BeOhBe Bob Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) And these questions are taped onto their tip container, so you put your tip wherever you want your vote to be cast. Now after a long hot day, and a sense of humor from left of center...I'm in the drive thru line, my cell rings and it's DIRECTV asking me whatever, and I answer "I'm really sorry this is a bad time, I have a really pretty girl here waiting for my card so I can pay for my coffee"..and hang up. She giggles takes my card and I look down and see the tip container. I am laughing my ass off, and she says BOB! Are you laughing at me cuz I took the top off your latte' and had to look close at it to make sure it was done right? I was laughing with my hand over my mouth and said No Vanessa honey I'm sorry...I wasn't laughing at you! I saw your tip box and thought of Aerosmith! Laughing, I turned the box so she could read it... Huh? was her answer and I drove away They get these from Corporate ya know, so makes ya wonder...

Tarkus406 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Not paying any attention to the conversation currently taking place in this thread, I'm going to say I'd rather have a scone because it's not as sweet but at the same time...I really don't like raisins or any other fruit embedded into my bready products.

Raisins ruin everything. I prefer muffins, though. It's hard to get a really good scone in the US. I used to work for a bakery many years ago and it has something to do with the type of flour used, which is tough to find. And then people have to pervert the concept of scones by using stupid substitutions like whole wheat flour (has its place, but not in scones) and omg, we CAN'T use shortening - it's BAD FOR YOU! So gimme a muffin. Better yet, give me a Martin's biscuit. Made with lard, the way it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffins are like 1,000,000 times better than scones. Muffins are delicious cakey sugary soft fluffy goodness. Scones are bland, dry, and boring. Blechh.

CrossedSignals Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 WTFF? Scones are winning?!! I don't think I've ever been so fired up about anything on TRF!! This will not stand!! Seriously, scones?

Actually, I know a girl who doesn't like cake, including cupcakes. But anyway.... it's good to see muffins are taking the cake (so to speak) in this poll. All is right in the universe.

BeOhBe Bob Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 OK I'm guessing the "muffin" is a dead euphemism for *ahem* a female body part? Anyway, we went to Starbucks TWICE yesterday. First trip saw Vanessa (Diane can't tolerate her) the one I saw the day before, and the tip box. Diane finally saw what I was talking about. "Are ya f*%#&in kiddin me?" laughs and says hell yes a muffin! Vanessa comes to the window with our drinks...not knowing what's so damn funny. The second trip? Box was turned around so no one could read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
