Any advice or suggestions that could help? Literally cried in the bathroom stall for a few minutes, walked out perfectly fine while wanting to break down inside.

I absolutely hate front counter after 2PM, cause it's just me on front doing everything with barely anyone else helping me, like I got a line, I'm stressed and want to cry cause the guy on utilities already left, I need to restock lemonade, teas, and the mini fridge but cant with a whole line until someone actually comes to help me! And that one manager (mine was a guy who was on shift) who says "it can wait" WHEN I JUST WANT A 5 MINUTE BREAK AND ORGANIZE LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

Like I prefer drive thru, I just take orders and always have 1 or 3 coworkers helping me do so. Front counter I'm alone until 4 to 5PM when the high school kids come in for their shift. I am dead serious I wanted to cry and just go home after feeling abandoned on front counter and the director (ONLY GOOD UPPER MANAGEMENT PERSON WE GOT) already left for the day. The moment she walked out, I wanted to absolutely break down crying while curled up cause if a stupid bus comes in, only 1 or 0 people will help me. SHE was the only one who bounced everywhere and helped everyone.

Cause what do you mean I got to do school rush, that unexpected mid rush at 5PM, than dinner hours!? Sometimes when the FC person at 5 comes in, they're dragged into a different station and I'm just left there ALONE WITH 10 THAN THE UNEXPECTED BUS OF 46 KIDS COME IN!?

Like what do I do or say about my situation and my dislike for front counter??? Do I tell a trusted manager I hate being on front after 2PM, shut up and deal with it til I'm depressed, or shut up and cry in the bathroom every chance a get!? I am still a minor, the main boss say they don't want me burning out, than the higher up but lower position than them puts me on front counter 3 days in a row!? TOOK 3 DAYS for me to want to scream and cry!

Genuinely, why are we not allowed to take tips? Is there an actual reason for this?

I had like 8 guests try to give me dollar tips, but I had to decline until one morning manager said I may take a dollar tip, and a coworker said "if you get tipped, don't tell management", so I'm genuinely curious as to why.

EDIT: it's just a question because I'm still considered new to my first ever job, so please try to give me a respectful answer as to why. It will be appreciated

WARNING: SUICIDE MENTION. Why does my stepmother always act like this to me for years? Im tired of everything but have to act.

I 16F, grown up with my stepmother since I was 4, ever since she married my dad when I was 6 she was no longer the kind loving woman, always yelled at me every single day over something I didn't even feel safe in my own home growing up. At age 8 she called me evil when my dad was thinking about divorcing her, she always competes for attention even to my dad's dog we used to have, by age 13 I already been called every single bad word in the book all over something I didn't do, forgotten, or something.

I didn't do anything to her when I was younger, I just existed from last I knew.

She gave up trying to homeschool me, I didn't go to public school, I grew up isolated, she takes everything from me instead of teaching me why not to do a certain thing (like talking to strangers online, sharing too much detail and so on).

By age 11 I literally wanted to die cause she made me feel worthless and suffocated, I told her sister that online and she called CPS, instead of me going to a therapist after canceled investigation I just got punished for feeling that way (aka she took my xbox which was my only way of friends). At 14 I gotten a therapist only for a month before they took me out and called the therapist bullshit, and ask themselves what is wrong with me.

Now I'm officially 16 feeling safer at my job seeing my manager and 2 coworkers more as a mother and my male supervisor as an older brother. Officially have emotional issues with my head hurting 24/7 which is probably linked to my emotional state.

Ps: my dad stopped trying to control her attitude, I still don't have friends, CPS is practically useless here, my other phone is monitored. So practically I don't have any support group, nor do I have a car yet to attend appointments myself.

We cannot be serious tiktok. Ask 18 or under and still ask the same question when you say yes or no?

"Are you under 18?" Clicked yes and it asks for proof, click no and it still asks for proof??? What happens if I just don't answer this cause this fully got me upset, cause it won't even let me see the birth year I put in cause why ask me this question unless I put it in wrong. Yet it has birth year data (it won't even let me find my birth year data) but still asks anyways. Like uh no, I'm not giving you my face, ID, nor a card I don't even have cause minors cant get credit cards unless on a parents account.

THEY BETTER NOT DELETE MY ACCOUNT ALL BECAUSE I DIDN'T GIVE INFO

Why do our (or just my brain) switch accents when saying a word or to describe someone who speaks a different language?

