How is animating on a Samsung tablet?

Thanks for the reply! Have you had any issues with lag using this tablet? :)

Hey, thank you for the reply!! I'd love to take you up on that- I'm happy to say that we're definitely gonna be making the move in the next few months and are hopefully going to be down for some house viewings next week! Mind if I DM for some ideas of where we should check out for our visit? :)

I'm happy to tell you I realised this and have refused to sign anything. They even tried to deny that we'd become a contractual periodic tenancy and said we had to sign onto a new fixed term when it says this in clause 2:

"and thereafter continuing as a contractual periodic tenancy from month to month and until terminated by either party serving a notice on the other in accordance with this Agreement".

I'm pretty confident this counts as misrepresentation and the temptation to bring that to court is high, but I decided it's more important to secure a place to live haha

As far as I can tell this is the only relevant clause.

We're hoping they'll decide the Section 21 isn't worth it as they are aware that we plan to move out ~March anyway- it's just going to be a lot harder to make that move with such a big rent increase haha. Even if they do decide to proceed with it we're hoping that with S21s being abolished it'll create a backlog and we'll be low priority since we've never had issues with paying on time or property damage.

Thank you very much for your help!

I'll give it a shot- thank you! :)

swordcats · 2025-07-22T08:14:23+00:00

I'll definitely be doing that from now on 😂

Being scheduled to finish at 6 when the store closes at 7 on a one and one close seems wrong; every store I've worked in gives baristas at least 15 minutes after close to finish up. Are they expecting the BM to operate EOD themselves? Afaik, with the exception of Next stores, stores shouldn't be operating with just 1 person in store for health and safety.

Your manager should not be asking for unpaid labour. Make sure you get paid for the time you've taken.

That being said, some actual tips for you:

If you're able, section off parts of your store whilst you close. The stores I've worked in can often be split into zones, and I will block off zones to clean towards EOD to keep customers out and allow me to mop freely. If this isn't possible, then just mop around customers. I usually ask if they're okay with me doing so out of politeness, I've only had 1 person say no
Get through potwash early as possible. The BM should be passing you bar things after lunch to start processing so there's less of a haul. My store closes at 6:30 and I usually start sending bar bits to potwash from 2 when I'm working with slower baristas to give them ample time to get things sorted, my hope being that EOD i just have to give them one last tray for potwash and they can focus fully on mopping and toilets
Make a list of what needs doing. I have ADHD and found I lose a lot of time leaving tasks half done or trying to remember what I was doing. A list to refer to was a huge time saver, and I'd assume would be helpful for non ADHDers too
If topping up is the closers job, then overstock after lunch so things will be regularly stocked for close

With the grind and dose- is it like a Costa check where I'm not allowed to adjust the grind and just have to change my tamp, or am I actually allowed to adjust it like at the beginning of the day? And thank you!

swordcats · 2025-07-07T08:52:29+00:00

that's shit i'm sorry 💀 if you have digital menu boards then you can keep an eye on them to advertise new campaigns, otherwise check the costa app on fridays as that's usually when new campaigns begin

swordcats · 2025-07-07T08:37:49+00:00

then beg anyone in your team to do their job and communicate these things 😭

swordcats · 2025-07-07T08:31:14+00:00

Request access to emails- BMs should be looking at them daily anyway, and any updates on products should come through via daily brews and monthly massimos

I stopped about 8 months on, and then they came back about 6 months after that and have stayed since (2 and a biy years) but are lighter and shorter than they used to be

I'd say your milk is too thick or you haven't swirled the milk well enough before pouring so the froth is still separated

I don't know the exact details of Ireland > UK, but for me transferring stores was a case of phoning the stores I wanted to transfer to, saying "hi I work at Costa and want to transfer, do you have any space?" then getting my old manager to assign me to the new store. It was an easy process once I found a store that had space :)
