I am so happy to learn that I am not the only person who has ever given themselves a black eye. Mine was trying to dislodge Christmas tree lights from a branch.

I used to love the paper bags when I still lived in Wisconsin and had a wood burning furnace for heat. Now I love the reusable bags because you can fit so much in them. The only objection I’ve ever heard is that they can hold bacteria, but washing is a solution for that.

I really hate plastic bags for my groceries because you end up with too many bags because they can’t hold as much.

Having read about way too many managers who were like him about sexual harassment and never took their employees’ side against crappy customers I am just glad he wasn’t worse.

I can’t even imagine needing that much of any condiment.

I can’t believe how attached people are to plastic bags. I only ever get them when the bagger insists on putting meat into them, and I do use them as trash bags for the bathroom. If my area were to enact a ban I wouldn’t be upset I would just find another solution.

This was back in 2002 and Starbucks had figured out how much money they were losing from all the extra caramel everyone wanted so he was adamant about us charging extra. He was also quite good about backing us up when a customer was clearly in the wrong. The only problem was that he didn’t know the difference between…

She actually kept the bucket folded up in her purse? That just makes it worse.

I dip my fries in honey mustard usually, ranch only if it’s the non-bottled stuff, but I’ve never needed 8 ounces of either.

I do like a good house made ranch but gah 8 oz of the stuff is way overkill.

Yes they do. They really, really do want that much caramel. I can barely look at caramel now, and I haven’t worked at a Starbucks since 2003.

I have a special hatred for the caramel people because our store manager made us charge for extra caramel so I had to listen to these people whining about how it was unfair. Of course in the end they gave in and payed for the extra, and sadly none of them kept their promise of never coming back.

People who are that dedicated to getting free stuff intrigue me. I can’t imagine keeping a popcorn bucket and dragging it with me to the theater every time I went to see a movie.

I agree. I used to work with a woman, who happens to be four years older than me, who had to go out and buy a shirt that was appropriate to wear to a funeral. I’m not saying you have to have a closet full of high fashion wear, but by your mid-40s you should own at least one shirt that isn’t a graphic tee in case you…

I may have to look.

OMG the caramel people drove me insane.

Because in the U.S. way too many adults have forgotten how to adult, and way too many of those same people have bought into the whole “the customer is always right” bullshit.

Why can’t I ever find jobs like that? I could do that so well.

Oh that sounds so gross.

What the fuck were they thinking indeed?
