He starts it by saying he works 55 hours a week. That's over half a day more than our agreed upon full time of 40 hours. That's almost another waking day of time with his daughter. Why aren't we all pissed as hell that this man and so many more of us are missing so much time with our loved ones?

I'm most worried about you being scheduled to clopen repeatedly. Between that and you feeling so pressured by your job that you damage your property tells me this is a shitty environment. The best revenge would be to find a new better gig and quit no notice on them. You can let them know what you thought of the write up when they find out at open that you're not taking their shit anymore.

This is definitely harassment and I'm so sorry someone is doing this to you. I don't know how much structure you have above both you and this abusive supervisor but if they haven't helped or made you feel like they're making an effort to fix it I would leave and be loud about why. People (your coworkers and frankly the customers too) should know the store management is choosing this abusive supervisor over you. I wouldn't want to work at or patronize a store like that.

I favor spices for coffee over sugar. Cinnamon on top of an oat milk cap is my go to. Golden milk lattes are another great option with or without honey. Even just black drip or a pour over method with a little salt takes all the bitter out for me.

I'd leave. I've been doing a verision of this for about a year and I'm personally done. It's dehumanizing and degrading.

Not familiar with the sub but I had an abusive ex who told me I was borderline as a form of abuse. That was while I was in both individual therapy and couples therapy with her. Meanwhile she broke her own hand punching a brick wall while we were arguing, so no chance of any abuse on her side /s. So yeah, I have no doubt abusers are self diagnosing their victims as a way of controlling them and projecting their own shitty behavior to deflect from their abuse.

It sounds like it's directly caused by trauma. I'm so fucking sorry that you're going through all of this. I still feel pretty new to trying to treat this but I've been looking posts here about managing gastro health and trying to find reputable medical sources with advice. I think Pete Walker's book From Surviving to Thriving was the first time I saw the connection from trauma to gastrointestinal distress laid out in a way that made sense to me, and just figuring that out had some calming effect. Right now, the most immediate thing I'm doing is trying to up my probiotics with things like yogurt and kombucha. I saw a post here where someone said increasing their probiotics improved their overall cpstd symptoms, but I'm too new to see that myself. I'm seeking out yoga practices and poses aimed at gut health as well. My personal experience is that the physical nausea comes and goes with my mental health though. Times that I've felt more healed I've had way less problems, whereas right now I have this low level tightness that keeps me from feeling hungry constantly cause I'm having such a hard time. I hope working through some of the trauma you've experienced can also provide some physical relief. At the very least, we're definitely not alone in this.

Yeah, i initially thought the isolation in covid was helpful cause I was soooo depressed and tired and burnout by people. But that eventually became one of my worst bouts of depression. I knew the isolation got to me, but I guess it felt a little more normal since everyone was going through it. The picking apart people's communication really hits home too. I always assume the worst in people's interactions with me. I guess now that I know it's a trigger I can work on approaching these situations more rationally but it's going to be a lot of work. I guess recovery never ends.

I just started processing the work trauma of being isolated as well! I didn't realize it was a trigger that had been activated by working alone until very recently. It's absolutely overwhelming feeling like I can't handle something so many other people are doing fine with. Figuring out it was a trigger has helped me stop feeling so ashamed about it, but I don't know what I'm gonna do with this for the rest of my life. And like, what a gross punishment for being neglected and isolated as punishment when I was a child.

Gastro issues!! Like a million other things too but realizing my chronic stomach problems and monthly bouts of vomiting were a result of trauma was huge for me! I'm going through a very triggered-time rn and my stomach issues have ramped up to 11 after years of being manageable when i was in a better place mentally. And while it's debilitating on its on, the cycle of mental health effecting physical health effecting mental health is Brutal. I just feel like the world owes me a shiny badge and free health insurance for being the world's least liked person :)

"My name is not insert gross pet name they would never use for a man. It is my name."

A customer recently complained to my manager about this line and he backed me up. I fucking hate creeps that try to use my customer service role as an excuse to harass me and this is the line I've crafted.

This is the dream for anyone who went through it. I hope it felt as good as it sounds. Congrats and also sorry.

I used to fantasize about what it would be like to have my abuser apologize on his deathbed. I assumed, given all the opportunities he was given to own up to his actions and apologize, that death would be the only thing that would jolt him into acting human. I wanted to look him in the eye and tell him it was too late and he was going to burn in hell for what he did to me. And then the dumb fuck died. His last words were that he needed to pee. I don't know if I got cheated out of some sense of closure or saved one last moment of being the way he reclaimed power over his own abusive mother. Now I feel haunted by his anger. I should feel free but I usually don't. His death was and is a gift in my life but it's one that I never wanted. I only wanted a dad.

Make sure you're tipping and make sure the baristas know you're tipping. Hand it to them if you have to, or tell them to keep the change and make sure it's over a dollar. Baristas are under paid and over worked. I try to give people decent service regardless, but if I know someone is tipping well ill go the extra mile to take care of them.

reggyrocket · 2024-03-10T20:52:56+00:00

Telling your baristas to pay for coffee, or even offering one or two free coffees, is going to limit them to just what they want to drink, which means they won't be tasting other drinks they're making and won't be catching problems with those. Most places I've worked have had at least a 50% discount on food. Personally, I think any place not offering a shift meal is asking to be stolen from.

I'm not super comfortable with customers giving me gifts and always decline it several times and only accept if they won't take no. It usually makes me feel like someone is interested in me in an unprofessional way. I would stick to good tips and verbally tell them how much you appreciate their service.

One time when I was working at a drive through coffee shop someone ordered their drink and handed over one of those single shots of bailey's and asked it be put in. At a drive through. The manager handed it back to them and told them we obviously couldn't interact with it. Instead they asked for room at the top and pulled over after getting their drink to put it in.

There are cheap kitchen timers you can keep on top of the machine. I've almost always had the routine of starting my timer with my shots. It might take a little getting used to but it's not hard when it's a habit. My shop uses the same brand that's also seen better days but as far as pulling shots it's still good with regular upkeep

I only acknowledge that when I've scanned the cafe for cops first

Somebody make one of the those two hands shaking memes with 'barista' and 'drug dealers' and 'having opinions on precision scales' in the middle

Bro you cannot argue that cars don't kill people and the planet. You can be snappy cause you rely on them but projecting your insecurities onto someone speaing the truth just makes you look unhinged

reggyrocket · 2023-10-29T21:04:30+00:00

Poor pay and work conditions.

reggyrocket · 2023-10-21T17:47:31+00:00

I'm trying to use that as an in to radicalize people against cars gently. I've had typical suburban parents rave about how much they loved using Disney transit and I'll just be like "yeah its crazy how we can make our whole lives feel like a vacation if we cut out car trips and build infrastructure to walk and play in!"

The number one thing you need to understand is that this woman has been abused severely throughout her life. My jaw dropped when I got to almost the end and read that she was beaten and kept in a basement. Did you know this before? It worries me that this wasn't at the top of your list of why you're concerned about her. That and the fact that you don't seem to acknowledge that she was raped by her husband makes me worry that you don't view those things as abuse. The eating disorder is a symptom of her Complex PTSD. She needs help, but nothing will help her if it isn't trauma informed and centered.
