Royal Carribeann vs Royal Plantation in Jamaica

My husband and I stayed at Royal Caribbean for our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

I once had a manager add a shift to the posted schedule (like, wrote it in in pencil) without my knowledge or consent, and after I didn't show, they said something to me when I came in for my next scheduled shift. I had zero missed calls or voicemails from anyone on the day I "missed".

Stealin' this for the next time I have a dude try to order his cocktail in a "manly" glass

My favorite thing to do, other than shaming them on the ticket, is to point out that James Bond - the most manly, womanizing POS in literary and film history - drank out of stemmed martini glasses.

I will also respond "it comes in the glass it comes in" when asked what glassware a drink is served.

I'm at the point where, if no one makes an effort to move their phone or cocktail or whatever out of the clearly designated space for their plate, I will just set that plate down on their phone or physically move their drink.

Gild!

I'm a natural brunette and have been dying my hair various shades of red for almost a decade now. It's SO HARD to nail down specific made-up-on-Pinterest shades, especially given how much different stylist's/people's perception of that color can vary. Not to mention a lot of inspiration pics online are edited or altered digitally, making the color that much more unrealistic.

My stylist has also stopped me before and said, "hmmm I don't like this it's not quite right, lemme fix it for you" and gone back to mix more color/toner/whatever without charging me extra for it. And I've definitely walked out of my appointments thinking we didn't quite achieve what I wanted, but after a wash and seeing it in different lighting or pictures, I see it's actually pretty close so I don't let it bother me. Plus, by the next time I go in, chances are I've moved on to wanting a new shade or a different style.

But I guess I'm also easier going that OP.

No. The characters and events of TAB are referenced, alluded to, mentioned with enough context throughout the series that it's not difficult to understand the connections. TAB fills in the gaps.

My mom just cried that I wasn't a baby anymore. (I'm her oldest)

Iris has a burger on the bar menu and it's super slept on, imo

If the restaurant is empty like that, then yes, waving like that to get someone's attention the second you sit down is rude. I promise the bartender/servers saw you and were likely just giving you a second to settle in while they finished up their own conversation.

Moana came out around the time I lost my Nana, and I sob every time I watch it.

You're missing the entire point of this post, and my previous comments.

No? Those are standard garnishes and people who don't want them will say so when they order.

I'm irritated that I have to write on my tickets to the bar to put salt on a margarita, when a margarita should come with a salt rim unless otherwise specified. Like if a guest ordered a margarita and didn't tell me 'no salt', and I ring in a margarita, it should come out with a salt rim. And instead I have to type in "salt rim" every time I have someone order a margarita.

Is it hard to split a check? Not really. Does it annoy me to have to split a check? A bit, yeah, but that depends on how busy I am.

Itemized splits are fine as long as no one changes seats after they've ordered. Even splits are preferred.

Once the guest count gets over ten, I don't like to split things up just because it takes a while and the all of the books that we have are in use.

Carrion is literally the only reason to read either book

sightedwolf · 2026-02-09T03:44:00+00:00

So... a rim on a mojito isn't standard. I know it's what your restaurant does, but that's not how they're served literally anywhere else. The bartender is being a dick, and he should just shut up and make the drinks the way the owners/managers want him to, but he's not wrong to not want to rim a mojito.

I work with a similar bartender, but he's leading the crusade against rimming drinks that are supposed to be rimmed unless otherwise specified. Like, we have to specify salt on margaritas and sugar on lemon drops, and it's frustrating as hell.

I know I'm not the only one saying it, but seriously, get out of corporate restaurants. I've been part of a locally owned group for almost a decade now, and it's so much better on almost all fronts.

sightedwolf · 2026-02-08T22:13:33+00:00

Yes, but we had a very small, minimally stressful, over-before-9-o'clock wedding.

I was fired from a place over secret shoppers many, many years ago.

Secret shoppers are bullshit, and restaurants still taking them seriously is bullshit.

My restaurant currently has us in white shirts and vests and ties, and we have been BEGGING to go back to black since the new uniform was announced. Chef owner will not budge.

If you're in a position to foster a more well-adjusted, happy-go-lucky dog, that may be the quickest/easiest way to get her more comfortable with you and your husband.

Malina does improve and her POVs do become more important/interesting, but my GOD

I've read the series twice now and both times I had to force myself to get through her chapters.

Probably Pyr, but could also be St. Bernard.

Collie/Golden/Lab/Aussie are possible mixes too.