Genuine question, cause when I speak to spanish accent customers my brain immediately goes into a spanish accent when I don't even understand spanish, or just saying the word spanish my brain switches.

Question 2: why do my coworkers give each other one side glance look for a second before facing back to me when I ask for help with a spanish customer? Example: "I have a lady here at front who speaks *spanish*" and my brain immediately says Spanish in a Spanish Mexican accent. Like I'm not trying to be rude, I notice immediately when I accidentally switch accents out of the blue.

Ectopic pregnancy suspected, delayed treatment led to miscarriage and near death of mother.

9 week pregnancy went to raptured tube after an OB-gyn said to "wait to disclose the ectopic pregnancy situation" 2 weeks ago. Mom in ER with surgery and a miscarriage. What I'm here to ask if we should sue this doctor who caused this by making a possible (to confirmed in ER while mom was dying) ectopic pregnancy be delayed. This is Virginia Roanoke county if that helps anything.

I am not asking for medical advice. But how should we deal with this situation. Please anyone give me an answer. She's still in surgery.

Diarrhea for almost around 5 to 6 days.

So 16f, about 110 and 5 foot 2 ½. I only have a lung issue I take medication for. I don't smoke nor drugs.

Explanation?

I been having diarrhea at least once or twice a day than sometimes solid, I searched and stuff said this isn't normal.

What I eat and drink?

Since I work at a Chick fil A, I eat lunch there almost every day unless a day off, nuggets, the fries, the cookie parfait, and brownie mixed with ice cream (i know it's a bit too much) so I'm curious if this is possibly an intake damaging my function or a reaction after 4 weeks of this. At home i eat chicken, steamed or baked vegetables, burgers or just whatever my parents make. For breakfast I eat oatmeal mixed yogurt with cut banana every day. Drinks is either sweet tea or regular water.

Should I see a doctor or try and change the diet first?

New hires confused about CFA hierarchy roles? Read this!

Red teammates, gray trainers or team lead, black or navy blue is shift supervisor, and director depending on store (my director wears different colors) certain shade of blue, black, or gray depending on location. operator? Just something neat and professional, not a strict dress code they follow. So new hires I hope this information helps you tell who to ask for help if your team member doesn't have an answer!

Btw if front counter or outside drive thru, the tablet thing is color coded as a way to help!

Does anyone know why Chick fil a's have no yogurt for their berry parfait?

Genuine question cause my chick fil a has been out for a week now, and guests are getting disappointed hearing it's not available.

All I know is about some production issue, but wonder the estimated time we all can get some yogurt.

Why the lemonade is expensive

So these are the packs they come in from, about 8 to 10 of these per box costing 45 to 70 bucks (every chick fil a has at least 5 boxes and 5 premade regular and 2 diet in the large cooler). Made with lots of water, one large cup of sugar or if diet a special sweetener for diet.

So those gallon jugs people complain being 15 bucks or something like that, this is why. It is expensive for these packs that not even staff are allowed to drink too much unless they're paying for their cup, only like 1 or 2 cups on shift is probably fine as long you don't make a big deal on it.

What I feel like we agree on or expect to see this in G6.

Number 1: we need to see flurry heart, apple bloom, sweetie bell, and the rest of the younger ponties teenagers or adults, cause it g6 reboot of g4 somewhat, but we got expectations.

Number 2: WE BETTER SEE APPLE JACK AND RARITY OR WE HAVING BEEF.

Number 3: I hope we see the young ponies in the show more as a continue on after G4 storyline WITH G4 coloring, lore, and everything we got that G5 ignored.

Number 4: This better be in 2D, doesn't suck like G5, good songs, not in a technology timeline and remain somewhere in G4 timeline.

Who here agrees by any chance on these expectations?

Can dead family members come back as demons?

Genuine question cause what if, a dead family member who did a lame not so important sin, comes back as a demonic being just to see if you're ok and doing alright if they're protective and loving, cause it would kinda suck if you cant visit nor see family while in hell.

And my second question is what are spirits? Are spirits dead souls, angels, or demons? Cause I personally would like to genuinely see my dead cat one day and feel peace.

Genuine questions since I don't know where else to ask these questions. Now goodnight for its 10:30PM and I hope I don't scare myself tonight.

EDIT: thank you for your answers and the info that demons can mimic loved ones, I'll keep that in mind. But hopefully one day I get to see or feel my cat around again.
