I spent many moons in the trenches of Starbeetus, and it's the same there. The abominations I served probably deserve their own inglorious post, but let's just say that baristas also play the "I bet I know what you're getting" game. You want a PSL with white mocha and extra whip? OF COURSE you do. If you had a new person that became a regular, you could literally watch them gain weight, then stop coming for a little while before they gave up on their diet and then come back. But the customers ordering unsweet tea and black coffee or americanos? You could count on them to show up sweaty after the gym every now and then, or on their way to the trails with their bike strapped to their SUV every saturday morning at 6 a.m. like clockwork.

Haha I'm glad I don't go there more often, otherwise I'm sure I'd get super-sized. Might try the americano though, I've had that at other places and it was pretty good. Any other healthy starbeetus drinks you'd recommend?

It's more rules of behavior than specific drinks. Most flavors come in syrup form, so you can ask for a pump or two in any drink. Give up on cream unless you want to come inside and do it yourself, because it just gets eyeballed. Some baristas' idea of "cream" is 1/3 of the cup full. You can always ask for something half sweet. Coconut milk is an option, but frankly I don't care for the way it tastes in coffee beverages...it's great in a hot chocolate though. The iced coffee tastes better with a shot of espresso in it.

This is both sad and hilarious.

I've had a fat barista from a different coffee shop be bitchy to me over my order once. I got a small, plain hot chocolate. No I don't want marshmallows....no really I don't want cream. So under her breath she said "interesting...." and rolled her eyes. I could tell she's sick of all the skinny bitches getting their reasonably sized drinks with no genetics.

You dont understand people of size. Dont hamburgers have protein ? DOCTORS SAID I NEED PROTEIN WITH MY WORKOUTS.
Doesnt coke have electrolytes ? DOCTORS SAID I NEED THEM TOO.
Health at every plate.

Hey man. If they were using coke, fatness would be the least of their concerns. 😜

There is literally nothing quite so terrifying as an angry whale whose scootypuff battery has died in the middle of the center aisle. Pray for whichever cart boy has to find them a new one.
Worst case scenario; the available scooter has been taken by a legitimately disabled skinny elderly man. If that happens, I wonder how the cart people handle the beached whale if they can't get a new one for it?

You tell them that and offer a regular cart to lean on or, if store has a bench, a place to wait until one opens up. Then drag dead cart back.
I've left carts unplugged because my old store had about no elderly and disabled shoppers (college town & store down the street was where the elderly shopped). Also I worked late shift, so no one was around to really chastise me about it. "oh ma'am sorry, none are working or charged. I can't leave my post, our manager is over there. No I'm sorry I don't have a radio. You'll have to walk or wait."

I haven't worked in grocery, but I worked on register at Whataburger. Every fatty that waddled in always ordered the triple-decker with cheese and a large fry/soda. I never once saw a fatty order a normal-sized meal. Not only would they order ENORMOUS portions, but they were the problem customers. They were the ones who would bitch and complain and moan about stupid shit that wasn't any of our control. And ON TOP of that they'd always leave their tables looking like a pig-sty. It was disgusting.
[–] la_fupacabra 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Yeah and whataburgers food is just packed with calories so that's probably 3x their recommended daily calories. I try and stay below 700-800 calories when I go
[–] Syphrosyne ago
I used order the Whataburger Jr. (no cheese) with small fries (no ketchup), and a water when I worked there and went on break. It's only 590 calories which given the fact that I burned at least 200 a day running, wasn't too bad.

I eat non organic, and lately (due to being out of a job, thanks G3), I've really cut back my expenses on food. I buy based on calories per dollar, so it's a lot of high calorie, low nutrient crap.
Even then, I've managed to not even gain weight but lose a few pounds thanks to portion control.
Suck it fatties.

I worked at a grocery store for several years. Want to make your job easier? Transfer to produce. Most people don't bother with fruits or veggies, and those who do usually get them from the frozen section.
If anyone asks you a question there's a 95% chance they're a mystery shopper.
[–] MrEvilPirate 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Can confirm. Worked produce for a couple years. Soooo much better than front end. Go in the back, chop some shit up. Stock fruits and veggies. No one bothers you. Plenty of eye bleach around as well just in case.

If they ask where the raspberries are, or why the strawberries are not fresh, its me.
Seriously, one of my local stores will sell strawberries after they start going bad. They last like 2 days, tops. And the raspberries; good luck, those overpriced bits of delicious ruby are worth all the pain I put myself through.
[–] SkinnyMcShitlord 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
Mmmmm, raspberries!! I'm fed by a tube to bypass my broken stomach and can't eat without vomiting but I fucking love raspberries and give zero fucks that I throw them up a few hours later (hell, I get to taste them twice! It's a bonus really.)
I got so sick of paying the ridiculous prices for a tiny punnet at the supermarket that I eventually made my husband plant 5 canes of our own. Best decision ever!!
(Although we quickly learned to keep super fine mesh over them to keep the fucking wasps and birds from destroying them!)
They're even more amazing when home-grown. I thought I loved them before but I'm basically an addict now we grow our own!
I make an amazing raspberry coulis and cream cheese frosted cake too, it's the perfect mix of rich, creamy, slightly sweet and tart. Especially when you drizzle extra coulis over each slice just before eating it *drools*.
My husband has been a type 1 diabetic since he was a little kid and can't stand anything super sweet, especially cakes. When I came up with the coulis cake for his birthday last year it was the first time I ever saw him go back for a second slice. I was pretty pleased with myself!!
It's truly heavenly though. Fresh, homemade raspberry coulis is to die for!!

I prefer blueberries, although they do have a strong effect,on the color of my poop. Seriously. If you want green poo, eat a few handfuls of fresh blueberries. If you want black poo, eat a lot of them. Might come in handy if you ever want to convince someone you have internal bleeding...
