Credit unions are badass. I need to go back to one. Always gave me good financing rates when I lived in FL.
yea, they gave her a much lower rate. she just made a mistake usually the calculator that told her payment was going to be more than she was willing to pay. so when this car dealership kept telling her that "we can get you this car with this payment" she jumped at it.
Went to the Starbucks in the Student Union and got a hot coffee with room. Get my cup and it was literally half empty. I know they are training the new hires right now but even if it's your first day how do you not figure that one out.
Never ask for "room". Just pour out whatever you don't want and replace it with cream/milk.
I've never had a problem asking for room, in fact I would complain that Starbucks employees haven't left enough room when I've asked. Dripping off scalding hot coffee in a rush, with a lot of people milling around, is a perilous endeavor.
I also do not envy Starbucks employees who have to take out the trash, I couldn't deal with that much day old coffee pooling at the bottom.

I agree with @bandeto. I work at a coffee shop and having to deal with trash cans full of coffee at the end of the day sucks. Just ask for a little room. Or, if you get too much/too little room ask the barista to fix it. If the barista isn't crap, (aka don't go to Starbucks) they'll clarify exactly how much room you need.
Oh and Starbuck's and DD both kind of suck. But DD get's the slight nod if you have to choose between the two.

Man up.
Dude, I had to do just this during the Billy Idol show this year.
The wife and I stopped for a pint of coffee at that place over by the fountain and what they poured us came out of the tap just short of 212 degrees. I had to carry this boiling hot stuff through the back of the PACKED R. Kelly crowd over to Amish Donuts, and then circle back around the beer tent to get to That. I was about as nervous as I've ever been, because I was basically carrying a pint of second-degree burns through a sea of jostling shoulders and elbows for a half-mile or whatever. It was thirty minutes before the stuff even got cool enough to drink. That coffee could've done some serious harm. I was, like, praising Jesus that I was still mostly coordinated and able to navigate at that point.

Dunkin doesn't pretend to be anything other than fast, cheap, convenient coffee. Starbucks tries to sell you Norah Jones CDs and a false sense of coffee snobbery. Dunkin for life.

Exactly. Plus DD brews fresh coffee every 30 minutes (at least they're supposed to), which is a big plus.
And Starbuck's kind of tastes like burnt crap anyway.
People who drink Dunkin' Donuts are drinking Hot Brown Water. The coffee has no flavor. It's gross.
And have you goons really not figured out that if you want "room" in your Starbucks, order a grande, then ask them to put it in a venti cup? About 75% of the time you basically get a venti with just enough room for milk, the rest of the time you actually get a grande, with more than enough room for milk PLUS space so it's not sloshing around near the top, risking spillage.
And Starbucks Clover machines are Heaven on Earth. I will fistfight anyone who disputes this.
You are insisting on effort. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I will not dispute the machines are boss.
I also always prefer random possibly shit coffee from a bodega. I'd rather get my dollar coffee that may be awesome or terrible.
I manage a high end panini/espresso bar, and some of our employees still bring their DD drinks in with them when they come to work. It boggles my mind, they can have our coffee FREE, and it doesn't taste like sludge. Maybe I'm a coffee snob, but there's worse things to be.
I refuse to go to a coffee shop where I can't say the word "Large" and get served a cup with coffee inside of it.
Agreed. The sizes at my coffee shop are short/grande/huge and I actually get a little peeved when people don't just say small/medium/large.
Also, I've never heard of this clover machine till now. It looks amazing, but making coffee with that and using Starbuck's beans is like "buying a bunch of really expensive grass-fed Argentinian strip steaks, season them with a crust made from rare Cambodian pepper and Fleur de Sel, then proceed to perfectly sear each side en route to glazing them with natural garlic butter and a perfect medium-rare finish, while opening a fine bottle of Chapoutier Bordeaux" and then proceeding to "grind the steak up in a food processors, make it into patties, batter dip it and deep fry it and serve it with ranch dressing, then pour the wine into a blender with a ton of ice and triple sec and make frozen sangria."
YESSSSS! The last time I had Starbucks: With Bunny last September because she was driving The last time I voluntarily chose Starbucks: In went sometimes in college to study and got some chai something to sip on
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Those are the worst. But its so refreshing when you find normal ones that give you free stuff and can chat about music.
I like to think I fall into this category. I love my job because I can go in and read a book and drink coffee for 8 hours a day while intermittently chatting with customers about whatever Pandora station is playing or whatever.
Larry Farnsworth - No mental energy to remember to do that if I am tired or overworked. Plus I don't even know what Venti means, and I've been in the place more than enough. I stare blankly at the sizes like an idiot, and will freely admit it. Why can't I just ask for small, medium or large?
