josie Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi. Everyone in warmer climes or on vacation, please note: this thread is NOT about you. At all. I didn't post when I was in the Caribbean, and inkman didn't post when he was in the fourth circle of Hell (warmer than Rochester, but less annoying than Dallas, if I remember my Dante). Let your braggadocio flow elsewhere and let us bitch, dammit! My boss has been sending us pictures of him on the beach again. At least this time he's there with a couple of my coworkers for GDC but still... Really got my hackles up. The man is on the beach endlessly and I haven't taken a vacation in years. Because he makes us feel guilty for taking vacation days. Which we don't have anyways. But on a happier note- the mercury looks like it'll be rising a bit in the coming week! Upper 40s, baby! Time to break out the sundresses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's March. That's definitely lion.Lion it is. Snowed 1st 5 days of the month and back down to single digits overnight. The flooding will come Tuesday or Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kr632 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I needed to vent. And need an opinion but don't know where to put it as its not really that important. Friend and I run a few concession stands and one of them is at chestnut ridge. We sell hot chocolate. Almost every person that buys a cup immediately tries to drink it and then gets mad because it is hot. I don't understand it. What is it supposed to be? We go through countless bags of ice because every one wants it in their cup. Guy bought a cup drank it immediately and yelled at our counter girl for 20 mins saying he didn't know it was going to be hot. I mean it's called HOT chocolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Start selling "iced chocolate" and "luke warm chocolate" and tell them they should've ordered one of those instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for that guy to yell, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I'm a grown-ass man and I still inescapably burn my tongue on any microwaved or oven-cooked pizza or pizza-like substance. And that's nobody's problem but my own. In this particular case, there's no right answer. Because if you try to go this route... Can't it be "hot" without burning through the tongue? ...you'll get complaints from some that it's not hot enough- and there's no easy way to fix that. Can't make everyone happy. The easiest solution is for people who want not-hot chocolate to literally chill out. Edited March 8, 2015 by IKnowPhysics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 If I'm not burning my tongue on a hot drink I'm disappointed. Nothing beats forced sipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if they're outside at Chestnut Ridge, they always can stick the cup in some snow for a couple of minutes, right? My solution was to not order hot chocolate anymore.

My solution was to not order hot chocolate anymore. you would think they could just put it in the snow for a min. We have sold hot chocolate at other places and never get complaints or have people ask for ice. Maybe it's the kids that want it cold. Had a guy earlier stick an icicle in it and demanded a refund after the icicle had something in it when it melted. Lol. I think it's just a lack of patience. I have noticed the "older" people (my age or older, I'm 28) don't ask for ice and just wait the 3-4 mins for it to cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh, just shell out for another hot chocolate brewer and set one on 'scalding death molten chocolate lava' and the other on 'just barely able to melt marshmallows.' That way everyone but you and your bottom line are happy. ;) Edited March 9, 2015 by Taro T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I am convinced that this winter will not end until Canada Day, maybe Natal Day. http://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/ns-19_metric_e.html This is on top (literally) of the 35cm (about 15 inches for you yanks) we got on Sunday.

MattPie Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) It's 58 here today (that's in our English measurements). I see it's 80 and 60% humidity in Miami, we're just getting to the season where Florida can keep that ###### for themselves.
