I was recently diagnosed with POTS and started on emergency beta blockers. I have a restaurant/fast food style full time job and was wondering if any of y'all here have a similar background that could tell me the average BPM range I would be in while at work? The ER doc and my primary said to keep track of it and sit down if it gets too high but idek what too high of a heart rate is while on betas. Without them, my resting went from it's usual 74 pre-diagnosis to now being lucky if it's below 95, standing spikes it to 120+, moving around doing anything physical like walking around my kitchen is spiking it over 180. The betas are keeping it below a 125 while walking around my kitchen now but I have to go back to work later today for the first time and idek what range or rate should be the "hey the floor seems like a good idea rn, let's take a second," threshold. Any and all help and advice is appreciated!!

I'm still very new and confused to all of this and trying to come to terms with seemingly overnight developing a very debilitating disorder.

I've been in pain management with the same doc for close to a decade. I was just diagnosed with POTS and put on beta blockers. I see my doctor Monday. Is this one of the conditions I tell him about or is this one of the "they don't need to know what they don't need to know?"

One of my friends works at a different store and her SM is a kinda one of those more strict, all hail the siren, this is the standard/policy 24/7, will always point out the single second you make a small mistake but never tell you that you're going anything correctly, etc., managers. Idk why but for some reason the SM seems to not like my friend along with a couple other partners and there hasn't been a clear, exact reason for it. Recently she tried to request time off for a weeknight sometime in November and the manager denied the request stating she "doesn't know what the business will look like that far out in advance but they can revisit the issue for sure closer to the time frame. The request is too far in advance right now."

The plot twist though is that multiple other people have already gotten time off requests for that far in advance or even later dates already, and no one else has requested this date yet. Just her request was denied and told it's too far out. I've never heard of an SM saying that the request is too far in advance and also, to her point of saying no, wouldn't it be easier to plan in advance

What the ACTUAL fuck happened to "simplifying/streamlining the menu," and to wanting to go back to "being about coffee," so much so that we rebranded as THE Starbucks coffee company?? Instead you're adding new drinks and ingredients every few weeks, making drinks have 10 steps but meanwhile expecting me to defy the laws of physics and still have it made in sub 45 seconds but you're still spouting bullshit about "oh it's a 4 minute expectation from time of placing the order." I miss my job being about coffee. About making coffee. And I'm fucking sick of being lied to by bout you and full off Bullshit Burrito Boy Brian. And now I just saw they're test launching yogurt milk matcha drinks to add onto the menu next. WHWRE TF IS THE COFFEE????

I am so fucking sick of every goddamn day cold bar getting three times the amount of tickets than anywhere else, none of them even fucking contain coffee. Also customers, I hope you know how much they're laughing about scamming you with every launch. You guys do realize that Burrito Boy took all your kids fraps off the menu, saying we need to simplify the menu only to turn around and complicate it worse than it already was? And that we can still make every single one of those drinks, meaning he got rid of the button to be able to charge you for every modifier to make those fraps bc he knows your crying, screaming upset kids won't understand why they can't get their usual drink bc suddenly overnight it's $8+, so chances are you'll just spend the money anyways?

The only people he abuses and cares less about than his employees are his customers. That's for damn sure.

I recently completed my interview with my (hopefully) new SM and he said now we just have to wait for the background check to clear and then I can be fully onboarded and scheduled to start working. I applied, interviewed, and am being hired as an insider but when I got there to do the interview, he gave me a paper than asked for my name, address, social, and license number for the background check but the paper had also asked for my car insurance.

Currently everything on my insurance and license is all taken care of, active, and shouldn't cause a problem in those sense of things but I do have a couple speeding tickets on my record, plus my license did get suspended for all of 3 days bc I didn't realize for one of my tickets I had to also pay a clerk of county fee, not just the ticket fee, which I obviously very quickly rectified and had everything reinstated. I know realistically since I'm not driving for them, this really shouldn't come into play but my anxiety would really just appreciate a confirmation of that. Thanks in advance!!

Nothing crazy complicated, I'm just wondering which exact resource to look up to find what the standard is when an inside cafe customer asks the bar partner who is pretty hands full bc they're soloing for a cup sleeve? I could've sworn a while back when we put them back out on the condiment bar, we were told either to say or that we could say that [paraphrase] "they are located on the condiment bar for easy grabbing" and direct them that way (at least I know we were told to do this in my district especially during peak/soloing both bars). I could also be entirely wrong AF.

***Disclaimer: yes I understand it's not that deep, me nor anyone at my store has an issue just handing the sleeve out, we were just debating about hypotheticals and got on this topic and couldn't figure out where to look to find it***

Hello all 👋🏼👋🏼 I'm debating signing up for ASU summer semester but just had a couple quick questions for those of y'all that have/are doing it.

1. around how much on average did you spend out of pocket per semester for the fees and books? I'm probably going to find used books/rent from Amazon for anything I can't already find online for free to try to keep costs down but I'm worried about it

2. Did any of you guys actually get any sort of grants/scholarships through FAFSA?

3. I'm assuming it's the same as how it was a decade ago when I graduated high school where I can just go online and fill out any and all scholarship applications that I might qualify for to put towards these costs?

4. If any of you guys did take the route of question 3, does anyone have any good sources for scholarships nowadays? I'm ngl, it's been a freaking minute since I was last in school.

5. How many classes are you required/allowed to take a semester and does anyone have recommendations on what I should start out with? I was in college for a while but then had to withdraw in the middle of the spring semester and take the summer off too bc of a severe flare up in a chronic medical condition I have. When I got back, they said that bc I withdrew after the drop date, despite having medical documentation and letters from physicians, I lost my full bright futures scholarship which made it extremely hard to afford school which then contributed to stress and my medical issues getting worse and I ended up dropping out altogether. I really want my degree, even if it's just to have it, but also to have more job security for when I want to leave this hellscape.

Thanks for any and all help/advice!!

I'm a patient, not employee. The other day I got a call and they were asking if I had somehow hopefully been accidentally dispensed 60 instead of 30 of a controlled medication bc they were doing inventory, were 30 short, only two people take this med and dosage and based off the filling dates, I'm the one it would be with if it happened. I count my controlled meds as soon as I get to the car or my partner gets home from picking them up bc I've been shorted before. Once I even caught 5 extra pills and had to get out and go back inside and give it back so there wouldn't be any potential issues on my end.

I actually like the main pharmacist and techs here and have been coming here for years. They had issues finding second pharmacist for her off days, had floaters for a while which is when all those inventory problems happened, but now finally have a solid second pharmacist, who was the one who dispensed my last fill. Im just worried about them and wanted to know how screwed they'd be over this bc I don't know anything about working in a pharmacy.

Is it just me, or does this application process/portal have more glitches than our actual technology at work? I swear EVERY dang time I try to go on there to continue my application, it glitches and bugs out like crazy, the page is always timing out and having to refresh, therefore making me start over, and half the time the damn thing doesn't load altogether, and I get stuck on a completely blank white page (cue Mumford and Sons). It's almost as if you'd think they'd wish we would get so frustrated about it altogether that we would just say "Fuck it, I'll apply next semester or just apply elsewhere entirely," which, with the way they've been acting lately, wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to find out it's true SMFH
