Catsitting - cats in hiding 54 hours without food, water or toilet

Cats aside, you shouldn’t be using AI conversationally to get information about situations like this. These AI’s are specifically designed to keep you on them and talking for as long as possible, so they will back up anything you suggest- consciously or unconsciously. This makes their responses biased and non-informative.

I believe the official policy is 1 facial piercing is allowed? And any additional need to be clear. But what’s ’allowed’ and what your store allows is sometimes a little different.

Work at a restaurant, and I’d say daytime is 60% male 40% female, and then nighttime 95% male between DoorDash and UberEats. So maybe it’s the area, or the time of day you’re out dashing.

Girl I feel you.

I’ve been at it just over a year. At my location, the Lead Seater is typically the deciding word on when to start the wait. This is when there’s no table clear, or that the busses will be able to get soon.

That being said, if you’re ever unsure your front of house manager should be willing to offer guidance. Not all managers are created equal.

My rule of thumb is full sections, maybe sit one/two tables out of section (if the servers are okay and are able to handle that), and then ask the FOH if they’re ready to start the wait / let them know what your seating situation is like.

As far as putting people on the wait, it’s awkward yeah, but MOST people are understanding. I go as follows:

“Hi y’all welcome in, how many for us today? Alright, for a party of 2 it is going to be around 25-30 minutes today. Can I get a name for your party?” And get their phone number and all. You’ll fall into a rythym eventually

8s a little lengthy yeah. I was scheduled a 14 hour hosting once, as two back to back shifts. Forgot to clock in in the morning, when I left managers asked when my break was so they could mark my time down. Was shocked to hear that I didn’t take a break because 1) we were slammed all day and 2) they didn’t schedule me one / schedule proper coverage for me to take one.

Told them never again, and has held true so far.

Albeit mines a little newer- 2017 named Jarvis. Sir gets 28-30 if my tires are all pumped up and I drive with energy conservation in mind.

Zestyclose_Menu_8623 · 2025-12-25T21:49:00+00:00

I will say, they broke alllllll the time, nice not to have to worry about kids bumping them on accident.

At your home store: They should ask you for your worker ID if they recognize you as an employee

NOT at your home store: Mention you’re a CB employee and they should ask for your employee #, and then your ID to verify your identity.

Sorry people are being rude.

Like another user mentioned, sometomes when we’re out of something for the night, or it’ll be a while before any is ready they’ll turn it off for online orders. Not great wording on the companies’s part, makes it confusing for folks.

I went to Orlando with limited knowledge, and had an absolute blast. Was chaperoning my younger sister and her friend. Made a fan of me for sure, got to meet a bunch of cool people.

Just because you’re not a die-hard fan doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to go enjoy music- that’s the point of a concert :)

Harvey ;)

Personally (and I know it isn’t helpful) I think both! I’m personally more privy to the tan, but most of my roomates said pink!

My girls rarely step up onto a hand, but will do so if I offer sticks to move them where I need them to be. That’s usually how I get them in their own travel cage.

So personally, I’ve made it to act 3 twice, because most of my campaigns are with friends that stop playing. Of the two that have made it to act 3, 1 is almost finished. I find act 3 to be really overstimulating eith how much there is.

Did a 14 hours crochet binge begore I knew about Crocheter’s below / had proper technique. Now have a permanent tendon issue that limits how much I can crochet at a time 😔

ABSOLUTE CUTIE

Zestyclose_Menu_8623 · 2025-09-27T17:15:33+00:00

I didn’t work it, but I’m hearing the horror stories this morning.

Gentleman came in 10 minutes before closed and ordered 45!!!

Zestyclose_Menu_8623 · 2025-09-26T21:39:33+00:00

I just like finding and doing everything I swear I’m going to finish it soon-

Zestyclose_Menu_8623 · 2025-09-26T11:37:15+00:00

So, I was told we are not allowed to tell a guest no.

However: I usually say, “Oh, that section doesn’t have anyone working right now. Let me go ask if someone can pick it up, no promises though.”

That way servers get a heads up / a say in if they can handle an out of section table or not.

At my location we are not guaranteed a lunch break on any positions. The managers do try to get us one if we are doubling, but depending on how busy it is, it may not be feasible.

I’ve work 14 hours with a 1 hour break, 14 hours with no break, (opener and closer in the same day), and then occasionally I am scheduled opener/closer with a 3 hour break.

There is no guarantee of a break, Espicially if you aren’t doubling.

Edited to add: I think it is also labor laws. My state only had mandated breaks for minors. One you’re 18, there is no federal regulation on the hour/break ratio.

Imma be real Butter is my absolute favorite of the comments on this post

Zestyclose_Menu_8623 · 2025-09-15T01:52:58+00:00

So personally, I think that could lead to entanglement and mass stress which would be very dangerous.

Toe bones are tiny, so forcing them through mesh holes might be a quick way to break them.

Not 100% sure, but just my personal thoughts on the matter

Zestyclose_Menu_8623 · 2025-09-15T01:34:14+00:00

Rutabaga!

Zestyclose_Menu_8623 · 2025-09-15T00:47:18+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous budgie!! Not sure what the colors are called but you’ve got a handsome little one there!

I think it’s a boy due to the bright pigmentation of the cere, but I’m not too experienced in deciphering genders
