I had accepted a painting commission for a friend's friend. Didn't take any money upfront. Was only charging $100 for a 34x26 canvas. It was an elaborate Rick and Marty painting. I had made a presketch, which she approved. She told me she needed it by Christmas so I planned on having it done a few days before to give her time to wrap it or whatever she would need to do. I had worked 4 hours a night for one week on the painting, keeping her updated on the process incase she wanted changes. About a week and a half before Christmas she told me she needed it by the weekend (in two days) or she no longer wanted it. Now I knew I could have the painting finished in two days if I tried, but I wouldn't be happy with the end result. So I messaged her, told her I understood and canceled her order. Then finished the painting and gifted to a friend of mine instead. She was pissed. But don't agree on the due date if you need it sooner.
I made the deal of my life getting a painting from a Serbian artist (who sold his paintings in Belgrade on the street) for 1100 dinar. That's around 10 Euro. It's a big painting, tasteful, of a woman. Didn't even have to pay import toll, as the price was below that threshold.
had a similar one. i make costumes for a living, including fursuits. a really close friend of mine commissioned me to make her one. being that they were a close friend, i figured i didn't need to worry about getting the material deposit up front, and so spent like 200$ on the supplies. once it was finished, she claimed that she was too sick to go the event they wanted it for, and had spent all her money on the hospital (turns out she got suckered into a pyramid scheme). she suggested i could just re-sell it but...no? it was tailor made to her specific measurements! needless to say we're not friends anymore.
I remember having a first date ... She was telling me how she hated living at her parents house and that she was making only $10 bucks per hour. The when I told her I made about $70k per year, she looked at me and said "I only date a guy you makes 6 figures". Then she left ... Dodged a bullet on that one.
When she asked if OP's mom hadn't taught him that "men are providers", he should have replied "Nope, my parents taught me that women are my equals, not my dependants"
Nope my parents taught me to not be a freeloader, and the best thing is what you buy your self. Another thing I had hammered into my head: you can ask for help but you pay back with interest😁. They were right when I bought my car with my hard earned money it was the taste of freedom and accomplishment

Yea, I work in a small cafe + am doing my food hygiene, and there are so many specific rules, the starbucks employee literally can't do anything. Even if it was from their own location, they wouldn't be able to reheat it
Not just that but reheating warm food that hasn’t been refrigerated is a potential health hazard anyway that could cause food poisoning and leave them open to a lawsuit.
they're not even supposed to TOUCH food even if the person just bought it from them literally moments before and had a problem with it. I know Dunkin tells you that they can't take it back, but they'll just make you a new one. and if you get a refill they're supposed to throw the old cup out and give you a new one with new ice. they used to do refills with a discount if you brought your own Dunkin branded mug in and you had a receipt from earlier in the day but I haven't seen anybody do that quite some time so they probably stopped doing that too for the same reason
So everyone knows, as a person that works for a Starbucks, the Karen is expecting people to do whatever she wants 'cos, effectively, this kind of attitude is "allowed" there. They want us to always "make the moment right" which roughly translates to if someone mistreats you/attacks you, we have to "make it right" and give them whatever they want. So, unfortunately, that kind of complaint is commonplace, even if we do what the Karen asks.
It just sucks that all the disgusting people, irrational pranksters and downright criminals of society are the ones ruining the goodwill of decent people and can't let anyone have nice things. That's why it's saddening to know that some warning labels exists because people have done those things before, and no matter how foolproof something becomes there will always be a bigger fool.
I was first a little confused when there was r/photoshop that is that art photoshop edited art where artist take already existing pictures and just cut and edit them together to make art. Then it could be 50$ tbh. But watching the finished picture yeah, that is drawing/painting with extremely nice details. 50$ for that is a low price. o.o Not perfect but still over 50$. 15$ is just personal attack.
As an audio engineer, two days to record, mix and master 9 songs is just not gonna happen. You probably wouldn’t get all the drums tracked in 2 days. Something like that is more likely to take two weeks, probably closer to a month.
Depends on how professional the recording is. I still have some CDs from my teenage years. They were basically recorded live, just everyone playing, mixing guitar, bass, drums and singer live and recording only a single track from it. It was still pressed onto CDs and we had an official album release party in our small town.
@@terriplays1726 I’m going to imagine this guy wants a thoroughly professional job done on his record, judging by his tone throughout the message. I would estimate three weeks for the finished product. Plus the time it’ll take the band to finish the endings to their songs
This is true. People seem to imagine being am audio engineer is just a matter of pushing a few buttons. Like being a guitarist is just twanging a few strings. In reality it's a mix of art and artifice and a good one can literally a band's sound. I have no idea how they practice that magic, but it's uncanny. You want to know why the band you hear live sounds less like the rock gods on the CD and more like the average pub band? - their sound was made in the studio over months of work. And - tonight - their final, almost unregarded member is missing...
He should have accepted the extra $5, and then said "Thanks for completing your deposit! After I get the remaining 35 bucks I'll send the finished piece!"
50 USD is actually cheap compared to how expensive those commissions can be. (Edit: I wrote this before I saw the piece, and my point still stands in my opinion. For that level of quality, 50 is a really good price to pay.)
I once had an argument with a photo-artist friend of mine, I commissioned something but it was put on hold because she had some serious health issues. I was that's fine get better first. and when she was better she wanted to give it to me for free because it had been on hold due to her health but I wanted to pay because I still felt she did the work even if it was on hold for a while. so we went back and forth for a while, she wanted to give it for free and me wanting to pay for it. in the end, we compromised by doing a art trade I would make her knitted dachshund and she would give me the picture.
Ya true , 50 usd for full character design is like a steal , especially when u give 2 page pdf, and that character design got really good lighting and shadows ,op can work for any company with that skills
Question: Why do people comment before watching said piece? Why do people then have to go Edit? Your not on Reddit now .....FFS your point is not relevant because you made it without watching said piece, thus you have no context for said piece, thus your comment is only relevant in the fact it kept the algorithm churning...

