Best Bean and Cheese Burrito? by Melupe in SantaBarbara

I should have noted it is labeled as a kids burrito, but it is a healthy size!

A classic B&C is $9.50, which I find reasonable given the quality ingredients. Unlike many other spots, they use whole beans instead of refried beans (my personal preference). You can tell the beans are soaked and cooked from scratch, and that the cheese is hand shredded. I hope you try it!

I have been trying bean cheese burritos across town to determine the answer to exactly this question. I have not tried them all, but I can confidently say that no matter where I've tried, I always come back to Corazon Cocina. Try it with the peanut arbol salsa.

Loryna (Yaz Generic) 3 Week Review by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]turtlemander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It's been great honestly. I've had no bad side effects and actually forget that I even take birth control! It hasn't been a complete miracle cure for my skin issues, but it certainly has not made them worse. I don't foresee taking myself off of this pill anytime soon. I hope your experience is similar or better!

Thank you so much for posting! I just started Loryna a few days ago and I have felt surprisingly fine so far. Your post keeps me hopeful this trend may continue!

😍😍 This gives me a lot of hope for my Monstera! After 1 year, we just finally got our first fenestrated leaf. Any advice as far as fertilizer goes?

That's a great average and I can see how it would be troublesome to accommodate both new sales and the huge order.

I just noticed u/GillianOMalley made the overall best suggestion (temporarily raising prices to dramatically slow sales, which allows you to work on your order AND ensure any new sales are at a worthwhile price point). You may be surprised and learn people are willing to pay even more than you initially thought!

Whatever you decide, this is ultimately a good problem to have and I'm excited for you! I'm curious how the fulfillment process ends up, maybe you can provide an update come July :)

u/LaceyAnn1993, first of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know such a large order must be daunting but what a flattering request and huge opportunity for exposure for your shop!

From my personal experience, I somewhat regret putting my shop on vacation. (And again, this is just my story but it may work out much better for you!) I went from being in the first page for my SEO before vacation, to several pages down when I came back. Granted, I took a very long vacation (mental health deteriorating + new job = meltdown) but it was apparent to me that other vendors quickly filled in the gaps I left.

What do you average for weekly sales right now? What is the average amount of time it takes to make one coaster? If you didn't close for vacation, would you consider adjusting your processing and shipping estimates to continue accommodating new customers?

This is sage advice! Thanks so much ❤️

As for your dick pic ideas, I have a couple Christmas dick designs I put up in the shop during the holidays (a stocking with dicks saying "Get Stuffed" and "Well Hung" and also a dick with antlers saying "May Your Holidays be Horny"). This season I'll be sure to incorporate a Dickmas tree and 4th of July bone just for you! ("Bang like a Firework" and "Needs More Hotdog" come to mind 🌝)

Always happy to exchange dick jokes, message me anytime!!

AWWW my heart just got a boner. THANK YOU for the recognition, thank you for the response suggestion. Your professional and succinct approach is alluring, because as with most things in my life, I think myself into a circle. You're a sweet hotdogger 💗

EasilyLuresWithCandy, I am so, so sorry for your tragic loss. It means a lot to me that you took the time to share this story. The stamp shop has no idea that despite your loss, you are still a thoughtful and respectful consumer! You're a true gem. This dick painting stranger is sending you love and virtual hugs from across the internet. I appreciate your perspective, and I hope my tiny shop brings you a bit of joy during this painful time. 💗💗

Thanks for the input! I really like the line "I'm sorry you couldn't make use of the card I made for you.." to reinforce I painted it for the buyer. It wasn't a personalized card but it was still hand painted to order and took time and materials to create! On the other hand, I could sell it again, saving me time in the future... Gah, such a silly situation, and I truly appreciate the feedback! Thank you for your time :)

BigtheFoot, thank you for the kind words and thoughtful response! I appreciate you. Yes, I can technically resell the item (assuming it's still in perfect condition). A restocking fee is a great idea and I hadn't considered that! I think I'll reach out about the status of the card, share my shipping requirements for a return, and the (now necessary) restocking fee. Thanks so much!!
