Slice Club was definitely worth the trip.
Big thanks to Youngna, Laren, Nichelle, and of course Adam the Pizza Overlord, for all making the night so damn enjoyable. It was sad that the skating was slightly thwarted by The Trump Zambonis, but it wouldn’t be New York City without Donald Trump somehow screwing it up, I guess.
I look forward to the next Slice club. For now, I go to bed with a full stomach and aching feet.
Dear Starbucks,
For the record, the combination of steamed apple juice with cinnamon flavoring, then topping said beverage with whipped cream and caramel sauce, does not constitute a “Caramel Apple Cider”. Generally, the word “cider” is used to actually refer to “cider”, and not “juice”. I realize that this may be a difficult concept for some baristas to grasp, but I think with proper corporate training, you could make great advances in selling what you’re advertising.
Sadly, this is listed as such on your beverage page, dashing my hopes that this was a one-store issue. Said web page also includes mention of your “proprietary” caramel sauce. Let me tell you, nothing gets my appetite going like the word “proprietary”.
Similarly, I had been told that your hot cocoa is not, in fact, cocoa – it’s your mocha syrup, with shots of vanilla to neutralize the coffee flavoring. Indeed, this is ALSO listed as such on your beverage page, but not so well conveyed in your stores. Is it so difficult to actually MAKE hot cocoa? Is there some shortage of cocoa powder?
If you’re going to charge $3 for these drinks, do you think you could use the actual components mentioned in the product title? Please?
xoxo,
Dan
When we last left our hero, he was faced with a tricky dilemma. A candy machine takes nickels, and all he has on him is a quarter, a dime, and three pennies.
The top answer given was “call room service”, but a few people did get it. Click through to see the slightly comical pictoral representation of the answer.
