I don't 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.920 know how I feel about anything that ever happens. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.880 Ever, all from Jay Jay. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:27.319 Yes you called me, Yes I didn't. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:30.000 What's your deal? 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.640 My expectations are too high for everything. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:41.800 Your expectations are too high for everything? Yeah, man, this 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.240 is a class It's a classic issue. I'm so glad. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.319 I'm actually really glad you called in because this is 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:48.760 one of my favorite topics. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.760 Oh thank you. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.080 Tell me about the last time your expectations were extremely 0:12:54.160 --> 0:13:01.120 high for something and they were brutally, brutally really destroyed 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.400 and you were left disappointed. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:10.920 Well, So the other day, I wanted pizza. So I 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:16.560 saw the commercial for Little Caesars their new pepperoni stuffed crust, 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.160 and I was I was thinking, that looks pretty freaking good. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.280 So I was like, fuck it, there's a pizza place. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.280 It was a Little Caesars right around the corner. I'll 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:29.560 go get me a little Caesar pizza. Well, the commercial 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.839 claim there's nine feet of pepperoni. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:38.440 So claim that there was nine feet I was. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.840 I was promised nine feet of pepperoni in this commercial. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:49.559 I'm sorry, there's nine feet of pepperoni in the crust, on. 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.520 The whole pizza. It was it was like there was 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:52.880 so there was a lot of pepperoni. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.280 Why would you I was surprised at of pepperoni on 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.480 your pizza. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.040 I didn't want it. The commercial promised it to me. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.040 How big was the pizza? 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.040 It was a good sixteen inch diameter. 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.319 How would nine feet this is your fault, how would 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.560 nine feet of pepperoni even fit on a sixteen inch 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.600 diameter pizza? 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:26.400 I mean, I'm I'm no a mathematician. That's what I 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:27.080 was promised. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.760 I was told, all right, continue what happened next? 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.360 Well, so of course, wow, I got interested. I measured 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:42.080 it out. Sure, So I measured every single slice of 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.760 pepperoni out and I stacked it. Yeah, And of course 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.120 it was only like two feet of pizza of pepperoni. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.280 Still two feet of pepperonis a lot. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:15:00.880 So then I stacked it edge to edge. They were 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:06.840 pretty damn close, but they were still like, I leave 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:11.160 the pepperoni out and next to each other. It was 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.680 only it was only seven seven feet and three sixteenths 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.680 of an inch. That's still a lot of pizza or 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.160 a lot of pepperoni. But it wasn't nine feet and 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.760 I was very disappointed and it ruined the experience of 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:25.440 the pizza for me. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.920 Did it ruin the rest of your day? 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:32.960 Luckily not? 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:34.400 You know. 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.120 I had other things to do that day and that 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.160 brightened my day up. But I was disappointed with the pizza. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.920 Did how long did the effects of this disappointment last 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:46.200 for you? 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:53.960 Oh? A few hours? A few hours, about three o'clock 0:15:54.000 --> 0:16:01.440 to six. I'm over it. I'll think about it again, though, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:02.600 and it'll piss me off. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:05.320 What's your name? 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:07.320 Jay? 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:16.400 Jay? You know, Jay, Expectations are different from hopes. I 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.520 hope that you lower your expectations, but keep your hopes 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.640 where they are, because you know, I wouldn't want you 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.840 to experience so many situations like this in which you 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.360 have high expectations, or rather high hopes for a great 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.920 pizza experience, and then those hopes are crushed and then 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.960 you decide never to hope again, because that would be 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.200 a miserable existence for you. And I want you to 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.880 maintain the hope that you have. But as far as 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:49.480 your expectations go, you should lower them. Expect the worst, 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.040 but hope for the best. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.160 That sounds like a pretty good way to live your life. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.880 You know, some people would object and say you'd always hope, 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:04.320 but you know it's it's my hopes were crushed a 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.800 little bit by that. But if I had known, if 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.560 I had hoped not to get nine feet and I 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.200 ended up with seven and three sixteenths of an inch, 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.639 I'd i'd be out of my pants excited for that 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:16.520 much Pepperoni. 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:25.159 I just go to the store, man, Yeah. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.480 Yeah, But what I want to do with what I 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.320 want to do with the whole thing at Pepperoni, It's 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:29.040 got to sit in the fridge. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.240 You got to do with nine feet of pepperoni? 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.359 I was gonna eat it on a pizza. That's totally different. 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.080 Thank you so much for sharing, Jay. You have a 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.160 good rest of the night, you too. 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:45.040 Can I. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.080 All from moments? 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:55.120 Moments moments moments. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.040 Moment like movement Valley? 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.240 I have I have moved done? 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:01.640 Oh? 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:03.480 What do you mean? 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:06.080 Tell me? 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:06.359 Anne? 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:08.440 What are you doing right now? 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:09.960 Uh? 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.919 I just got done washing my hair.

