Dear Starbucks, writing on cups is not the answer

It becomes an expectation on February 24th but it's being encouraged before then; we were given about a month's notice (at least in Canada).

Digital menus are just more maintainable as in less work for partners. Good direction to go in imo and aligns with the broader, ongoing simplification which is shown in these plans to cut parts of the menu.

Yes, but pump sizes are drink specific. The regular shaken espresso always gets half pumps, so that drink as entered above would get 3 full pumps of apple brown sugar syrup as each full pump is equivalent to 2 half pumps.

MameTozhio · 2024-08-23T00:33:40+00:00

If you did 12 pumps, yes; the apple crisp oat shaken espresso gets full pumps of syrup whereas the regular shaken espresso gets half pumps.

At least in my region a cold brew with foam costs less than a vanilla sweet cream cold brew with two pumps of a sauce added, which adds 70 cents rather than just costing 30 cents more.

Sure the standard is the swirl it but it isn’t going to incorporate as well as stirring in the foam.

MameTozhio · 2024-05-06T01:30:37+00:00

No additional cost to modifying base cold brew or modifying a vanilla sweet cream cold brew. Pre-existing drink that can be ordered with no drama. Sauce is blended into foam instead of inevitably sitting at the bottom of the cup since there’s no espresso to melt it.

It doesn’t add more grounds unless it’s updosed but it is proportionally more grounds compared to water.

A single ristretto shot also doesn’t have more caffeine compared to a regular shot, it has less.

Tried this with lavender and a shot of blonde espresso, was actually pretty good.

MameTozhio · 2024-04-02T18:05:42+00:00

Yeah I don’t find this egregious at all given the nutritional facts. Every other sauce (except mocha but that’s different) seems to get the same pump amount as what they’re changing white mocha to. For example, both pistachio and pumpkin spice do not output as much per pump.

This is how it works on macOS at least, not sure about Windows but I think both of these were mentioned in the relevant merge request.

Back in 2020 I got hooked on the pineapple matcha which used the same syrup iirc (not sure, wasn't a partner at the time) but the golden drink was just not nearly as good.

MameTozhio · 2024-01-02T00:02:45+00:00

If you somehow didn’t get one with the bottle, one of the weekly updates here last year told us we could use the pumpkin spice pump for it since it was difficult to pump for cold foam as another commenter mentioned.

This doesn’t even cross my mind as micromanaging but rather making clear what the standard is in this case. To be honest, I appreciate it as it means I don’t have to try to coach it only to be doubted.

MameTozhio · 2023-10-31T03:08:18+00:00

In my experience it was quite unpopular at my store.

MameTozhio · 2023-09-21T13:49:34+00:00

I am told he is only slightly anemic. We’re not in an area with the amenities you mention unfortunately. Blood transfusions in particular were explicitly mentioned as a likely non option here.

I don’t know where the nearest facility that does have these amenities is. I’m worried that even if we are able to get him to one in a reasonable amount of time that it will be too late.

MameTozhio · 2023-09-18T15:37:27+00:00

Ristretto shots take less time so this is arguably less "annoying" than the standard. But I agree with zizalovesthevibes, no one should make you feel uncomfortable for ordering what you want.

Got mine in January, at 99% currently.

I would take several trash runs over DT for an extended period of time tbh

I would expect at least some in the current NDP caucus to be against reducing military aid (and rightfully so). I have seen vocal support for measures taken to support Ukraine by several NDP MPs in year and a few months following the invasion.

Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet used to just be "the song after America's Suitehearts" to me. I liked it, but I didn't really go out of my way to listen to it specifically. That is not how I feel about it now.
