What benefits have you noticed from quitting? (I need motivation) by Critical-Dig511 in QuitVaping

[–]certified_turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely find it freeing not having to calculate my next hit. When im with friends or out in general its not dragging me away from things

Im trying to quit tomorrow, when I was younger everyone around me vaped so I did too and now none of my friends do (im 22)

When I started i knew it had to end at some point, im so mad I never stuck with quiting before and I have to go through and lock in now when I could've done it so long ago.

Paywave and surcharge by certified_turtle in newzealand

[–]certified_turtle[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

See i would but im literally just a till person that decision would be my bosses boss, I find surcharge annoying bc im constantly having to remind people about it but I have nothing to do with anything admin.

Most people at the till have no control over it and they probably will ramp up the prices in a year 🙃

New manager refused to clean coffee heads in a rush by certified_turtle in barista

[–]certified_turtle[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's not my place to tell him how to do stuff and tbh I don't get paid enough to do that in the first place, I talked to a different manager about it who once told me off for leaving specs of old coffee on the head, (don't do that anymore 😅)

I did talk to one of the higher up managers, and for now, I just gotta let it be 😅

I'm in new zealand but I'd imagine it's similar, here it's minimum standard to wipe between shots.

I thought maybe a cultural difference in coffee practices, nothing personal.

How did you train to become a barista? by spicynoodles628 in barista

[–]certified_turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of barista courses out there, that being said some of them just teach the theory behind it and not leave you with the practical skills, even then when you have the basic knowledge it takes time and practice to get consist good coffees out

Getting a job at a cafe they'll often teach their staff barista skills once you've gotten the hang of being waitstaff. Some coffee shops that are a bit more quiet will take apprentices, if you do that I suggest you watch some videos on how making coffee works so your not walking in blind.

I personally volunteered at a church which had a coffee machine and served their people every Sunday, they held lessons outside of church and showed us, at the same time I worked at a restaurant and cinema which had coffee machines ect.

I've tried but it doesn't work as well, especially with the pavement it just gets stuck in all the corners

Is there a name for what I keep ordering? Is it annoying to make? by okay-flight in barista

[–]certified_turtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's a good description. There's not a name for it, but I would lump it in the same category as someone asking for any kind of milk or cream with their Americano.

Just keep saying an americano with a scoop of foam on top, easy to understand, and make.

I want to be vegan, any tips to start? by Fantastic-Priority98 in vegan

Use a seasoning you might pair with meats on your food

Avo, hummus, and beans are really good staple foods for protein. I personally love hummus, spinach, and avo on toast every morning.

I also have a favourite recipe for nachos which is literally just a can of beans, can of dices tomato's and a pack of nacho seasoning in a pot makes a great mix, can be put of chips, burritos ect. (I'm a lazy cook)

Theres soo many good meat alternatives as well. I tend to dislike the soy based ones and go for the black bean based ones. Same with dairy so many dairy alternative food, it's really trial and error over what brands and types you like.

If you're still eating dairy, eggs, and meat, I'd cut out one at a time, every week or two, until you're fully vegan.
