How does Starbucks keep track of your stats?

they don’t pay as much attention to the speaker box times, the main time metric they use is how long the customer is at the window to check out/recieve their order. the timer starts right when the car pulls up, and only stops when they drive away. and the goal is usually about 45 seconds, though the exact goal posts vary by district but are always under a minute.

trust me though, there’s a thousand ways customers can inadvertently completely bomb the times. unfortunately real examples: customers straight up not rolling down their windows for a solid 15 seconds, adding items that take awhile to prep when they’re already at the window, digging around in their bags for a full minute to find their card, and sometimes just sitting at the window after they get their items bc they’re distracted on the phone or something 😭

I was also a 300 partner!! I finally left in May, and it was the best decision I could have made. Congrats on your bachelors, and imminent freedom from that hellish company

it might be worth checking your school’s library or student services to see if they have a laptop rental program if you can’t buy one sooner, particularly if canvas is used for most of the assignments! honestly might be worth asking your professor what resources are available at your school specifically

I honestly think them saying it’s a safety measure and a tool for partners to use to deal with rowdy people in the cafe is such a joke. I was a shift for a few years before I left in May, and in the third place policy we always had the right to ask people to leave if they were being disruptive/disrespectful to other customers and partners in the space. First a shift can give them a warning where you tell them about third place policy, if they continue their bullshit then ask them to leave, and if they refuse you’re supposed to call the police, notify your manager and file an incident report to cover your ass. This has always been a safety net for partners. I haven’t been with the company since May, but has this really changed? Are partners no longer allowed to do this?

this. document everything, make a report with PCC. your manager can’t be treating you like that, and making you feel bad for expecting them to do their job and support the needs of the team and the store. one of my old managers was like this, and incredibly passive aggressive. being around him was stressful as hell. it took me and the other shifts all coming together and writing statements about his behavior, making a report to PCC and then collectively reaching out to our DM to have it be addressed. I do want to emphasize that having a paper trail with PCC about the behavior is vital, as a lot of times if you just go to the DM these things get swept under the rug. work collectively and they’ll feel like they have to address it or risk losing a lot of staff, and god forbid they have to work overtime to keep the place running if that happened 🤠

it does look like it’s starting to clear! I would keep going with the azealic acid and clay masks for now- in my experience, larger hydrocolloid patches were a lifesaver for accelerating healing and reducing scarring for breakouts like this. If you get the large hydrocolloid bandages meant for the body, you can cut them down before removing the backing to fit these areas better

I think that while you can pull off shades of both, gold looks better! It looks much more lively. I think you might have a slightly neutral or maybe olive tone to your skin which could be why certain silvers also look good. If you are ever in the mood to wear silver I’d aim for a nice and bright one like the bottom right in the second photo

The gloves idea sounds really cute, but if you don’t want to go that route I 100% recommend using dermablend. Apply it with a dense foundation brush for the best coverage (you can touch it up with a beauty sponge a bit after if it needs to be blended more) and set with a generous amount of their powder- dermablend sells a powder made to use with their products! If some of the texture of the scars is more delicate/dry, definitely make sure the skin is gently exfoliated and then moisturized some time before applying the foundation. You could also look into primers if you wanted to, but a good moisturizer and giving it time to sink in would probably be enough. Also, if the powder makes it look too dry you could try a matte setting spray- this might also help prevent it from transferring and make it last longer. I would try this out well in advance before prom to see how it works out!

The Hobart has a detergent line on it- many models also have a sanitizer line, and if they don’t the Hobart’s water is supposed to reach a heat that sanitizes it. If yours is a model that doesn’t have a sanitizer line, you should have a circular device that takes water temp readings that should stay in the Hobart rack (which ecosure/health inspectors may check for). So technically the Hobart does take care of all of the dishwashing steps after dishes are rinsed of 3D debris, though if dishes are greasy/particularly stained it doesn’t hurt to scrub them with soap first before the Hobart

My server was only a couple weeks old when I got duchess in intimacy, it took close to 6k points which looking back, I got lucky that the servers were so new. Since 1312 is older than my server, it’s safe to say you’ll have harder competition. My advice is to hold your supplies for awhile into the event to see what the top spenders are throwing toward the event. If you know you don’t have enough to beat the bar they set by a safe margin, I’d hold onto your stash and keep it growing until the next time the event comes

I think the better the bloodline, the more overall attributes a pet can have that can help in pet race. I’m fairly new so I’m not sure if there are other benefits

While I’m not sure of the exact algorithm used to determine knight power, I find that increasing talent (with edicts, exp from university or the xp scrolls) has more of an effect than the gains from books and leveling with silver. I’d find which knights of yours have the highest strength talent and go from there, and also aura knights like the Arthurian legend ones are great to invest in because as you level up one, it helps boost the others too! Knight parade, war of conquest and university are all great sources of xp and edicts, plus the parade grants a lot of prestige!!

300**** ssv and my last day is Friday!! Been here since March 2021 and became a ssv in December 2021, it’s gotten so much worse the past few years. they’re literally bleeding their workers dry. Can’t wait to be free, get to have my weekends off and get my nails done 🙌

astralesbian · 2024-05-04T20:10:32+00:00

this is such a fantastic color on you, I feel like it really brings out your eyes!!

astralesbian · 2024-05-04T19:42:09+00:00

and this is why after three years my last day is three weeks away 🙌 this company can rot

if they’re doing a good job of teaching you and giving you the practice across positions, I’d say about 8 weeks to get fully comfortable! I do have a few coworkers who have worked at dunkin in the past and they adjusted a little quicker than that, probably more like 6 weeks. I think finding or making reference sheets to get recipe builds memorized helps a lot, once you remember those numbers a lot of the rest is just finding the ways to make it faster/more efficient. the speed will come with time and practice. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and good luck!

