Well?

lol phish lol

Passbook enabled tickets. I don't want to hear any whining from idiots about minute details like being unable to handle traffic when you can't do simple things like paperless tickets.
-
If it were on Ticketmaster all the scalpers would have gotten tickets instead of you. Mission Tix was all messed up for Neutral milk Hotel at 2640 space and thankfully for me they were or I probably wouldn't have gotten tickets.

Kind of surprised about this over Phish tickets. I thought pot mellowed you out and gave you the munchies not made you all pissy and bitter.
-
You are assuming this is about Phish tix, just like I assume you are a fucking asshole piece of shit.

Wow, lots of love there for a guy who to my knowledge has never personally attacked you, whoever you are.

Yeah, this only seems like a problem for people who didn't get tickets.
-
Wasn't an attack, just a false assumption analogy...that's all.

There was no assumption, it was a logical deduction based on the 2nd post in the thread. So if it was not about Phish I take it that it was about a band with real talent...

I didn't see anything that needed defending nor anything that was.

Now that this is all wrapped up, can we move on to complaining about the line at Starbucks? I mean, come on! 5 people ahead of me?!? What the hell were they thinking?

I just wonder why it is so hard these days to find just a plain old cup of coffee. You know, one with no espresso, frappe, twist, sprinkles, flavoring, or whatnot. Sad to think that one of the few places left where you can actually order and get coffee is waffle house! :)
-
I'm not a coffee drinker, but why wouldn't you just make it yourself?

I don't drink coffee but I've thought that a fun experiment might be to go to a Starbucks or similar establish and simply (and obstinately) say "I'd like a cup of coffee, please." Politely respond to any of their questions about what kind and size with the same request, over and over again until served "a cup of coffee". See what you get.
-
I go to Starbucks almost daily and ask for a "medium coffee". I've never had any issues.
-

you're right. if you're looking to drink a solid cup of coffee, a solid burr grinder, an aeropress, and a decently fresh bag of beans will go a long way. unless you're looking for espresso-based drinks, there is no need to pay the premium at a coffee shop. drip coffee is drip coffee, no matter who makes it.

i was waiting in line at my local grocery store today and the woman with the three young children who looked disheveled and on edge was kind enough to apologize for the fact that she was using coupons and her kids were being crazy and she had to pay with half credit and part cash and it was taking her a long time and she thought i was getting upset and i smiled and helped her with her groceries and i told her that i was not a person who complains about having to wait and that i was jealous that she was saving so much money with her coupons and she was astonished that people could be so nice to each other and it made my day, that there interaction we had at that moment in time.

I guess they accommodate the old-schoolers. Of course, it used to be one size. How much for a medium "coffee"?

The sizes at StarSmucks is one of the things I laugh at the most, that and that silly name that they call their coffee pourers in an attempt to make them feel like they better than the counter help at any other place.

@ 1:32... wow. it's like a prophecy.

DC has plenty of coffee shops that don't make you go through the bullshit Starbucks makes you go through. The coffee there is better, too.
Same with Richmond I'm sure, Ratbastard.

dont you know that we live in a society where people believe the theory that the more you spend on an item and the more complicated said item is to understand and grasp, the better it is?

Go on...!!
-
name one no name brand item that is actually better than the big name brand version of it? i can only think of one off the top of my head. walmart brand cookies. i go to walmart just for these things, and to stare at people. walmart has mastered the art of ripping off company products and making their own versions of them for food stamp prices. they basically have every girl scout cookie, now, for about a dollar twenty five. they have those chocolate marshmallow pinwheel cookies, where nabiscos version cost four dollars and fifty cents, for about one dollar fifty cents. walmart destroys others because of things like this. cookies are my weakness.
-
Every generic OTC drug.
Well equal, not better.
-
or generic under the counter drugs as well. i take a medication for a seizure disorder i have had for over fifteen years. that medication is great, but costs four hundred dollars a month. i switched to the generic version of it a few years ago, which i discovered is the exact same ingredients without the fancy name, and works exactly the same, for roughly fifty dollars a month. i know people who down right refuse to take the generic version because they feel it is not the same. hence, my original theory.
-
ahh . . . i have another example of no name brand better than full strength brand. the brand name of julian, is not as good as the no name brand, that is brian. brian works better and faster, than julian.
-

/googles decipher
... oh. fixed.
-

Actually that isn't true. In Baltimore they used have a testing center where they paid you to volunteer to test the generics against the name brands so the generics could get approved. But they were actually testing the name brand against the name brand. I don't take prescription medicine so I really don't care that much but don't think generic medicines are as good as the original.

I never understood the love of Starbucks. Awful Coffee at high prices. And the worse thing is when I go to real coffee shop and order a Machiato they tell me they only make it the tradtiional way. And of course that is what I want. But it is annoying to have to hear it at every real coffee shop.
I never understood why people like chain restaurants and stores so much.

peanut butter cups. the trader joes and kirkland ones are delicious. reese are also delicious, but i like trader joes version better.

i ordered a machiatto for the first time yesterday at starbucks just yesterday and couldn't figure out what the fuck it was when i received it. it was clearly a sugared up latte and it was terrible.

Actually I am not that much of a coffee drinker. Only at breakfast on the few occasions I eat breakfast away form home. Go figure, its usually at a waffle house!

I don't drink coffee, but when I pick up a cup for my roommate, I use an app to order ahead and it's waiting for for when I get there. If I have the dog with me, they even bring it out to me.
You guys are doing it wrong.

This is apparently the closest we're going to get in this thread to discussing my urgent plea that 9:30 STOP THE INSANITY and get Passbook/scanable tickets as an option like every other venue on earth. Ticket stubs are environmentally irresponsible, and if I can't make some lower-class bouncer take notice of me having the latest in cell phone technology, then I don't even know what is the point of going to concerts in the first place.

yeah, how dare them, trying to provide a name for their occupation.
If you think that has anything to do with OTHER than marketing (making the customers feel like their $14 cup of coffee is worth the price) you are more delusional that anyone here ever thought. They are clerks.
-
Wow. Much exaggeration.
Please show me where i can get a cup of coffee that costs $14? I don't remember seeing any drink on the Starbucks menu even CLOSE to that.

there are other coffee shops that exist beyond starbucks, and wouldn't you know, the people who serve coffee at those shops are called baristas too.
if someone was looking to serve coffee for a living, would you recommend that they search classifieds for a position as a 'clerk' or a 'barista' ?
and mentioning a $14 cup of coffee in the very same post you allude i'm delusional.... oh the irony.

A Machiatto is an espresso with a spot of steamed milk. It doesn't come with sugar. Latte is a bunch of steamed milk with a shot of espresso.

i picked up the right drink... starbucks just doesn't do traditional machiattos, and i didn't know that. what they call a machiatto is essentially a sweeter latte.
