Starbucks Has Loose Lids?

,

Been to two different Starbucks this week and on both cold drinks, the lids were loose.

Is your lid loose?

Not a big deal right? That’s what I thought until I found out how much liquid actually seeps out from under a loose lid! Drips of coffee were randomly falling and my desk coaster was covered. And don’t try picking up the drink grasping only the lid, that’s a spill waiting to happen.

Is it just me or does Starbucks have loose lids? And I think this is better than the previous tight lid forcing you to go big, long, and thick.

Can I Have One Strip?

, ,

So I was at a Safeway deli, and an employee was there buying lunch. He asked for a chicken strip, a single strip! The strip got weighed, bagged, and paid for and off the employee went after asking for a bunch of condiments and chee-hooing the cheap price of his lunch.

In honor of this employee’s one strip, I present one rib from I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.

Black Friday Shopping at Windward Mall

,

A late night/early morning start, camping out for hours, waiting in long lines, pandemonium to get limited specials – that’s too much Black Friday shopping for me. Instead, I headed to Windward Mall for some mid-morning shopping. Don’t get me wrong, the usually idyllic mall was crowded, and the parking lot was full, but it wasn’t that bad. The shopping at Macys was brisk but if you could resist the frivolous buys, there were good deals to be had like 2-for-1 toys!

Keiki enjoyed the indoor play area which wasn’t as full as I thought it would be, and the mall security did a good job keeping the older, bigger kids out. The most unique item I saw at Windward Mall was this shirt made for true social media geeks. Can you relate?

To top off all this shopping was a live DJ spinning some serious tunes at the new Kazu Couture. I didn’t go into the store but watched the music mixing action through the window.

  • Kim Kardashian
  • Sandra Bullock
  • Tiger Woods
  • Lady Gaga
  • Barack Obama
  • Hairstyles

No real big surprises although Kim Kardashian was in the top spot, but it wasn’t for her Dancing with the Stars booty betrayal back that happened back in 2008.

A Lego Mistake!

Can you spot the mistake in these Lego instructions?  It’s a minor mistake in this year’s Christmas set, but you don’t see Lego mistakes very often.

Here’s the picture of the Lego set packaging.

Black Friday Means Frivolous Buys

Satiated with huge Thanksgiving meals, an active day with family and friends, then weary late night and early morning Black Friday shopping leads to frivolous purchases. And retailers know it, pushing items like this.
