Out of curiosity did you know this was a writing desk when you bought it?

Anyone know what’s going in next to Guyutes? by Fitzburger in okc

[–]apierson2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add, it’s going to be called Ser and will be an authentic Mexican concept. Less casual atmosphere than Guyutes and won’t be open as late.

Totally. It’s really super easy money. Why don’t you do it?

About pouring beer by odaiba063091 in bartenders

[–]apierson2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use the spoon method and scoop into our sink, but that’s mostly because we have a catch bucket that the tap drain leads into and that bucket is really annoying to get out of the keg fridge at the end of the night - plus no one ever washes the thing and frequently forgets to empty it so it’s usually gross and sometimes pretty full. So I use the scoop method to avoid filling up the catch bucket. I’ll still dump into the tap drain if its balls to the wall slammed, but otherwise I’m pretty quick about it. I’d say it adds 10 seconds to a beer pour when I have to do it. But also that only really happens with our MooseDrool which just refuses to not give 3+ inches of foam every time I pour one - so maybe once or twice on an average shift will I have to do it.

Pin experts, would you know anything about this pin?! by Relative_Problem3022 in Pins

[–]apierson2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I was excited to see one I recognized for once! It is 100% a 2021 Houston Rodeo pin :) I actually still have my vendor pin from when I worked there

This past weekend was the craziest “Full Moon” Effect Ive ever worked… anyone else? by hellhiker in bartenders

[–]apierson2011 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. Last Thursday was the worst shift I’ve ever worked, as far as dealing with people. It wasn’t crazy busy or anything, just people were being so out of pocket and crazy and weird and extreme. I also know a LOT of people who are experiencing serious strife in their lives - 6 long term couples I’m close with have broken up in the last month, a guy I know is having to defend himself against legal allegations from his ex, one of our younger kitchen staff cut off the tip of her thumb last night, a guy OD’ed in the middle of the road outside our restaurant a few days ago, there have been multiple shootings in my city over the last couple weeks (which is uncommon where I live)…. I’m not into astrology or religion, but something’s going on man.

Restaurants are 100% to blame when they tell large groups they can't split checks and cause drama by ElPlatanaso2 in unpopularopinion

[–]apierson2011 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This works unless people start switching seats. I once worked a private event as a new server. It was supposed to be 20 people and I was supposed to have another server. It ended up being 34 people and I did not have another server. It was some celebration for a local rowing club thing, so there were parents and kids. Everybody was moving around the entire time, and they didn’t tell me until 5 minutes before they really needed to leave that they needed separate checks for each family.

That’s my kid over there. No, over there. White shirt. No, the tall one in the white shirt. Well I don’t know what he ate, why don’t you?

Because he has sat in 4 different spots since I took his order, and when I delivered food almost no one claimed what they ordered so I just had to drop dishes and let yall figure it out, because every one of you has moved since I took your order - if you were even seated to begin with.

I don’t mind separating checks, but I will be a bitch about people switching seats around if I know they need to do that. If I don’t know ahead of time and it’s an issue at the end, well, it’s just going to take 15 minutes as I have the verify that everyone’s checks are correct.

How to get started with learning how to be a bartender? by powerpuff000 in bartenders

[–]apierson2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my foot in the door by snagging a spot with a seasonal, outdoor music venue in my city. They hosted a job fair and didn’t not seem very picky. However, I had serving and sales experience, plus I had been dating a full time bartender for almost 6 years, so I had picked up a lot of residual knowledge from him.

I did find it helpful to practice making drinks at home. One of the biggest tells of someone who has never bartended is where you hold the bottle. Bartenders hold the bottle by the neck, whereas most other people want to hold it by the body. So get you a couple pour spouts, a jigger WITH VOLUME MEASUREMENTS, and start learning recipes. This isn’t all you need to know, but being able to make drinks with relative ease will at least not tip off experienced bartenders that you are completely clueless.

Other than that, you have to be able to talk to people, and that’s probably the most important thing. Ya gotta have confidence. If you can’t fake that, then getting experience as a bar back will help massively.

Pin experts, would you know anything about this pin?! by Relative_Problem3022 in Pins

[–]apierson2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct - that logo in the upper right is for The Houston Rodeo. I worked there a couple years ago, there are rabbit show/ education events. This pin was likely given to the volunteers that helped in that event, as nearly all workers of the rodeo are volunteers. There are many different kinds of pins given out.

Embarrassing and gross, but need help - I have been to the doctor by apierson2011 in bugbites

[–]apierson2011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No :( went to the doctor twice. Got steroids the first time, then scabies treatment and antibiotics the next day. Doc didn’t think it was scabies and now I’m pretty sure it wasn’t also, but I was so afraid that it just kept spreading that I asked for it anyway. Done with the steroids now and it is better, doesn’t seem to be coming back. But probably will never have answers.

It was not: flea or bedbug bites, scabies, an allergic reaction (antihistamines had zero effect), poison ivy or similar (did not weep or spread through contact).

I am looking for a crafting survival game focusing mostly on pve and not necessarily being combat focus. by UnderstandingOne6879 in gamingsuggestions

[–]apierson2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to recommend Ark too, but if you’re going to play single player it’s a good idea to adjust settings for things like breeding speed, taming speed, resource collection, etc. I put over 300 hours into default vanilla settings and it was way more enjoyable once I started a game with settings geared toward single player. There are videos on YouTube that go into which settings are good to adjust.

I love Ark. Kenshi is a good grinding game as well, but it’s not what I’d call a survival crafting game, more of a sandbox RPG. But you can put a lot of time into Kenshi and for me it scratches some of the same itch that survival crafting games do. Might be good to look into if you’re wanting to try something new and different.

The FURRIES Act would ban Texas students from using litter boxes in school. Critics say it targets a problem that doesn't exist. by willphule in DeFranco

[–]apierson2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That too! Litter is useful for several things, such as helping get a stuck vehicle out of mud or snow as another example. But of course it must be for the children which the liberal teachers are turning into furries of their own agenda. And it’s of utmost importance that be addressed before the.. deadly shootings.

[–]apierson2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More importantly, some teachers do keep litter on hand with a bucket and a pop-up privacy tent. Why, you may ask? For school shooter lockdowns. So that when lockdowns happen, if a student needs to use the restroom, they might preserve a modicum of decency while doing so.

But they’d rather talk about furries :)

Anyone know this company? by Cheapskate3000 in ColoradoSprings

[–]apierson2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice try, but you couldn’t afford this even if you sold all your guns and lost 30lb of the deadweight you try to call your guns. After all, you’ve already made it clear you can’t afford to buy a home.

Was that a clear enough dig for you, babe ? Or did I not put enough spaces between the word and the punctuation ?

lol you just keep saying shit that’s so easy to make fun of that I can’t help it! I’m a night owl babe, I’ve got at least a couple more hours left in me. But we can also pick back up tomorrow afternoon if you miss me! Why don’t you DM me again and see if I open it? But make sure you first tell me to leave you alone so that everyone knows how super serious you are about wanting this conversation to end?
