The mistakes at Starbucks (especially names) are part of the experience, not an inconvenience?

Oh fak. I'm screwed then.

Well sort of. I get to have more sugar than I was having.

Don't think about it so much as a mistake this poor soul had to bear...think of it more as a human to human. If you were having coffee at my house and I gave you a bit more than you wanted or the sugar:cream ratio was slightly off your preference, would you really complain? If so, we definitely wouldn't be friends lol.

Same thing at Tim's. A person at work just trying their best. No way in hell am I going to make their day a little tougher over a giant nothing. Guarantee that worker went to bed that night daydreaming about throwing that coffee in Jiri's face.
Depends. How much do you charge per cup?

In a totally inconsequential grinder I hate the amount of fries I get at restaurants so much that I just ask for none now. There’s no discount! I don’t care. If it’s not McDonald’s fries I’m gonna have three and not have anymore and they go in the garbage. I wish I liked salad.

Also restaurants cutting costs with filler and drizzle. Went to The Office (terrible name). Got pork belly tacos. A single 1” square wafer, quarter of a centimeter thick with mounds of red cabbage “slaw” and all sorts of drizzles. Complete garbage. Everyone else disliked their meals. Tacotime would have been ten times better. Pork belly should be rich and flavorful and fatty. Not a piece of big chief beef jerky. Terrible restaurant.

I love big chief beef jerky when I go out drinking It's also always a hit if everyone hasn't had something nice and salty to balance out their drink.

But yeah, if your pork belly taco is that texture, you've ####ed up both pork belly and chicharrons.

Do you have any idea what a Big Chief does to the sugar/cream ratio in a large Tims?

I thought you hated bears?

And here you are sprinkling them into your answers all willy nilly.

I just can't get a read on you.

My Girl friend moved in a couple months ago and it is awesome!

except that she keeps on leaving the very last food item in the package.

I'm look for a snack, running through the pantry and there is a pack of goldfish with 5 crackers in it, a cookie box with one cookie, a single tiny muffin, three peanuts. C'mon woman! just finish the last in the bag and quit teasing me!

The ‘tease’ is part of the fun of living with your GF!

Would have been better if it was big chief.

The fun part is trying to figure out what thing from childhood led her to this behaviour, so you know who to blame at family dinners. "You did this to her!"

She clearly comes from a household where "if you kill it you fill it" was the primary rule.

If you are even in San Francisco, go to Kin Khao and get the carmalized pork belly. you won't eat it anywhere else

My wife does this. It is annoying.

What inevitably ends up happening is the 2-bite remaining leftovers get forgot about and pushed to the back of the fridge/pantry/freezer until it gets damaged, contaminates other items due to it being out of the packaging, or spoiled.

So... Ive started arbitrarily eating it as soon as I see it, or simply chucking it out immediately.