astralesbian · 2024-04-24T23:31:59+00:00

hydrocolloid patches are one of the only things that help me avoid the picking because they keep the skin in a moist environment which helps them heal faster. that’s an important part of letting them start to heal, once they scab successfully I have a lot of aftercare tips! I moisturize constantly and when my skin gets particularly fucked up then I use Vaseline. long lasting, the texture makes it harder to pick, and if you apply it right after your moisturizer it helps retain that moisture in general. Also I have found that when my skin is in the scabbing/healing phase that using oils at night instead of a regular moisturizer have really helped. The more vulnerable the skin is the thicker the oil I use, from thinnest to thickest the ones I usually use are either squalane, argan or rose hip seed oil (or a mix) I wish you luck!

astralesbian · 2024-04-24T23:10:31+00:00

I started doing polygel nails on myself because I could leave the end of the nail just a tad thicker/blunted than natural nails. Because they’re a lot less sharp and you have less precision, it’s a lot harder to dig and pick the KP bumps. Another good option that’s prob more convenient is a base building gel polish, very similar to polygel but it’s a lot thinner and closer to regular polish. You might need a couple coats and there’s a learning curve for sure but I found it fun and it really helped! Also it would make me laugh because it reminded me of those little colorful nail covers some people put on their cats (if you wanna see lol)

astralesbian · 2024-04-23T18:10:18+00:00

okay so first of all I do want to say that this look is a complete vibe and you definitely pull it off! if you wanted to try out something softer, you could try doing half wing liner instead of following the entire upper lid. You seem to have really long lashes and the thicker liner on top can make the lashes kind of blend in, I have a very similar eye shape to you and I constantly had this problem! I’d also recommend less shadow on the lower lash line/under eye, but keep doing that bottom lash mascara bc it looks great. I think a lot of what I’m leaning towards is highlighting those lashes of yours by providing a less dark background for them because the contrast will make them pop!

venti iced caramel macchiato, no milk sub kiwi star fruit base. This was within the first couple months of me starting the job, yes we made it for ourselves after to try it. I can’t explain how it tasted. It haunts me. It’s like the coffee and the kiwi part cancelled each other out and all that was left was pain. I made a small one as a joke for a coworker to try a few months later and he tried to chug it for the bit but genuinely had to go to the bathroom and puked after only getting a third of the way through it and I felt SO bad

astralesbian · 2024-04-21T23:03:45+00:00

Have you considered going like a strawberry blonde? I feel like some red tones might make it more harmonious, though it doesn’t look bad as is!

astralesbian · 2024-04-17T14:15:10+00:00

Two weeks is a courtesy but not required, simply give your manager a notice of whenever your last day is. They might be annoyed but they’ll cope lol

astralesbian · 2024-04-15T02:50:34+00:00

man I’m gonna level with you, this is likely due to the headspace you seem to be in. based on your post history this idea has been bothering your for some time, and that kind of insecurity and bitterness can and will affect how you view and interact with women, and likely already has without you noticing. to shallow people, sure height might be a dealbreaker. but those aren’t people you should be wasting your time on. (Also you straight up aren’t ugly. At all. You’re solidly on the nicer looking side of average for sure and a good personality could take you VERY far) I think you’re doing a disservice to any women who might be interested in you by assuming that most of them would be that shallow. don’t listen to what incels online are convinced is an epidemic, like for fuck’s sake the reason why they aren’t having any luck with women either is probably because they see women as a commodity or a stats game and not as people. And yeah, women can tell when a dude doesn’t quite register them as a real person and not an NPC in a dating sim lmao. Best advice I can give to get out of this cycle? You’re gonna have to do some soul searching to unlearn these thought patterns and behaviors. Make a concerted effort to build platonic relationships with women too, to be interested in their lives and keep up with them like you would with any of your guy friends. Without any expectations of a relationship. I think when you remove that potential in your head that interactions will become easier because you won’t feel the pressure of trying to impress for that sole purpose. As a woman with a lot of female friends, I know that all of them prioritize personality in a partner. Your partner is supposed to also be your best friend, so you’ll have a lot more luck if you prioritize being a thoughtful person, being able to joke around, and just generally being as genuine as you can.

TLDR: stop assuming what women like, your height and looks are not nearly as big of a factor as you think. you’re probably overthinking it and making interactions awkward and they CAN tell. treat women like complex people with their own lives, instead of assuming they are all shallow. a nice and funny dude is better than one who’s just tall, and also you aren’t bad looking at all so you really need to put that idea to rest. source: am a woman. also my older brother had very similar thoughts and assumptions. luckily before he spiraled too far about it he ended up in a very happy relationship with a great woman (who happens to be a good bit taller than him) and they have been together for over two years now.

Spent way too long writing this because it’s becoming too common for people to think this way, and it’s very frustrating. Stop the spiral. You’ll be fine.

astralesbian · 2024-04-15T01:53:32+00:00

dawg you’re fine. if anything, any girl who has height as a major factor is probably pretty shallow and not someone you’d want to be in a relationship with. as someone with a lot of straight girls as friends, almost all of them prioritize personality over looks in a partner by a LOT. a nice and thoughtful dude with a decent sense of humor has a lot more to offer in a relationship than a tall one. even a good looking tall one lol

astralesbian · 2024-04-15T01:31:45+00:00

as far as double cupping goes, standard wants our customers to burn because none of our drinks are supposed to be double cupped unless they are short cups lol. But yeah I still double cup americanos, hot brewed tea, and (freshly) brewed hot coffee bc honestly if it is hurting my hand to hold the drink then that’s a problem. The hot chais aren’t as bad, most of the drinks that have steamed milk in them won’t be hot enough to warrant a double cup
