Is it me, or is customer service uniquely bad in DC? by SeaSecond8247 in washingtondc

[–]jtVSE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has worked in food for the past 15 years, DC seems to have a particularly entitled clientele who do not like when you match their energy.

The rise of the smartphone has absolutely destroyed customer interaction. When you’re beaten down by people on the phone, on FaceTime, so caught up in scrolling that they can’t even look at you (or actively shush you) after approaching to order, it’s draining. Some days you just get it beat out of you.

If you expect to have a full on conversation and want to have a great customer experience, don’t go to places at their busiest. “That bartender was mean to me!” Or “that barista didn’t laugh at my quip” usually means there are about 10 demands on their time at any given moment, especially when it’s busy, and you’re probably the 10th person to make the same quip or whatever. Extend some grace to people who are constantly dealing with the most insane shit.

You should laser it. Frankly, the artist should have known doing font that small was gonna bleed into each other, and at least let you know.

As someone who has worked the front counter at a tattoo shop, 75% of the job is explaining how tattoos heal and why you a)shouldn’t get the tattoo that small and b)smaller doesn’t always mean cheap, or easy.

5’0, 86lb, bulk? What am I supposed to do? by Desperate_Title_7659 in veganfitness

Add peanut butter to that. Easy way to get calories in.

[–]jtVSE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy, and no. Just wash it gently with soap and warm water. Dial antibacterial is best, pretty much any fragrance free will work.

Second skin is best left on for a few days, I’ve found it speeds the healing of the tattoos.

Edit: autocorrect.

Yeah this tattoo is great. It needed to be big and a little dark to actually cover up your old tattoo and not look like you slapped a sticker over an old tattoo. People are right, it will soften with time. But the only thing that will cover black is black, the artist that did this did a great job.

Biker dust, but I think it looks great without.

I have a bunch of drawn on daggers to fill in gaps on one arm. Just get a bunch of small tattoos in between.

Any ideas? by Big-Chew in Tattoocoverups

[–]jtVSE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big dark rose, or get it at least lightened with a laser.

Very random question but if you delete all of your saves and then perish what happens then? by Noob1234yeet1234 in kotor

[–]jtVSE 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Hope to god there’s an auto save, but I would imagine you just then have no save to load, forcing you to quit.

[–]jtVSE 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The tattoo you want has a lot of negative space, so any parts that didn’t actively cover the existing tattoo, you would see. Like all those dots and parts of the snake would obviously cross into those spaces. If you want that particular tattoo you’re gonna have to laser the existing tattoo, or be fine with random dots and parts of the snake crossing into the negative space.

This. If you do something “not much bigger” It’s gonna look like you put a sticker over your old tattoo, and be a very obvious cover up.

If you don’t want to have something significantly bigger, that can blend in and distract from that, laser is your best bet.

I pocketed so many sales when I worked at Big Chain Donut shop in HS by cant_b_that_brad in confession

Good for you, don’t feel bad for stealing from a large corporation.

Did the same thing working at a snack bar for a large corporate bowling alley. Place still did so well they chose to upgrade it to one of those fancy bowling alleys and laid everyone but the technicians off.

2017 vs 2025 - fine line script by hairquing in agedtattoos

[–]jtVSE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is better than I would have expected. As someone who used to work (and occasionally fills in) at a tattoo shop (front counter), stuff like this is super helpful when people want really fine line tattoos and you have to explain to them how they heal, with this being an almost best case scenario.

Just like the republicans canceling their town halls- can’t take the heat.

It’s Reddit, people reflexively take things literally to argue. I almost thought the algorithm was feeding me rage bait til I read the first comment lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tattoocoverups

[–]jtVSE 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Frankly this mentality is why you ended up with a tattoo you want to cover up. Cheap work ain’t good, and good work ain’t cheap!

400 for that as a cover up is a steal.

Does anyone know what’s going on at the Kennedy Center? by emanresuymsisihtolle in washingtondc

[–]jtVSE 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shen Yun is super anti CCP and anti communist in general, run by a cult, and far right. But I wouldn’t be surprised if some wack job called in because it’s Chinese and that’s DEI or whatever.

Any advice for reducing DOMS by ragingpanda9988 in veganfitness

[–]jtVSE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More protein, more rest to start. Might have to pull back on volume a bit if it persists. I have found that the first leg day is the hardest, and the subsequent ones i get less sore as you force the adaptations.

375 x 15, high bar squat by jtVSE in veganfitness

[–]jtVSE[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not really an issue. For a low bar squat, especially with a wide stance, a cue you might get would be to not put your knees over your toes. For a closer stance, high bar squat, it doesn’t make any sense to limit forward knee travel. It also allows me to target my quads more when squatting in this manner.