Hey, smartass, I don’t sit behind a desk staring at a monitor. I listen to this while I exercise. :) Another thing, one doesn't need to see a piece to know 50 USD is a good price.
Re: the Starbucks story. Starbucks gets in its sandwiches pre-cooked; they're just re-heating it when they make it for you. Under food safety industry standards (across the board, not just Starbucks), an item can only be re-heated once. That's why the barista turned Karen down.
Former Starbucks Barista here, can confirm this. We also had ovens, not microwaves. These ovens are designed to blast food at an incredibly high temperature for a small period of time. If we had reheated her already heated food, it would have come out either burnt or so overcooked it would be inedible. She’s just an idiot who doesn’t understand how this works.
And even if they COULD have reheated it, if the lady had then gotten sick from eating a reheated sandwich that had been sitting out for who knows how long (she said one hour, but do we just go around believing Karens now?), then the store could have potentially been held liable.
The issue with Starbucks is food safety. She could hold them legally liable for getting food poisoning because they aren't following food safety guidelines
Right. Like, she let a sandwich that likely has egg and cheese on it sit around for who knows how long. She can claim any amount of time she wants, but she's probably lying. Then if she got sick from letting the food go bad on her own, she'd just blame the Starbucks. Regardless of which specific Starbucks she blamed, it wouldn't be anyone's fault but her own.
not to mention the germs She'd be spreading... who knows if she spit in it or whatever... now Her karen cooties would be all over the nuker. *_GROSS!_* and who knows... that schit might be contagious... the worker would be on the hook for infecting everybody Else with the karen virus! i think that could cause jail time, to be honest.
for the second one, thats not even the reason, if the choosing beggar had of gotten sick from the food that had been sitting around, they could get shut down.
Dude I almost spit out my drink when I saw Op's art in the last story. I would pay $50 in a heartbeat to get one of my characters with that insane level of detail!
The reason the sandwich couldn't get reheated at Starbucks is for a couple reasons, all food safety reasons. 1. since the sandwich had gone cold, bacteria is already beginning to form. reheating can a time cause that to multiply. She would then eat it, get food poisoning and can go the starbucks. 2. could have placed foreign objects such as insects, plastics etc and once again sued the starbucks. Then there is the fact the sandwich was purchased at a different location which may well be franchised and 'owned' by a different person and therefore not the responsibility of the second store because they received no money from the woman
Similar thing happened to me, guy came through complaining that a different Del taco messed up his order and wanted us to fix it. I told him he needs to get the order fixed at the Del he got it from.

@@helenaborges4880 There is a masters in law, it's just not a common stopping point. If you're going to get a masters in law it's usually one step on the way towards a doctorate in law. If you aren't familiar with the field (which obviously rslash isn't) you might only ever hear about "Juris Doctorate" which is what most lawyers have, which is the step above "Juris Master" which is a masters degree. Juris Master is more common for either law enforcement or various business and management positions, you generally wouldn't stop there if you wanted to be a lawyer. Like a masters in the medical field, a practicing doctor gets a doctorate, the masters degree below that is more common for lab techs, researchers and even some nurses, it's still in the medical field but you wouldn't be an MD.
@@helenaborges4880 depends on where you are and which system you’re in but there are several law masters you can get from the LLM to even an MA or MPhil. The LLM is very popular in the UK with a lot of students doing it before entering into an LPC, academia or something else. Good luck in your career!
@@Vincent_Beers The LLM degree is actually very popular in the US, and most practicing lawyers get it after completing law school. Law school in the US is really broad, and an LLM can help prepare lawyers for a technical field, like tax.
3:13 Okay, when I was dating I had 5 conditions for the guy I wanted to date. 1. Had to have a Car 2. Had to have a Job (preferably one that you can grow in AND that you enjoy doing) 3. Own/rent place of living or at least paying rent. 4. No drugs. (Bad experience) smoking, not a complete deal breaker. 5. Not an alcoholic (really bad experience) social or tasting is not a complete deal breaker. Here is the catch though, I made sure I followed those conditions as well. I have a job, a car and, at the time,, my own apartment. I didn't smoke and I did enjoy the occasional mixed drink while at a bar with friends. Why is it fair to hold someone you want to spend your life and time with to those standards but not do the same for them? I'm married now to a wonderful man based off those conditions. We are expecting our first child. I have asked to be a stay at home mom until the youngest is out of 5th grade (3-4 children if possible) BUT I am working with my husband to make sure this is going to be sustainable for both of us, not just throw all the working hours on him solely and if not completely possible then at least have a part time job while kids are at school or nana's to take pressure off him. It's a partnership not a dependence. No judgement to people who don't want to do it this way or if you have things setup with your spouse this way. That is your decision.
That commission CB is exactly why all the artists I know charge upfront or after the sketch is confirmed - and exactly the reason I'm really nervous about opening my own commissions
Take the money upfront, don't start a commission without being paid, have a TOS, confirm a deadline, never send the finished piece without payment, and if your gut feeling says not to work with a client then listen to it. Red flags fly for a reason. We all gather commission horror stories at one point but its no reason not to go for your dreams if you want to be a commission artist.
I say open up commissions, but be firm about advance payments and don't relent on the matter. If people don't wanna pay, they won't. If they don't wanna pay for the finished project, at least you have the advance as well as proof of a promise to pay, as long as you use chat or have audio recordings. Chat is usually easier. As Kruhee said, red flags fly for a reason.
I like the deposit-up-front system, as it keeps things fair for both parties involved. Sometimes an artist can be a little devious and overcharge or not do the art in a timely manner, sometimes the customer is looking for cheap/free art using these tactics. Best rule is to always give both sides an incentive to follow through on their end of a deal. Deposit up front from the customer to put some stakes on the customer to be honest, and remaining balance paid in full to release the finished artwork so that the artist has to finish the art in order to make the full earnings from it.

