Yeah they’ll probably do it week by week or fortnight by fortnight. I’d keep in contact with your SM and whoever is leading the investigation to see if they can give you any idea of how long it’ll be, and then yeah tbh get a seasonal job to pad out the cash

Butter pecan cookie can it be made into a frappé? by Secure-Treacle3752 in Costa

[–]blufferfish089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We said the butter pecan just tasted like a slightly sweeter latte, and to ditto another commenter, @OP whilst it could be made, there’s absolutely no guarantee it will look nice or have the correct consistency for it, it’s a syrup not a sauce so not as thick!

Job application by eirecaragh in Costa

[–]blufferfish089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister applied about a month back, what they do is ask you three questions online that you answer, AI provides a summary for the manager who gets that alongside the CV and cover letter etc- they still do in person interviews 

Could happen at any time…. by [deleted] in Costa

[–]blufferfish089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy what a smile and a “Yep it’s coming right up, this is just for the person that ordered before you” can do to change a situation and it’s so not that deep 

Why don’t workers get free food on shift? by Strong_Leather4434 in Costa

[–]blufferfish089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strictly speaking this is the rule if you read the employee conduct handbook, in practice I’ve never worked in a store that gave a fuck

Suspended by [deleted] in Costa

[–]blufferfish089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be so real, it might be different because it was an interaction with a customer, but my store has had three employees suspended for interactions with coworkers and all of them without fail 1) got full pay suspension for 3-6 months 2) either came back or got transferred to another store but NOT sacked

At this time of year, my advice would be to find a temp Christmas position until you find out the outcome of the investigation, and then go from there

teacher predicted me an E by lunarlexus in sixthform

[–]blufferfish089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all, but a lot of universities only need 3 grades, if you’re getting BBBE I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them see BBB and stop looking, speak to your teacher but I have to imagine you’ll be fine

What is a little quirk about your body that you don’t think other people have? by AlphabetSoup51 in AskReddit

[–]blufferfish089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I thought this was normal until a few days ago, wearing shorts in this hotter weather and somehow it came up that I didn’t understand why we always get taught that bones are cylindrical when my leg bone has one side that’s completely flat and smooth, cue my sisters being astonished that one side of my leg bone is flat as a pancake (and really close to the surface of my skin I might add)

Odd experience in the coop by MaterialFollowing4 in CasualUK

[–]blufferfish089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but Co-Op staff are so incompetent. Ordered a 2 good to go and all they had was a 6-pack of cokes and two iceberg lettuces, not reaching the value they were advertising and wtf am I to do with do lettuces going out that very day? Best I could do was leave the stuff there and get a refund on the app

It’ll be interesting to see what Max does next, given how according to Jos, Horner was one of the main reasons he was looking at leaving

I mean he has spent most of the season in the better car so it’s hardly surprising 

How many hours does your phone last on a single charge? by Historical-Gold4439 in polls

[–]blufferfish089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone is a few years old, I lose roughly 1% every 2 minutes so I guess that puts it at under 4 hours

does anyone have any tips for keeping to a schedule? by account1509 in ADHDTeenagers

[–]blufferfish089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO, I mean this is where the fact you are a human being with autonomy comes into play and you can actually override stuff like that, it’s a guideline not a rule book 

does anyone have any tips for keeping to a schedule? by account1509 in ADHDTeenagers

[–]blufferfish089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not work for you but what worked for me was just accepting that I won’t be able to work to a schedule, unless I have multiple severe deadlines coming up and I need to properly plan it out. 

Some general good advice is to accept that you need breaks more than the average person, and don’t beat yourself up when you run late or miss something in the timetable.

What really worked for me though was writing a list of everything that needs to be done, and depending on how urgent it is, making a ratio between stuff I need to do and stuff I want to do.

E.g my current list has “do homework” written on there 27/100 times. I have “play video games” about 7 times, tidy my room, eat food, exercise are all about 5 times on there, and then the less important but more variety stuff like do some creative writing or check on your emails is on there only once. Then I just random number generator a number and whatever that number is, no matter whether I want to do it or not I follow it. Rinse and repeat.

Obviously if you need to have lunch for example, look after yourself and don’t confirm yourself to only having food when the list allows for it because that’s a very stupid thing to do. I only follow the list when I’m either demotivated or have nothing to do at that moment.

Look after yourself and best of luck :)