So I kind 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.240 of have to battle that every time. 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.479 We're anxious people around you all the time. With these 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.919 anxious people, are they the customers or your fellow co workers, 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.000 my coworkers? Why are they so anxious? 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.919 Because Starbucks is a crazy chaotic ass place. I mean. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.920 It is crazy. 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.919 Starbucks is a crazy chaotic ass place. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:55.480 Yes, very much so. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.320 And why would you say it's so crazy? Let me 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.280 ask you a question here, and well, do you feel 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:07.399 as though, secretly, secretly, secretly, secretly you're actually attracted to 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.480 the chaos of Starbucks and that is what continues to 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:10.400 compel you to work there. 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.960 No, I'm not attracted to it at all. I want 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.440 to leave. I'm trying to find some more more local, 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.240 like to be a Barissa, because I actually like being 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:24.840 a Barisa. I just do not like Starbucks because it's 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.240 because of like the culture of it, like it enforces it. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.639 Like they'll be like, oh, we enforce positive positivity and 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:37.439 diversity and all of this, and then it'll be like 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.440 a totally different thing, Like I don't think they pay 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.480 attention to that kind of thing when they hire people, 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.560 Like they just say it, but they don't pay attention 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:43.920 to it. 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.200 You know, you said they don't pay attention to it. Okay, 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:52.720 So what have you noticed about your experience of Starbucks 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:59.560 that has been negative and opposite to the positivity the 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.680 positive vibe that they seem to project. 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.399 I mean, I feel like my like coworkers, they just 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:14.840 they don't really they're not very supportive, like they can be, 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.520 but like they only do it if you're like having 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.280 a manic episode or like flipping out, like say I'm 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.679 on bar and then I'm like having a panic attack 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.480 because they're like micro managing me. And then they'll be like, 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.840 you're doing so good. But other than that, it's like 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.040 you're doing horrible or they'll be like you you just 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:37.040 wasted something. And maybe I'm focusing on the negative aspects 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:38.760 of it, like I'm focusing on what they say that's 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.800 negative to me. But most of the time it's just 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:45.040 like I feel like I don't hear anything positive about me. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.159 I've been there for two years, never been employee of 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.480 the quarter or anything. But like everyone always says, oh, 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.320 I love you, I love you so much, but like 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:54.520 I don't wait. 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.879 So that is so so they are giving you some 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:58.639 positive positive no. 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:00.520 No, no no, But it's like they say, but then 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:04.000 they act a different way. You know, they don't they 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.800 don't show the love. They just say it. 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.360 And you know, sometimes look if nobody, if you don't 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.680 feel the energy, if you don't feel anyone in your corner, 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.320 you gotta be your own cheerleader. Okay, you gotta look 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.600 at your vanilla frappuccino and you gotta go. That's a 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.600 damn good vanilla fracino. Nobody in the history of the 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.240 Starbucks has ever made it of an creation, you know, 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.560 quite as good as the one that I made. 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:31.040 You know, my customer, you're right. My customers always say 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.159 I've never had a complaint from a customer except for 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:35.760 in my three months of working, like the first three months. 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.720 But I've never really gotten complains from customers anymore. They're 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.600 always like, I love one she makes my drinks, and 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.879 I'm like, yep, Well, I have a question for you. 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.920 If you are not getting the praise that you clearly 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.480 deserve at this Starbucks location, you have worked there for 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:55.520 two years? How long have you been feeling this like? 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.120 They made me feel in confident from the first time 0:21:58.160 --> 0:21:59.600 I walked in there. This is what I mean by 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.840 they don't forth like positivity or anything like when I 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.280 first started working there, and I only turned for about 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.480 a week because that's how long they train you. And 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.479 after that I was thrown off the bar and everything. 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.919 And I would ask questions because I didn't remember everything 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:16.000 it was a week of training. I would ask the 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:20.160 questions and they'd be like no, or they just wouldn't 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:21.960 tell me anything. They just wouldn't tell me what I 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.359