On a side note, I just adore Starbuck’s sandwich with spinach, tomatoes, and cheese. Especially warmed up. I couldn’t imagine not devouring it immediately
Nowhere near 100%. It depends on what's on it. And a cpl hrs isn't long enough for a hot sandwich to cool enough to start building bacteria. I live in a small town & when I go to 1 city that's over an hr away, I sometimes grab a fast food burger to eat when I get home & don't even reheat it. Food poisoning concerns would be if op lied about any detail. Especially if (like Dabney said) op put something else on the sandwich that caused it.
Healthy policy is a big deal, and some people doesn't seem to care (until it got them). Some years ago, the restaurants, bakeries, bars, used to give the left overs to people who lived on the streets (they would only give food which was good, but even then it was a lot of food;some organization would even pick on the next day and server to people in need). Until someone got a awful food poison and decided to open a lawsuit. Because the judge couldn't actually said if it was the food (in the sense of the restaurant decided to put something in there), if it was because that person already had a poor healthy (because they lived on the streets), or if it was a case of "maybe they are allergic to something and didn't know?", the decision was that every restaurant, bakery or bar needed to stop giving the left overs, otherwise the could be shut down. It's horrible because they say they are legally obligated to throw in the trash food that is still good, and they know that people will still get the food anyway, but they are not going to disrespect the law (they can't even give to the employees) and get their business close. So yeah lady, they are not going to disrespect the law because of you.
A yes, I remember in business 101 when they told us that giving away product for free was the best way to succeed. You make a ton of money that way. And sarcasm.
I have to say, the having your life put together at 56 comment is a little rude and demeaning. It's entirely possible that someone had their life together at 20 or 30, but then had multiple blows that mean their life has fallen apart by 56. It's also possible that someone never had a chance at getting their life together, such as having a disability or illness that means they can't do much if anything. There are multiple reasons someone may not have their life together enough at 56 to be able to afford an iPad. With that being said, being rude about wanting an iPad for free is a whole other matter and that 56 year old needs to be shamed for *that*.
I honestly would have paid more than 50, that looks so good. Id be like "yeah ill pay 50" and then after i see that id send like 70 or 80 cuz it looks that good.
Holy cow. I can't believe I found you in the comments. Here's hoping you don't get ripped off like that again. I'd buy that picture for more than $50. Your skills are incredible.
Wow, that’s beautiful! Sorry about this asshole. Your art is def worth what you’re charging, probably worth more. I’m an artist too and have had so many people try to get stuff for free. Keep doing what you love and don’t let the bad apples sour you.
@Lenia Carter rSlash describes it in great detail. The art piece was easily worth more than 50 bucks, so CB got a real deal when he only paid 10 to get the watermarked and small resolution version.
The Starbucks story reminds me of when I was a host, and this couple left their used disposable face masks on their table before leaving. Naturally we tossed them, then one of them came back and asked if we held it for them. Then got super mad because we didn't "you don't know how to run a business" 🤣
12:59 As someone who has had a broken leg before I'm calling BS. I was in the hospital for a few hours tops, not days. Both myself and the person I was with had access to phones and internet should we have needed to contact anyone. This choosing beggar is full of it. Edit: The art is awesome.
The Starbucks story that's a rule for any restaurant. Like even if they made it at that restaurant they still wouldn't be able to reheat for hygiene reasons.
rSlash, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your videos. I‘ve been struggling with anxiety for a year now and your videos help me take my mind off my anxiety for a few moments and focus on something different. I also always listen to your videos when trying to fall asleep as this is when my anxiety is particularly bad. So, thank you.
I mean, I understand wanting someone with a job (while also having a job, I mean), but like, having all those requirements and not expecting the other person to have those same requirements is absolutely insane!
I’m happy I’ve never had to deal with scammers like that. I always take 50% up front. If they ask for free work or to pay me after I say no. If they ask again I just say “how stupid are you on a scale of 1 to 10?” And just block them.
$50 for that kind of artwork is a damn steal. I'd easily pay double that. Also, imagine not having spare $50 to pay for a commission and being stuck with a hospital bill for a broken leg
They have to treat you for anything serious like that, then if you can't pay, all they can do is sell it to a collection agency. But most will work with you on a payment plan.

Is it just me, or did this food options in the wedding invitation seem to get worse the morse expensive the gift option? Isn't swordfish expensive? IDK lol
Just... linking what you get to eat based of how much money you spend on the wedding gift? Ethier the bride is planning the wedding herself or she has the worst wedding planner on the planet. Wedding planners are generally leeches, but most are smart enough to know you can bleed a pig many times but can only skin it once. It made worst that if you need a kosher or vegetarian option you have to fork out over a $1,000... like, [expletive], you actually expect me to pay you that much to eat the food my lifestyle or religion requires? I willing to bet that chick had a large ceremony and a tiny reception.
@@bcaye really?? I never bought swordfish before, and I know lobster is expensive but salmon is generally cheap as it's a very common fish, I guess it can be expensive depending on the cuts, idk. But it's almost impossible to find swordfish.
Can confirm for the art one. Every artist has had at least two or even more encounters with some kid who refuses to pay the price THEY agreed on. My own experience with this was when some kid dm’d me asking for a very detailed landscape piece of link from the legend of Zelda botw on a cliff looking at hyrule castle and when I mean detailed I mean this took me 3 DAYS to finish and the price came to be $100 dollars, luckily for me I asked to be paid then I would give him the work he refused and demanded that I give it to him for free giving me some bullshit excuse that I don’t even remember. I told him that if he wasn’t gonna pay me I was gonna delete the work and he said I didn’t have the balls to do it. I sent his a screen recording of me deleting it and I blocked him. Sadly it didn’t cross my mind to save it before I did delete it, THATS how mad I was. That’s why now when I do commissions I ask for 25% before just like op did in his post.
Rslash, your microwave explanation is exactly why the hotel I work at doesn't have microwaves in the rooms. We're in a college town and between the homeless, students, the student's parents, and every other rando, microwaves have been destroyed. So we upped the incidentals charges and removed the microwaves entirely. There's a staff one that the housekeeping manager bought, but we're not allowed to microwave anything for guests, since, ya know, it's not even hotel property, it's the housekeeping manager's.
It's not even that the OP could have put something into the sammich.

