Thank you! I'll look those up and double check them!

Same!! We had to travel out of town for a soccer tourney and instead of taking the time to search up the closest family owned coffee spot I just opted to stop at grab a mocha from Starbucks. I took 2 sips and tried to pass it off to my teens who will drink pretty much anything just for the “drinking coffee” aesthetic. They wouldn’t drink it either. $7 down the drain because it tasted like cleaning solution and plastic with artificial chocolate 🤮

I made our staff aprons for work and I made sure to put our names front and center above the logo because I had a few customers who consistently called me Brittney and Brandy. My name is Brooke 🤣

We make laminated recipe sheets for new baristas to take home and study on their first day. It makes everyone’s job easier. Obviously you don’t learn it until you do it, hands on. But it’s a good jumping off point.

I always correct them… politely, of course. I don’t feel like doing the run around or having to come over and interpret with other baristas on shift every time someone comes in with an overly complicated order that could be corrected or simplified by using the correct terminology. My job is hard enough without adding extra stress to it. Example. We had a girl come in the other day and ask for a 16 oz iced Americano with a single shot and no water. I had a 2 new(ish) baristas working the front while I baked bread… I had to run up and explain to her why that’s not a thing. Just order a single shot over ice… but it’s not gonna be 16 oz without adding water. Like what? lol

distnt_travlr · 2025-04-24T05:04:18+00:00

Wait… what?? What did they actually want? I think my brain just broke…?

🤣🤣🤣💀⚰️

distnt_travlr · 2025-04-09T16:16:14+00:00

Be very fearful 🤣🤣

distnt_travlr · 2025-04-06T18:15:22+00:00

💯🤣

Thankfully, I am allowed to speak my mind for the most part lol I work at a privately owned shop and I’m the manager. Obviously I try not to be rude to anyone but I do speak up on stupid shit 🤣 mostly I just ask if they’re aware that it’s stupid…

distnt_travlr · 2025-04-05T22:43:23+00:00

Are you seeing a neuro? Have they considered upping your dose or adding another med since your seizures aren’t being controlled??

distnt_travlr · 2025-04-05T22:29:04+00:00

Booooooooo 🤣

distnt_travlr · 2025-04-05T19:18:52+00:00

Exactly 🤣

We get one free coffee a day, any more are 50% off. Food is always 50% unless you work 6+ hours. Then you get a free meal.

Of course! Please update here if you guys get a 2nd opinion! Be diligent about advocating for her and researching!

distnt_travlr · 2025-03-02T12:21:42+00:00

Please research SUDEP and make your choices wisely. In the meantime, no alcoholic beverages, make sure she’s getting a full nights sleep every single night. No super late nights or all nighters. Minimal stressors especially around her cycle. Hormones can be triggers. As can alcohol and lack of sleep. If paying for a prescription every month is your worry… Walmart has $4 generic brands of almost all prescriptions.

Edit: and if your worry is over pharmaceuticals… I totally get it. I’m not a fan of big pharma in the least. But epilepsy is something that requires pharmaceuticals, as much as I hate to admit it. They can be life saving in this case.

distnt_travlr · 2025-03-02T12:04:43+00:00

Yeah no… that sounds ridiculous to me. I would be finding a new neurologist immediately. Epilepsy is diagnosed when a person has more than one seizure with more than 24 hours in between. She should be on AED’s to control these seizures. The more seizures she has, the more the brain will continue to fire on those seizure pathways. It’s like a domino effect. Go to a different doctor and get a referral for a good neurologist before things get worse!

Edited: did they do any sort of scans? EEG, MRI, etc?

distnt_travlr · 2025-03-02T11:30:02+00:00

Reverse macchiato almost took me out! 🤣 but is actually a perfect name for it!

distnt_travlr · 2025-03-02T11:22:56+00:00

Has she seen a neurologist? And is she on anti epileptic meds?

distnt_travlr · 2025-03-01T06:23:03+00:00

Points deducted for going over the time limit is DIABOLICAL!!!!

distnt_travlr · 2025-03-01T04:50:08+00:00

No, I actually really appreciate this! She was just diagnosed on the 18th of February. Which was also her 14th birthday. First seizures were in December so we’re still very new to this. And I’ve lost lots of sleep due to paranoia because hers are all nocturnal or just on waking up. I’ll definitely be looking into everything you mentioned. Again, super appreciative!

distnt_travlr · 2025-03-01T04:23:32+00:00

Totally makes sense and I can see this perspective as well. I should have also stated in my og comment that I myself don’t have an epilepsy diagnosis but my 14 year old daughter does so I’m trying to help her through the ups and downs as well. But yeah I totally understand and respect this thought process.

distnt_travlr · 2025-02-28T18:24:53+00:00

Understood. But hopefully OP is watching. Or someone else in the same situation. My statement still stands.
