LMAO
In my defense
That was my first time crying in that position since I started, as a highschooler

Otherwise I would've chewed out every coworker I had about who was supposed to be taking care of the book when I'm not there X'D

Coolio perfect!
It's always odd looking with weekend shifts >>

Spookybeast, see? That was my issue. All of the other hosts were *really* sensitive and would cry so people were a lot less harsh with them.

I couldn't cry about that sort of stuff even if I wanted to so people were always emboldened to be so much worse to me, HAHA. Like I assure you sir, if I could muster up some feels about this, I'd feel them just for you. <|3

Spookybeast, yep, think so. Threw me for a loop for a second too.

Omg I had a six top walk in for a reservation that wasn't in the book

I straight up cried and they felt so bad they went across the street💀

Spookybeast, I'm the same, unfortunately. I always talk big game about jobs but I kind of pride myself on being able to stick out what others can't and customers at my job always *loved* me.

But uh, yeah. Feel you there. Or when people wouldn't write down reservations for significant parties (like 20+) and then they'd show up asking for their table and I had to tell them it would be a 2 hour wait because no one took them down. .-.

Send it! I'm sure it'll feel like a massive weight off your back as soon as it's done.

Someone help me do a quick math check >>

If I'm working Friday + Saturday
And two weeks from today is Thursday, the 21st,
That means my last day would be the 16th?

@Hades

I stuck around because we have some regulars and they made it slightly bearable
But yeah this past week was ... God
ToT
People were writing 7:00 reservations before 5:00???
Like I don't even know how you mess up that bad
It screwed up the whole night

Sending my message to the boss man now X"D
 Hades
10:22:33 
Spookybeast, I would give a 5 seconds notice at that rate.

Ohhh... yeah, as soon as you said host, I knew. My most recent job was a hostess job, HELL. Complete hell. But I still stuck it out for a year and some change.

... I quit because my job was deplorable and I still never had to do that. Step-by-step instructions, are you for real?

What was the final straw if that wasn't? xD
 Spookybeast
10:22:23 Will
Omg also we don't get tips at the end of the night anymore
They're put into our paychecks

@Hades

Honestly considering like... Maybe a one weeks notice because I've put up with so much

I'm the hostess

I had to buy reservation book paper myself and write step by step instructions for how to, you know, use the reservation book :')
I was so close to walking out one night


Oof that's awful though T-T

ExH (50 rated) howls at the moon!
57 wolves hear them, and 37 wolves howled back!

Spookybeast, I think the worst I've got is they just kinda went, "Okay? And?" when I tested positive for COVID so I still had to come into week sick as a dog. COVID was well-known at this point too but just... manual labor job things. lol

What happened? I don't know, restaurants have always been my worst jobs. 4 hour shifts there are 10x worse than 14 hour shifts digging holes.

@Hades

Yeah
We were going to go on summer break
And then nada

I only returned to kind of test the waters
Plus I had stuff come up where I needed a second job ;;
But dear lord the past two weeks have been hell

Heavily biased through the eyes of Abso's pumpkin mask.

This isn't a complex guide, just something you should maybe read :3
Might help your designs sell.
Or might make you mad at me.
Not saying you hafta follow this.

Theme
Some unnatural designs often go after a theme. Food themes are popular, especially for the closed species you see around deviantart. Some examples are weather themes, animal themes, etc.

Colors
Highlighter designs, or designs that literally look like they've been dipped in rainbow llama vomit, are quite often seen in Adoptables. Adoptables are breedable(usually) designs that are usually more simple can have two designs that are strikingly similar. WolfPlay, along with many similar SIM games should have atleast a few wolves that look the exact same :p I bet my life on that. Your designs on Wolfplay technically belong to the artist who made the markings. Kind of. The ones born and generated by birth anyways. I think lol don't trust me.
Highlighter designs are flashy. And although some people like them, it kinda takes the creativity away.
Usually.

<div align="left">Markings
Don't know about you. But I love markings. Unique ones. Ones that go with the theme and gives the characters something special to stand by.
Unique is not a squiggly line drawn randomly. Actually look at some markings of the thing you're theming after or something like so.
Depending on how well the colors go together, markings may or may not make a huge effect.
BUT.
DO NOT make bucket fill designs. Anyone can do that.
Bucket Fill Design: "A wolf with blue eyes and silver fur"
Unless it's an adopt or you're selling it for really cheap.

Buying Designs (Why?)
Why do we buy designs. That, I'm not sure.
In why me myself buy designs is mostly because the design just slapped me silly and made me go WOW.
I like it. I buy it.
Instinct.
But also because I'm too lazy to design something like that myself.
