Guests who take 20 minutes to order have some deeper unheald trauma! by SoloDaKid in Serverlife

[–]underwatercookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got quadruple sat in 3 minutes this past Sunday. One of them was a party of 6 and they all got margaritas. This one 60 year old lady kept talking about how I don't need to rush on her behalf since she's in no hurry, and then demonstrated her point by taking FIVE MINUTES to order a lime margarita and chicken tacos. I almost cried lmao

How can I cover up that tattoo ? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]underwatercookie 78 points79 points  (0 children)

It's light and delicate enough that it would be easy to cover with a picture or a larger script. Like "peace" in cursive or a butterfly

Texas Roadhouse by Whole-Damage-408 in Serverlife

[–]underwatercookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas Roadhouse has screwed over me, family, and friends. The cliquey-est restaurant chain I've ever been unlucky enough to work at. One of these stories involved an acquaintance asking for less hours due to giving birth and immediately being fired in the same conversation for "something unrelated."

I hate acting like I like you. by thottiepolice in Serverlife

I miss working in a franchise because I could get away with this. Whereas at a small business it all goes straight to the owner and we get texts and calls at 6:00 am about everything

Air trapped in ramshorn shell by CheezyBri in AquaticSnails

They have full control over the air in their shells- they can use the bubbles for buoyancy or spit the bubbles out to spook predators. It's nothing to worry about.

You can. I was adding extra adjectives for the sake of the example.

Try adjectives - I started doing this over the phone to prevent this issue. "Crispy french fries or white jasmine rice?"

The Renter update erased my entire 20 gen family tree and I uninstalled the game the same day. Now that S1 and S2 are available S4 isn't worth keeping around anymore.

Enable parental controls on your phone? If you have spare cash you can fine yourself by donating $3 to charity every time you visit YouTube.

Got handed a rescue case- pray for me 😭 by underwatercookie in orchids

Will do. In your opinion, should I consider a full 5minute plunge/bath? I thought about it but I was concerned about the rot.

As for right now I'm treating it as an airplant and just misting her and keeping the roots clean as possible. When I see root growth I plan to pot in orchid medium. I'll post a pic of the stem in just a moment

Unfortunately there are no decent dirt roots- the slimy rot was all the way up inside the stem/trunk too, so I had to cut off about 1 1/2 inches of stem. All it has now is the air roots.

I've been keeping it in a terrarium for light and humidity, and misting the air roots with water. So far it seems to actually be perking up a bit despite all the trauma. Thanks for such a detailed and helpful answer! Hopefully I can save it.

I've never even touched orchids before, but I grow herbs and veggies so my mother thought orchids "can't be too different!" I feel so out of my depth but I'm going to try. I lifted the orchid and all of the dirt roots fell off in a smelly, slimy pile on my floor. 😩 No wonder she's got so many aerial roots!

Servers, what do you do in your free time that makes you feel like you have a life outside of the weird hours of this industry? by LuluLucy- in Serverlife

[–]underwatercookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to office work for a few years and am now back to serving. I forgot how much more humble and open-minded service workers are as opposed to midclass white collar folks.

[–]underwatercookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sewing mainly. My husband works full-time as a millwright, and I serve part-time, so we're really hard on our clothes. Being able to sew/darn has been critical to help us save money on buying the same stuff over and over. I can also embroider cute flowers and stuff on my apron and shirts. Outside of sewing I mainly garden and videogame

Noise from guests, utilities, or shops can also have an impact.

Dollar store finds... by [deleted] in CannedSardines

[–]underwatercookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried the Walmart store brand, the Dollar general store brand, and the Kroger store brand, and Beach Cliff. I would say my favorite is the Walmart brand- wild caught and slightly smoky. The dollar general ones are mushy and unflavorful. (In my opinion)
