[QUOTE=QQnMarine;46470233]It doesn't just end with [I]dependos[/I], there are plenty of [I]wooks[/I] who think they are entitled and tend to double standard when things don't go their way. It seems you handled the situation well, but in any case she shouldn't be doing that, she's like one of those officer wives demanding salutes because she is an officer's [B][U]wife[/U][/B]. Unfortunately as a current member I can't berate her with insults and such because of my current organizational status and she is probably going to cry wolf to whatever NCO she is fucking. Trust me she'll go down under, people like her eventually rot in the dirt.[/QUOTE] Best part is, the whole thing started over enlisted pay (hence the mention of anything above E9 being irrelevant to the matter at hand) and how unless you're a senior NCO or better you don't actually make jack-shit. She tried to argue with me that the military gets paid just fine (let that sink in a minute - E5s under the 2014 pay scale get paid about $26k a year base, not counting hazard pay, tin can duty, bonuses, time in, etc. - police, on the other hand, averaged about $56k nationally as of [b]three years ago[/b]) - $26k is nothing to write home about, but she was acting like somehow I was wrong just because her boyfriend's a Sergeant. But then, this chick has never held a job more serious than waiting tables, so I guess by her standards $26k must be making bank. [editline]12th November 2014[/editline] Fuck, my merge
I work in a restaurant and less than half my shifts is waiting tables and I make more than $26k

A doppio con panna is just standard cafe stuff, like a latte or cappuccino. I think they have a button for it even. I ordered, and it actually said that on the receipt, so I didn't have to order two shots of espresso with whipped cream. It's so good. Shit, now I'm craving coffee.

Guess I should have been more specific and said "allowances" instead of just dumping them all in together. Regardless she was doing absolutely nothing for her side of things, she also had the gall to tell me I "clearly don't know the ranking system at all". I'm just sitting there like "you're right sugartits, I had to memorize every single enlisted rating and officer rank before I ever step foot aboard NTC Great Lakes AND our trays at mess had these big-ass diagrams listing every single one of them, but I totally haven't got a clue how the military handles ranks; whereas you, who have never even been in anything like CAP let alone the military, automatically know everything there is to know about the military just because you're sleeping with a Sergeant." :suicide:
I actually missed where you mentioned bonuses in your post. But yeah, she sounds annoying.
No problem man. And yeah, she definitely was. That wasn't the only thing that really pissed me off about her and like I said, I was this close to blocking her as it was before all this happened. I really kinda feel bad for her boyfriend. I hope he knows what he's getting into.

I don't like coffee =)

Guys I need a new ringtone what should it be.
Don't have Tims here. Never had it, so I can't compare. The only difference between ordering at Tims and Starbucks is our sizes, which most people ignore anyway and use just Small, Medium, Large
Kath, does it piss you off when people order a frappuccino and call it a "frappe"?
Actually, a lot, to be honest, because it says "Frappucino" in front of their face on the menu but they say "Frappe" EVERY DAY.
"frappy"
Okay good, we agree on something <3 Every fucking time someone ordered a "frappe" I wanted to yell WE AIN'T GOT NO DAMN FRAPPES, GO TO MCDONALDS. Of course doing that is kind of frowned upon, so I had to settle for just thinking it instead.
I love a lot of my customers and have become friends with many regulars but I swear some people are functionally illiterate, or just stupid. How do you go into Starbucks for months and never actually learn what you're getting? Do you watch the Barista make your drink? I really want to ask these questions when I get every-day regulars who insist on things like "Grande Latte with half as much milk" and yell at the Barista on bar making drinks when she gets a half-full cup.

[editline]12th November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Herfjotur;46472333]Do they have espresso machines at Tims? Damn, I want coffee.[/QUOTE] From what I've construed some do, many don't. Anyone that goes to US Tims can confirm lattes/Cappuccinos/Cafe-espresso drinks?
[QUOTE=Herfjotur;46472333]Do they have espresso machines at Tims? Damn, I want coffee.[/QUOTE] I dont actually work there I just go there for my daily coffee so I couldn't tell you Im pretty sure a Latte contains espresso and they sell those so presumably they have espresso
Lattes are supposed to contain espresso, but I wouldn't count on any non-cafe type of joint to actually pay the extra money for espresso.
Dunkin also sells "latte"s, but doesnt have espresso, which is concerning. I really don't like normal brewed in to a pot kinda coffee, so I either have to go to starbucks, or go to an actual cafe where it'll be really expensive.
Lattes are also supposed to contain steamed milk, but Dunkin Donuts likes microwaves.
If we're on the subject of how things are supposed to be made but aren't, I actually prefer my chai without water at all. Just steamed milk plz. Also iced chai is best chai.
i work 3 days a week and i make 30k a year im just replying to that post earlier im living the good life of having no higher education and still being able to live because my mom is going to give me the condo
[QUOTE=Malikyte;46472405]If we're on the subject of how things are supposed to be made but aren't, I actually prefer my chai without water at all. Just steamed milk plz. Also iced chai is best chai.[/QUOTE] Funny enough, the majority of Chai Tea Lattes we sell are without water. If everyone actually knew what they wanted instead of just saying words off the menu at my face, a "Chai Latte" would not get water, since it's a latte with Teavana Chai, whereas a Chai Tea Latte would get water since it's diluting the Teavana Chai mix into 'from concentrate' tea, for the latte to be made with.
