Very Interesting

I very rarely go to Starbucks. All the required things to make your regular hot coffee or a cold smoothie is at the supermarket. Anything Starbucks can make, I make them like 100 times better AND at the comfort of my house. :wink:
Doesnt mean I don’t like to go there. I do get lazy sometimes. :lol:

Hot Chocolate:
10 ounces Dark Chocolate
1 Can Sweetened Condensed MilkMelt the two together, add boiling water as needed until right consistency
Whip up some heavy cream to dollop on the top with either a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg for flair.
Why in the world would you get Hot Cocoa from Starbucks??? CC, you need a woman if you’re so desperate as to freequent that haven of bourgousie oppression and cow spit. :)
i’m lazy, i have no family, and i have an income that surpasses my needs. If i want some (free) hot chocolate that someone wants to make for me, then i’ll happily take it.
Now look at it from another perspective. Let’s say that it takes me about 15 minutes to purchase the needed ingredients and make the hot chocolate (not counting driving to the store etc. as we can say i’m picking them up while i’m shopping). Let’s also say that i make around $100/hour during the day, and $170/hour after midnight. For <$4.00, i can do something that would normally cost the equivalent of $25.00 - give-or-take in time. Depending on your perspective, one might argue that i am saving $21 by asking for a hot chocolate when i’m buying a (needed) gift card from there . . . . -
And, you’re creating jobs!
Back on credit cards, I’m pretty happy with mine. There’s no annual fee, and I get about 1% cash back on all my purchases, and I think the percentage goes up if I spend more than a certain amount. Not points or anything, cash. Yesterday I saw my bill and saw that it had been discounted by $133 for all the money I’ve spent on it. I’m going to look into putting my mortgage on the card…
The card is a CIBC VISA Dividend card. And it also includes perks like replacement and travel insurance. Did I mention it has no fees?

Thanks, but sadly no . . . . I have more on my plate for the three weeks before New Years than i need (average week around 60-70 hours). Also the ERs are just as busy as ever before. During the summer it was wasp bites, winter - ankle sprains on the ice. Plus the never ending attack of the dizzy/weak/unwell little old lady (the ER version of LOL).

merry CHRISTmas anyway and don’t forget to tip your barrista 8-)

Dunno what people normally tip. I heard the average tip in the United States for restaraunt service is 8-12% and for delivery is less then 1%. My personal philosiphy is $5 per hour for restaraunt service -$1 for each time my coffee cup goes dry. (That’s been $20 tips for a cup of coffee before.) And for delivery I try to tip the same as the delivery charge (about $3 or 15%.)
As for tip jars and Starbucks/Caribou Coffee are concerned, I’m not paying them to do their jobs. Next you’ll see tip jars at friggin McDonald’s!
What’s other people’s tips?
-
At Starschumcks? zero.
-
i don’t frequent espresso shops and only go out occasionally (feeding children) but as my wife used to be a waitress i generally tip 15-20%

I live on coffee. But I get the sinking feeling that caffiene effects metabolism and causes your body resistance when trying to loose weight, which might explain why the US Army has a policy against caffiene and outright forbids you to have any during combat training (even prior service.)
So i’m planning on no caffiene next year til I loose 35 pounds.

Your body is actually attuned to a small amount of caffeine. But too much can put stress on many things (heart, adrenals, etc.).

Would 12 cups of coffee in the morning, 1 Venti Mocha on the way to work, 12 cans of diet coke at work and 2 Monsters on the way home from work count as “too much” ?

OMG, Jenn, I think that qualifies you as comatose! :-o

Uhm, isn’t comatose what you are when you are asleep and can’t be woken up? With that load, it’s hard to get to sleep. :) On the plus side, I’m always awake when my kids try to get in trouble!

I don’t know about that Caffeine policy, I have the NSN for caffeinated chewing gum somewhere. I tried to order some when I was in Iraq, but the order is probably getting there now. “Nonessential” take a while to get there.

Ya know, we didnt get to drink cofee in basic. I went from 5 cups every morning to none. Talk about Withdrawal.

Hey M36 you got any good war stories ?

@M36:

You don’t get to drink any if you are prior service in basic either…which is really flubbed up. After that, I really didn’t drink any while I was in uniform, figured I already had the habbit kicked, why get back into it.
Then I got injured and could only fight the narcotics drowsyness with caffiene.

Sadly no Imperious Leader, I have no war stories worth mentioning. :-(
