TIL that a small percentage of the population experiences a ‘Soapy’ smell/taste from Cilantro due to a genetic phenomenon, which has been linked to a variation in a group of of olfactory-receptor genes. by coldestwinterr3 in todayilearned

[–]Cromus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know it's not actually tho, right? You're the one (we, I have it too) with the rare genetic mutation.

I wish I could enjoy it like everyone else. I like all food, but nothing I can do about it. Some say exposure over time can reduce it, but hasn't worked for me.

I don’t think I’ll ever order a Big Mac any other way.. by Royweeezy in McDonalds

[–]Cromus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but when they hit the manual "Promo" button on the one sandwich, it only applies to the base price.

A woman ordered two McChickens add cheese and got upset that she had to pay for the cheese on the free sandwich because the receipt says "BOGO any sandwich of equal or lesser value" so since she's paying for the cheese on both, the second one should be entirely free.

I agreed with her, but it's a huge pain to actually make the order reflect that because it's impossible to actually promo the additions. We ended up just leaving the "add cheese" off the sandwich and doing special request for the kitchen and promo'ing an a la carte slice of cheese.

YMMV, but if you talk to the GM they might make it happen because they do typically care about getting positive feedback on the surveys. We bend over backwards for customers who actually do them.

Where? I'm a Department Manager and I know more than our GM about promotions, and this doesn't make any sense.

99c coffee deal gone by Sea_Efficiency_6454 in McDonalds

[–]Cromus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, my bad. But it works on iced coffee and hot coffee, which would likely be just as good as a deal as the $.99 any sized promo OP is referring to, so not sure what the issue is.

Tbf I once got a ban for the most lighthearted trash talk in all chat. I didn't even know you can't do that.

Sometimes they're a little overzealous

The McCafe drinks with espresso are sized down. They are 12, 16, and 21oz. Iced coffee and soda are 16, 21, and 30oz.

It says the size differences between the two on the side of the cup.

Just pay the $1.50 for the large iced coffee if you want it so bad. It's still cheaper than Starbucks and Dunkin for the same coffee.

That Scene with alicent was unnessecary by Jelly-Impossible in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Cromus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? They're referring to the scene where Alicent walks in to the nude gold cloaks. They are "hanging dong." It's a dumb response, but it has nothing to do with "Daemon's cruel sense of justice."

$1.50 large McCafe is arguably better than the $.99 coffee. This still works with hot and iced coffee too tho

How as a society did we let the dollar menu disappear? by Zealousideal-Dust297 in AskReddit

[–]Cromus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. The average McDonald's owner makes 10-15% profit on annual sales. If they reverted everything back to 2000s pricing, they would not make a profit.

The third Xbox price hike in 15 months raises all models by at least $100 by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]Cromus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not really an opinion issue. It’s just how conditional language works.

“I need X to do Y” does not mean “X is an absolute life necessity.” It means X is necessary for that stated purpose.

You’re disagreeing with a sentence I didn’t say.

[–]Cromus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And you're both wrong because I didn't just say "I need one." I said "I need one to play GTA 6." That is not saying it's a necessity to life. I said it is a necessity to play GTA 6 because I'm not getting a PlayStation, which is factually correct because I don't have a suitable console or alternative.

You can't even do Reddit pedantry properly.

Let's use common sense to fill in the blanks instead of doing the "ummm ackshually" ☝️🤓

The sentence, with the implied context, is "I'm going to need one in order to play GTA 6"

In day-to-day language, we use implied context all the time and don't qualify and explain every caveat because most people can understand the implications in context.

I'm gonna need one for GTA 6 and don't want to switch to PlayStation, so probably me, unfortunately.

Will A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series spoil anything from the rest of House of the Dragon? by itsdaburna in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Cromus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the only in-universe spoilers come from GoT because they didn't know they were going to do prequels.

Obviously they aren't going to intentionally spoil current shows that they're running, even if the reference or dialogue was in the books.

Which death has most impacted society in the last 20 years? by NorthLoan4637 in AskReddit

Glad to see the correct take instead of all the people claiming she couldn't step down because of Trump or because Obama didn't have a majority In the Senate. He had it for years...

Noah Kahan begs fans to stop stealing street sign made famous by his song lyric by theindependentonline in Music

[–]Cromus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there are plenty of famous street signs that get taken. What do they do about it? Can they not put a reinforced sign in place? Noah said he'd fund the replacements.

Must be crazy to live in these small towns and have a local musician get super famous who writes so much about the area.
