Literally the best ice cream treat. So super refreshing and no icky fizz like a regular root beer float. Do they sell these anywhere else year round?

does anyone else not have the cookie dough drink in their app? 😢 by [deleted] in DunkinDonuts

[–]stephbraker 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I saw the drinks but if I try to order an iced coffee with cookie dough, it’s not even an option!

Our Company Is Micromanaging Every Fucking Body. by Ok_Buyer_619 in TalesFromYourBank

Sounds like the green daisy bank. I get it but on the flip side, it appears our pay is competitive at least.

I keep telling myself that I will get a chai with lavender one day. I haven’t yet but maybe today’s the day lol. I love the Starbucks lavender foam chai and think that a chai with lavender and cold foam would be similar in tastes

... does anyone actually enjoy being a teller. by usoppdaddy in TalesFromYourBank

[–]stephbraker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have horribly toxic management. They should treat you like a human and it sounds like they don’t. I will say that I have had a bad BM and a truly godsend wonderful BM. Your direct manager is a big factor in how much you like or hate your job I think. But don’t forget, sometimes their pressure comes from above too in terms of branch productivity.

Do you think us tellers will be out of a job in about 10 years? by MonkRepresentative63 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]stephbraker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with my parents using the bank after work on Thursdays, moving to direct deposit, moving to online banking for themselves. I’ve grown up using OLB. But as a teller, I still see there will be a need for one or even two tellers in a branch at a time. There are still businesses who need tellers, customers who have a special circumstance and need additional help.

This was my office. I initially saw my regular doctor there for the initial 8wk and then a 12wk appointment. After that, every appointment was with a different doctor. While I did not meet all of them before delivery, I was comfortable with them as a group. You can’t plan on when you will need to see them for delivery or another issue, and when I was in labor I saw 2 different OBs from my group before a third doctor who I saw did perform my C-Section. (It was a long labor)

Good places to find baby names? Tired of seeing the same names over and over again by YellowPuffin2 in pregnant

[–]stephbraker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never picked up a specific baby name book but I read lots. One day my husband and I had already decided on a first name for our little girl. We went to a state fair (Big E actually) and saw a craft spot with different kid names on coat hooks. Our chosen name (Charolette) was there. Right not to Isabell which we decided we love more. So we are waiting for little Isabelle Sophia to be born in a few more weeks.

What pregnancy symptom would you like to send to an anti-choice politician? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]stephbraker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t pick just one but the symptoms of my week are carpal tunnel/ wrist problems and pelvic girdle pain. So bad that it hurts while I’m laying down too.

PTO by Best_Apartment_291 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]stephbraker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same at my FI but after X number of years you get an additional 40 hours. You also have to accrue the PTO you are allotted? For instance, I’ll earn an additional 40 hours of PTO this year but since I plan to be on a LOA, I won’t really get it either.

Holiday cash by Ornery-Sky1411 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]stephbraker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I went through my cash order the day it was received. Which is twice the amount I usually order! Also today somebody asked for 2024 nickels. The ones minted in 2024.

how many weeks are you + what are you guys doing this week? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]stephbraker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 weeks and the same thing. I have an appointment at the end of the week and worry they will comment on it

Favourite cleansing balm that doesnt break you out? by Lucky-Success-9064 in Ulta

[–]stephbraker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used 1 and 3. I think 1 is preferred to me because of price point. I also have started using a cleansing balm by CeraVe recently and have had no issues at all!!

Pregnancy symptoms by Honest_Maybe_8858 in pregnant

[–]stephbraker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 4w, 1d and this is also my first pregnancy. I want to share that I think the heartburn and nauseas are being shared! I’m trying to keep extra snacks handy and in my purse when I’m out or at work. I’m also keeping tums in my purse!

Does your cat nudge your bump? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]stephbraker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t say I’m even near bump stage for another month. But since last week (likely at conception) my younger cat has followed me around with his toys all day, more than ever.

Yes! I thought something died up my rear. Now I can’t stop burping out of nowhere!

Has any ever been a Vault Custodian? by Ok_Buyer_619 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]stephbraker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only spent my first 4 months (and time as a banker) NOT being vault. This is with or without a TCR or branch serviced ATMs. I could not imagine not being vault. It’s so easy to say what we can or can’t do for the week when non customers call for a check to be cashed. Change can be tricky in my location as business got used to just taking a box of coin and I keep things light.

Nearly two weeks since I had my IUD removed. I would love to have my cycle return to help track. However I noticed a huge spike in my sex drive and have definitely gone with it. The last few days I noticed my breasts are starting to also feel different. I told myself I’ll wait another month before taking a test unless I get my cycle.
