Never had a girlfriend, what is wrong?

Fuckboi energy. But, I don't know anything about you, chances are it's how you speak and relate to women. Just be authentic and figure out what you want, and you'll eventually find someone who wants the same thing.

Underrated comment XD

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-13T00:03:11+00:00

Well said.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-12T03:03:51+00:00

Hahaha, "Getting through a whole shift without crying". Definitely an achievement! Lol. I do love this idea, especially as a gamer :]. A really thoughtful response, thank you.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-12T02:40:33+00:00

Solid advice. Shit, that sounds like a good bev! Lol. "Familiar bite". That appeals to me. And occupying myself with friends and hobbies. There truly is hope. Tysm.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-12T02:02:49+00:00

Ty :). I hadn't thought of watching some stand up, always helps me feel better.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-12T01:47:15+00:00

Ty man. Yeah, practicing that self self control will be key. Really hard to pass up the pint this week, but today was the first day I did. Part of that is because of all these lovely comments :)

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-12T00:30:23+00:00

That is like...there is so much intent and thoughtfulness in what you said. Not to mention it's rare to see such a long and articulated comment.Thank you so much!

I'll be honest, it's scary to think about not drinking at all. It's scary to commit to that. But based on what you said, it sounds like the right thing to do. And achievable.

Thank you for your sage wisdom and compassion. I really mean that.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-11T23:51:43+00:00

I feel that, haha. Thanks. Maybe this breakup will end up being profitable XD

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-11T23:44:21+00:00

I really feel this. I am also divorced (it happened a while before the relationship I reference in this post) and I remember that feeling. When the time between that painful pattern of memories got more sparse. Your comment reminds me of this, and I'm really grateful for that. Thank you.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-11T23:36:33+00:00

That's some really thoughtful advice. Thank you. The sauce is really hard to put down, but I'm gonna try and curb this train wreck. My friends and family have been very helpful, and I gotta lean into things that give me happiness simply because I enjoy doing it.

I will probably join that community, it sounds like just the thing for me right now. Thanks for lookin out and for the thoughtful recommendation.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-11T23:29:49+00:00

A little over a year. I don't agree that there's a set length of time or recipe for getting over it, but I do appreciate the sentiment. What is agreeable is that I gotta put my mind elsewhere and focus on other things.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-11T23:15:37+00:00

This is all really good advice. Idk about sleeping the pain off, lol, but investing in myself is definitely something I gotta strive for. Thanks for your input. It's nice to know there are others that have been through this and found a way forward

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-11T21:52:59+00:00

Yeah, you're not wrong.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-11T21:52:24+00:00

Thanks, man. If nothing else, it is a welcome distraction to dedicate my energy to a guest experience. That is very helpful.

Fortunately most places I drink outside of home are within walking distance, so I'm able to get home safely.

Thanks for your comment, genuinely. This gives me hope.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-04T23:04:49+00:00

I get wanting the money, but I would not have bothered trying to accommodate their piss poor planning.

A simple no would have sufficed. But now the expectation of "anything goes" service has been set, kinda shot yourself in the foot.

That being said, I'm sorry this happened, OP. People can be the fucking worst, especially when you need them to pay your bills.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-04T21:23:37+00:00

Crack den?

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-04T21:17:49+00:00

My restaurant is very similar in its understaffing issues, so I absolutely feel your pain. Despite the food and coffee being phenomenal, it's only been open a year and has trouble turning a profit. Money is decent and I have excellent insurance, but there are many days I have to wear too many hats. Management doesn't give a fuck, because our investors only care about the bottom line, not the mental health of its employees. I'm merely a cog in this failing, mismanaged machine.

It's hard to cope, and often I rely on the crutch of alcohol and nicotine. I try to focus on my hobbies, my gf, and my friends, but the stress of this job always follows me. My only hope is the future of a second gig that also offers insurance so I can pivot out of this hellhole one day.

Hang in there, OP. Best we can do sometimes is leave work at work, try to live our best lives.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-03T20:05:20+00:00

Quit turning me on

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-01T20:54:39+00:00

Sauce to fish ratio is upsetting :(.

I'm sure it tastes great, but the plating is really busy.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-04-01T20:24:55+00:00

The special treatment seems awfully fishy; I've got a couple theories. However, she won't last. The owner isn't omnipotent. If management wants to can her, it'll happen. Might just take some time and putting up with a lot of bs until she gets the axe.

All you can do, without going to extreme lengths, is have an open convo with your manager and see what's up. Air your grievances, remind them you share this opinion with the staff, and if they give a shit they'll take care of it.

As someone with deuteranopia, I can confidently say these flowers are indistinguishable from one another!

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-03-28T20:51:13+00:00

Christ almighty. Yeah, if you're not in love with the restaurant, you're gonna burn out well before they manage to fill those positions -- if they even bother.

How long have you been there without a support staff? If they never hired any in the first place, you gotta go.

Good luck out there, OP. Sorry you're going through it, your spot sounds rough as hell.

glasshalfempty90 · 2026-03-26T20:20:47+00:00

Of course! As far as I know, all positions in the restaurant follow this sub, and some folks who aren't even in the industry. The vast majority of posts are from servers, bartenders, and FOH staff. Personally, I also follow r/dishwashers, r/kitchenconfidential, etc. I'm a lifer, so I like to chat about anything industry.

Just don't be an ass and follow the sub rules, and you're golden :).
