A Rant About 50th and Vernon Starbucks. . .


THis has made my mood very foul.

A. nice drink.

B. not the drink I ordered

C. I thought perhaps saying, "the ***new*** blended lemonade with green tea" about 4 TIMES would clarify what I was ordering. . . . apparently not.

hahahahah.
yeah, you know when you have your heart set on something, like LEMONADE, BLENDED NICELY. . . and then you get, well, THAT. . .
it was super gross. I have made them that way myself before the new blended lemonades came out last week, and i knew they were gross. the stuff they had before just didn't blend well at all. plus when the dude handed it to me it had a bunch of green tea collected on top of the lid which of course spilled directly into my crotch.

not cool. plus i just can't complain about things like that, just because it would be more of a pain than it is worth so i just had to deal with it.
not a big deal, in the run of things i know, but they seemed confused about what i was ordering, and i know that the "training" on the new blended lemonades was pretty much a sheet of paper saying HERE'S HOW YOU MAKE THIS. . . .HAVE AT.

but when they asked me like 3 times in a row what it was that i was ordering, and i said 3 TIMES IN A ROW "THE ***NEW**** blended lemonade blended with green tea" and then the kid at the window confirmed what i ordered and then said, "hang on, i better go check on that. . . " and it was still the wrong stuff I really had to wonder.

Leah has this term for lame starbucks employees all working together (or caribou, i suppose) called THE INEPT CREW or THE I.C.

this was definitely one of those.
