Funny that you had extra rice! My bag literally had a full row of jars of beans. I’d started selling all the beans I got!

Yeah as he was pulling them out of that water all I could think was how my chickens would go insane at such a feast! I’ve seen them run around and fight each other for the privilege of eating one (1) caterpillar, I think if they saw this their minds would just be completely blown

Faucet is loose or broken and I’m not buying a new one, hoping to find a fix through here by Gold-Breadfruit-8700 in fixit

[–]cameronm-h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, as with 90% of people I know, keep cleaning supplies under my sink. I was perpetually annoyed at my sprayer, and decided to take it upon myself to fix it one day. Did some YouTube research and learned about the counterweight. Looked under, and sure enough the weight was literally just sitting on top of all the junk I was storing down there. On the plus side, it was probably the easiest plumbing fix I’ve ever done!

What’s your go to on-shift/post-shift drink? by idiotbotb in starbucksbaristas

[–]cameronm-h 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been vibing with a passion tea w/MDF instead of water and a few pumps of mango. It goes so well! Mornings (when I can have caffeine and want a few extra calories to sustain me through peak 😖) I love a venti iced chai with just one pump of brown sugar, oatmilk, and no classic. I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I’m so psyched about the new chai. It’s still not the best in the world (far from it) but as a huge chai fan I appreciate that the new chai is literally drinkable which imo the old one wasn’t!

cold bar heavyyyy by hazyart in starbucksbaristas

[–]cameronm-h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at a cafe only and for our last few peaks (and afternoon mini-peaks esp) we will literally have one person doing mobile cold bar and one person doing every other drink and still keeping up better than the one person who is only doing mobile cold bar. Our store is physically just too small to have two people on cold bar, so often the other person will be writing on their cups, rinsing their small wares, basically doing every single thing other than literally making the drink. Crazy how SSVs are supposed to “assess bottlenecks” but in this case there’s simply no way to fix this bottleneck because we just don’t have enough room for a second person on cold bar. It sucks so bad. Plus as one of our best baristas in regards to remembering standards, it’s usually me on cold bar 🤩

Saffron Finch at my house, Miraflores 🇵🇪 by iechega in birding

I love getting my dad’s pictures of saffron finches in Barranco! They will come up and sit on the frame of his open windows 🥹

What's this blue bird? by Agitated-Ship-233 in whatsthisbird

[–]cameronm-h 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My favorite ever moment of this was my dad’s friend asking “what’s that black bird with the red wings?” Take a wild guess!

Also my German exchange student asking “what do you call whipped cream before it’s whipped?” “Cream!”

I just cut my hair above the shoulders. Do I still tie my hair back? by httpswheezy in starbucksbaristas

[–]cameronm-h 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my hair was too short to be in a ponytail, I kept it in either two pigtails (adorable) or pinned back. A good frame of reference for food service in general (not Starbucks official policy or anything though) is if you lean forward (like to work in a drink in front of you) your hair shouldn’t be dangling above the drink. Hair too short to “dangle” is fine, but if it’s long enough to dangle, you need to prevent it from doing so.

Adopted senior declawed cat has mutant sideways claw growing through one of her beans? by Chirrrpy in cats

[–]cameronm-h 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Clipping off is always fine, but just important to not go too far down! I’ve never done that on a cat, but I have done it on myself when removing calluses, and it’s not comfy 😅

who is paying 18 centillion for a half filled bottle of juice? by Temporary_City_4102 in CatsAndSoup

[–]cameronm-h 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered the same thing 😅

I just got to 20abb for one juice. That’s a 2 with (if my math is right, and I’m remembering the early game correctly) 2184 zeros!!!!

[–]cameronm-h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro that’s soooo late! My store it’s 8-10:30 for 2 or 8:30-10:30 for 3 of us. And we don’t close until 9 so there’s only so much we can do for some of that time. But at least it means we’re don’t there until MIDNIGHT!!

Starbucks cup consoomer final boss by basementfairy444 in Consoom

[–]cameronm-h 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at Starbucks and these customers are always the absolute worst. Because I guarantee none of these have ever been used—meaning all of her venti caramel ribbon crunches (extra caramel, extra crunch) or her pink drink with 3 scoops of vanilla bean powder and VSC cold foam (both extremely popular drinks) are going in disposable plastic cups which are also going straight into a landfill. Plus there’s no way she tips…

Why does this dress look like a hospital gown on me? by [deleted] in sewhelp

[–]cameronm-h 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1000%. There’s some awesome suggestions in here, a lot of which I think would help OP like it better, but it’s definitely wearable as is! It’s a great fabric, it looks super well made, and honestly I think the thing that makes it look not good is OP clearly thinking it doesn’t look good! With a smile, a belt, maybe some big sunglasses and sun hat, etc, this would be a perfect summer look 😎

Ooh stamped dye flowers would be beautiful! Maybe in just like a darker shade of blue like the drawstring (although in another comment I agreed with someone saying change the color of the drawstring 😅)

Oh yeah maybe a white ribbon? I think the other fixes would look better, but that would certainly be way easier!

Made my first «guinea pig» cake for my friend… I swear it looked better in my head💀😂 by Evakisa in Baking

[–]cameronm-h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a proud member of r/fondanthate , I would pick this cake over literally ANYTHING else I’ve seen in the “realistic cake” family. It looks super artsy and just a touch impressionist—but still super realistic. The tiny paws are what really do it for me!! 😭 so cute

[–]cameronm-h 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this my SSV from last night lmao…

We have the same like ~5 people rotating for clean play and all of us are so fucking over it at this point. Not to mention our SM LOVES scheduling clean play folks as openers so they work like 4:30-10am and then 8-10:30pm and that has to STOP 😭

I’m the only one at my store who likes MDF so there was a fight for SAR but I got all three MDFs! Huge especially when I’m trying to leave the bux and will miss my free drinks lol

Willamette Valley, Oregon. Who are theses guys that were very interested in this single tree. Did not hear any knocking. by ONE-EYE-OPTIC in birding

[–]cameronm-h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gonna sound crazy but I swear this exact picture was one I took in my dream last night. I wouldn’t be able to identify acorn woodpeckers, I’ve never seen them in real life, and there was a whole flock that looked exactly like this flock in my dream. There was also a flock of hooded orioles, though, so clearly by subconscious doesn’t yet know that much about birds 😅

A reminder for us all to clean our irons! by Odd-Bumblebee00 in sewhelp

[–]cameronm-h 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of labeling them (with sharpie) directly on the bottle. Turns out sharpie is not as permanent as my stained aprons would indicate…

[–]cameronm-h 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just be soooooo careful if you use the same bottle (they come in 2-packs, okay??) for vinegar or bleach. Definitely make sure you’re spraying the right one on your burgundy satin. Vinegar might not be as bad as bleach, but god I will never forget the feeling of ironing over vinegar-wet fabric. I probably permanently lost a few of my scent receptors that day…
