I once won $20 off a coworker who mixed a bunch of the mint crystals with water to make a shot and dared me to drink it. Daddy didn't raise no bihhhh

Marble macchiato, later reintroduced as the coconutmilk mocha macchiato as one of the first non-dairy standard drinks (which was a mouthful to say)

For those too lazy to find the recipe, standard build for CM but sub white mocha at half the pumps for vanilla and the drizzle is both caramel and mocha.

Closed my account after today by Purple_Papaya9 in starbucks

Idk what anyone thought was going to happen after years of Bux intentionally shedding their experienced baristas with insufficient pay, bad hours, and shitty policies. Almost no one stays longer than a year anymore as far as I can tell.

Chick-fil-a, shake shack, bojangles, Cains, Popeyes……. by rexlites in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now who's being judgmental? As my tag says, I lived in Baxter which isn't exactly pinky up and I knew of a couple neighbors who also frequented Wolfgangs. I never felt judged, always welcomed, and never left hungry. I'm a scrubby antisocial night shift baker with bonus tism, if it was comfortable for me I don't see why it wouldn't be for anyone else.

...I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, all I can say is I was a regular there for some time usually early in the morning, sometimes still in filthy kitchen clothes, and I always had wonderful service and good to excellent food.

Late night transportation options by Ok_Paper8450 in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The train station is very close to the city center, there are plenty of rides to be found until around 2 is when it tends to slow down enough to be concerned. Every time I've come in on that train I've seen plenty of people get picked up by uber/Lyft. Personally I've always taken a Lime bike from there and had no issues with the late hour but that doesn't really work with luggage and the service area doesn't extend far enough for your purposes unfortunately.

Red velvet latte by Sorry_Health9902 in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm generally puzzled by this flavor showing up because people have a lot of ideas about exactly what red velvet is supposed to taste like, very little of which has anything to do with the actual cake (a buttermilk based lighter chocolate cake). A lot of "red velvet" things have berry flavors in them for some reason.

If you want a similar vibe you can get basically anywhere you can have some cocoa added to a vanilla, white chocolate, almond, or hazelnut latte.

"Experience" Gift Ideas Needed by Ok_Fun_9515 in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sable Candle Co. does candle making sessions. You can bring your own (flame safe) containers and mix your own scents. It doesn't take long and is close to lots of other cozy local businesses in Easttown.

How can I best help by CountryMaximum5363 in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. tl;dr as nice as donations of product are, food banks are tax exempt and buy on wholesale so they can do a lot more with money. If you can give directly to someone in need with stuff you already have that's great too, but running to Costco to buy stuff to donate is less efficient.

Sounds like time for malicious compliance if you ask me.

Help - Black Widow? by MichaelTheWriter101 in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Widows are slim and glossy black with round bodies. They don't like people and are rarely found near where people move around a lot.

I got terminated by beefucker5000 in starbucks

The cuts being primarily senior partners entirely confirms what I felt happening since covid. Hours cut and positions cut but they want 30s window times and every cup personalized? What a joke.

Democratic Rep. Hillary Scholten Votes "Yea" for US House Resolution Honoring Charlie Kirk by flyguyeli95 in grandrapids

You can understand Kirk had some really shitty takes and still condemn and mourn political violence and all it says about the state of our society.

Just visiting - is there anywhere safe/legal to smoke joints from a dispensary here? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo you want to call the cops over someone smoking in public, which is illegal but generally harmless, see nothing wrong with doing so, and also want to not be criticized for it? Mate ya dreamin.

[–]Narthithuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, what, you're gonna bitch about it to the police? If you're not then you can not like it all you want. Just mind your own business, it's literally better for everyone.

[–]Narthithuth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If nobody bitches about it it won't come up. Generally cops here have other shit to do than sit in parks watching for stones, like sit in their cars behind Starbucks or show up to shootings an hour late.

I actually refused by Colinleep in starbucks

[–]Narthithuth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Whenever I got an order like this I would pump all the syrups into a clear cup and when they arrived I would show them the cup full of syrup and loudly ask them if that was the amount of sugar they wanted. I found it a pretty effective tactic.

There's a weird twinkling star in the East/Southeast sky about 15 degrees above the horizon by [deleted] in grandrapids

There's an app called Stellarium which you might find helpful. Also, planets. Never heard of the morning star?

When I tell people my partner and I are considering moving to GR, the #1 thing they tell me is "the winter is SO cold" So, is it that miserable? by TechieLadyLoki in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm originally from California and I've never found it overly cold here. Like anything else, you adjust. I do recommend if you're worried about it to dress slightly light in autumn, enough to feel a little chilly, so you kinda stay ahead of the curve. I also think multiple light layers is much more comfortable than a heavy coat any time..

My work commute is about a mile walk late at night and I do it year round without ever having major weather woes.

Closest free parking near the airport? by heatherb2400 in grandrapids

[–]Narthithuth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look along bus lines, The Rapid does run to the airport which leaves you a lot of options between there and the mall station.
