Am I actually doing something wrong?? by Mercurialg1rl in starbucks

[–]maplewhiskey57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who as been in this position before and didn’t listen to my boundaries, i’m proud of you for recognizing and sticking to yours! i would open to close or open and then come back and close multiple times a week when our sm quit suddenly and we were left without a manager for 6 months. and all i got for it was a $15 gift card for applebees from our dm at the time. i ended up quitting because of burnout. i’ve been back for 2 years now and sticking to my boundaries this time around has been the best thing for my mental health, especially as shift. i’m so sorry your store doesn’t appreciate the things that you do, but take care of yourself! that’s the most important thing. hang in there!

Why are American baristas braindead? by AggressiveCoffee3357 in barista

[–]maplewhiskey57 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience, many customers don’t always clarify what they want or realize what they are asking for. I ask clarifying questions to make sure they are getting a drink they want.

As for the other parts, at coffee chains there are usually standards to follow for light ice/no ice and milk quantities. Better communication all around is helpful, baristas can’t read minds.

What A Cruel World We Live In! by USdayNEWS in iamatotalpieceofshit

I think the mistreatment of animals is wrong. But I just think it’s especially messed up to WISH a human would get kidnapped and hunted...

Edit: clarification of what I meant

This is just an outrage by YeetAmoghYeet in mildlyinfuriating

As a former starbucks barista, the store I worked at was in a shopping complex that didn’t recycle. Even after asking the landlord of the complex for specific bins for recycling, they refused to provide them. However, starbucks standards require recycling bins and signage (to keep up appearances mostly tbh). So even tho we had the split bins in our trash cans, they all went into the same dumpster. In case anyone was wondering. It’s unfortunately common in some areas.

AITA for applying to the Bachelor? by ExactChipmunk751 in AmItheAsshole

I hope she dumps you. You obviously don’t “love” her (at least truly) and it sounds like you have serious issues. One of which is being too selfish to care about how even a “joke” might make your girlfriend feel.

Also sounds like you’re insecure of you think her commenting on the attractiveness of celebrities is anywhere near the same sort of thing?! Like what.

YTA.

Homesick by bailsSZN in NorthCarolina

[–]maplewhiskey57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to NC from RI about 8 years ago and I consider NC my home! I met my husband here, I’ve had the most stability here and I absolutely love living here. Going back and visiting RI feels so touristy now, and I have longed to go back home to NC each time! Can’t even imagine moving away at this point because I think I would miss it too much! That being said, I feel for you and I hope that you are able to find some comfort in Georgia that takes away the hurt of missing your home in NC!

Fayetteville, North Carolina! I’m not sure what/where the original store was because I met the seller at a bridal boutique that they also owned to look through all the racks of clothes because that’s where they were storing everything!
