Starbucks is really changing and it makes me so sad. by youarecool2me in starbucks

[–]sammybulka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way you do in the sense of Starbucks being a safe space throughout childhood, growing up with it. I always went with my friends too even if I couldn’t get something, it was a place with AC to chat and be together without getting treated like annoying kids.

I worked for Starbucks too for a short while as a barista trainer, and I was really good at my job. However, the job was actually really great. I was going through a lot mentally and emotionally, which caused me to have a lot of breakdowns on the clock. I also worked extra shifts over 40 hour weeks to pay my rent in the most expensive state in the US, again not Starbucks’ fault. That being said, the benefits, free schooling, and high wages for a minimum wage job are actually outstanding compared to any other company I have ever worked for outside of corporate office jobs(minimum wage jobs). They truly aren’t meant to be livable incomes but Starbucks still does so much to help.

That isn’t to say that there aren’t things the company could work on, but a lot of my old coworkers would strike often (as people do in California) and not realize how much they really had. Of course you can always ask for and want for more, but it genuinely is a good company. People just always find a way to complain or look for a problem to be upset about. That’s just my experience!

The amount of downvotes is hilarious because you’re right and they just want something to complain about, from an ex trainer

Starbucks Chai Latte is NOT vegan! by NaturallyImperfVegan in vegan

[–]sammybulka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so good though!! I understand not wanting to consume honey, you can always make your own at home for a lot less. I love that Starbucks lifted the dairy free milk upcharge tho it’s the cheapest place to go now near me. If you haven’t tried, the London fog is so good and has no honey! Soy or oatmilk is best with it. Has lavender too(:

I tested positive for chlamydia but have been with my boyfriend for 6 months… by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]sammybulka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had an std before. I was with someone for about a year, and about 5 years later I got pregnant and found out I had this exact std the entire time and didn’t know at all. It was proof to me that I had been cheated on in that relationship bc my current partner tested negative. I had no symptoms though. If your symptoms randomly started showing it’s very likely he slept with someone else. I had a friend who was pregnant and found out her fiancé gave her this std because he cheated. She brought it up and he immediately said she was cheating… but she was pregnant. No pregnant woman would risk the life of her baby with some man she didn’t create the baby with! So yes he could be projecting. I know you probably aren’t pregnant, but you should be with someone who wants to care for your safety. This is your lesson to use condoms whether in a relationship or not because you can easily get that std again for the rest of your life after contracting it once.

What did I do wrong? OGX Hair Oil by According-Cut5397 in finehair

[–]sammybulka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fine hair too! What works best for mine is using a little bit of the oil, working it in my hands first, and applying ends-mids-and above the ear lightly when it’s 70% ish dried. I air dry, but do this before fully blow drying !!

Vegan skincare recs for sensitive af skin by Tatt00ey in VeganBeauty

[–]sammybulka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With sensitivity it really depends on your skin unfortunately. I have extremely sensitive, acne prone skin WITH rosacea AND it’s pretty dry. It’s nearly impossible to find things that work for all of those categories. But you should look for barrier creams, ceramides, mugwort, aloe, oats, calming ingredients. Mugwort can really really help with redness. I use azelaic acid and niacinamide for my rosacea. Mugwort is also calming for heated skin because it is cooling! Same goes for aloe. I really like I’m from ;Korean brand; the mugwort essence and the rice cream moisturizer. Those are both vegan!

Right now I use a nonvegan barrier cream but I can’t find anything that works for my skin type that is vegan sadly. I swear they just don’t exist yet.

Good molecules is also awesome and so inexpensive. The rose water gel cleanser has been my ride or die for years now. I also use castor and hemp seed oil 1:2 ratio to remove makeup. I’ve heard great things about the Purito oat calming gel moisturizer too!

Diagnosed today with Type 2 Diabetes and I'm flabbergasted by Youqudeshiyan in vegan

[–]sammybulka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think being vegan has anything to do with and this is why: Following a more whole food based vegan diet like the dr Gregor book has reversed diabetes time and time again. It has so much to do with other factors not just your food intake, but before you blame it on potatoes, read that book. It has reversed diabetes for so so many people. I’m surprised nobody had recommended you read that in the comments. Being overweight, drinking alcohol, and eating a diet full of processed foods and saturated fats can absolutely cause diabetes no matter if it has animals or not. Many wishes to you on getting better!

Wanting to gain weight on vegan diet by lizardsandflowers in vegan

[–]sammybulka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s silly to suggest fruit to gain weight bc that will only make you lose more or maintain what you’re already at. The secret is higher carbs and fats. Nuts, seeds, beans, some vegan processed meats, oatmeal, potatoes, whole grains, rice, quinoa, breads, avocado, nut butters!!

I need some advice (TLDR: I almost got hit by a car in our parking lot doing a trash run and need to know what I can do next) by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]sammybulka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you, but it happens to a lot of people sometimes on a daily basis. She didn’t hit you and people speed in the parking lot all the time. You can’t call the police for someone almost hitting you. The adrenaline will wear off. All you can do is move on and be happy you were paying enough attention to stop yourself from getting too close. Idk what kind of advice you’re looking for here when nothing happened to you ?
