It’s actually really good coffee, bold without being way over roasted.

True. I worked at a Starbucks and some of the orders people came up with just blew my mind, but I try to not make life any more complicated than it needs to be. Not sure if I’m boring or just lazy.

I can’t blame people at independent coffee shops for asking those questions because as sure as you serve someone a macchiato without asking those questions they’ll have meant the one like at Starbucks so I don’t mind the questioning even though I never mean the one like at Starbucks. I’d rather you ask than have to…

I know it’s awful. I still remember our manger finding another crate of eggnog in the walk in and having a serious discussion with the shift lead about the possibility of puncturing every single container. Our manager insisted they stay on the menu until we ran out of eggnog.

The worst part was the looks he was giving me, like I was stupid for not know what “brown square thing” meant. He actually started saying it more slowly like that would help me realize what it meant, even as I’m showing him all the possible things it could refer to. I laughed so hard I actually stopped breathing after…

Midday frappucinos didn’t bother me so much; it was when a car rolled up to the drive through during the morning rush and everyone in that car wanted a damn frap. Our store at least had a small cooler up front where we kept the mix for them so no having to go to the walk in.

Thanks a lot now I want a cafe au lait, and all we have at work is crappy Keurig coffee, and no I have no idea why they call it a Caffe Misto. Cafe au lait actually makes sense because that’s exactly what it is.

How did he even come up with that abomination of an order? I just don’t understand people who make things that complicated. I can only imagine how satisfying that moment had to be for you.

It’s interesting that this whole carb/gluten fear thing has taken such root that what was once a funny story without any context now has to have a ton of exposition, but even with all of the “does this come with bread” crap I still can’t imagine trying to eat a roast beef and cheez sauce sandwich without a bun. It…

I had a friend whose son wouldn’t eat their horseradish sauce because they call it horsey sauce, and he thought it had actual horse in it. Kids can be so damn adorable.

I remember when I first moved to Wisconsin from Georgia how shocked I was that I could buy whiskey in the Pick n Save and on Sunday no less. I moved back to Georgia shortly before the vote for Sunday sales, and you can bet your ass I was at the polling place to cast my vote for allowing adults to buy what they want…

I remember several of my coworkers referring to them as the Devil’s ice cream. I still can bring myself to order one, and I haven’t worked at Starbucks in over 12 years.

Bread has always and will always be my downfall. I can live without rice and pasta, but a life without bread is a life wasted.

What a pain in the ass. At least none of the ones I had to make had shit in the bottom in addition to shit on top of them.

These were definitely not Atkins/low carb fanatics as evidenced by none of them ever complaining when the sandwich was served on a bun. In fact the only one who ever complained was the one who was served a bunless pile of shaved meat and hot Cheez Whiz. I still can’t imagine how much of a mess that was when he opened…

I know when Atkins first appeared on the scene because my mother has tried every diet that has ever been a thing, but I know these weren’t Atkins types because they were just silly boys who thought they were being clever.

I’ve been drunk at a Denny’s at 3 am; that was a pretty shitty experience so I shudder to think of anything shittier. You have my sympathies.

This was the 80s before the whole carb/gluten fear thing had even begun. I can see a burger without a bun, but a sliced roast beef and cheddar cheese sauce sandwich would be way too messy without the bun. I never said I understood why the guys who did it thought it was even funny because it’s really not, but neither…

I really hated the ones that also had a bunch of crap on top of them like whipped cream or sauces. I remember one that had whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and toasted coconut so that added more time to making them.

You’re confused that a sandwich should be served on bread? We’re talking about an Arby’s roast beef sandwich with cheddar cheese sauce so it’s supposed to come on a bun. Stupid guys thought it was funny to order one with extra cheese sauce and no bun. After hearing that order multiple times per shift on every shift I…
