Lol for real but what confused me was that he still tipped well/or even at all at that point!

Dude Sandwich man was a fucking prick lol...

I would love it if there could be a paragon system to develop synergies between skills so you could combine benefits from both skills. Some examples: cooking + herb = enchanted food/drinks prayer + divinition = holy necromancy + farming = rot attack + magic = spellblade strength + agility = parkour Possibilities are endless. This forces creative synergies instead of lateral skilling which makes grinds more interesting in the long run and perhaps a rise of specialised builds as opposed of skilling all approach.

Thankfully I am no longer in that industry. But man thats what you have to do, if you dont just laugh at the ridiculousness of it you'd go crazy lol. Man ive had snow call offs but never the entire shift rofl. That would definitely be an interesting surprise to walk in to

nope

Bro, working in customer service (which I do as well) can be a nightmare sometimes. I'm glad you're able to just laugh these situations off no matter how un-freaking-reasonable people can be at times. I also hope that this happens maybe once every blue moon, lol! The guy who ordered his sandwich seems like he just wanted to cause problems. At my current job, I feel like I can pull from so many funny stories, and I wish I can tell them all. I want to say the funniest one (that isn't so out of pocket) was when everyone on the day shift called out due to inclement weather. Like genuinely, the ENTIRE day shift staff called out that are not part of the management team (Lead, myself the Supervisor, and Manager). It wasn't anything crazy, but here in Seattle, if it snows even a little, people tend to panic. It was just funny because the night shift did not report anything about all the callouts to my manager and I, so when we both came in, we were in shock and just laughed at it all. In the end, we decided to pick everyone up who called in for inclement weather. He picked everyone from the North side, and I picked everyone from the South end. Its a funny story we all talk about whenever there's snow in the forecast, as now we tell everyone if they can't make it, to call us ahead of time because we can pick them up from their house.

Welcome in!

Alright so everyone has that one story from work that cracks you up every time you think about it, so let's share the laughter! They say it's the best medicine after all! One of my many favorites would be when I was managing the pizza restaurant. A girl came up to ask for a refill on her water. As I took her cup she stopped me and said with about the most serious tone ever "but don't put ice in it this time please I'm trying to watch my calories." And I can promise you she was not kidding Another was when a gentlemen came up to the counter to order. He asked for a 16" Pan Pizza. I explained to him that the pan pizza only went up to a 14". He argued that point with me for a minute or two. Then he pointed out that we had 8" Pan pizzas why could I not just combine those and make it a 16"? I tried to explain that was not how it worked, however he called me a liar, left, and called the 1800 number to complain (which came right to my voicemail lol. ) My final one (for now I have a LOT of stories from 15 years of food service and construction) was sandwich man. Sandwich man was this guy that would come in a couple times a week and order... well a sandwich lol. He always came later in the evening and he always ordered the same thing, so when we saw him come in we would just start making his food. It should also be noted that this guy was NOT very friendly and always seemed really unreasonably angry. (Which was part of the reason we would make his food so quick, get him in and out as fast as possible). However, that night he switched it up on us. So at about the 15 minute mark I was making my dining room rounds and as I went by his table I let him know his sandwich would be out in just a minute or two. He was VISIBLY shaking and looked really upset. He looks at me and said I don't have time for this ___ I just need it to go. I said no problem I'll go wrap it up and have the check up front for you. (Mind you it's only been about 15 minutes at this point since he walked into a sit down restaurant) So he comes up front, his food was already out and being wrapped. I hand him the check. He pays with his card, tipped 20%, threw the sandwich in my face, and walked out. And I'm left standing there wondering what in the world just happened lol.

nope

Some friends of mine are not so happy about the required identification due to recent security breaches Discord has had. I think they're attempting to go about it better than it is being perceived though as a result of that. Hopefully this makes things better and safer as they mean it to. A lot of nefarious things have supposedly taken place on Discord with various servers I've seen reported on in the past. Hoping this helps them control some content a bit better to make things safer.

Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally Teen-by-default settings to roll out globally for all Discord users, enhancing age-appropriate protections while maintaining privacy, community, and meaningful connection on the platform SAN FRANCISCO, February 9, 2026 – Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive experience for users over the age of 13. As part of this update, all new and existing users worldwide will have a teen-appropriate experience by default, with updated communication settings, restricted access to age-gated spaces, and content filtering that preserves the privacy and meaningful connections that define Discord. Beginning with a phased global rollout to new and existing users in early March, users may be required to engage in an age-verification process to change certain settings or access sensitive content. This includes age-restricted channels, servers, or commands and select message requests. “Nowhere is our safety work more important than when it comes to teen users, which is why we are announcing these updates in time for Safer Internet Day. Rolling out teen-by-default settings globally builds on Discord’s existing safety architecture, giving teens strong protections while allowing verified adults flexibility. We design our products with teen safety principles at the core and will continue working with safety experts, policymakers, and Discord users to support meaningful, long term wellbeing for teens on the platform.” – Savannah Badalich, Head of Product Policy at Discord. Privacy-Forward Age Assurance Age assurance is the foundation of this new experience and is designed to respect Discord users’ privacy and choice. Discord users can choose to use facial age estimation or submit a form of identification to its vendor partners, with more options coming in the future. Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult, without always requiring users to verify their age. Some users may be asked to use multiple methods if more information is needed to assign an age group. Key privacy protections of Discord’s age-assurance approach include: On-device processing: Video selfies for facial age estimation never leave a user’s device. Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation. Straightforward verification: In most cases, users complete the process once and their Discord experience adapts to their verified age group. Users may be asked to use multiple methods only when more information is needed to assign an age group. Private status: A user’s age verification status cannot be seen by other users. After completing a chosen method, users will receive confirmation via a direct message from Discord’s official account. A user’s assigned age group can also be viewed at any time in “My Account” settings. Users can always go to “My Account” settings to appeal their assigned age group by retrying the process. Discord prompts users to age-assure only within Discord and currently does not send emails or text messages about its age assurance process or results. Default Safety Settings Starting in early March, all new and existing Discord users globally will be assigned new default settings that support age-appropriate experiences while keeping privacy front and center: Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting. Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands. Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users. Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know. Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers. Last year, Discord successfully launched a teen-by-default experience in the UK and Australia, and this global rollout builds on that approach to deliver consistent, age-appropriate protections worldwide. Giving Teens a Seat at the Table: Introducing the Discord Teen Council Along with enhanced teen safety features, Discord is announcing recruitment for its inaugural Teen Council, a teen advisory body that brings authentic teen perspectives into how Discord shapes their experience. The Teen Council will consist of 10-12 teens and will help ensure Discord understands - not assumes - what teens need, how they build meaningful connections, and what makes them feel safe and supported online. By embedding diverse teen perspectives directly into decision-making, the Council will help ensure Discord’s safety features are protective while balancing teen privacy and autonomy. Council input will inform future product features, policies, and educational resources, grounding Discord’s approach in how teens connect through gaming, shared interests, and online communities. Interested teens aged 13-17 can apply to participate in the Teen Council at the link here from now until May 1, 2026. Discord’s teen-appropriate experience by default builds on Discord’s broader safety ecosystem, which includes tools and resources such as Ignore, Family Center, Teen Safety Assist, Warning System, Guardian’s Guide, and more. Together, these efforts reflect Discord’s commitment to creating privacy-forward, age-appropriate experiences that empower teens to engage thoughtfully, connect meaningfully, and develop lifelong digital well-being skills.