In 'real life' I would point out that "Unemployed Mom" is a paradox. Parenthood is the single most important and essential career for the human race, which needs multiple roles with virtually no training or qualifications. Being a parent yourself now, you will realise that the work is hard but desperately rewarding, with twenty-four hour duty, no pay or retirement plan, and ranges from heartbreaking to hilarious. In the case of your title, however, you describe individuals who would make absolutely dreadful parents, who are Mummy in name only, not description. I wish there was another name for women who would rather paint their nails than change a nappy [and I've known some of those, unfortunately]
So a kinda similar thing happened to me with the last story: someone asked me to crochet a custom stingray and they were quick to respond to my questions on customization. But once it came to the price they went silent for two weeks, then told me they were in the hospital during that time and were extremely vague with the reason why. I told them it was no problem and they could just pay whenever they could and again never got back to me. I made the listing public awhile later and the stingray sold pretty quickly after that :)
Omg I'm a starbucks employee and the one about starbucks made me think of these 2 girls who frequent my store. They ask for the most COMPLICATED FRAPPUCCINOS and they are usually IMPOSSIBLE to make because they will ask for things that can't physically happen. The tickets for the frappuccinos are usually too big for a trenta cup. They complain about how we made their drinks wrong every time and they always got free drinks.

(I distinctly remember being partially stuck as I said that, having tried to get through to better address the engineers.)

Six Sigma doesn't allow for that. This is the only way we can do this!" "Do you really think that this will work, or matter, after an operator dies needlessly? No." "Well, Six Sigma doesn't mention anything about that, so it's not an issue. The issue is that there's too much wasted space in this layout." (And round and round we went.) I suppose, it was more the lack of brainpower paired with the flagrant disregard for our physical safety that got my blood boiling. And that we keep hiring engineers with both those characteristics.

When you said "one of my guilty pleasures is the bachelor and the bachelorette" for a split second I thought that was some kind of fantasy. Very relieved when I realized you meant the show.
Years and years ago there was a "Bachelorette" style show called something like Brain or Brawn or something equally ridiculous. The premise was this gorgeous woman had 10 equally gorgeous men and 10 average (or below) looking but really smart men vying for her. It came down to one of each. She and her choice would get $500,000 and a two week vacation to some tropical destination. She, chose the hot guy over the nerd, of course. That was when they, the men, were allowed to reveal their backgrounds. The guy she chose was an aspiring model in his late 20s and, like a lot of male models, was dumb as a brick (this was obvious through the show) and never made it past freshman year in college. He was also totally broke. The nerd on the other hand had a master's in computer programming and engineering. He had just sold his first start up and was worth north of $500 million and was about to start a new business. The follow up show (last episode) showed her and the hunk fighting all the time on the trip and "breaking up" halfway through. She tried to get the nerd to take her back but he informed her that he had more self respect than to be someone's second choice.
I work in an embroidery shop and I’ve had a customer provide his own logo, his own hats, and his own files. We picked out colors together and everything.

The other bit about Starbucks story, from a barista: the sandwich was from a different store AND more than an hour old. Due to covid and health rules, baristas aren't supposed to take back drinks/food that have been partially consumed and/or handled by bare hands. Even if the sandwich wasn't tampered with, just reheating it would involve deep cleaning all affected tongs, oven, etc to avoid food contamination problems. Plus 100% chance of food poisoning from warm food sitting around in a car. Blegh.
I worked for Starbucks for three years and no we weren’t allowed to reheat anyones food because it’s a health code violation. We’re not going to put a sandwich the customer touched and possibly bit into back into the oven. Starbucks takes its cleanliness very seriously. We had a super long cleaning list every day. Pretty much the whole job was cleaning and putting up with Karens.

I had accepted a painting commission for a friend's friend. Didn't take any money upfront. Was only charging $100 for a 34x26 canvas. It was an elaborate Rick and Marty painting. I had made a presketch, which she approved. She told me she needed it by Christmas so I planned on having it done a few days before to give her time to wrap it or whatever she would need to do. I had worked 4 hours a night for one week on the painting, keeping her updated on the process incase she wanted changes. About a week and a half before Christmas she told me she needed it by the weekend (in two days) or she no longer wanted it. Now I knew I could have the painting finished in two days if I tried, but I wouldn't be happy with the end result. So I messaged her, told her I understood and canceled her order. Then finished the painting and gifted to a friend of mine instead. She was pissed. But don't agree on the due date if you need it sooner.
I pay artists up front. Every single time.
@@thunderflare59 pay half first and the rest later after finished.
Welp, nice dodging some bullets right there.
I made the deal of my life getting a painting from a Serbian artist (who sold his paintings in Belgrade on the street) for 1100 dinar. That's around 10 Euro. It's a big painting, tasteful, of a woman.
Didn't even have to pay import toll, as the price was below that threshold.
had a similar one. i make costumes for a living, including fursuits. a really close friend of mine commissioned me to make her one. being that they were a close friend, i figured i didn't need to worry about getting the material deposit up front, and so spent like 200$ on the supplies. once it was finished, she claimed that she was too sick to go the event they wanted it for, and had spent all her money on the hospital (turns out she got suckered into a pyramid scheme). she suggested i could just re-sell it but...no? it was tailor made to her specific measurements! needless to say we're not friends anymore.
I remember having a first date ... She was telling me how she hated living at her parents house and that she was making only $10 bucks per hour. The when I told her I made about $70k per year, she looked at me and said "I only date a guy you makes 6 figures". Then she left ... Dodged a bullet on that one.
@@briannarichardson9511figure is a number

