Coffee creamers have officially jumped the shark

Oh that one has been around for a while. I’m a straight coffee & cream guy, no sugar or flavors whatsoever. Once you start adding all those garbage flavorings to coffee, it’s not coffee anymore, it’s a dessert. I’ll never understand people standing in line at Starbucks to pay $6 for a Frappuccino which is nothing more that an 800 calorie glorified milkshake …
 
I start my day off with an Iced Double Espresso with Bam Bam sprinkles and an extra shot of yabba-dabba-do.

PS - Have you been down the ice cream aisle lately? I saw sour patch ice cream, coco pebbles ice cream, air heads ice cream, and all sorts of flavors that should never exist.

While I havent seen it locally, this one takes the cake:

‘Member Dennis Leary in ‘92 ……

DL: I’d like a coffee please
Starbucks: What flavor
DL : Coffee (Dennis Leary words) FLAVOR :ROFLMAO:

*new rant*. These millennial comics can’t hold a flashlight to highlight those that came before them.

‘So today at Starbucks……… they spelled my name Ashleigh instead of the extra eiyae Ashleieiyae……. heh heh…. amirite’

Garbage. Pure. Garbage.
 
Whenever they ask me my name, they always repeat back to me “BEN” … ok 😞

I just stopped correcting them and now, if I order from Starbucks, my name is Ben. It’s just easier than asking them to remove the dang EarPods from their head long enough to listen to me say my name!

I go with ‘Bob’ as it’s less likely to screw up. If they do screw it up and add an extra ‘O’, well, They’re still right.

They will ask "Is that spelled "Been" or "Bin" or what"?

I say my name is “His Royal Highness Sir Doctor Lord Alfred Higginbotham Jr. the third esquire DDS” and I make sure that they spell it out completely.

When they call out the name, I wait for a minute or two to make sure that they have to yell it several times.

Sometimes, my name is "The mighty Hercules" or something else fun to have them yell out in a crowded place.

I’m going to go the Simpson’s route next time -

Starbucks : “Name for the order?”

Me: “Hugh Joss”

…. waits for barrista to finish …

Barrista : “HUGH JOSS!? HUGH …. JOSS ….?!? Is there a HUGH JOSS here??!!”
