As someone that worked in hospitality for years, I can tell you we don’t care unless you’re actively trying to make a mess like sticking gum to the table or throwing food on the carpet. In fact I’d rather just clean the table without speaking to you but I’ve got the tism too.

I live in Australia where this has already been rolled out. I used a sample licence they said “Sam s sample” and had a picture of Mr bean. It worked first try.

I defaulted on a loan and my credit score dropped down to 500. Still being chased by the debt collectors a year later and it’s gone back up to 700 by itself. I have no credit cards or anything. The whole thing is a joke.

Iirc it was printed as a guide with maps and stars marking the restaurants locations and given out with the tyres for free. I guess people back then had nothing better to do than road trip to restaurants. It was popular enough restaurants wanted to be in it which caused them to up their game so the reviewers would add them to the guide and it escalated to where it is now.

I was a bar manager and used to get a flood of applicants every time I needed to hire people. I wasn’t particularly picky since I was always happy to train people up to my standards since I usually had to untrain bad habits anyways, so I would only schedule one interview at a time and generally just hired the first person I interviewed to save myself the work unless their vibes were off.

The one time I interviewed someone where I thought “damn he’s hot asf”, seemed nice, could answer my questions and he was experienced in the role, so I hired him on the spot. I have never had to fire someone so fast. Dude lost his shit at another bartender for bumping into him, I gave him a warning and told him it would be his only one. Shit happens, it’s a tight space.

Then a customer that was smoking in the alley after we shut asked him a question as we were leaving and he said “why the fuck are you talking to me”. Had to tell him not to bother coming in for his next shift…

Not a plastic swizzle stick, a bar spoon. They are stainless steel and have various ends. This is the teardrop, makes stirring ice easier. There’s also a coin (flat disc on the end that op was talking about), that is used for muddling and can also be used to stir ice, and the trident used to get garnishes out of jars like cherries and olives.

It was on the pricier side, about 200 AUD, but I went to an audiologist for motorcycle ear plugs. They took a wax mould of my ears and has custom plugs made. They fit so well I could barely feel them and the filter perfectly silenced my motorcycle while I could still hear cars around me and the music playing in my helmet. I ended up wearing them at work (worked in a nightclub for a while) and I could still hear people talk. There were other filters you could get in them, like for musicians. Used then for years until my dog chewed them up. Highly recommend.

It was a big and very busy pub so we had both glassy and bar back. Usually that’s the same person but we needed multiple people just constantly clearing the floor and washing glassware, and a couple people restocking the bar and changing kegs.

I used to manage a pub, and I hired an 18 year old chavy kid as a glassy and this is how he talked to me. Ngl, it felt pretty cool. I liked talking to him.

Shit ad, 0/10.

I bought a Chromebook for uni (the only thing cheap enough I could afford) and it was so bad I ended up installing Linux and libre office. Years later I got a pixel 2 and it came with a free Google assistant.

Pixel 2 was a great phone until one day it just never turned back on. I looked at getting the 4 and the hardware was all direct downgrades from the 2, including outdated processors from the generation before the 2 was released??

The Google assistant was the most useless piece of shit I’ve ever used. Never bought another Google product again.

I wasn’t able to get anything Google to work with Sonos. I originally had Spotify but cancelled when I couldn’t afford a bunch of subscriptions, and switched to my local stores music - which Google also refused to cast easily.

When they removed the ability to listen to my local music library from the app I started looking for alternatives. Seemingly perfectly timed for the app to shit itself.

I found BubbleUPnP. It can cast to all of my Sonos and my Google assistant speaker with zero issues and can play from Plex, my phone’s local library, and my NAS. Highly recommend. Three free version is usable but paid is only $7 and I no longer need the Sonos app.

I thought it was a piece of white bread on top of custard and you were making fun of him 😂
