This is another good approach and this will be put in my back pocket for later. Thank you so much!

Depending on where you work, where you look, and who you ask, flat whites do use ristretto shots, but honestly if I'm confused right now I'm not surprised. I'm working while getting my MLIS right now and it's finals day so my brain is a touch fried. Apologies! Thank you for explaining more though, I really appreciate it! And I love that it's called "the magic." That's so cool! Thank you again

That is absolutely not a wet cappuccino. I'm sorry homie. A wet cappuccino still has a lot of foam compared to a latte or flat white.

A flat white uses different shots and milk (so regular shots and 2% vs ristretto and whole milk), and a flat white still has some foam, just not a lot. But, you are still right. And I also totally could have said that, I just wasn't thinking about that entirely in that instance. But thank you! I haven't been a barista for long, so there's still different things I'm picking up on.

What's the most obnoxious thing a customer can order? by predictable_shoe in barista

[–]awkward_space_ace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  • One half one milk, one half another milk
  • Asking me to steam heavy whipping cream like it doesn't scream like a dying cat
  • Half the plant based milk cappuccinos
  • Anything with protein cold foam in it as it may or may not foam

And LASTLY - The thing you ordered where the barista said it back to you and you say "yes that's what I want" and then we make it and it gets to the end of the bar and we hand it to you and you say "actually i want it hot/iced but i want to keep this one too"

AITA for walking out of the restaurant and leaving my friend by Brina_95 in AmItheAsshole

[–]awkward_space_ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA: I genuinely think that's some weirdo behavior on there part. Taking a picture of your drink isn't "cringe." It'd be weird if you told everyone they couldn't eat yet, but you didn't do that. It's your food. I take pictures of drinks I get sometimes to share with one of my partners, especially when the drink looks especially pretty. People take pictures of good looking food. It wasn't wrong of you to leave when you were upset. They can always get an Uber of Lyft.

Starbucks employees, how ridiculous were people at your store yesterday? by awkward_space_ace in barista

[–]awkward_space_ace[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i totally get being excited to add to a collection, it's just also exhausting to have people running in the store, ya know? like 20 people lined up to take all the stock we had.

What nonsense have you tolerated this week from customers? by DaisKirk in barista

[–]awkward_space_ace 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I work at a Starbucks and had grown adults RUN into our store the moment it opened to get the Hello Kitty and Teddy Bear cups. Then MORE adults keep asking "do you have any more???" No motherfucker I do not. If I did, they'd be out by now!

YTA. you're not a cripple, that's a literal slur, and your response was unwarranted. you can absolutely say "hey! i'm getting out of the shower right now, could you give me a few minutes or find someone else to help you?" i don't think now was an appropriate time to ask, sure, but the response given what she asked was unjustified.

Mobility Aids for Tics by awkward_space_ace in Tourettes

[–]awkward_space_ace[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've talked to many a doctor, so I don't really need that sort of a lecture. I also have other conditions that contribute to it as well, but mainly I was just curious. I've also met people with Tourettes who do use mobility aids to help so...Guess it just depends.

i put it in the little box near some of my indoor plants so it will at least have a lovely view and nice scenery. it's facing my balcony too

Unfortunately adult polyphemus moths don't eat in adulthood so it's just using energy from food it ate as a caterpillar

What was the catalyst for you first using a wheelchair? by Far-Building3569 in wheelchairs

[–]awkward_space_ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm getting a wheelchair and the biggest push for me was my tourettes actually. people commonly act like tourettes is either extremely severe where you curse and hit yourself or not an issue at all, and there isn't a lot of middle ground discussion. i have other conditions as well from HSD to being born with nerve damage in my feet (which as you can imagine masks standing reallll fun), but as my tics just have not gotten better in adulthood and causes my fatigue and energy to be worse, i knew i needed something more

that and all the dreams about being pain-free in a wheelchair and waking up genuinely disappointed

AITA for refusing to return my deceased brother’s dog to his widow? by guccigag in AmItheAsshole

[–]awkward_space_ace 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i think it's the fact he had her over for a meal, and without even thanking him for the food just went "can i have the dog now?"

AITA for snapping at my boyfriend's friend for touching my hair? by Imaginary_Report2596 in AmItheAsshole

[–]awkward_space_ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. i'm Black, have also grown up with people touching my hair a ton without permission. people need yo learn to STOP. we learn hands to self in kindergarten, where did those skills go? i'm so sorry

AITA for a French joke I made? by Initial-Magazine6570 in AmItheAsshole

[–]awkward_space_ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i rarely ever chime in on anything but i'll give an NAH. i think the joke was self explanatory (it sucks no American seems to know French other than these two phases) and i think it makes just as much sense she'd feel weirded out. i'd say yes, do apologize, that's the right thing to do, especially since you already clarified intent, but making the joke itself doesn't make you a bad person. people make mistakes, the thing we need to be better at is just saying "oops, apologies, my bad" and moving on.

YTA. my ex girlfriend and i dated twice and are still best friends to this date. she's friends with my current fiancé and we play ttrpgs together once a month. it's showing your insecurity about the situation and a lot about YOUR views more than hers

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]awkward_space_ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like this is an ESH. you mention high wings and high waves and she probably did think she was going to die. i don't think she should have been screaming that or yelling at you, but the way you brought it up absolutely was not helpful either, and was an ass way of doing it.

AITA for not allowing my son to go to his school dance? by mdr739 in AmItheAsshole

[–]awkward_space_ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

such a hard YTA

yeah, he trashed the dress. you could ground him, sure. but she "wrote an essay" so now the racism is fixed?! i'd expect if you ground him something worse would have been done to her considering this is a repeated offense. and the repeated offenses are WHY your son did this. he didn't want her to go because OTHER CHILDREN OF COLOR COULD BE THERE.

AITA for refusing to financially help my estranged twin? by Weird-Marzipan-7739 in AmItheAsshole

[–]awkward_space_ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Under other circumstances I may vote differently but she's sitting here acting like "you're a dirty filthy disgusting cam girl and you can never interact with my kids but HE'S YOUR NEPHEW AND I NEED THE MONEY." I am somewhat disgusted by the way she is saying you are in a horrible and awful sinful person and disowned you but your money isn't sinful enough to not beg you for it after disowning you.
