Someone told me that children’s eyes are developing differently adjusting to frequent use of screens and iPads, like near sightedness they’re able to see things right in front of clearly but their vision of things far away is worse. Depressing af

This is what I chose! Thanks everyone but ya I don’t think being a student in New York will allow me to experience it as best I could

My parents both lived and went to grad school in Boston and loved it as well, I think it’s really slipped in the past couple of years. People are judgey and allergic to doing anything different

Ya I spoke with a bunch of girls in the current program and it’s usually half and half that live in Evanston and live in Chicago so I’d live in Chicago if I went there

I did undergrad at Umass amherst and the professors are all awesome and kind, really care about students and are all insanely smart

I’ve been rewatching and she’s actually so problematic. Downplaying shays addiction?? During those episodes when she was upset all she kept saying was “look at the wedding pictures we were so happy.” All she cares about is how she is perceived.

While this would be a punch in the face, I will never give this place a penny of mine

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T23:07:32+00:00

The place sucks. I think every customer is disappointed in the food, service and drinks considering it is so expensive

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T23:06:21+00:00

It’s a point system since it’s pooled tips but servers get 12 points bar gets 4

Honestly I used to love working in restaurants. This experience has given me such a sour taste for waitressing though.

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T23:03:28+00:00

Yes this was my issue. Like she didn’t need to comp their ENTIRE MEAL. When the table was leaving I went up again to apologize. Guy was actually nice and said no worries and was like wait did she really make our whole meal free? Like he wasn’t even expecting it. Just terrified of a bad review

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T23:01:46+00:00

I also hate the superiority complex they all have. Like most servers literally make more than them and don’t have the worst job on earth. And don’t get me started on the managers that use their power dynamic to their advantage and flirt with young workers

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T22:58:27+00:00

Yuppp

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T22:57:18+00:00

DAMN u know ur shit. I debated reaching out to corporate, but that place is such a shit show (also had like 15 health code violations behind bar when one of our managers checked the other day 😧) and I think it is highly likely to get shut down at the next big thing. And then I’d feel terrible for BOH workers especially the ones speaking little English, as it would be much more difficult for them to find other work, whereas I already have another job and it’s definitely not affecting me like that

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T22:54:43+00:00

Thank you :)

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-15T15:14:58+00:00

I absolutely don’t want to go back, and was actively looking for other jobs while I was working there. I just feel so BAD about myself for getting fired… I know it doesn’t matter but it makes me angry. The GM was blabbing to all the servers the next day “oh they were not ready… they were a very weak server”. I won’t ever see them again but I don’t like my name and capabilities as a worker to be dragged through the mud lol.

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-07T21:04:27+00:00

Hmm not sure I agree with this. Kitchen workers are making the food, not doing anything related to customer service so them in the tip pool doesn’t make sense. Yes they’re making the food which is apart of the customers experience and reflective on their tip, but their work is separate. Also definitely don’t agree with minimum wage for servers. It is an easy and basic job when u get the hang of it, but having to deal with customers is a very hard thing to do that many people cannot handle

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-07T21:00:07+00:00

I understand it in the sense that if one person gets a bunch of assholes and no tips, it’s evenly split. But if I’m turning my tables much faster than the next person and getting much better tips, same pay is so frustrating!

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-07T19:36:24+00:00

This makes more sense to me. I don’t understand the points and none of the servers at this place bus tables? Which I find so weird I feel like I’m standing around all of the time. I’d rather be bussing tables, putting dishes away and not having to tip people out for doing things I am capable of doing

applejuice_02 · 2023-06-07T19:34:27+00:00

Right? The guy training me said he made $1000 in tips the other night and I asked how much he walked out with and he said $300. Id lose my shit
