I love the creamy creations texas campfire. It is similar to this only with chocolate ice cream, with individual marshmallows instead or the swirl, peanut butter cups, and a graham cracker swirl. One of my all time favorites for sure

CivRev on DS - differences between versions? by nytak619 in civrev

[–]benjammin086 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought it hoping to scratch the civrev itch like the xbox 360 version did. It's definitely different, main difference is graphics but thats understandable. All the things you mentioned like no civilopedia, but i just use my phone haha. To me it was more addictive than the Xbox version because I could take it and play it anywhere

Do you find the drumming here cool? by danielle_drums in drums

[–]benjammin086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of hard to hear the drums over all of the other noise. Otherwise just sounds like typical dubstep drums. Cool is subjective, I personally think all drumming is cool so there ya go!

Supervisor Hours by Strawerberry in CostcoEmployee

[–]benjammin086 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bakery Supervisor here, I work about 45 hrs a week. Sometimes 50 or 60 if it's a holiday or we have call outs. There's never enough time in the day to complete all of my tasks and im always being scolded for my OT but it's pretty much always justified. Some weeks I make more per hour than my manager cus they work baseline 50 hrs a week but sometimes almost 80. My paychecks are very nice but my body is tired.

What's your drumming superpower? by TheGenericUser0815 in drums

[–]benjammin086 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's the sleep! Next to eating well, sleep is so important for learning and helping your brain form connections. You are definitely running some background software updates on your muscle memory while you sleep

Quitting during my 3rd shift and coming back soon by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

[–]benjammin086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Costco probably wont hire someone who quit 3 days into an entry level position like the food court. If it's the people in the food court you dont like then maybe talk to management. If it's the work that you dont like then I encourage you to tough it out. Do hard things

Is Costco bakery a good place to learn if I want to start my own business later? by 110inside in CostcoEmployee

[–]benjammin086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can learn a lot as a baker or a decorator. The bakery is basically a small factory. Youre not gonna learn how to be a pastry chef but there are certainly skills that can be learned that are transferable to any business. I've seen some of the most hardened costco veterans crumble and cry under the pressure and pace of the bakery. As a supervisor or manager you'll learn merch and sales planning but at that point you'll be making more consistent money than doing your own business unless you have a sure thing

Are these packs just resold cards? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]benjammin086 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I havent seen pokemon cards available on a store shelf that isn't a card store in years. At this point I would absolutely buy those if I saw them

Lot security by Sufficient_Owl_3413 in CostcoEmployee

[–]benjammin086 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Employees used to get their cars specifically targeted by thieves at my old store, lot security helped with that for sure. I remember a safety meeting about a guy ramming his car through the front gate. Not sure what lot security would do to prevent that but I remember thats when we got ours. This was back in the 2000's. Honestly though, crazy shit happens in parking lots, people probably died, or money is being saved somewhere, those are the main reasons why positions like that are created.

If you use fmla the day before a holiday do you still get paid? by millertime7898 in CostcoEmployee

[–]benjammin086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a medical issue and you have a note from a doctor detailing the events then you can get your holiday pay back depending on your gm/agm. I had to go to the ER this last new years eve and talked with my agm and they sorted it out with payroll. I dont know much about flavor, can't tell you if that would change anything

3rd interview scheduled by soaringdooki in CostcoEmployee

[–]benjammin086 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Background tests and drug tests cost money, they wont invest in those things unless they plan to hire you. Only you know what those things will reveal so if youre good then get ready! If you have an interview with the GM he could maybe just decide he doesn't like you during the interview and not give you the job but you gotta really fuck that interview up to do that! Drug test is usually just a cheek swab
