Good on you, Mom! I left Starbucks before I went back to college, but it’s a good place for young people to work. (Locations vary, of course.)

Yes. A huge number of people order “Venti black coffee with room”, so it’s better just to ask if you don’t specify. Also, yes, I judged those people just as you did because black means black, dammit! OTOH, since most Starbucks regulars know to order “drip” rather than “black coffee” I figured they were new in town.

Trenta is a 31-ounce iced drink. (Trenta means “thirty” in Italian.) You can’t get Frappuccinos or iced espresso drinks in the trenta size, although you can add espresso shots to a trenta drink. When I have to really get writing done, my fuel is a trenta cold brew with 5 extra shots, which I nurse for hours while

I used to have a morning regular who always came in yapping on his phone, and when it was time to pay, he’d just hold out a handful of cash and change and we were expected to carefully pick out the proper amount. He came in one day during my last week (I had given notice) and pulled that shit. I took everything out of

Tall, Grande, Venti, they all mean the same fucking thing!!

I used to have a regular who had a pretty insane order: 5 raw sugars in the cup, pull one shot over them, stir. Then fill the cup with heavy cream, leaving enough room for 4 more shots. No, you couldn’t pull the shots and then top the cup with the cream, that didn’t taste right. At some point, he decided I was the

Good. One less body in line in front of me.

“Small,” “medium,” and “large” are easily translatable to any three-size menu item anywhere.

You’re guessing wrong, but feel free to continue.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. We might not need them in the winter, but they would be a wonderful thing in summer here.

Why, what an insightful question! No, that’s not all I do.

Some of our partners don’t have penises, dude.

The problems I can see with using the Lysol Sanitizer are that you’re not supposed to use it at the same time as your laundry detergent, and it requires a minimum of a 16-minute soak to be effective. Not a problem for me because I wash at home, but those could be deal-breakers for someone who is reliant on a

Sensitivity training at Kroger boils down to, “Be an asshole/bigot on your own time. Don’t do that shit at work.” You can’t mandate how your employees think but you can do your best to control their behavior when they’re on the clock. Obvious racists like this manager learn to keep it in check unless they think they

That was the grand jury that was set to expire and then renewed for 6 more months. (After that a new GJ must be empaneled, so not sure if Mueller thinks it will be done by then or not.) Mueller’s office is funded through this fiscal year, so they’re good for a long time. Or, as The Hill reported,

Pence can’t pardon him for state crimes, only federal. While the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has gotten a lot to work with lately, the New York State and City DA’s offices are probably pretty well stocked, too.

And I don’t get that excited by the bad suggestions of a questionable food blog.

Yes. The listing on Amazon says, “Smart WIFI Strip that Compatible with Alexa and Google Home Assistant”.

We have one in our bedroom due to living in an old rental house with very few, and badly placed, plugs. It not only has our lights plugged into it, but also other small electronics, such as the “buttwarmer” (a small heated throw that our older cat has claimed for her own) and a heated blanket. They would be a PITA to

What? No gin?! Hooray!
