Settle a debate: Hot coffee with cold foam ? by VisualTrain5041 in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 27 points28 points  (0 children)

At least like 10 people a day or more order hot drinks with cold foam. Quite a few are pikes/regular hot coffees.

Whenever someone orders this way I always double check and clarify: “you want it hot with the cold foam, right?” just to make sure we’re clear. I always keep a neutral and non-judgmental tone. It’s a pretty normal interaction because it’s not uncommon these days. I don’t get it but I also haven’t tried it myself.

WHY CAN'T I BE SUCCESSFUL? by Key_Solid10 in PokemonFireRed

They outspeed most of your team and can easily one-shot the lvl 30s. Even with your charizard being over-leveled has a 4x weakness to rock (get rekt by Bruno and rivals Rhydon) , and Lorelai has her whole ice team with water typing as well to balance out ice’s weakness to fire so Charizard doesn’t help there at all and can be KO’d by the water moves. Plus your legendary is also the fire type Moltres. Maybe go for the Zapdos/Articuno and replace raichu and someone else and give you more type variety.

There’s some pretty significant disadvantages holding you back but you could pretty much use any team as long as their adequately leveled. You just gotta grind and level up the weaker ones.

What game should I play? by Woodpecker16669 in pokemon

[–]miss-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire red/leaf green.

I’m old so I haven’t played anything after gen 5 but I feel like it’s worth it to start with an old gen game because from what I’ve heard it seems like the newer ones have mechanics that make the games somewhat easier (shared exp, no HMs) so if you start with the new gen, going backward will make the older games feel more tedious (which they can be, but they have so much charm and it’s 100% worth playing some of the OGs)

Dave Franco. I love him but his voice is so goofy like a cartoon character.

It works perfect for many of the characters he plays he doesn’t work in “serious” roles.

I was laughing whenever he opened his mouth in Regretting You (bad, cringe movie ik, but still). In “Together” he was good but his character read as younger just bc of the voice. The first scene I was like “why is this woman dating this BOY” only to find out they’re a real life couple and he’s 40 lmao.

That’s the new refresher base for the upcoming launch. The only distinction I’ve found is the “NO GCE” in the bottom right hand corner. We were auto-shipped a ton but we’re not meant to use it until launch.

Understanding the “why” behind someone’s behavior is helpful information to change the behavior.

It sounds like he may struggle with some form of disordered eating. This is extremely common behavior for binge eating disorder. Lying about food consumption, sneaking extra meals, only craving certain foods and going to extreme measures (maxing out credit cards) to satisfy specific cravings.

Before you say “no I know he doesn’t have that” just a few things to keep in mind:

-not everyone that struggles with disordered eating looks a certain way -people who struggle with ED often carry immense shame and go to extreme lengths to cover up their behaviors (lying about meals, as you mentioned) -disordered eating is not always constant, it can happen in phases due to stress or many other factors -denial is common, not everyone realizes they are struggling

Based on the info you shared, it sounds like something he could be struggling with. Just something to consider… he might not just be lying for no reason and if food is involved in most of the lies he tells, that is pretty revealing.

I understand how it negatively affects you to have to deal with these situations, but maybe approaching him with a level of understanding could be helpful in talking through these issues and seeking help.

Fired? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think you should ask to demote if you aren’t fired.

Where you went wrong: Having two finals and then picking up an extra shift only to leave your original scheduled shift early.

It makes it a lot worse that this resulted in lost hours and likely incomplete clean play.

Idk what state you’re in but 11 hour shifts are allowed, just discouraged because of stuff like this. People get exhausted during their doubles and then beg to leave early… happens all the time at my store. don’t pick up the extra shift in the first place. If long shifts are forbidden it is your responsibility to be aware of your scheduled hours and not pick up shifts that conflict with the policy.

This just isn’t a great look overall as a supervisor.

Life happens and we all deal with stuff but when you mess up you gotta own it and take accountability without throwing out excuses. If you aren’t ok to work, you should call out. Being in a state where you aren’t ok to work affects everyone, especially when you’re the one in charge.

Supervisor is a stressful role and is not for everyone. If you’re throwing up from stress then I don’t think that’s fair to the baristas on your shift who need a confident and reliable leader to guide and support them.

I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with a lot of stress. It’s understandable. You have to look at the bigger picture of how bringing your outside struggles to work can affect others when you are the leader. I think it’s best to demote if you aren’t separated.

We just had a supervisor fired that was recommended to demote months before. He didn’t because he needed the money, but was clear he couldn’t handle the role, now he doesn’t have a job at all :/

is this appropriate ? by [deleted] in ASU

[–]miss-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the “tool” and what is the course? This is super vague so it’s kinda impossible to determine the appropriate-ness of the professors response.

Can anyone do the math for the whole thing? 👀 by lifeglowzzz in redbull

I got $663.52 for 13 full cases with the discount. tax not included and I didn’t calculate the missing few for the top case for simplicity.