The Starbucks refused to reheat because it is a health violation. No place anywhere should reheat food from any other location.
Yea, I work in a small cafe + am doing my food hygiene, and there are so many specific rules, the starbucks employee literally can't do anything. Even if it was from their own location, they wouldn't be able to reheat it
Not just that but reheating warm food that hasn’t been refrigerated is a potential health hazard anyway that could cause food poisoning and leave them open to a lawsuit.
I work at a starbucks and its the first thing they tell you that it is a health violation plus its grosss lol
they're not even supposed to TOUCH food even if the person just bought it from them literally moments before and had a problem with it. I know Dunkin tells you that they can't take it back, but they'll just make you a new one. and if you get a refill they're supposed to throw the old cup out and give you a new one with new ice. they used to do refills with a discount if you brought your own Dunkin branded mug in and you had a receipt from earlier in the day but I haven't seen anybody do that quite some time so they probably stopped doing that too for the same reason

So everyone knows, as a person that works for a Starbucks, the Karen is expecting people to do whatever she wants 'cos, effectively, this kind of attitude is "allowed" there. They want us to always "make the moment right" which roughly translates to if someone mistreats you/attacks you, we have to "make it right" and give them whatever they want. So, unfortunately, that kind of complaint is commonplace, even if we do what the Karen asks.
Basically similar to get robbed.
Managers who bend over backwards in order to cater to Karens are exactly why Karens do this shit. They know there's no consequences
That sucks. I wonder what would happen if the Karen worked in Starbucks, would they become a normal person?
@@badcreations9527 nope, my mom worked in retail for years and is still a karen to retail employees
It just sucks that all the disgusting people, irrational pranksters and downright criminals of society are the ones ruining the goodwill of decent people and can't let anyone have nice things.
That's why it's saddening to know that some warning labels exists because people have done those things before, and no matter how foolproof something becomes there will always be a bigger fool.
Okay that artwork was worth more than 50 dollars should've at least been 80.
yea I was thinking the same, i've seen other artists of the same caliber charge 70-100 for that kind of art.
Could have been even more tbh the artist is really good
yeah I really wanna know who the artist is
I was first a little confused when there was r/photoshop that is that art photoshop edited art where artist take already existing pictures and just cut and edit them together to make art. Then it could be 50$ tbh.
But watching the finished picture yeah, that is drawing/painting with extremely nice details. 50$ for that is a low price. o.o Not perfect but still over 50$. 15$ is just personal attack.

As an audio engineer, two days to record, mix and master 9 songs is just not gonna happen. You probably wouldn’t get all the drums tracked in 2 days. Something like that is more likely to take two weeks, probably closer to a month.
And lets not forget they even have to finish their songs first during these two days 😅
Depends on how professional the recording is. I still have some CDs from my teenage years. They were basically recorded live, just everyone playing, mixing guitar, bass, drums and singer live and recording only a single track from it. It was still pressed onto CDs and we had an official album release party in our small town.
@@terriplays1726 I’m going to imagine this guy wants a thoroughly professional job done on his record, judging by his tone throughout the message. I would estimate three weeks for the finished product. Plus the time it’ll take the band to finish the endings to their songs

This is true. People seem to imagine being am audio engineer is just a matter of pushing a few buttons. Like being a guitarist is just twanging a few strings.

@@almo28 lmao 💀
50 USD is actually cheap compared to how expensive those commissions can be.
(Edit: I wrote this before I saw the piece, and my point still stands in my opinion. For that level of quality, 50 is a really good price to pay.)
I once had an argument with a photo-artist friend of mine, I commissioned something but it was put on hold because she had some serious health issues. I was that's fine get better first. and when she was better she wanted to give it to me for free because it had been on hold due to her health but I wanted to pay because I still felt she did the work even if it was on hold for a while. so we went back and forth for a while, she wanted to give it for free and me wanting to pay for it. in the end, we compromised by doing a art trade I would make her knitted dachshund and she would give me the picture.
Ya true , 50 usd for full character design is like a steal , especially when u give 2 page pdf, and that character design got really good lighting and shadows ,op can work for any company with that skills

Re: the Starbucks story. Starbucks gets in its sandwiches pre-cooked; they're just re-heating it when they make it for you. Under food safety industry standards (across the board, not just Starbucks), an item can only be re-heated once. That's why the barista turned Karen down.
Former Starbucks Barista here, can confirm this. We also had ovens, not microwaves. These ovens are designed to blast food at an incredibly high temperature for a small period of time. If we had reheated her already heated food, it would have come out either burnt or so overcooked it would be inedible. She’s just an idiot who doesn’t understand how this works.
And even if they COULD have reheated it, if the lady had then gotten sick from eating a reheated sandwich that had been sitting out for who knows how long (she said one hour, but do we just go around believing Karens now?), then the store could have potentially been held liable.
The issue with Starbucks is food safety. She could hold them legally liable for getting food poisoning because they aren't following food safety guidelines
Right. Like, she let a sandwich that likely has egg and cheese on it sit around for who knows how long. She can claim any amount of time she wants, but she's probably lying. Then if she got sick from letting the food go bad on her own, she'd just blame the Starbucks. Regardless of which specific Starbucks she blamed, it wouldn't be anyone's fault but her own.
And that's most likely what she planned to do. It's amazing how clever people can be when they're trying to get money!
That’s fine. I can use my overheated laptop to warm my food
not to mention the germs She'd be spreading... who knows if she spit in it or whatever... now Her karen cooties would be all over the nuker. *_GROSS!_*
and who knows... that schit might be contagious... the worker would be on the hook for infecting everybody Else with the karen virus! i think that could cause jail time, to be honest.
My question why couldn’t she reheat it herself?
for the second one, thats not even the reason, if the choosing beggar had of gotten sick from the food that had been sitting around, they could get shut down.
Had have.
@@bcaye good to know your THAT person.
Dude I almost spit out my drink when I saw Op's art in the last story. I would pay $50 in a heartbeat to get one of my characters with that insane level of detail!
Right!? That is incredible work!!
The reason the sandwich couldn't get reheated at Starbucks is for a couple reasons, all food safety reasons. 1. since the sandwich had gone cold, bacteria is already beginning to form. reheating can a time cause that to multiply. She would then eat it, get food poisoning and can go the starbucks. 2. could have placed foreign objects such as insects, plastics etc and once again sued the starbucks. Then there is the fact the sandwich was purchased at a different location which may well be franchised and 'owned' by a different person and therefore not the responsibility of the second store because they received no money from the woman

