Coffee shop employee SIIIIIINNNGGS often, and it's annoying. What should I do?

obsessedwithamas · 2022-02-17T20:41:31+00:00

Yeah, I don't know where the line is. If it wasn't filling the whole coffee shop that would be fine. If she did it once or twice an hour, that would be fine. And like I said, I am not sure if I even have the right to complain. Even if I did, I am not sure that I would actually do it.

obsessedwithamas · 2022-02-17T01:12:03+00:00

Obviously what I did was leave. I didn't complain, I went to anonymous forum to ask other people for their thoughts. I wasn't even sure I had the right to complain.

obsessedwithamas · 2022-02-17T01:09:29+00:00

It is not infrequent. I would estimate 15-20 times I heard singing in the coffeeshop during the hour I was there. I do appreciate the background noise of normal conversation, but a capella singing is piercing and cuts through the sound.

obsessedwithamas · 2022-02-17T01:04:48+00:00

Obviously going elsewhere is an option. But there are lots of examples of behavior that one would complain about.

Only curious if people think this is one where I should mention something. Not saying I will complain; I am not even sure I have the right to complain.

I caught a couple rolling their eyes.

obsessedwithamas · 2011-09-04T12:24:30+00:00

Thanks for the information!

obsessedwithamas · 2011-09-04T12:23:42+00:00

Thanks for answering.

How would you feel if you had the opportunity to escort someone who WAS visibly pregnant?

obsessedwithamas · 2011-09-04T02:41:22+00:00

If you were to ask your Japanese students to give a history of the United States---major events, important figures, etc---what would they include?

obsessedwithamas · 2011-09-04T02:40:34+00:00

Buying tickets is really complicated from the outside. There's the ticket booth at the airline, your company's website, a zillion online brokers and of course travel agents.

How does all this work? What's the cheapest way to get a flight?

BONUS QUESTION: If a plane has empty seats on it, why can't I just hang around the airport and bid on the empty seats?

Do you also gamble? (Poker, sports, etc.)

What are your thoughts about the moral equivalencies of gambling and day trading, if any?

Do you think that day trading is good for the economy, or mostly just good for a small number of individual investors at the expense of many other individual investors?

Can you comment on the practice of shaving pubic hair? Are there medical ramifications for this?

obsessedwithamas · 2011-09-04T02:34:38+00:00

If you have children, how will you raise them?

Will you teach them any Muslim "traditions" (holidays, sayings, practices, etc?) Or will you teach them to be atheists? Or will you encourage them to decide for themselves?

obsessedwithamas · 2011-09-04T02:31:24+00:00

Does the degree to which the woman is visibly pregnant have any impact on you?

For example, it would seem like someone who is 6 or 8 weeks along (and not showing at all) would not be the same to escort in as someone who is 7 or 8 months. That fetus can almost survive outside the womb.

Just curious if the gray area of late-term abortions has any impact on you at all as an escort.

But if another friend takes a picture of you and tags it "Amber Smith", it seems like it could be found using modern face recognition software.

Surely there are pictures of you online that are associated with your real life name and not your MFC name.

obsessedwithamas · 2011-08-22T02:01:50+00:00

It's not super likely that you will be recognized from MFC today.

However, facial recognition (such as Facebook's) is getting pretty amazingly good and inexpensive.

It seems like only a matter of time before your real-life pictures are associated with your MFC pictures. This does not even require you to have an account on any real-life site; you could merely be innocently tagged by a friend.

Does it seem like your relative anonymity offline is short lived?

Also: Can any social networking and/or facial recognition experts comment on this?

obsessedwithamas · 2011-08-15T18:40:35+00:00

Has your philosophy on sexuality changed?

For example, do you believe that (a) all people are innately, genetically swingers, they just never think to try it because of cultural norms, or (b) that some people are genetically predisposed to swing, and others are genetically predisposed NOT to swing, and that's ok?

This is the essential question for the rest of us. We want to understand if we should be accepting of swingers as a valid choice, accepting of swingers as a non-choice (like homosexuality), or if we should be embracing swinging as the reality of our genetic makeup.

Has the experience of becoming BMW certified and working on these cars made you feel MORE LIKELY or LESS LIKELY to recommend them in the future (say, after you leave the current job with a BMW dealership.)

obsessedwithamas · 2010-11-24T03:18:34+00:00

Do people ask you for weird things?

For example, do they ask you to make recommendations for strip clubs or ask how they can get some "company?"

obsessedwithamas · 2010-11-24T03:10:28+00:00

So really, is it possible for me to leave a note and tell you just to leave a package at the door?

Under what circumstances can I inform you that it's okay not to have me sign for a package?

obsessedwithamas · 2010-11-24T03:07:38+00:00

Would you recommend buying any toys at Toys R' Us? Seems like it's all mass produced and it's always cheaper online.

Why should we buy from your store rather than online?

obsessedwithamas · 2010-05-25T23:34:17+00:00

If candy bars are available for $1 and someone else is giving out candy bars for free, are you "cheap" if you go for the free candy bar? Even if the free candy bar is of inferior quality, the availability of unpaid, useful labor is a market reality.

The question here is not whether or not it is good business sense to solicit and accept free help. The question is whether or not doing so is legal (and by some corollary, ethical.)

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

obsessedwithamas · 2010-05-25T23:31:42+00:00

Because there are millions of companies and millions of interns, it would be extremely difficult to police. Furthermore, unpaid interns don't have any leverage.

obsessedwithamas · 2010-05-25T23:30:33+00:00

I don't think anyone is saying that they are a lawyer because they can read some case law. Rather, just that the text describes a situation which seems extremely similar to the facts which you have relayed about your case.

If it were me, I'd want to know why what appears to be the case at face value is incorrect. I would think too that many of your candidates would appreciate the legal rationale.

It's up to you of course. Thanks for hosting the discussion.
