Find Yourself

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

I’ve seen this on my dashboard a lot in the last week and I’ve felt like an outsider. It seems like the narrative is “The customer wanted [x] and I made a minor mistake and the customer reacted negatively WHAT AN IDIOT!”

I understand that the woman in the photoset is attractive, but that shouldn’t take away from the fact that she was hired for a job and then did it poorly, correct? I mean, who’s the bad guy here? It’s scary to me if this is a world where someone can administer poor service, then post a photoset to Tumblr and still be the victor. That’s just…silly, to me.

If the above is all snark, then fine. However, this doesn’t sit well with me.

Being a solid Starbucks customer, I have something to say to the comments made above mine.

I bet you a year’s worth of Starbucks that this barista apologized for the mistake and offered to correct the mistake immediately.  And I’m willing to bet double that the customer still threw a fit, received the drink at no charge, and will be back again to find the smallest mistakes to lash out about.

A minor mistake doesn’t constitute as doing your job poorly.

But all we have to go by is a 4 panel snapchat.

Seriously though, if you threaten to never come back to an establishment over a small mistake like making a cup to-go instead of to-stay, the barista is not the one with the problem here.

It’s an easy to make mistake and an easy to fix mistake. It’s not doing your job poorly, it’s a mistake. Everyone makes them, and it didn’t hurt anybody.

If you threaten to never come back to an establishment (which, having worked in food service myself, I can tell you is a threat that is never made in a calm and collected voice) because of a small mistake, you become the new problem.

I don’t understand, what is the difference between a “to-go” and “dine in” coffee?

[thequietsinger]

There is really no difference. A to-go cup would either be plastic, cardboard, etc. whereas a dine-in cup is glass, etc. There is no difference in coffee, just someone being stubborn.

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse, but being someone who also works in food service, it really stinks when a customer yells at you for a little mistake. I just wish they knew we are fully humans too.

[sleepyglaciers]

Hello I’m the op! And I’m here to defend maself a little bit. Where I work, I am simply given an order to make; I do not directly interact with the customers until they pick up their order that I’ve made. So chances are the woman didn’t actually state she wanted it served in a ceramic mug, as I was given a paper cup to make the drink in. The woman had a go at me about the mistake, obviously I supplied her with an apology, the drink remade & served correctly, and a free drink card for the next time she returned. She then wailed on for a minute or so about my lack of skills or something (I’m a uni student my skill sets are sleeping and being poor) before storming off with the phrase ‘I will never return, and this is thanks to your actions.’ She planted her arse on the seat and continued to maintain eye contact with me whilst she sipped her mocha. An overreaction of a woman maybe having a bad day, or a shitty week and just wanted her fkn mocha. but service industry people have got to be allowed to bitch sometimes about the awful people coming through our place of work or we’d explode.

baristas not a machine. baristas are humans too. humans are not perfect. if its not right the first time let us give it another try. often the problem is a miscommunication or a natural human error. its not that hard to politely ask someone to please make the drink again and explain whats wrong with it. people are so mean and it sucks. is it really that hard to be nice to another human being?

Bunny falls asleep

[llttlesophie-moved-blog]

bun didn’t actually fall asleep!! bunnies flop over like this when they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. they rarely stretch out and lay down because they’re prey animals, so when ur bun does completely lays on their side or their back, it means they feel 10000% safe around you

"SPENT" & "DOWNER" COWS At the beginning of the 20th century, the average annual milk output of a Holstein cow was 7,000 lbs. Just 100 years later, in the push for increasing profits, that number has jumped to 19,000 lbs per year – nearly 3 times that amount.  Selective breeding to increase a cow’s output of milk has had devastating effects on the cows themselves. Today, a ‘milking’ cow can only be kept for between 3-5 years. After this time, her body becomes so calcium-depleted, her feet and legs so weakened, her body so emaciated that it is no longer cost effective to keep her. She becomes what industry calls a “cull” or “spent” dairy cow. The “spent” cows our inspectors see at “livestock” markets and slaughterhouses in North America are heartbreaking. These cows are often lame, emaciated and weak. Lameness has many causes including sole ulceration, laminitis and hoof rot. Some cows have internal disorders such as twisted stomachs, torn udder ligaments, acute or chronic mastitis (a painful bacterial infection) or are simply so weakened that they become what industry calls “downers.”  Downers are non-ambulatory animals who are unable to rise, to stand or to walk without assistance. They may be non-ambulatory for a number of reasons: broken or dislocated hips, broken leg bones, ulcerated or infected hooves or severe exhaustion.  As soon as their milk output drops, “dairy” cows are sold at auction for slaughter. The transport to the slaughterhouse can be very long for these weakened animals. In the United States, cows can legally be transported for up to 28 hours without food or water.  Source: Animals’ Angels USA Photo: a stockyard* worker hoses a “downer” cow in the face in an attempt to get her to rise and walk to her own death. *a large enclosed yard where “livestock” animals are kept temporarily until they are slaughtered, sold or transported. > Truth about the dairy industry (including organic):www.humanemyth.org/happycows.htm > Truth about the goat dairy industry (including organic):www.fb.com/photo.php?fbid=299973473442531 > Your guide to veganism (includes non-dairy milk, yogurt, butter, ice cream, cheese, etc. products):www.fb.com/BloodyDairy/notes

I can't believe the ignorance of some people. So many comments talking about how terrible it is to squish multiple dogs in a cage and then slaughter and sell them for meat to eat, yet in North America this is the done all day every day to cows, chickens, pigs, etc. are these animals not innocent too? It made this girl sick to hear the innocent dogs barking and then see them on the menu, but hearing the innocent pigs squeal then seeing them on the menu was totally okay. "Let's just say I ate a lot of chicken over there! Poor dogs!" Oh it's so sad about the factory farmed dogs but let me eat tons of factory farmed chickens, driving up the demand for even more chickens. How can you be so obliviously hypocritical? I'm not completely against eating meat, some people just aren't strong enough to give it up.. But that doesn't mean humans need to treat animals like they are not alive. All animals deserve humane treatment. Please stop being selectively compassionate.