@@helenaborges4880 There is a masters in law, it's just not a common stopping point. If you're going to get a masters in law it's usually one step on the way towards a doctorate in law. If you aren't familiar with the field (which obviously rslash isn't) you might only ever hear about "Juris Doctorate" which is what most lawyers have, which is the step above "Juris Master" which is a masters degree. Juris Master is more common for either law enforcement or various business and management positions, you generally wouldn't stop there if you wanted to be a lawyer.
Like a masters in the medical field, a practicing doctor gets a doctorate, the masters degree below that is more common for lab techs, researchers and even some nurses, it's still in the medical field but you wouldn't be an MD.
@@helenaborges4880 depends on where you are and which system you’re in but there are several law masters you can get from the LLM to even an MA or MPhil.

@@Vincent_Beers The LLM degree is actually very popular in the US, and most practicing lawyers get it after completing law school. Law school in the US is really broad, and an LLM can help prepare lawyers for a technical field, like tax.

Okay, when I was dating I had 5 conditions for the guy I wanted to date.
1. Had to have a Car
2. Had to have a Job (preferably one that you can grow in AND that you enjoy doing)
3. Own/rent place of living or at least paying rent.
4. No drugs. (Bad experience) smoking, not a complete deal breaker.
5. Not an alcoholic (really bad experience) social or tasting is not a complete deal breaker.
Here is the catch though, I made sure I followed those conditions as well. I have a job, a car and, at the time,, my own apartment. I didn't smoke and I did enjoy the occasional mixed drink while at a bar with friends. Why is it fair to hold someone you want to spend your life and time with to those standards but not do the same for them?
I'm married now to a wonderful man based off those conditions. We are expecting our first child. I have asked to be a stay at home mom until the youngest is out of 5th grade (3-4 children if possible) BUT I am working with my husband to make sure this is going to be sustainable for both of us, not just throw all the working hours on him solely and if not completely possible then at least have a part time job while kids are at school or nana's to take pressure off him. It's a partnership not a dependence.
No judgement to people who don't want to do it this way or if you have things setup with your spouse this way. That is your decision.
That commission CB is exactly why all the artists I know charge upfront or after the sketch is confirmed - and exactly the reason I'm really nervous about opening my own commissions
Take screenshots of conversations
Take the money upfront, don't start a commission without being paid, have a TOS, confirm a deadline, never send the finished piece without payment, and if your gut feeling says not to work with a client then listen to it. Red flags fly for a reason. We all gather commission horror stories at one point but its no reason not to go for your dreams if you want to be a commission artist.
I say open up commissions, but be firm about advance payments and don't relent on the matter. If people don't wanna pay, they won't. If they don't wanna pay for the finished project, at least you have the advance as well as proof of a promise to pay, as long as you use chat or have audio recordings. Chat is usually easier. As Kruhee said, red flags fly for a reason.
I like the deposit-up-front system, as it keeps things fair for both parties involved. Sometimes an artist can be a little devious and overcharge or not do the art in a timely manner, sometimes the customer is looking for cheap/free art using these tactics.
Best rule is to always give both sides an incentive to follow through on their end of a deal. Deposit up front from the customer to put some stakes on the customer to be honest, and remaining balance paid in full to release the finished artwork so that the artist has to finish the art in order to make the full earnings from it.

On a side note, I just adore Starbuck’s sandwich with spinach, tomatoes, and cheese. Especially warmed up. I couldn’t imagine not devouring it immediately
For the sandwich: it’s more a hot sandwich that has cooled then being re-headed is going to be almost 💯 food poisoning leading to a lawsuit
Nowhere near 100%. It depends on what's on it. And a cpl hrs isn't long enough for a hot sandwich to cool enough to start building bacteria. I live in a small town & when I go to 1 city that's over an hr away, I sometimes grab a fast food burger to eat when I get home & don't even reheat it. Food poisoning concerns would be if op lied about any detail. Especially if (like Dabney said) op put something else on the sandwich that caused it.
Healthy policy is a big deal, and some people doesn't seem to care (until it got them). Some years ago, the restaurants, bakeries, bars, used to give the left overs to people who lived on the streets (they would only give food which was good, but even then it was a lot of food;some organization would even pick on the next day and server to people in need). Until someone got a awful food poison and decided to open a lawsuit. Because the judge couldn't actually said if it was the food (in the sense of the restaurant decided to put something in there), if it was because that person already had a poor healthy (because they lived on the streets), or if it was a case of "maybe they are allergic to something and didn't know?", the decision was that every restaurant, bakery or bar needed to stop giving the left overs, otherwise the could be shut down. It's horrible because they say they are legally obligated to throw in the trash food that is still good, and they know that people will still get the food anyway, but they are not going to disrespect the law (they can't even give to the employees) and get their business close. So yeah lady, they are not going to disrespect the law because of you.
Lol that’s not true at all, but if she does get sick, they don’t want to risk being shut down
A yes, I remember in business 101 when they told us that giving away product for free was the best way to succeed. You make a ton of money that way. And sarcasm.
Duude, with the last one the art is so good! $50 for something like that is such a bargain!
I have to say, the having your life put together at 56 comment is a little rude and demeaning. It's entirely possible that someone had their life together at 20 or 30, but then had multiple blows that mean their life has fallen apart by 56. It's also possible that someone never had a chance at getting their life together, such as having a disability or illness that means they can't do much if anything. There are multiple reasons someone may not have their life together enough at 56 to be able to afford an iPad.
With that being said, being rude about wanting an iPad for free is a whole other matter and that 56 year old needs to be shamed for *that*.

