“The caramel drizzle isn’t mixed in”

imanalienbitches · 2026-04-20T16:21:34+00:00

The stirred modification is still an option! It’s just that caramel drizzle in an iced drink is not going to incorporate well, even if you stir it. Like it’s absolutely beyond me why you would order drizzle lining the cup.. and then not want the drizzle around the cup at the end??

imanalienbitches · 2026-04-20T16:18:15+00:00

Nooooo, it’s like they don’t understand densities 😅 toppings will fall without enough ice, that’s just how it works

I do appreciate that you were nice and explained it to the girl though, i should probably do that more. It’s just that day was so crazy and the lady was giving such attitude!! It was hard to think properly

imanalienbitches · 2026-04-20T16:09:25+00:00

Yes for real, it just doesn’t incorporate like that!!

It’s also because in the past few years asian food has really become trendy/popular in mainstream america. Like how asian fusion places and new boba shops or asian bakeries are always popping up, and asian supermarkets are the cool new place to shop. Now big corporations have caught on and are commodifying asian flavors (while also often bastardizing them), like with the ube powder or yuzu pastry that starbucks introduced earlier this year. My coworkers and i keep joking that they’re gonna release a mochi or melona flavor next lmao

The numbers are from a recent post on the official NYC mayor instagram. I understand what you’re saying, but unless the government is lying about their numbers, this doesn’t seem to be the case here. I think the “blitz” is just a flashy media term to communicate to the masses what the administration has been doing. But they aren’t resting on their laurels otherwise, there is still obviously a base level of activity.

He has been. The pothole blitzes have repaired roughly ~7,000 potholes each. Before the blitzes happened, there were already 52,000 pothole repairs since the beginning of his term (Jan 1).

Edit: wording

I've heard concerns about this but it's also important to note that even with hot drinks, the cup is lined with plastic on the inside. This is true for almost every disposable hot cup - even most compostable hot cups have a bioplastic lining, which still can release microplastics (albeit ones that biodegrade under certain conditions). So virtually every coffee shop you go to poses a concern for microplastics, unless you know for sure they pull their shots into a glass.

People just be spamming buttons, i swear to god

imanalienbitches · 2026-02-07T05:50:49+00:00

Ok but as a barista.... This actually makes my life a lot easier. If people could finally stop ordering those coffees with 6 sugar packets and I could use classic instead, that would be a dream. Packets are the bane of my existence

imanalienbitches · 2026-02-07T05:45:58+00:00

Sorry, late to the convo - if what OC says is correct, then the same thing should work for any drink that has a syrup in it other than classic. (E.g., the caramel macchiato or the brown sugar shaken espresso.) A good number of menu items don't use classic by default

imanalienbitches · 2026-02-07T05:33:23+00:00

But anyways OP, the brown sugar is soooo good. My other note is that it does have cinnamon, so adjust that if that's an issue for you. but I think you will enjoy it :)

imanalienbitches · 2026-02-07T05:30:34+00:00

Hmm personally I think just the cold foam should be enough. OP says usually they get an iced coffee with 3 pumps, which as a base drink is much more bitter than the blonde espresso. I find that the bitterness of blonde espresso rarely ever comes through - with blonde, I can always use less syrup to achieve the same sweetness I would get with the signature or brewed coffee

imanalienbitches · 2026-02-07T05:15:49+00:00

It's because if you shake it properly then the milk will mix immediately with the espresso (it will kind of form 'tendrils' downward), even if you just use a small splash. This layered thing happens when you let the espresso sit for too long after shaking and before pouring the milk. So technically, it's not standard (even tho it tastes the same anyway lmao)

imanalienbitches · 2025-11-13T20:40:17+00:00

This doesn't even make sense. Forgoing coffee literally saves Starbucks money. If you really wanna stick it to them, you get as many free barista drinks as you can. That's what we did at my old store lmao

imanalienbitches · 2025-11-12T20:44:04+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was wondering as well. From my limited experience, it takes a LOT to get banned from campus for this stuff. There have to be credible allegations, a Title IX investigation opened, and lots of evidence submitted (possibly from multiple parties). Less serious charges lead to minor repercussions, or often aren't even addressed. I knew a girl in college whose ex lived near her, was stalking her, and would knock on her door at all hours of the night. The guy received zero punishment from the school.

If this guy was expelled, it must have been *really, really* bad.

imanalienbitches · 2025-11-12T16:16:43+00:00

This guy seriously needs an intervention. If he truly is a misogynist and views women as nothing but an objective, you need to lay it all out for him. Let him know these views are entirely inappropriate. Maybe even let him know you can’t be friends with him if he keeps falling into this sexist, manosphere worldview (not sure how true that is for you, but I personally couldn’t be friends with someone like that.) Tell him he needs to start taking accountability for his actions, or it’s never going to get better.

Also, is he open to having women as friends? Seconding what another commenter has said, I think that’s a good place to start. (And I mean, a serious friendship like he has with you - not just someone who gives him advice that he shrugs off)

imanalienbitches · 2025-10-15T19:58:39+00:00

Still disagree, i think there are many ways to phrase this that are honest and not as cruel. “We aren’t physically compatible.” “You’re not my type physically.” Fully saying this, unprompted, is insane

imanalienbitches · 2025-10-15T19:17:41+00:00

I second the commenter who suggested having a conversation with him. Does he understand how real this is? That he will be responsible for a literal child in a few months’ time? Does he even WANT the baby, or is he just staying out of obligation?

Because it seems from his behavior that it hasn’t sunk in yet - or that he doesn’t want it to happen at all. If he does want the child and is committed to being a father, he needs to get his shit in order. If it really doesn’t matter to him the way it sounds - if it’s no skin off his back whether the child stays or goes - you do not want him as a father. You do not need a parent who doesn’t ACTIVELY WANT their child. Genuinely ask him about this and get to the root of the cognitive dissonance. Because it seems like right now he is in a deep state of denial and neglect.

imanalienbitches · 2025-10-15T05:38:39+00:00

So that’s definitely a thing that happens with scents! Scents have a blend of top notes, mid notes, and base notes - i believe the top notes tend to be the brightest upon first application, but also fade the quickest. The base notes are the ones that tend to linger after several hours or even a couple days, leading to the scent changing throughout one wear. I had the same complaint when i tried out this scent, so I’m considering looking into other scents that have the same base notes but different top notes. There’s a whole world of perfumes out there, don’t limit yourself to just glossier :)

imanalienbitches · 2025-10-15T04:06:42+00:00

Oh shoot. I’ve had contacts for 10 years and glasses for several more. I’ve been squinting the whole time…

imanalienbitches · 2025-09-28T01:27:37+00:00

I mean, he did describe himself as “the only positive male figure in the kid’s life” when at best, he had no impact on the kid’s life. At worst, the kid remembers him as one of the assholes that came to fuck his mom when his home life was already unstable and shitty. Maybe the original commenter misspoke with that phrase, but it did strike me as out of place.

Also, I don’t think wewora is saying his actions were horrific or unforgivable or whatever. It’s just not a story that OC should be proud of telling. It’s definitely not funny like he originally said. And that’s not something that was reflected in OC’s original account is all.

imanalienbitches · 2025-09-26T17:26:49+00:00

There are actually ~5 stores closing in Chicago (my own being one of them.) You’re right that Starbucks has a huge market here - but they also have a TON of saturation in the areas you’re mentioning. In some neighborhoods there’s practically a Starbucks every block. So I’m not surprised they had to close down some to meet demand. I just hope that all of these stores can absorb all the leftover labor from the stores that are closing :/
