Not only that, the corn syrup used in Pepsi has a viscosity rating of 27.48 whereas Coke uses one with a viscosity rating of 29.01. The difference should be completely obvious to anyone who has ever even paid any attention.

I mean sure, I too would prefer Coke with cane sugar if I had the choice...but if all a place has is regular high-fructose Pepsi, it's not the end of the world. It's not like not wanting beer, but all they have is wine.

There's a guy on my street that is a tow truck driver. He ALWAYS parks his truck, with a car attached in front of my house. It drives me crazy. It's ugly to see. There is usually some oil/grease/crap leaking from the car in tow. I hate it. Park that crap in front of your own house.

Invisible sky man forbid that someone prefer the taste of orange over lime.

No, I was not asking you if you had cola products at your restaurant. I was asking which cola brand you served here. I love Coke, and hate Pepsi. I will not drink Pepsi, so please let me know which one you have. Now I know why Springs1 gets so worked up.

Thanks. The thing that I hate is when(usually a bartender, but once was a waiter that did this as well) when you say "coke", they serve you pepsi, so you ask them after tasting it wasn't coke, then they say they serve pepsi. I am livid with that, because it's not *CONSIDERATE* and it's getting the order wrong. I said "coke", WHY would I want pepsi? A lot of places at least have dr. pepper, which I do love, so if they don't have coke, I choose dr. pepper. If they don't have either one, usually I get an iced tea then. I am just not a pepsi fan. Wild Cherry pepsi is drinkable, but even that's not that great in my opinion.

Getting the order wrong is my point and it's on purpose they decide not to mention it's not coke. These workers are jerks that act like they have no taste buds or something. All the drinks taste different. Sam's cola taste different than coke, RC cola taste different than coke, etc. None of them have the same taste.

I had one bartender that said "That's our version of a coke" or something like that. I was like, "If they didn't have coke, you could have told me." THAT is what pissed me off, the not letting me know.

I've been on the road for work since Feb and have been eating out pretty much everyday. I've taken to asking for pepsi exclusively (mostly because of my accent coke sounds like ####? Apparently?) Anyway, it's fun when the first server asks if coke is ok but subsequent servers don't

If you weirdos order coke and are somehow disappointed when you receive Pepsi (even with its superior taste), then start ordering coca-cola instead of coke - less ambiguous.

Yeah, Coke and Pepsi are basically the same thing.

Well, thanks for that.

Unlike Beetlejuice, for Springs1 to appear you only need to say her name once. Thanks to you, that happened. Please hang your head in shame.

The key now is that nobody, and I mean PLEASE, NOBODY, quote/respond/or mention her at all. Unless you want 20 pages of 6 paragraph rants over nonsense.

We can do this guys.

This is what I'm thinking. Just need to find a place that will hire someone who has a two week vacation booked and paid for within a month.

I can't wait for the day I get another job though, cause I'm sure within a few days of that, I'll have someone piss me off and I'll just flat out get up and leave. This is an industry I have no interest in being and one that is extremely isolated from other industries so screw this bridge.

phew, it's a good thing you bolded, capitalized and underlined that. I wasn't sure if you were totally serious after the first 5 words.