Is it just me, or did this food options in the wedding invitation seem to get worse the morse expensive the gift option? Isn't swordfish expensive? IDK lol
Just... linking what you get to eat based of how much money you spend on the wedding gift? Ethier the bride is planning the wedding herself or she has the worst wedding planner on the planet.
Wedding planners are generally leeches, but most are smart enough to know you can bleed a pig many times but can only skin it once.
It made worst that if you need a kosher or vegetarian option you have to fork out over a $1,000... like, [expletive], you actually expect me to pay you that much to eat the food my lifestyle or religion requires?
I willing to bet that chick had a large ceremony and a tiny reception.
The fastest swimmer on the planet with bloody rapier on its face. Yeah, several reasons why that's expensive.
Not as expensive as salmon or lobster. However I would be happy to give $100 and eat swordfish!
@@bcaye really?? I never bought swordfish before, and I know lobster is expensive but salmon is generally cheap as it's a very common fish, I guess it can be expensive depending on the cuts, idk. But it's almost impossible to find swordfish.
@@chaosreaver3597 oh yea, I don't mean to excuse that in my original comment, I was just using it as my point of reference for the meal choices.
Can confirm for the art one. Every artist has had at least two or even more encounters with some kid who refuses to pay the price THEY agreed on.
My own experience with this was when some kid dm’d me asking for a very detailed landscape piece of link from the legend of Zelda botw on a cliff looking at hyrule castle and when I mean detailed I mean this took me 3 DAYS to finish and the price came to be $100 dollars, luckily for me I asked to be paid then I would give him the work he refused and demanded that I give it to him for free giving me some bullshit excuse that I don’t even remember. I told him that if he wasn’t gonna pay me I was gonna delete the work and he said I didn’t have the balls to do it. I sent his a screen recording of me deleting it and I blocked him. Sadly it didn’t cross my mind to save it before I did delete it, THATS how mad I was. That’s why now when I do commissions I ask for 25% before just like op did in his post.
Me: finally a Choosing Beggars video I missed one
Minion: it's been only 9 videos
Me: SILENCE!!!
Rslash, your microwave explanation is exactly why the hotel I work at doesn't have microwaves in the rooms. We're in a college town and between the homeless, students, the student's parents, and every other rando, microwaves have been destroyed.
So we upped the incidentals charges and removed the microwaves entirely. There's a staff one that the housekeeping manager bought, but we're not allowed to microwave anything for guests, since, ya know, it's not even hotel property, it's the housekeeping manager's.
I would have paid 25-50 dollar extra for that artwork, it such good quality.
Like wtf, that kid deserves to go to the 9th circle of hell
“Yeah I guess that makes sense, after all it is Tossing Salad”
I unexpectedly burst out laughing, thank you 😂
That artwork at the end was super cool.
It's not even that the OP could have put something into the sammich.
It's the fact that food-borne bacteria has already been breeding in it for however long it's been in their possession and "reheating" it could spread it to the facilities.
But also, yes... she could have taken a steaming you know... in it...

I’m a dumpster fire, I’ve just given up on trying to stop said fire
3:17 my youngest brother legit married one of those dumpster fires. She honest to goodness gave him a list like that when he asked her out. He was in bootcamp at the time so of course didn't have a car, but went out and got one just to get her to date him......needless to say, she does nothing but sit on her ass all day complaining about how she has it harder than anyone else. Like no one else has kids (in school most the day) yet her house has all the flies and animal poop of house on 'Hoarders' without any of the clutter, just doesn't clean. Spends all his money to the point, that my parents have given them about 7 figures worth of support over less than a decade.
Truly a dumpster fire. 🔥
I really like Awiz art style, and I love the character. Shame that the begging beggar was being a cheapskate. And now the beggar can't claim it's his, because of the watermark.
At least he can still use it for the token of his DND character, Coolanor sans Edgelord.
In 'real life' I would point out that "Unemployed Mom" is a paradox.
Parenthood is the single most important and essential career for the human race, which needs multiple roles with virtually no training or qualifications.
Being a parent yourself now, you will realise that the work is hard but desperately rewarding, with twenty-four hour duty, no pay or retirement plan, and ranges from heartbreaking to hilarious.
In the case of your title, however, you describe individuals who would make absolutely dreadful parents, who are Mummy in name only, not description.
I wish there was another name for women who would rather paint their nails than change a nappy [and I've known some of those, unfortunately]
That last story... yeah, that was a life lesson I had to learn too. It sucks... but lesson learned.
So a kinda similar thing happened to me with the last story: someone asked me to crochet a custom stingray and they were quick to respond to my questions on customization. But once it came to the price they went silent for two weeks, then told me they were in the hospital during that time and were extremely vague with the reason why. I told them it was no problem and they could just pay whenever they could and again never got back to me. I made the listing public awhile later and the stingray sold pretty quickly after that :)

