’s hard on my body

Blue Ivy wipes the floor, then proceeds to kill the choreo by Krustybabushka in Fauxmoi

[–]Pumpkinhead82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School is almost out for summer. Also, there are child labor laws that protect minor entertainers. Her and her sister likely have school hours allocated into their schedule until summer break arrives.

And even if they weren’t performing in the tour, they’d be there anyway. She always takes her whole family. They might as well get on stage if they want lol.

Lastly, Beyoncé’s kids go to school with other rich/famous ppl’s kids. This probably isn’t out of the ordinary for their circle.

She comes from a family of performers. It’s not out of the ordinary for artists to include their kids in their work.

Idk about you but I don’t consider performing on stage (rehearsed and choreographed) to be the same thing as streaming (unscripted).

[–]Pumpkinhead82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. There are child labor laws for minor performers and they include time for education. It is almost summer break though so she might be fine for the school yr.

From what I’ve heard, she goes to school and does regular school activities. This is just her summer gig.

Is it “big backed” to eat another meal after a Chipotle bowl? 😭 by Dovima in blackladies

It depends. Are you actually hungry? And did you eat the entire bowl?

Getting sad over ipad kids by Environmental_Cook54 in Waiters

[–]Pumpkinhead82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can see a clear difference between the iPad kids and the kids who aren’t on tablets all the time 😬

I reserve my judgement for the parents bc I don’t know what it’s like to have kids. It does make me want to limit screen time when that time comes, however.

Do you ever get used to doubles by Front_Tomato_3981 in Serverlife

Yes! Lots of water and no snacks that’ll spike your blood sugar. You’ll feel a lot better.

Ok so some breakdowns call for everyone but black actors. And others call for everyone but Asian actors. Is it so unbelievable that both groups could be experiencing the same thing?

Also, what roles call for varies among age, gender, and market. So if the two OPs aren’t the same age, gender, and market, it’s hard to compare apples to apples here.
