#tablespoons

[the-pink-hacker]

We should take a note from metric units and only have one unit per measurement. For instance we currently have teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons. I propose a much better system of teaspoons, decateaspoons, hectoteaspoons, and kiloteaspoons.

If that sounds too simple then we can also have tablespoons, decatablespoons, hectotablespoons, and kilotablespoons.

1 kiloteaspoon = 1 000 teaspoons = ⅓ kilotablespoon = 333 ⅓ tablespoons

There's another way to take this though. Instead of prefixing the teaspoon or tablespoon, we can prefix the spoon. So you could have teaspoons, eggspoons, coffespoons, dessertspoon, tablespoons, and ladlespoons. I don't think you guys are ready for that one though.

Dear Starbucks Patrons,

To the woman whose order I took today:

You asked for a grande coffee with exactly a tablespoon's worth of non-fat milk. We do not have tablespoons at our location. Perhaps there are some that provide silverware that do, but we do not and we don't. Getting irate, you said that that was the only way you could drink it.

That's not our problem.

You pointed out the plastic spoons behind me that we give out with yogurt and oatmeal. I pointed out those were teaspoons, but I offered to get you non-fat milk on the side in a short cup with one of said plastic teaspoons. You accepted.

When I gave it to you, you started putting the milk in your coffee in front of the register. I informed you that Starbucks didn't want you doing that because of Covid. You said you were done. I said okay, just so you know for next time. You said you wouldn't be back again.

Couple things:

1.) Thank God.

2.) I'm not sure I can trust this is the case anyway, as I remembered after you left that you'd made the same request of a coworker, no less rudely or irritatedly, and you still came back.

3.) This is still something worth knowing when patronizing other locations. (As somehow I doubt this interaction is going to cause you to forsake Starbucks altogether.)

Enjoy your coffee. You will not be missed.

Sincerely, a Starbucks Employee.

so as a matter of fact the american table spoon measurement is not the same as the tablespoons in my drawer. I have been making my mugcookie wrong for years. i've been feeding myself butterized cookie dough and because i am not a connoisseur and it was sweet I liked it. So I did it the right way a few weeks ago. blown. away.
