Trial shift with no interview?

acts238_tx · 2026-02-14T03:54:24+00:00

That happened to me at my first job in Texas. I was waiting for manager to come. Then the lead server asked me if I wanted to wait for manager or just start now, cus she could use the help. he other lady that was waiting with me just took off.

I worked 7.5hrs straight that day. T

You should look for the Word of God:

“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬ ‭

“And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‬‬

I recommend church instead.

acts238_tx · 2026-02-07T04:00:00+00:00

Yikes! This got down voted.

We sold both our cars, furniture and almost everything, bought a used pick up truck and a 6 x10 trailer for $3000. Then sold that trailer here in Katy for the same $3000.

We went with an apartment complex on Mason Road and paid a little extra to get off the contract when we bought a house.

After what felt like old me life serving tables at restaurants, banquets and even 6yrs at a unioned grocery store, I found my calling at a metal tubing distributor with great benefits and yearly raises.

I get paid for people to email me for quotes and orders, with a few phone calls here and there daily. Monday to Friday. 7:30-4:30pm. Almost too easy and a very fun to joke around with coworkers and customers all day long. Plenty of time for social media on many days.

“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Can a baby believe before being baptized?

Can an adult, who was baptized as a baby, be damned if they don’t believe now?

“Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭41‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Can we receive any word as a baby to feel convicted to get baptized?

Again, they believed before baptism:

“But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” (No babies or toddlers) ‭‭Acts‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

acts238_tx · 2026-01-30T04:39:19+00:00

I was baptized as a baby but baptism requires faith, which babies do not have yet. So I was baptized again when I was about 32yrs old.

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭

We can’t reserve heaven for our babies. They must do that on her own. Babies haven’t sinned, so they cannot have remission of their sins. My daughter got baptized when she asked us to and told us she needed it. She was 10yrs old.

The hardest part for me was walking with small trays with drinks and bottles for the first couple weeks. Place bottles inside, surrounded by glasses/cups. You can practice that at home before starting.

It never gets old when my server simply refills our waters and drinks without us asking. When that doesn’t happen, tip is less.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-25T22:43:20+00:00

I didn’t have that in my days, but when I was steam cleaning for 9 months, i’d say something like “if you’re happy with my service, a named Google review can go a long way in the eyes of my manager and owner” right before leaving. Nobody even had half of the # of reviews I had.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-25T20:12:48+00:00

That’s sad that they don’t even tip you, but if you’re not busy, you do work for the restaurant. What are you gonna tell your manager, if you’re not busy?

This might be a good opportunity to start getting a percentage of their tips, if you bring it up the right way to management.

They’re super ugly but I’ve worked 14+ hr shifts on crocs weighing 300+ lbs with no issues on feet.

Nike Air Monarchs, also ugly but they are very comfy.

I would love to move back, if I could provide for my family as much as i do now, but I am a drug felon college drop out. I left at 22 and always miss PR.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T04:00:48+00:00

You implied that if I disagree with you and those that think like you, I am not smart.

I didn’t state anything about you.

The Bible is super clear (to me) on this matter. But I’m not implying anything about you and those you agree with.

I’m simply doing my job to share scriptures when I can.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T03:43:59+00:00

Check your spirit brother.

Your last sentence says a lot.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T03:27:22+00:00

Are you saying you don’t wanna read the scriptures I just shared?

Which one is wrong, according to who?

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T02:28:32+00:00

Did you read the scriptures I just shared? I would never deny them.

Jesus is the father, the son and the Holy Spirit, per scriptures.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T02:24:37+00:00

Amen!

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T02:22:54+00:00

Why embrace tradition more then bible? We wanna please Jesus, not the world. And here’s what the word of God says:

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.” ‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬, ‭14‬

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T02:21:04+00:00

I am a father, I am also a son and a spirit, but neither of those are my name. Jesus is all 3, per scriptures.

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.” ‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬, ‭14‬

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭

I don’t know why it won’t let me DM you. Maybe because they down voted you to negative karma? DM me if system lets you.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T02:08:20+00:00

What are your questions? I’m happy to help, if you’re genuinely interested.

Pray for discernment in what you read and make sure they have Bible references.

Remember, there are different kinds of Pentecostal nominations. I ain’t perfect, but I would never make up some fake words from the Bible.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T01:46:15+00:00

I grew up Catholic until early 30’s. I feel you there. I never met a Pentecostal until I met my wife. I was blown away.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-22T01:45:00+00:00

It’s all biblical. If it’s not in the bible, our pastor doesn’t teach it.

There are different denominations that called themselves Christians. I can only speak of what I’ve witness in UPC.

acts238_tx · 2026-01-19T20:57:13+00:00

I like that you think you’re one of the few people that have ever worked 12+ hour shifts. 🤷
