[3 meows]
Alright so I'm not feeling any better.
In fact, I'm feeling worse than I did yesterday.
So I'm gonna do something similar to what I did yesterday and do 3 more things you should
try at the place where I work...which is Starbucks.
And also I want to talk about a creepy movie that I saw and can't find anymore which is
offputting.
Alright so it is the holiday season and we have a lot of people ordering peppermint things
right now because I think a lot of people think that peppermint is only available during
the holidays and that's just not true.
So at Starbucks, you can get peppermint syrup year round which means peppermint mochas,
peppermint mocha frappuccinos, peppermint white mochas, all of these things are available
all year around.
The only difference will be it won't have the little special topping, like whatever
topping that they put out every year for this drink so that won't be available.
But otherwise the drink itself is identical.
Or at least should be as of like, 2017 or y'know, as of today.
Another syrup very few people know about is raspberry.
Starbucks has raspberry.
We always stock it.
It's on our menu.
And mostly we have people order it in teas but yeah, it's available.
My therapist gets raspberry lattes, so...
Number 2, and this is something I do personally: you can control the amount of water that we
put into our iced teas.
So our iced tea is just a...not really a tea concentrate-- it's just tea that we brew really
strong and we dilute it with water, so...what you can do, and what I do sometimes, is get
a tea with no water and extra ice because I take a long time to drink beverages so it
always gets watered down by the ice because I take so long.
So, what I'll do sometimes is just get light water or no water at all and throughout the
day as it's melting the ice kinda balances out so it's not watered down.
And number 3 is a caramel apple spice.
I believe it's on the menu right now, like the physical menu that you can see, because
it's kinda a holiday-ish drink, but again it's available all year round so all it is
is steamed apple juice, cinnamon dolce syrup, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle on top
of that.
So, all those things, all of those components are available year round.
Sometimes it's just not on the menu, like the physical menu in store, so...
It's been on the menu since like, since I started working for the company for the first
time in like 2004.
It's an old drink.
It's a good drink and not enough people order it.
I think I've had people order it maybe 5 times?
Since I came back working for Starbucks?
And like 3 of those were in the last 48 hours, so...definitely try it.
It's really good.
Even without the whip, because I'm not...I don't like whip, but it's really good!
A few weeks ago Randy and I saw this movie called Heidi on Amazon and so we watched that,
and it was this creepy found-footage about a haunted doll, which is already creepy enough,
like, it was really, like...it was...I wish I could rewatch it to see...y'know, to really
see if it's problematic in any way, or if it's like just really bad-- it's creepy because
it's like a haunted doll, y'know...but so we watched it, and it was like, if I'm kinda
creeped out by a horror movie that's pretty rare so I'm like, wow, that had some rewatch
value, and then it just disappeared.
Like we can't see...I'll link it down below because I did find that you can buy the DVD
on Amazon but it's not for streaming, you can't find it anywhere else on any other streaming
services, we can't even find it, like, can't really find much evidence of it existing at
all, so like... y'know not only do we find a found footage horror movie that's actually
scaryish, y'know, whatever, then, like, we see it and it immediately disappears and like
of course it's called "Heidi" so you just come up with all these searches of the old-timey
Heidi movie which I'll also link below, but...
Yeah, it's just kinda off-putting that I wanna rewatch this so I can talk about it and maybe,
you know... recommend it or not cuz I can't really recommend it having watched it once
and like, not really intently so...
Just wanted to share that cuz that was super creepy, we thought.
We were just like...was that a ghost movie? Did we see a ghost movie?
But that's all I have today.
Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow, but... it's still gonna be cold.
I work at 4:30 tomorrow morning, so...
I'll be back, hopefully, tomorrow!
See you then.
