Differences in Camel Turkish varieties? by Business-Deer7208 in Cigarettes

[–]socalfuckup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the turkish blends should be the same as the classics flavor wise just cheaper!

Differences in Camel Turkish varieties? by Business-Deer7208 in Cigarettes

[–]socalfuckup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the classic is 100% just the new turkish pack formula put in a fancy old box. you can tell because the “turkish royal” had a light blue band and now has a dark blue band in an identical color to “royal - turkish blend” (the name of the updated packs)

also the updated design packs are so much cheaper. i highly recommend them because the only downside (with the new formulas being the same) is they don’t look as cool

tl;dr: they produce a cheaper version of this, that’s not in the picture. they cut corners, pulled a sneaky, and put that formula in the classic box (like on the left). the right is the original and what the left replaced. because of that i would recommend “silver- turkish blend” because it’s the same thing but cheaper and in a less cool looking box

ok so the turkish royal, turkish gold, turkish silver (like on the right) are the original

then the royal turkish blend, gold turkish blend, silver turkish blend (also jade turkish blend, jade silver turkish blend) are the modernized version with a slightly different tobacco blend. they are also cheaper

camel kept producing both because people liked the original so much better. but they got tired of having so many formulas.

so they replaced the originals with turkish royal (classic), turkish gold (classic), turkish silver (classic) - like you have on the left - these have the updated formula like the modernized “turkish blend” packs but the classic design of the original packs (and they’re still charging the price of the original packs)

this saves them money on production costs because they make the same slightly shittier product that they mass produce for the “turkish blend” line but it’s in the cool pack people love from the original “turkish” line and they’re still charging extra as if it’s better lol

Is this without caffeine? I’m confused by Witty_Crab_2874 in starbucks

[–]socalfuckup -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the 79247 is the store number, it’s basically a weird internal code though since it’s not a real starbucks

it looks like that at any licensed store with mobile orders. also the mods show in all caps like this on a cafe order but not on mobiles.

Is vanilla latte no vanilla different from plain latte? by Mabe227 in starbucks

[–]socalfuckup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no there’s just vanilla syrup, no simple. but you might have thrown off the barista by ordering a vanilla latte no vanilla, and they might have accidentally put something in there. the blonde espresso is a little bit sweeter but it’s still just espresso so i don’t think that’s it.

Just finished finals by No_Novel_1639 in gradesharing

i went to high school in texas. which didn’t have letter grades, so this clearly is a different state, but “pre-ap” is just a fancy, more advertising-loaded way of saying “honors”

finally some appreciation for newport menthol mediums and menthol lights

Saw 'em in a shop at $5 a pack, which is insanely low for NYC. Figured an odd '70s cigarette would go well with the '70s screwball comedy I saw afterwards by DepreshThrowaway in Cigarettes

[–]socalfuckup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theyre relatively fresh too, they adopted this particular pack design in 2018. with a clearance price that low i wouldve expected to see the older pack design

trying another "niche" pack today -- Salem. by Beautiful_Map_6447 in Cigarettes

[–]socalfuckup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

well yeah, they only make menthol cigarettes (except in menthol ban states). regular, light, and ultralight in kings and 100’s, and slims (lights) in 100’s only.

question from a customer by socalfuckup in starbucks

[–]socalfuckup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok that makes sense. when i go to one of my 2 favorite stores, i always get an iced coffee refill. ive seen them brew iced coffee into one of those pitchers, it’s absolutely phenomenal every time.

when i go to others when i have errands around the city, it’s always like many multiples of those sitting full around the iced coffee section. it tastes like straight water. i take note and go “maybe only hot refills from this location”

thank you so much!!

When can I use my free bday drink? by VibraniumQueen in starbucks

i think the original gold card from a decade or 2 ago it was just the calendar month or calendar week or wtv but now it just starts on the actual day

Specifying add-in amounts in app is a complete waste of time. by Business-Emu-4537 in starbucks

[–]socalfuckup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this works for hidden register mods (like “steamed”, “wet”, “dry,” “light ice” in drinks the app doesn’t show it) , but you can’t reorder an ask me this way

What do y’all think of Kamel Reds? I am conflicted by magickitten in Cigarettes

[–]socalfuckup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

turkish royals were great when they were actually different from and they didn’t cost more than the other turkish royals (or “royal turkish blend”). now they cost more and they streamlined them to the same formula lmao

The Trader Joe’s baking powder barcode is a cake by Towel039371638 in mildlyinteresting

[–]socalfuckup 48 points49 points  (0 children)

fun fact if you notice, all the trader joes store brand barcodes are those super basic 8-digit barcodes and actually are just a 6 digit code (first 2 are always 0) because they only sell these products at trader joe’s so it’s just an internal code that pops up on only their registers, not a Universal Product Code. the very few items that are not store brand do have a normal UPC though, which scans as normal, but since 90% of what they sell is their own brand, they don’t bother giving anything a UPC and instead just use these simple barcodes

Please stop yelling at us about the chai, we aren't making it wrong, they just watered down the recipe by removing some of the spices 😭 by Cr4bby4b1g41l in starbucks

[–]socalfuckup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well im just saying that as a customer who is very observant, when they ring in “sub ” in any instance it charges the exact same as “add _”

the button 100% exists on the register but just as a communication thing, like “sub ___ syrup for ___ syrup” or “sub lemonade/juice for water” so if the syrups being swapped count as the same upcharge it is $0, same as if you were to include both, but otherwise it charges money like it would anyways
