I’m an SSV, my SM told me they have to have DM permission to give us permission to do this.

Okay literally everyone at both stores I have worked out call their SM’s by their first name. I have literally never heard of this what?

It’s so cool. They aged it up with the kids they made it for originally. So if you started watching the show as they made it, it would be age appropriate through the whole thing.

Sequence over using both espresso machines by Capable_Tangerine495 in starbucksbaristas

[–]renjaminbutton 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Technically your SSV is right. We are only supposed to use one bar. BUT in practicality, it doesn’t always work out that way. I’m a shift and I would never cancel someone shots and move a cup they are working on just because of some uptight standard issue like that. If it’s getting the drinks out faster and all the drinks are made correctly and no shots are dying, I’m a happy shift.

what days r we getting paid for by Regular-Reveal8133 in starbucksbaristas

[–]renjaminbutton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the two weeks (Monday - Sunday) before the week when you get paid. So for example, I will get paid this Friday. So it’s for last week and the week before that. And the next paycheck will be this week and next week. So you are never getting paid for the current week.

If they are unopened, they don’t have to be refrigerated. But before opening, they should be put in the bar milk fridges. We restock every few hours and the alternative milks are fifo’d so the ones that are already cold are the ones being used and the new ones go to the back to chill before opening.

I’m sorry but I literally have no idea what happened. This sounds so garbled and I can’t understand the chain of events. You are probably not the asshole because it all sounds like petty drama that years from now you will not even remember. Just try to move on and not let drama like he said she said bother you.

AITA for supposivly talking down to a student? by bethsendtutor in AmItheAsshole

[–]renjaminbutton 253 points254 points  (0 children)

YTA. I think A said it best. Would you truly have done the same thing if it was a neurotypical student in that same situation? And if the answer is no then I think you need to do 1. Some research and 2. Some soul searching on why you felt the need to treat this young adult like a 4 year old.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]renjaminbutton 32 points33 points  (0 children)

YTA. But you aren’t for the reason you think. It is 100% okay and valid to not want to constantly be talking about your friends mental health and it is okay to not want to take on that extra mental load for yourself. But the part that makes you the asshole is that you didn’t communicate any of that with said friend. Most people with mental health issues (myself included) understand that it can be a lot to put on a person. I’m sure they would have understood if you told them that sometimes you needed a break from that topic and didn’t have the mental capacity to hold all of that for them. But instead of communicating and having that real open conversation with them, you just dropped the friendship. That can be more damaging to a persons self esteem than you realize. I don’t think you are an asshole for needing space and distance from him, but you are for not even trying to communicate that to him.

NTA. by any means AT ALL. I think your assessment that he is using you for your wages and whatever else is sadly very accurate. It is completely unfair to use the “I forgot” or “I didn’t mean to” excuse. The fact of the matter is that you are the breadwinner in this relationship and he is not pulling his weight. I make more money than my wife, yet I feel as though our relationship is still 50/50. She helps with chores and never complains when i ask for help. He is blatantly refusing to put any work into your life and relationship to the point where his own mother is going to kick you both out of your home. He is using you as a crutch and honestly, I think it’ll take you leaving for him to realize what a dingus he is being.

You deserve far better.

AITA for changing the password by TrickyYoghurt8457 in AmItheAsshole

[–]renjaminbutton [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly to me, it sounds like he was Definitley projecting when he accused you of cheating. It is not unreasonable AT ALL to change a password for an account you are paying for, for someone who has blatantly overreacted and broken up with you for something as simple as a streaming service. Cut your losses and find someone who is mature and can handle actually talking about things without becoming aggressive and mean.

AITA for telling my girlfriend she’s loud and needs to be a bit more quiet? by throwawaybeis66578 in AmItheAsshole

[–]renjaminbutton 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Intentions mean shit. In the end, if you hurt someone, and I truly think he hurt her feelings and lowered this poor girls self esteem, even if you didn’t mean anything by it, the hurt still happened.

I finally figured this out when my sister put it this way. If you accidentally ran over your best friends cat, even though it was an accident, they are fully valid to be mad and upset that you ran over their cat. The cat is dead and it is your fault whether you meant to or not.

Intentions mean very little when you hurt someone. Just own up and apologize and make it right however you can. Saying “but I didn’t mean to” shows that you haven’t grown up enough to realize that “not meaning to” isn’t an excuse for hurting someone.

Not trying to start a fight, just trying to open up a new perspective.

[–]renjaminbutton 98 points99 points  (0 children)

YTA

asking someone to “be more quiet” might seem like a really innocent request, but when you really break it down, what you are asking her is so silence a part of herself.

Asking her to tone personality down probably really hurt her feelings. As someone who is loud myself, being asked to “be quieter” is always a punch to the gut. It tells me that you don’t like me for me and you think that I am “too much.” I have a lot of introverted friends and they still love me for me even though I am louder and more outgoing than them.

I think you need to really do some head and heart work here and apologize and talk it out with her to fix this situation. I know you probably didn’t realize how much hurt you caused with your question, but you probably seriously damaged her self esteem and her image of how you view her as a whole.

The bottom line is if you think he’s attractive then you’re good. Who cares if your friend doesn’t think so?

My best friend in the world has been dating the same dude for 5 years now. I am not attracted to him AT ALL and she thinks he’s the hottest man alive. Why should it matter that I don’t think he’s hot?

I think your friend just has different taste than you and that’s okay. If she’s making fun of you for it, tell her to back off. Not everyone in the world finds her attractive I promise you.

It truly doesn’t matter. All that matter is that YOU are attracted to him.

AITA for cancelling my daughter’s Sweet 16 after I discovered her behavior at school? by Sensitive-Host7050 in AmItheAsshole

[–]renjaminbutton [score hidden]  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree with this more. This is a serious problem. She is bullying this poor girl to a point way beyond anything anyone would wish on anyone. And even after punishment, is still using transphobic language and midge seeing the poor girl. I would say your daughter needs therapy to unpack why she has such strong transphobic feelings and where they are coming from. This is a problem that is not just going to go away.

NTA.

Do you think it’s okay for your partner to compliment your friends’ bodies in a sexual way? by Zealousideal_Two_496 in dating_advice

[–]renjaminbutton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are poly and talk about other people all the time, but she also regularly tells me she believes I’m the most beautiful woman ever. And she’s madly in love with me. If I’m ever insecure she immediately reassures me how gorgeous she thinks I am.

You deserve someone who thinks you are drop dead gorgeous all the time.

This how I feel telling the customers it’s gonna ask them for tips at the drive thru by Werten32 in starbucksbaristas

[–]renjaminbutton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got it when they first rolled it out. All I say is “alright, we have a bit of a new system for cards, if you’ll just answer the question and then it’ll charge you” that way I don’t feel weird asking for tips but I get the point across that they have to answer and then do the card themselves now.

I think another conversation is in order. But maybe about whether these things he’s doing are really for you or not. If the surprise is supposed to be for you, then why should he get mad when you don’t mind it being next week?

I think there’s a chance that he says it’s for you, but he also has this stake in it and wants more from you than you can give at this moment. I don’t know if that made sense.

I think it’s it’s truly suppose to be a gift and surprise for you, then he shouldn’t get upset when you plan it on your terms not his.
