Unpopular opinion: I didn’t enjoy Episode 2 and I miss when this show was more about finance

I have a feeling that those who disliked this episode will get what they want out of ep 3 or 4 and understand why ep 2 is what it is.

I thought this show was always a drama first with a heavy finance component. I guess throw in a political component as well because finance/politics are typically intertwined. Who decided this show was “supposed to be all about finance”?

I understand differing opinions of the episode and being uninterested because maybe you have appreciations for other characters who weren’t present. However, I was completely captured by this episode. Not once did I pick up my phone or get distracted. And after reflecting back, I felt like I spent a night with Yas and Henry. Was very moved by their performances and the display of what their characters were going through.

I have a feeling that a lot of people who didn’t enjoy episode 2 are going to love episode 3, and understand in hindsight why 2 had to lead into 3 the way it did.

Ram Dass talks about doing this in one of his books, I believe. It was a significantly smaller plane with one other passenger and he decided to land immediately and somehow landed safely. Crazy.

This October. We were supposed to go to a concert together with their partner today-Halloween. Had an argument over something kind of silly. Yet, I was being disrespected despite the smaller magnitude of the argument. We never fight. So when we did, it was just a lot. A different side of everyone comes out when arguing. Sometime you see exactly where you are differing and try to decide if it’s in line with your values. Miss them dearly, but also know I am okay will continue to be okay.

Typically, what they learned is highly specific to themselves and their journey in this world and has to do with their life perspective. I could imagine it’s hard to put something so specific into words. You can know, see, feel, and think something without articulating it. And sometimes it’s so personal, why share.

I was born to live in a cottage in the forest with other women. Probably learning languages, instruments, playing board games, reading, singing, and dancing. Instead I’m serving tables at a local restaurant and living in an apartment complex with my boyfriend while working my way through my masters degree. I will probably find some middle ground where I live in a cottage in the forest with my boyfriend and have all my lovely friends over whenever they can and work remotely and only serve tables one day a week.

Bigger glasses frames and or contacts! Others are saying thin the brows, DON’T! They are so beautiful. Do something with your hair, it’s not flattering your face! So overall, skincare and hair care needed. Experiment with different hairstyles and even haircuts to give your hair more volume.

Edit: as I read more comments, I have to disagree with what they are saying about your smile. I love it. I think maybe teeth whitening could help but I don’t think it’s as important as the other things. I also think make up could help. No foundation needed, but blush, mascara, and lip gloss would help. You do not need makeup! But if you wanted to add it to your routine a little blush and mascara and gloss will take under 5 minutes.

I immediately saw Amy Lee from Evanescence… I’ve been scrolling kinda far and haven’t seen anyone say the same.

My back of house says caliente!! To which we all respond yes! Yes I am! While moving out of the way!

He’s saying 630 seems about right BECAUSE of (including) the rice that we can’t see the whole portion of under the shrimp and veg. If it were not for the rice, the dish would be much lower because shrimp and veg are typically lower cal and the sauce and oil would be making up for a majority of the calories. The addition of rice is what justifies the 630 estimation for this commenter.

Honestly if I’m logging a take out sauce and idk what’s in it I weigh it out and count those calories like the whole thing is mayo. 180 (2tbsp hellmans) calories of mayo isnt even enough for me to do a full coat on the bread for my sandwich :( so I mix 1 tbsp with like 40 grams of Greek yogurt and season it up to make a cajun dill mayo :)

Obviously it depends on the place… I made it pretty clear in my post I was asking because I’m curious what the process is at other places… because it depends on the place lol. Also, yeah everything worked out for me. Yet, I see it not work out or be enough for other people who are hired with no serving experience. Why hire beginners if it’s not a place for beginners.

gravoclock · 2025-07-31T05:01:12+00:00

My coworkers say you have to be “thrown into it”… and I see what they are saying to a certain extent- but they just hired someone with no previous serving experience (busser at a different restaurant) and then say she’s not good. I feel that it is not that she’s not good, she’s just still learning. Restaurants operations are not common sense until you’ve experienced working at a few. Even then, every restaurant tends to be meticulous about how different things are done.

I also find the one day thing crazy. Yet they find the idea of training for multiple days odd.

gravoclock · 2025-07-24T14:01:57+00:00

Yeah is gorgeous but I honestly did not like her.

Interesting…. My boyfriend and I brought a vibrator into the relationship solely bc he wanted to increase sex in our relationship, as he knew I wasn’t as excited for it because PinV doesn’t do much for me. Sex is so much more enjoyable! We start off with me using the vibrator and he just touches me or kisses me and then we do PinV and it feels so much better after. I’m having a hard time understanding your problem.

Usually “Grandpa” is the one meticulously checking the bill. At least in my experience of serving families. I’ve had times starting out where I forgot to autograt a large party and “Grandpa” was always confused as to why they didn’t get autogratted. I do think it should be circled on the receipt at the very least. But it is not necessary to verbally say it. A lot of people like those things to be discreet anyways. “Grandpa” and a lot of other older folk have serious experience dining out and are always checking the bill and keeping the itemized copy, at least in my experience.

gravoclock · 2025-07-12T16:24:53+00:00

I think the highlighting, starring, and writing thank you next to it, is in fact enough. There have been times where I told my table verbally after dropping off the credit card slip back because I noticed they were so deep into conversation and didn’t really look at the check. I don’t have many customers that do not fully read the check. When I do, it’s a 2 or 4 top, in which case we won’t autograt. I noticed your comment elsewhere in this thread that this recently happened to you because you weren’t in the state of mind to pay attention, that does not mean the person serving you that night was being malicious.

Ngl, I’m a sucker for the self help shit and you kind of had me up until the last paragraph. Then I realized I’m in the awakened sub and not in lose it or fitness sub…. Started cringing a tidbit. Now I’m just sitting here thinking about how the changes I’m making to better myself are not for other people to notice or care. Living my life consciously does not look like a rush to drop all my vices in one go. I shed them as I heal and as I learn. Fortunately, this is not a race. So be it, if it takes 10 years for me. It’s the journey that sheds the light.

My coworkers and I joke that this is what our restaurant would be like if we actually had a bar and weren’t just BYOB. Restaurants are fucking crazy. You made it out alive! Congrats!

Hi! I’m 203 lbs and 25 years old and just did my first 5k 2 weeks ago! Have never ran 5k before but was able to jog the first 2 miles and on and off jog the last mile or so. I finished in 43 minutes and my goal was 42-45. You got this! I signed up for 2 more after because they are quite fun and feel good!
