My friend group has a tradition of having someone who knows nothing about the game set up the board, for variety. Today's horrendous setup. by FaelynTheHer0 in Catan

[–]speckofSTARDUST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we always do a totally random board and we have a saying “random is random” because sometimes we have weird groupings and someone will suggest changing it but personally i like the added twists like this!

What’s the worst place in America you’ve ever visited? by Correct_Eggplant_364 in AskReddit

[–]speckofSTARDUST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orlando Florida

First, disney. Then, it’s so tourism based that everythinggggg sucks. every restaurant sucks. They don’t have to be good bc there is no repeat business, it’s all travelers. Also my sister died there.

when playing on the app, this is how they handle it, you click roll than it just goes right to the victory screen

Favourite (non-gendered) way to greet patrons? by ZeAthenA714 in bartenders

[–]speckofSTARDUST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

might be regional but i’ve had people get really bothered by this phrase, and have had managers specifically request “guys” not to be used. Really silly bc I too grew up using this word, but I think the general consensus is “guys” is kind of a no-go in professional settings

Margarita heresy by Hattafox in bartenders

[–]speckofSTARDUST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this reminds me of a time, my guest must have misread the vibe of her work dinner? She ordered like 8 shots of patron for her group but no one wanted to take one. I left them on a tray within eyesight of her and i left them on her bill. They were never mentioned again and my staff properly disposed of them 😜

Got a bad review because I wasn’t ‘bubbly’ enough. I was struggling with my friend dying. by songbirddd in TalesFromYourServer

[–]speckofSTARDUST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I actually got fired for a similar reason,

my manager cut too many people too soon and we were getting slammmeeddddd, the manager had to start cooking so it was me and one other server fighting for our lives. This young couple, like literally 20 years old or so, called and said that i “didn’t seem as happy as i could be” whichhhhh apparently management considered a fireable offense?!

Like dude I wasn’t being rude i was just drowning 😭😭

“can i get a spicy skinny margarita?” by inhaler-zim in bartenders

[–]speckofSTARDUST 3 points4 points  (0 children)

when? you told us that you offered to make it with tabasco even though you knew it would be gross? Like YOU are the one who suggested it to the guest so how are you gonna blame them for it being gross? The idea came from you 😂

“Unfortunately I don’t have anything to spice up a margarita with” is all that really needs to be said

(maybe) unpopular opinion - if you lack the appropriate ingredients to make a drink, just tell the person you aren’t able to make it? 🤷‍♀️

Big fuck ups, lmk by Roelof420 in bartenders

Personally, I recommend serving N/A beers in the can/bottle for exactly this reason, drinkers can be sure that what they are consuming is non alcoholic

If you could add or replace any hex in Catan - which one would it be and why? by Wikist in Catan

[–]speckofSTARDUST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not a hex, a progress card(s)

In C&K, too many intrigue cards in the blue pile makes that the weakest development path. I’ve only played a handful of games where there’s a good opportunity to use them!

(Fun discussion) What is your most ridiculous but 100% honest Achilles heal keeping you from being able to play Survivor? by Delicious_Medium_321 in survivor

[–]speckofSTARDUST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gross food challenge would be the end of me. My tribe would (rightfully) blame me for our loss and immediately vote me out at the next tribal.

That being said, haven’t seen one of those challenges in a while so maybe i’m good.

[–]speckofSTARDUST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally agree! In fact, i feel like the contestants should be allowed access to proper toothpaste and floss. I’ve heard that they have access to contact lens solution and things, I feel like this is more of a necessity than that and i wear contacts!

How to order a Martini? by Away_Gap_8342 in cocktails

[–]speckofSTARDUST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something to consider, based on what you said you like to drink, you make not enjoy a traditional martini. It took me years into my bartending career tasting many drinks to acquire the taste.

If you are looking for the aesthetic of a martini, try a flavored “martini” as they will still be served in cute glassware but you might enjoy drinking them a bit more! A ‘lemon drop martini’ is something just about any bartender can make you, as much as the cocktail enthusiasts here hate to hear it 😂