Omg I'm a starbucks employee and the one about starbucks made me think of these 2 girls who frequent my store. They ask for the most COMPLICATED FRAPPUCCINOS and they are usually IMPOSSIBLE to make because they will ask for things that can't physically happen. The tickets for the frappuccinos are usually too big for a trenta cup. They complain about how we made their drinks wrong every time and they always got free drinks. My manager is working on getting a trespassing order against them so they can no longer come into our store or order at our drive through without it being trespassing.
R/slash 24 seconds ago? Hell yeah!
"dumpster fire seeks full-time firefighter" I'm going to remember that XD amazing line
R Slash’s “tossing salad” joke is the reason why I’m living 😭😭
that edgy drawing at the end was really good and detailed, even the 50 dollars OP demanded is a great deal lmao
The average bachelors in engineering earns significantly more than the average masters degree.
Hell, from my workplace, I'm not convinced that brains are strictly necessary to get into engineering. I've had to work with process engineers that had no trace of critical thinking. And were making twice what I was, despite their inability to understand why evacuation routes can't be blocked with machinery.
I could have hit any one of them in the head with a brick, and probably make the brick stupid.
@@TheAttacker732 envy is a deadly sin, just enjoy what you have in life and don't worry about other people who are more intelligent and successful than you.
@@AlgorithmDG Given that what they were trying to do could have gotten my operators killed in an emergency, I have no patience for their lack of brainpower. Approximation of the first exchange as follows:
"We have operators here, how do they get out in a fire or an active shooter? This aisleway is too narrow to walk through under normal circumstances, let alone an emergency." (I distinctly remember being partially stuck as I said that, having tried to get through to better address the engineers.)
"Well, we don't have room to make this any wider and make it work the way we want it to."
"So, you change the intended outcome to allow enough room to evacuate?"
"No! Six Sigma doesn't allow for that. This is the only way we can do this!"
"Do you really think that this will work, or matter, after an operator dies needlessly? No."
"Well, Six Sigma doesn't mention anything about that, so it's not an issue. The issue is that there's too much wasted space in this layout."
(And round and round we went.)
I suppose, it was more the lack of brainpower paired with the flagrant disregard for our physical safety that got my blood boiling. And that we keep hiring engineers with both those characteristics.
CB: "Must have car, must have house, must have personal parking space at work, [laundry list of requirements]; because I don't date losers."
OP: [meets requirements]
CB: 🤩
OP: "What about you?"
CB: "You're supposed to provide for me! Why do I need a car or job or stuff?"
OP: "Because I don't date losers."
CB: 😦🤬😤
That girl is now basically the normal. My friend is still a single dude (just over 30years old) and 7 times out of 10 the girl is a single mother looking for a guy to provide for her and her kid and now refuses to date a girl who says she's a single mom because of this sense of entitlement.
When you said "one of my guilty pleasures is the bachelor and the bachelorette" for a split second I thought that was some kind of fantasy. Very relieved when I realized you meant the show.
I would love another r/letsnotmeet 😍
hell yea!
Years and years ago there was a "Bachelorette" style show called something like Brain or Brawn or something equally ridiculous. The premise was this gorgeous woman had 10 equally gorgeous men and 10 average (or below) looking but really smart men vying for her. It came down to one of each. She and her choice would get $500,000 and a two week vacation to some tropical destination.
She, chose the hot guy over the nerd, of course. That was when they, the men, were allowed to reveal their backgrounds. The guy she chose was an aspiring model in his late 20s and, like a lot of male models, was dumb as a brick (this was obvious through the show) and never made it past freshman year in college. He was also totally broke.
The nerd on the other hand had a master's in computer programming and engineering. He had just sold his first start up and was worth north of $500 million and was about to start a new business.
The follow up show (last episode) showed her and the hunk fighting all the time on the trip and "breaking up" halfway through. She tried to get the nerd to take her back but he informed her that he had more self respect than to be someone's second choice.
Shout out to the computer engineer for dropping that in the trash like the garbage she was
@@seanwhitman8353 that was my thought. But I married a nerd, so I'm biased.
"after all, it is tossing salad" :: eye roll at dad joke ::
I work in an embroidery shop and I’ve had a customer provide his own logo, his own hats, and his own files. We picked out colors together and everything. When the order was complete he was given a call and the first thing he said was “if I don’t like it I don’t have to pay for it right”
I swear people suck so bad. He did not get his hats back. He refused to pay so we held them hostage. He never came back even years later.
Rslash talking about relationships and stuff just really puts into perspective how lucky I am. He's attractive, he's kind, he supports me and I've basically won the boyfriend lottery with him!
Right there with you dudeslice
Happy for you!
That artwork is really good! He was only charging $50 US? Wow! I’ll pay for it, my nephew would LOVE that. I’d even pay for all post costs! The ‘I’ll only marry a doctor gals’ are the same one’s that later complain that their husbands never help with anything because they’re never home! Run Med students, Interns, Residents and Dr.s, RUN LIKE FORREST GUMP or THE WATER BOY! Knees up! 😂😂
I hope that everyone is having a good Sunday!
You too!
@@teamf1489, thanks mate! Just have fun.
We listed a desk on Facebook marketplace and I was like "it's an Ikea desk I've had for ten years. It's in good shape but I don't care about getting money so just list it free."
My husband put "bring me McDonald's and it's yours"
It was gone within the hour. It didn't fit in their car so I delivered it when I got off work, but at least they tried. Great interaction lol
Day 22 of binging rSlash videos and telling myself it’s gonna be okay
The other bit about Starbucks story, from a barista: the sandwich was from a different store AND more than an hour old. Due to covid and health rules, baristas aren't supposed to take back drinks/food that have been partially consumed and/or handled by bare hands. Even if the sandwich wasn't tampered with, just reheating it would involve deep cleaning all affected tongs, oven, etc to avoid food contamination problems. Plus 100% chance of food poisoning from warm food sitting around in a car. Blegh.
Was looking forward to todays vid
I worked for Starbucks for three years and no we weren’t allowed to reheat anyones food because it’s a health code violation. We’re not going to put a sandwich the customer touched and possibly bit into back into the oven. Starbucks takes its cleanliness very seriously. We had a super long cleaning list every day. Pretty much the whole job was cleaning and putting up with Karens.
YESSSS R SLASH
Only 50 dollars for that???? Dang! Honestly looks like it's worth double that.
No one has finished this vid yet XD
3:07 I had to hold back a scream, holy shit R, that really got me.

Remind me to go for doctoral then- I want to be an English professor and my partner wants to be a multi-field doctor at a popular clinic near the university I intend to teach at-
Dude I straight up wanna commission that dude. I feel so bad they got scammed.
