Hah. I try to be nice to my baristas. It's frustrating to oder sometimes, because I swear, Starbucks-speak actually does differ by city. An order that gets me nods of understanding and a perfect drink in Brooklyn and New Jersey will be met with confusion in Philadelphia, for example.
And then they changed my frappucino! It used to be "Grande extra coffee caramel, light, no whip, extra shot." They changed it to the caramel light frappucino and I still can't figure out how to order the damn thing anymore. At least not in Austin.
Luckily, it's cold out now, and "Venti gingerbread latte, nonfat no whip" seems to be universal.
And I always tip.
I totally posted about my titties this week, too, lol! I'm sure you get tired of hearing it, but you can totally pass some of that extra tit to me!
As a barista it shouldn't vary that much. Keyword, shouldn't. I've had people fuck my drinks up and I'm a barista. I don't rage at the employee, but it makes me sad that my company can't get it's shit together
( ... )
Derp. That "light" should have read "nonfat." My fault!
Well the frappucinos used to be one set recipe on the board, not it's another. I am for: caramel frappucino, however much coffee used to be in the old recipe (I know, that's one hell of a variable), an extra shot of espresso, nonfat no whip.
And hey, I'm constantly counseling people on how not to be assholes to strippers, so I get it. Sometimes, I'd like to go a day without dispelling the myth that I should go work in Vegas or Miami, or the myth that stripper = whore, etc... but I've pretty much appointed myself a sex-work activist, so that this point I'd still have signed up for a lifetime of customer questions if I quit dancing tomorrow. :D
Wow, your baristas suck. I know exactly what you're asking. It sounds like you don't like the light syrup and they should have a regular frappuccino base. So it should be a solo, nonfat, no whip, REGULAR BASE frappuccino.
And I can't believe people still think strippers are whores. I just, I don't even. Seriously. The only question I've never really gotten an answer to was the shoes. I can seriously barely walk in heels much less dance. It doesn't help I have alien feet. The last time I asked a former dancer she said the red lights are awesome, and that's great, but a red light will not save you from landing on your face because you're clumsy in flats. Seriously. Now I miss going to strip clubs. Good dancers are good yo'.
I'm going to sound like an asshole and feel free to school me on how much of an asshole I am but I actually am not a huge "hot" stripper fan. I mean, a nice looking girl is nice looking, yay, but please lady. Dance. Do something. JUSTIFY MY GIVING YOU MONEY. Otherwise, why am I here? I can go outside, find a pretty lady, and hand her a dollar for being a lady. This isn't an amuse me thing, I'm just saying. I have literally watched a stripper get on a stage and walk back and forth. No, I did not have to give her money, but I wanted to and she wasn't making it worth it. Is that a dick thing to say? Maybe. But. Psh
( ... )
Hahaha, see as far we we're concerned, customers are there to go to VIP with. Unless you're at Magic City or one of the other "black" clubs, stage money is negligible no matter how much the dancers perform
( ... )
Boobs.... Wow, I got nothin. No pun intended. Other than the "Who's The Boss" style annoyance of having to find an acceptable training bra when I wanted nothing to do with anything feminine, my experience of having boobs has been fairly positive.
Yeah, I sadly have every symptom of the large chested lady. Grooves in my shoulders from ill fitting bras? Check. Bad back? Check. Deep grooves in my ribs from where my band cuts in because it's trying desperately to hold up my breasts? Check. Have a hard time finding a decent bra for under $80? Check. Zero nipple sensitivity? Check. Get told/asked constantly why having a large chest is such a big deal/shouldn't I be grateful? Check. Get objectified by the size of my chest? Check
( ... )
Eventually. Mostly when I'm done with kids and I don't know when that is yet which blows. After having these two I'd love to have an army (eeee kids are so rad), but, I want these things gone and a reduction can, but it doesn't always, BUT CAN fubar the whole thing.
Meaning a reduction before I'm done with kids can have a negative impact on my milk ducts making breast feeding impossible, or with all the body changes I have heard of a reduction basically not lasting because the breasts basically bounced back due to the baby weight/milk production.
I imagine that bouncing back would be a risk. That said, I'd be surprised to learn that breast reduction messes with the milk, at least if you go with a quality doctor. At least, I know that augmentation doesn't have to.
I've heard it's a risk, and I'm not willing to make that risk yet. Which I know is stupid. It's not like people knowing the situation would judge me for making a "selfish" choice, but I just think breastfeeding is that important and if I've waited this long, why not keep waiting. Plus I get to play the insurance game of, "Cover this."
"It's cosmetic."
"Okay, then cover my back pain and the other bullshit."
And then they changed my frappucino! It used to be "Grande extra coffee caramel, light, no whip, extra shot." They changed it to the caramel light frappucino and I still can't figure out how to order the damn thing anymore. At least not in Austin.
