  • I’ve worked on both sides of the house for 14 years and I’m in management now. The issue is once you open products, not when they’re sitting there. Sitting there is also an issue, however, as stock that doesn’t move still incurs costs. I work on the institutional side now and we only provide nonalcoholic beverages, but they are either single serve or cheap bulk prep. These are not what people are expecting at a restaurant. Many items in cocktails also have long shelf lives after opening or are cheap/move quickly.





  • I accidently started a trend among a certain group of being early to the meeting because I was worried about being late. So, instead of getting ten minutes to mentally prepare with a book or podcast, it became asinine small talk. Now I’ve just gotten better at being ten minutes early without signing in and setting a two minute timer on my phone to log into the chat. Now they complain I’m not chatting with them. Why can’t they understand I’d never choose to interact with them, this is work.




  • Damn, that’s really dark. I have noticed that people who experience a lot of trauma or prolonged poverty sometimes fall into some really shitty thinking structures that either allow them to lash out at others and society at large without the moral hangups most would have. It seems to give them a sense of power they lack in their daily lives. I have some empathy, but certain things are inexcusable and unforgivable. Harming children, animals, and the elderly chief among them.


  • Ha, that’s awesome. Good work. I encounter these types because of some of my hobbies, and I can only handle them so much. I ensure my own opinions are known when this shit comes up and that I’m not interested in their dumbfuck opinions, but it gets exhausting exerting this constantly. The cat I’m talking about wasn’t like that back in the day, though. When I met him, he was an anarchist (borderline crust) punk who was accepting of pretty much anyone except nazis. Interesting the paths folks take in life.



  • He was permanently banned from Facebook last year, lol. Idk what he did, but he has asked me to create an account for him to eventually take over because I don’t have one. I flatly refused and expressed that it is probably best for him anyway. The LGBT hate is definitely an interesting turn for this particular guy, known him twenty years, but given the slow spiral I’ve watched, I’m not surprised. Last time we talked, he mentioned “learning more history,” but he quickly followed it up with “but I’m done trying to convince people” before I could respond. I wanted to ask if that was a promise, goddamn.


  • He is black, and I’m guessing moorish temple based on his comments and other things he’s dabbled in. Most of what he dabbles in has roots in black nationalism that I recognize. Funnily enough, there’s occasional veiled nazi shit I think he’s unaware of, though given the far right nature of it all, I’m not surprised his uninformed ass stumbles across them. What is also strange, I do not think he harbors racial hate, though he may have some homo/transphobia. I’m not entirely sure because I’m not interested in listening to that shit. Though it would fit with the far right pipeline.
