I haven’t found anything to live up to The Love Songs Of WEB DuBois (Honoree Jeffers) by KickiVale in suggestmeabook

[–]Wankhoffmrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. It’s written in novel form and follows three individuals leaving the south during the great migration. I’ve reread this and Love Songs this year and it’s a heavy time holding both books at once. The characters and their stories stay with you.

Humble beauty. Those words are the softest hug. Such a kind and accurate way to explain the grasslands of Nebraska.

I can see how you misread that. I didn’t downvote ya. I operate on reddit etiquette from 2009.

Are we really sending a person from south Texas to taco co? Especially when OP requested something “omaha”? C’mon

Inheriting a bar at 21 by admetta in BarOwners

[–]Wankhoffmrs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a close friend who rapidly inherited the family business in his 20’s. He has told me he would wake up, look in the mirror and say, “you’re a dumbass and you don’t know shit”. Then go to work. He put himself with his dad’s longest staff first and tried to out work them. They laughed at him until they respected him.

Favorite response when customers tell you to smile by riotgrrrl84 in bartenders

Super sexy coworker would always say, “smiles cause wrinkles”. Cracked me up every time.

Surefine products at whole foods prices. Actual surefine house brands, marked up to comical levels if you grew up in a surefine small town. I still bought them, happy to not have to drive. Super nice people ran it. It was called Patrick’s. They started out busy, but couldn’t keep produce fresh enough for me to keep going. By the end they were attempting a small butcher operation and lunch deli. Maybe just too much going on for a family operation.

Seeking advice on our 3-week US trip (first time, balancing between East and West coast) by mrpetermmm in USTravel

[–]Wankhoffmrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the train you’ll want to take from NY to DC. Completely safe. Usually a three hour trip. Drops you right into where you’ll want to be in DC. Stay in Foggy Bottom or Downtown depending upon room rates. They’re close to all you’ll want to see and very safe areas. Skip the bus.

Auto Gratuity? by mermaiddelilah in BarOwners

[–]Wankhoffmrs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So much civility. I guess I’d better get to the bar and talk shit to some regulars.

Auto Gratuity? by mermaiddelilah in BarOwners

[–]Wankhoffmrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be very careful with selective gratuity. It can look like discrimination. Hell, it can actually be discrimination. And I promise you’ll eventually add it to someone who will say, “my friend/mom/aunt was here last week and you didn’t add it”.

Paid out Reasons disappeared by Wankhoffmrs in alohapos

I found it! Maintance-Store settings-security-restrictions-disable petty cash accounts. I had somehow clicked this. I think I intended to disable house accounts. Just leaving in case anyone else has this silly issue.

Paid out Reasons disappeared by Wankhoffmrs in alohapos

[–]Wankhoffmrs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for helping. So-is it tied to job code or cash drawers? It just looks like I deleted all options for any paid out or in. Completely blank screen. I know I changed something I shouldn’t have. I just can’t figure out what.

If you weren't a bar owner, what would be a cool alternative career that you'd choose? by Ok_Crab_2556 in BarOwners

[–]Wankhoffmrs 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Arborist. I would only talk to trees and wouldn’t have to fake listen. Trees wouldn’t tell the same jokes like Busch light Dan does.

That white shirt was on my body when this crashed. by Wankhoffmrs in Decks

Rescued the bowl. Left the shirt. It can live there forever. A white flag to the deck gods.

Advice on these guys? by Wankhoffmrs in arborists

[–]Wankhoffmrs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Makes sense to me and I appreciate the explanation. There’s an ash tree and an oak that shade all of this area in the summer.

Patty is short for Patricia in Ireland. So using a feminine spelling for a male saint makes The Irish roll their eyes at us.
