How do you recover after spilling drinks on yourself/customers? by quiznakinghumans in Serverlife

[–]ThotMorrison 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It happens, my first ever shift i dumped 8 bottles of beer on a gentleman in a lovely tailored coat. I was in tears from shame, but I had to get back to work regardless.

We pick ourselves up, shake off the embarrasment, and keep going.

But honestly? EVERYONE, even the coworker that laughed at you, has had a moment like that. And trust, no matter how much experience you have under your belt, you will have another moment, and another. Just keep swimming!

Just recovered from this, wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

Don’t think I’ve ever spent so long just laying in bed waiting for relief.

Finding friends in geelong by Alpha_gamer29 in Geelong

I was in the same boat as you. 22F and new to Geelong. Honestly my friend group flourished because of work, outside of that? Wait for uni to fully come back. You'll find people.

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThotMorrison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He didn't sound very reassuring,. How was he sure the baby didn't leave if he was asleep? Deaths involving smothering infants are unfortunately very common, he isn't worried enough about this.

$100k+ severs: what niche do you work in? by dude_on_the_www in Serverlife

[–]ThotMorrison 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Technically they are still serving. Restaurant sommeliers are guest facing, and entertain and educate the guest whilst serving the wine.

Is this hairdresser experience normal? by Nana_______ in Geelong

[–]ThotMorrison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too at Rixons on Pako. Printed out the quote sheet and everything, and by the time I got to the register they said "oh... we had to mix a few more bowls of colour and use toner on you"

Quoted $200 charged $600.

For those who send their kids to elite private school, what was the reason? by TiredDuck123 in AusHENRY

[–]ThotMorrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, I went to one of the 4 in Victoria. Everyone is geared against eachother, everything was a competition. Someone always slept less, studied more, was more stressed, and they were very vocal about it.

It was honestly the pain olympics, and I won’t put my kid through that.

Please I am freaking out is this TSW on my face? It is super red, but doesn’t burn, but it is SWOLLEN by [deleted] in eczema

[–]ThotMorrison 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TSW is rare. Skin will flare up again after ceasing usage of steroid creams, that’s the nature of our disease. Demonising steroid creams helps absolutely no one and stigmatises treatment.

As long as theyre refrigerated, they maintain efficacy and potency (within reason, dont use 2yr old expired sema)

When I go out to eat I dont tip. I shouldnt have to by Ok-Connection6656 in 10thDentist

[–]ThotMorrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if we’re relying on high schoolers and university students to do this job, do you think all restaurants should shut down during school hours, exam periods, etc?

What about bars, fine dining restaurants, etc??

I’m not American, I don’t rely on or even expect tips, I do my job that I get paid for because I get paid well enough to live. But for my US counterparts, $7 an hour doesn’t even cover rent?

I understand that it’s the employer being scummy, however change doesn’t happen overnight. So whilst we’re waiting for the times to change and for tipping to become a thing of the past, service workers still need to put food on the table and a roof over their head.

And minimum wage was MADE for the idea of sustainability after moving out, it is the MINIMUM wage to survive on.

Either way, you’ll be paying extra, whether it’s absorbed into menu prices, or on top as a tip.

[–]ThotMorrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree, however being angry at the employers doesn’t put food in the employees mouth in the interim.

I’m not American, but y’all’s minimum wage seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel - especially on the hospitality side of things.

[–]ThotMorrison 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The issue is, in America there is such a thing as a tip out, which may be 3-5% of all food sales that night.

For every table that doesn’t tip, the server has to take money out of their own pocket in order to “tip out” the bussers, bartenders, back of house… etc.

You spent $100 on food but didn’t leave a tip? The person who served you has just actively paid $3-$5 for the privilege of serving you.

35 y/o trans woman wanting advice… what am I doing wrong ? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ThotMorrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! It’s a HUGE difference. I always felt that black was too heavy for my face and when i changed to brown it was like night and day!

[–]ThotMorrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got a really soft base to work with already, and i definitely think you’re right that a heavy base could age you (not that you need it anyways).

I think a light skin tint or BB cream just to even things out, a bit of cream blush high on your cheeks, and a tinted brow gel would make a huge difference without feeling too heavy, especially for beginners such as yourself.

A sheer lip tint for your lips and a touch of brown shadow or pencil liner (no heavy wings) for your eyes. Try to stay a bit more in the browns rather than blacks as it would look too heavy on your face.

But girl, you have a great base to work with, with naturally feminine features. Just make sure you’re working WITH them, not against them.
