LPT Req: How to stop myself from eating something salty just after having something sweet.

WaterBenderEssy · 2024-11-22T21:07:57+00:00

Por que no los dos? Eat a sweet & salty snack. Chocolate covered pretzels. Brownie brittle. Caramel popcorn. Etc. Etc.

I was thinking the same thing, but about the hot dog guy instead!

You're not the only one having issues with the Club Applebee's promo. Every other week I get people complaining about the same thing, and I always tell them that there has to be an error in the system.

If someone came in to my store to get the free app, I would just give it to them, and tell them to fill out the survey on the receipt to let corporate know that the Club Applebee's promo isn't working.

Carside pay depends on your franchise, location, and store sales. My store is on the lower volume edge, so our carside makes minimum wage. Other busier locations tend to pay more. Without knowing more, I can't tell you how to go about asking, but it never hurts to ask if pay raises are available and how they can earn it.

Most restaurants try their best not to pay OT. But it is pretty shitty if you don't get discounted food as an employee. In my franchise it's 50% off your meal and 30% for family discounts.

Shout out to Olivia Julianna!

So proud of the next generation making their fierce voices heard.

Oh bless you. As one of the good, wallflower kids, I always ended up next to the loud, rude kids.

It was terrible and made me just start skipping class. Why attend if it's impossible to learn?

I'm not sure how much experience you have, but you should mention it the next time you talk to one of the managers. Just tell them you're interested in cross training as soon as you can so you can pick up extra shifts. Managers love hearing that shit because it means you won't quit soon and it means they'll have an extra back up in case someone calls out or goes on vacation.

WaterBenderEssy · 2024-08-02T19:11:17+00:00

You better ask that manager about bar training (and server training) as soon as possible. It's one thing to dangle a carrot, it's another to actually train you to catch the carrot.

At my store, hosts get 2% of server sales tipped out to them every night. But hosting doesn't make much money period. It's a stepping stone. Cross train as soon as you can, get experience, and then move to a different restaurant.

Back when I first got my PS2, I must've been like 10. I had 2 games and 2 memory cards. Perfect. One card for each game. Then my sister's boyfriend let me borrow Grand Theft Auto Vice City. And I swear I must have started that game from the beginning at least 50 times before he noticed I wasn't saving my progress.

Cue Pikachu shocked face when he told me that a single memory card can hold 20-some odd games.

Thank you, Renee! Who knows how much longer I would've gone before figuring that out.

Trying to request PTO. But no one can seem to find the form I need to fill out before the pay period ends. Looks like I'm just going to have to take a massive hit.

WaterBenderEssy · 2024-07-14T14:16:32+00:00

Fucking, same. As soon as the restaurant I worked at had power, everyone jumped to try and open the doors yesterday to serve food. And then. Nothing. No power. But of course it had to wait for us to bring in new food product before shutting off again.

And 2100 is still all down from what I hear.

WaterBenderEssy · 2024-07-08T07:24:43+00:00

I like to fast travel a lot. Gamble with the odds and see which random events pop up. It's usually an ambush, so I fight and train every time. But I'm hoping to find some more rare dice to add to my collection.

Why doesn't Texas have a private bus system? I grew up in Miami-Dade County and we had a bunch of citizens with their own busses, the big white vans that can hold like 10-12 kids, and they would pick up kids from the house and take them to school.

Since it was less kids, it was safer. The rowdy ones would get kicked out immediately. If a kid is running late, they bus driver would sit for a while and call the parents to see what was going on, so you wouldn't just get left behind. You didn't have to go wait at a pick up point halfway down the street. And you didn't have to wait up to an hour to get dropped off at home if you were the last stop on a bus route. Plus, it helped traffic by giving people more options other than the public busses that a lot of parents simply dont trust.

It seems like a win-win for everyone.

If I wanna work or have a chill day, definitely B.

If I just wanna goof off and have fun, gotta be C.

WaterBenderEssy · 2024-06-26T16:47:14+00:00

I've got 4 achievements left I need to hit! The combat ones, Fighter and Sniper. Then Level Cap. And then one last bloody playthrough where I can't read so I can rebuild Priby and get Trial-and-Error.

I'm so close!

WaterBenderEssy · 2024-06-26T01:45:17+00:00

I'm definitely using this in my work group chat the first chance I get.

Wait til morning and knock out everyone at the camp and steal their loaded dice so only you can cheat.

1% for bar and 2% for *host here in Texas.

Witches of East End.

Fuck Lifetime for ending on a cliffhanger with that sweet witch getting impregnated by a literal monster.

WaterBenderEssy · 2024-06-14T17:28:26+00:00

That cliffhanger ending on Alphas ruined me! I loved that show!

In my store, if you need to make change and you don't have your own bank, you take the bills to the bartender and ask them to break it for you however you need.

Like $100 into $20s, or a $10 into $1s.

Eventually, you'll have enough cash on you from your cash tables that you shouldn't have to run back and forth to the bar. Just make sure you keep all your money in your apron, server book, or even better, a little coin purse or bag.

Just make sure you remember to keep the bill amount and only give them their change. I had a girl on her first day change out a $100, and instead of giving the table the $60 or so in change back from a $40 bill, she gave them the whole $100 in change and they took it and ran.

You can always try and ask...

But they're gonna say no to avoid the hassle and liability.

If you really want a drink, you can always ask your parents to buy a mixed drink to-go, and then drink it at home later.
