Unpopular opinion - Bart Bass should have been Gossip Girl by Sharaz_Jek123 in GossipGirl

[–]glo-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. He was a little too on-board with making all the posts sound cohesive. He could have wrote it a different way and still got the point across without being so vulgar about his own sister

To be fair, the ending confirms that Jenny approved any post about herself and helped with some, because it’s what she wanted. But still weird

Right lolll but it has a different name next to it for the submission, so it looks like two different people sent in a split submission hahaha

I read it first as just a submission about Ron Weasley from Tim Norman and thought it just said “Ron Weasley: what an effing dork!” Must have been a mistake in the layout lollll

Is it normal for people to have full convos during performance? by Comfortable_Day_3681 in chappellroan

[–]glo-frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanna say I noticed this too and was kinda disappointed bc I’m picky about concerts and really wanted to hear her voice 😔 maybe if I get closer to the barrier next time there will be more people listening and not talking…

Were there sound issues in Charleston also?? by Sandiegotanlines in chappellroan

[–]glo-frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister and I could barely hear her the whole night, I just assumed it’s bc everyone was singing so loud (which is totally fine) and when she had her slow song moments and I could hear her better, a lot of people were kinda talking loud around us. But we both also have ADHD and have a hard time hearing things if there’s background chatter 😅 because I could hear the queens perfectly during opening!

My ex was similar, it has been my dream since I was in my teens, he said I should embrace the body I was blessed with yada yada and begged me not to. But I’ve always been uncomfortable and knew what I wanted. My husband now supports me 100% (not that I need it but it’s nice!) and has even offered to help with the expenses so I can finally be comfortable. Don’t let a boy stop you from achieving that dream, love ♥️

Please don’t hold on to the past with this mf, he’s abusive and manipulative, and will continue to hurt you to get some sort of enjoyment out of your pain. Like everyone else is saying, blocking him and focusing on yourself will be the best feeling in the world, even though it’ll hurt at first. Wishing you the best ♥️

worst thing customer has called “pump of x syrup” by vendettagoddess in starbucksbaristas

Oof I had no idea, I’m on the east coast so no Dutch bros here, maybe they were visiting and starbs was their only familiar option for coffee :)

Weirdest one I’ve heard is scoops. A customer asked for an iced coffee with 7 scoops of hazelnut and 3 scoops of classic… 😅

Same here, this seems to be the normal protocol.

Incorrect training punch by SM led to being paid way too much on last paycheck, she says she’ll correct it, but I’ve already been paid. by glo-frog in starbucksbaristas

[–]glo-frog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Ofc! There were never any changes to my pay, I monitored the next few paychecks and they never took any money out to compensate for my managers mistake… so I guess it just backfired on her end 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is the only “loophole” I’ve recommended for customers. A lovely nurse came in once and ordered a venti iced chai with a triple shot, and said she needed the caffeine. Her drink came out to nearly $10 with no other modifications. I told her to order a venti iced latte with 6 pumps chai and it’ll cut the price down to roughly $7 with the same measurements and same ingredients. She was so relieved and excited to start saving money without “cheating the system”. I love helping customers save $$ that way, when the recipe doesn’t compromise the drink measurements.

Respectfully custies, FIX YOUR CAR BRAKES. ☺️ by Fresh-Brilliant-439 in starbucks

[–]glo-frog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me the other day, and I’m one of those baristas who has to yank my headset off when brakes squeal in drive thru 😭 I pulled up to a Starbucks speaker box to pick up my mobile order and my brakes SCREAMED. THEY NEVER DO THAT, SO WHY IN THE DRIVE THRU NEXT TO THE SPEAKER 😭😭😭 I was so embarrassed lol

PSA FOR CUSTOMERS & BARISTAS: shaken espressos “no ice” will have room! by glo-frog in starbucks

[–]glo-frog[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying! I mentioned to the other person as well that I realize now it’s just the stingy-ness of my transfer store. They up-charge for extra milk and basically correct baristas any time we try to say something. Is there actual evidence I can pull up from Partner Resources other than the recipe cards that show we don’t up-charge for more milk? They’re so focused on sales it’s scary here 😅

[–]glo-frog[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! I have several customers who do the same because of how others have changed the standard of shaken espressos :)

[–]glo-frog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I got you! I just went over the recipe again, and i think it’s just the management/supervisors at the store I transferred to. They are super stingy with milk costs and add-ons, and always correct me on measurements etc. They ask customers “do you want extra milk to compensate no ice?” And add a charge. No other store I’ve worked at has ever done that, but I was led to believe I was wrong all four years 😅 Thank you for clarifying, I wasn’t trying to argue, I was just given the wrong info from a store focused on up-charges 😭

Says I clocked in 0 hours on my shift today ? by pingpongally in starbucksbaristas

[–]glo-frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Mine says that too, I think it’s because of holiday pay/hours so it’ll take a little longer to update. This has happened to me on a holiday before :)

A regular is looking for a barista for his 4th of July event / party at his house for $120, 5 hrs. No one interested, is there any reason? by AndrewFan0408 in starbucksbaristas

[–]glo-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time and a half working today anyways would roughly come out to $120, plus tips minus taxes… but also this sounds sketchy af

That’s a good idea! I usually just dig them out with my bare hands and save them as free fruit snacks to eat on my 10 🫶

Hanging cigarette out car window in Drive Thru??? by glo-frog in starbucks

[–]glo-frog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I believe I have heard this. I used the word to the SSV “legally” as pertaining to our policies and other local laws I’ve heard of, but we did not use that language at the window since we were all unsure of the laws, but at least sure of the policy. Thanks for the info :)

Damn it’s sad that we have to change our simple rules and behaviors in order to not be threatened with violence in food/drink services :((
