"How long it takes to order at a counter- and I will show you your bank account"
- Thread starter GON
- Start date
So, when you go to Starbucks, or wherever, and they ask the name for the order, tell them Spartacus. When your order is ready and they call out Spartacus, see how many people stand up and say, "I'm Spartacus." I guess that has actually been done.
That’s just stupid

I stop for black coffee on the road often - feel like I’m waiting for someone mixing cake batter - and they never move off to the side …
In the Philippines we’d go to Starbucks around 9am. I would be the only one in that store to order black coffee - so they’d have to brew it

Just order a double or triple shot Americano, no cream. Tastes better than brewed anyway. I ask for extra cream.I stop for black coffee on the road often - feel like I’m waiting for someone mixing cake batter - and they never move off to the side …

There are ocassions when I can't read the menu on the wall so I'll walk up closer to read it. I endure a lot of dirty looks, but I'm ready to order after I walk to the back the line and wait my turn.
We go out to eat once or twice a week. Our cars are paid off.

Oh yeah and my actual bank account has maybe only $7823.19 or so. Wait, that's a credit union. I don't have a bank account.
How did she know?
Some employees at establishments are worse than the customers, so I take the least path of resistance and avoid both:
1. Drink and eat at home.
2. Avoid establishments that offer table service.
3. Utilize the drive thru, instead of going inside (where applicable).
4. Use an app. to order (where applicable).

I will occasionally ask a waitperson which item between two they would pick. But only between two. I am always ready to order before everyone else at the table has decided.
Nothing’s like YouTube wisdom. Now, where is that guy with over a billion in debt that seems to be always used in YouTube shorts about financial advice? I need to watch him some more.
People who do their own car and home repairs are a better fit for everything!
Yeah, I think that’s him.
A Roman sword they might be able to lift. But not a Claymore!
I wouldn’t want to work for somebody who is that over simplistic and blatantly judgmental.
We have several food allergies in our family so often we spend time looking over the menu to ensure we’re not ordering something that’s going to cause a bad reaction. It is not always completely obvious what ingredients are in items. And every menu is different. We try to do it in a way that doesn’t inconvenience others but sometimes that is unavoidable. In her dinner scenario, she might be overly critical of someone who has a legitimate dietary constraint and wants to be sure they do not order the wrong item and hurt themselves.
Definition of narcissist: thinking very highly of oneself, needing admiration, believing others are inferior, and lacking empathy for others.
Sounds like she is being the borderline narcissist here. She is not upset that they inconvenienced everyone else, she is upset that they inconvenienced to her.

I’d also like to add she is clearly not taking into consideration that there are religious and moral aspects to food consumption. To her ordering a beverage or food is inconsequential, but to the person ordering, it could be the difference between life or death if they have an allergy or violating one’s religious or moral beliefs. As the young people would say, “check your privilege, lady.”

My girlfriend and I have been going to a lot of restaurants lately that we have never tried before and I always check the menu online first and decide what I want long before I get there (or at least have it narrowed down to two things)
