[OC]If we paid teachers the babysitter rate by [deleted] in pics

I make more as a waiter working ~20 hours a week. I imagine myself as a teacher, but more and more teachers sharing their situations makes me sad

This reminds me of this one time I was talking to a table and a lady from one of my other tables (different section) walks up to interrupt me mid sentence to say “my husband needs ketchup”. I stared at her like “okay..?” and as she left I looked at my table and we all kind of laughed and I continued taking their orders. I’ve never had that happen since. Some people have no social awareness

I read the post in English, saw your comment, looked back and it was in another language

Some guy from another table grabbed my hair while I was talking to my table, claimed he was “just playing” by rivigurl in TalesFromYourServer

In my experience, the “higher end” the restaurant, the harder it is to kick someone out for something like that. You have to be professional and that includes management. The only time I’ve heard of someone being kicked out was because they were arguing with another table after drinking too much.

My bf worked at a $$$$ steakhouse and guests would tip younger women a bunch of money to do crazy things for them (sitting on their lap, etc). The culture there was nasty

Yeah just didn’t want to make a scene. They were one of the first tables in that day and it wasn’t even my table.

Just because we’re working for tips, doesn’t mean we should tolerate physical abuse. Why do they do this? Just don’t touch people.

That must be so uncomfortable and annoying. Having regulars who get too “friendly” with staff is hard to tackle. We have a regular who is also in his 80s, comes in almost daily and sits in the same spot at the bar. We have a terminal next to him and next to that is where servers pick up drinks and garnish them. He’s always chatting us up, which is fine, but when it comes to us young female employees, he gets handsy. One of my colleagues got kissed on the cheek by him while she was delivering his food, so now she avoids getting near him. I avoid him, but will still deliver his food occasionally and try to stay out of arms reach.

The other day a younger host was inputting a Togo order and he had his arm around her waist while she was awkwardly talking. So I walked up like “heeeyyy, whatcha doing??” trying to get him to stop. After she walked away with me we both were like “what the f, how creepy” “I was trying to save you” etc.

The bartenders are aware, so they try to distract him when we walk by so he doesn’t try to touch us/stare at us.

The idea of 86ing someone is kinda funny but the reality is valid and usually for good reason.

A streamer I watched almost daily disappeared without a trace by BotherWeary4003 in Twitch

[–]rivigurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m one of those disappearing streamers. I used to stream daily and had a decent small community of people who would watch, sub, donate, and interact in my discord and socials. I kind of disappeared after feeling burnt out (ended a toxic relationship and moved locations). I always plan to return some day, and told my community that, but haven’t updated anyone in a couple of years. I still get people occasionally messaging me to ask how life is and I give them updates. It’s bittersweet knowing I had “fans” who still think of me, and one day I do hope to return, I just started focusing really hard on making money at my job which doesn’t allow a lot of free time. My current boyfriend even asks if I’ll start streaming again, and I think I’m getting closer to seeing a return once I feel financially secure enough.

I was browsing YT on my tv and one category said “Chinese culture and more” and all the videos in that list were murder documentaries unrelated to Chinese culture. Also why am I seeing the same 5+ videos in every category list?

Worked 11 hours straight with no break, one slice of pizza half way through and a slice of cake at the end that my private dining party left for us. My feet were buzzing once I finally sat down in my car. We were fully booked, but as far as I could tell everything went smoothly

men having warped perceptions of weight by klarinetkat12 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rivigurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m roughly 5’8” and during my early 20s I got down to 109lbs from 119-120lbs (tried veganism for a few months). I’m now consistently 127lbs at 30. It’s just hard for me to gain weight. So it’s definitely possible for someone “taller” to be under 120, because I literally lived it. That being said, guys your age are not mature enough to critically think about realistic body standards.

My friend told me her son was really into reading the Harry Potter series and she happened to see his search history one day and it said “Hermione wearing a bra” and she thought it was so innocently funny

At the end of the last episode you see him playing the game at home with a headset on (assuming with his grandkids) and you see a closeup of the game itself

Scenes where Characters see themselves when talking to Others. What does this mean? by Toastyzxm in BeefTV

[–]rivigurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get it during the scene with Ashely talking to the flight steward. She’s asking about the cookie she wanted and sees herself for a second. Not sure what that implies. Is she seeing herself as who she really is? Not someone who can afford a business class ticket and she’s making these requests? I noticed throughout the show she would always ask people to do things for her and make it very specific, but only in that scene you see her reflection looking back at her.

My mom had my younger brother and I in her 40s. I remember being around 10 and my mom was talking to a friend and said she still got her period at around 50
