My guess is that the egg mcmuffin meal listed on the receipt is less than what you would see on the menu-board. The difference in price would probably be the same as a cost of a drink. Just a guess...

 

 

I guess that could be. I didn't pay attention to the price of the EMcM meal. But why wouldn't they let me buy the large hot chocolate anyway. :lol: Oh wait!!! Because I should have ordered a MEDIUM HC!

Tangent here....if there are only two sizes of hot chocolate, wouldn't it stand to reason that there would only be a small and a large? How can you have a medium if there's no large? :lol: That doesn't even make sense. :lol:

The same way a small can be a tall.

Did you mention us and our tremendous purchasing power?*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*"Purchasing power" defined here as combined waistline circumference.

 

 

:laugh: That's funny, BF. :lol:

The same way a small can be a tall.

 

Touche, BirddyBoy.

 

SBUX does have a smaller size than the tall...it's called a Short.

Very true.

 

I always want a hot chocolate in the same size cup that a large coffee comes in. However, they only use small and medium-sized cups for hot chocolate up this way, so I guess that's why they call it a medium.

 

Don't know why they do it this way...I would happily pay the extra fifty cents to get the bigger size. :idunno:

At one point, a sweet ice tea was $1.00.

A unsweetened ice tea the same size was $1.29.

 

I would just order the sweet tea and fill my own up with unsweetened tea.

I just found that out.

 

But you have to ask for it! I also learned that if you heat a Venti, you lose roughly 4 ounces...apparently in steam.

Huh?

Huh?

From some obscure coffee blog:

 

Venti - 20 oz. hot, 24 oz. cold. For some reason the iced Venti cups hold four more ounces; for this reason, Venti espresso drinks have an extra shot of espresso in them, and cost a few cents more than their hot equivalents.

 

 

 

I hang out on obscure coffee blogs because it gives me a defining sense of self.

Oh...Thanks. I was confused.

You mean, "Thanks a latte'?"

Not if its a drive-thru.

 

That's how they do it at Culver's. It's how it has always been done.

 

I guess if you refuse to pull forward that's your choice though.

First of all, I didn't say you shouldn't, I said you might want to consider not working with the public.

In the grand scheme of this thread, it told me a lot. I didn't put words in your mouth or anything, I went on what you said, I only had that to go on. As far as how good of a worker you are with the public, I don't know, so I'll take your word for it. I have no reason to think you would lie about it.

I would think you can understand how people took your comment wrong, it was the way you came across to us. You really can't blame us for that.

 

What's the difference? You were suggesting that I wouldn't be good at working with the public, even though every job I've ever had has been working with the public.

 

You overreacted to what I said and made assumptions on my work ethic and ability to work with the public based on one single sentence.

If you want to lose money, "the customer is always right." I believe in good customer service but you can't go overboard with satasfying the customer.
