My mistake, you're actually supposed to salt the vinegar first.

what should I do /ck/? I really like the location, the coworkers, and the customers but it's so frustrating being overseen by an owner who is running the place into the ground. I got a full time job working in a hospital that starts in a few weeks, but I really do like working in a cafe part time.

Is there a way to get this dude to listen to reason or should I jump ship?

Ok, next we move to thread captures.

How about you think a moment on what you want to tell us and then try again?

You did good. Balvenie is a good beginners malt.

If you ever get curious about a smoked whisky, give Lagavulin 16 a try. It's excellent.

/ck/ has turned from a lighthearted helpful place into a no-fun-allowed blight of spitefulness.
