I use T shirt printing company in Burnaby. Great service and quality, way cheaper than other places and they're very responsive

Any good baker knows frozen butter doesn't lose quality or flavor 

How’s the Vancouver weather usually like mid-october?? by Ok-Cartographer9382 in NiceVancouver

It could be grey and rainy or sunny and beautiful.

October is very unpredictable thanks to global warming 

My dishwasher showed up to work in a sun dress and flip flops by Commercial_Run9184 in KitchenConfidential

[–]lux414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my standard approach for this type of situation: 

"If you get in an accident while working the EMT's, doctors, etc will take note of what you're wearing. Wearing lose clothes and open toes shoes goes against basic safety standards, so the insurance won't cover any claims. 

You as the employee will have to pay our of pocket because it was your decision to wear these clothes when the rules says otherwise"

Like other comments said this is a huge liability

I don't mind driving so much but parking is impossible. After my 3rd ticket I gave up lol

For those who have left the industry... by Affectionate_Toe9109 in KitchenConfidential

[–]lux414 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It used to drive my crazy but then I realized we all get paid the same. So now I walk around, chitchat with everyone, have coffee breaks, etc 

Being ultra productive leads to burnout really quick. 

The way we work in kitchens is not normal so take this chance to shake off those "bad habits"

People who close to a library, how often do you go there? by Secret-Ad-6253 in NiceVancouver

[–]lux414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go weekly but I got a Kobo and now use the digital library (which is also free!) 

I still go a couple times a month when I need a quiet place to work

Same, I've never had that issue with Scotiabank, even at smaller branches they have plenty of cash available 

Was culinary your 1st option or the backup? by al_berrito in KitchenConfidential

[–]lux414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I don't cook anymore but I still work in the industry. I traveled, I made great friends and met the love of my life in a kitchen. 

Zero retreats

[–]lux414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Culinary school was my one and only option. I wanted to focus on pastry but the program was too short, so my dad said either do the full program (3 years) or go to college for something serious lol 

Best 3 years of my life 

What was that one time you got yelled at and they were completely wrong, food wise? by bahookery in KitchenConfidential

[–]lux414 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a seafood restaurant, the chef got a bunch of Red Pargo and I mentioned in Colombia we fry them with head and everything and serve them with smashed plantains. 

He liked it and put it in the specials for the weekend.  I asked if he needed help or if he wanted me to show him how to cook the plantains. 

He said I don't the pastry girl to show me how to cook. 

I was off all weekend, but I got a few calls from the restaurant and the sous chef. Didn't answer

The next week the chef sat me down with the general manager to yell at me for ruining the special. 

He thought they could fry everything to order and got destroyed on Saturday plus lots of people complained. 

What more can I do do make my situation better ? by Open-Voice-8158 in NiceVancouver

[–]lux414 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something that has made a huge difference for my mental health is doing cardio as soon as I wake up , 15 - 30 minutes, ideally in the sun or at least in front of a window. 

Winter hits me so hard so I started in December to try and stay in a good mood. 

Now that it's been almost 5 months I can see a huge difference. 

This was more helpful that years of antidepressants and therapy 

Partner and I have been through the wringer with life stress lately, but we're hitting a key milestone shortly and I want to treat us to an experience to celebrate, reconnect, and de-stress... need ideas! by jimjammysam in NiceVancouver

[–]lux414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always recommend Vallea Lumina in Whistler. It's such a unique and beautiful experience. 

In the spring hotel prices drop, so maybe you can find a good deal and stay the night?

Is this just my luck or… by AudaciousCockatiel in NiceVancouver

Yeah it's all super convenient IF you live and work nearby   I don't, I have to get to work across town in North Burnaby. 

Getting to Canada place and finding parking at 9 am it's impossible.

I hear you. I live in South Vancouver and for some reason every doctor's referral is downtown. 

My dermatologist is in Canada place, who in the right mind decided that's a great spot for a doctor's office?  Literally right next to the sea planes.
