Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you want a frappuccino or not? It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm one more.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Or do you say frappy? I don't say frappy. It's
like pee, don't crappy. I don't say frappy or shardy.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I've known one guy who said shardi and.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Could pull it off.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Is a unique guy.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It takes a certain sort of person. Yeah, yeah, yes,
that was taking me a second. Okay, got it? Do
uh is this first one? Need any set up here,
Michael before we get to the uh frappuccino?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Now, let me just I'll explain it a little bit.
Just a couple goes into a Starbucks and.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
No, we're doing the other one. Man.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh I am sorry, No, this one doesn't actually Okay,
here we go.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
There are definitely two opinions about grandmother showers. Opinion one,
grandmother showers are a lovely way to welcome a friend
or coworker into their new role. Opinion too, granny showers
are inappropriate and tacky gift grabs. So which is it?
If a group of coworkers gets together and has a
lunch where they celebrate someone becoming a new grandmother, it's
(01:13):
a lovely way to welcome somebody to this new stage
of life. But when the grandmother shower rivals the shower
for the actual parents, that's where it crosses a line.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
That's grandmother's shower etiquette. We talked about the grandmother's shower
becoming a thing last week. I've been complaining, partially because
it's ended the school year's season of just there's too
many celebrations now events, too many events.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Everybody is supposed to go to all of them. A
six year old's birthday party? Is that excuse for forty
adults to get together or whatever?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The gathering that happened near me the other day for
some girl because she's getting out of fifth grade? So
has everybody got a Am I a bad person if
I don't go? Great? You got up high school graduation,
big deal, all the other ones for you and your family.
Do whatever you want, But I ain't coming.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah with gifts too, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And gifts. Is it a gift crap or all these
gift grap I think it's I think it's the whole
extroverts rule of the world thing. Any reason to get
together and have a celebration and put on fancy clothes
and stand around and talk and drink any from more
than merry or noting. No, your kid moved on from
eighth grade, fantastic. I ain't coming to your house now.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Granted I'm a bitter missing thrope and have been for
you know, practically my entire life. But the idea that
all of my parents' friends should gather and celebrate me
graduating from high school, why that's what I was supposed
to do. I showed up to class, I got decent grades.
They gave me a diploma which I'll never look at again.
Why are we having a party. It's like a giant Look,
(02:45):
Joe isn't an f up party. Look he did it?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah. I My son played in the band for the
seniors graduating for his high school. They played pomp and
circumstance over and over again, like you do when you're
in the band. But I pulled up to pick him up,
and the crowd there because the graduating classes is a
small schools like the same size as my graduating class,
(03:09):
and there were five times as many people there, so
it just extended family more. Just you gotta treat it
that way. I guess when when I graduated, I think
it was mostly just Mountain's dads. So you got any students,
you got one hundred and sixty parents.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You go on your way, giant celebration for everything, for
every most of the grindstone. Just do what you're supposed
to do. Yeah, anyway, but again I think you nailed it.
Extraverse rule of world.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, they figured out that gender reveal parties can be
a thing, another reason for a party. Not just the
husband and wife on their own, get the news and
maybe clink glasses or something. I don't know, but make
a party out of it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Introverts of the world unite. But I can't make it
that night.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I can't be there either send me a text or
don't know it goes. So this one you can set
up here. What's the Starbucks situation? Michael?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
The Starbucks situation is a couple goes into Starbucks, and
so it's a husband and wife and the husband has
a medical emergency and it gets handled very poorly.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, I could have possibly blacked out.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It could have had a more dramatic impact on my body.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
My kidneys could have possibly just shut down.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
And he just started sweating. He's like, I don't feel well.
He started leaning over and then he started vomiting. I
was frantic. I think I was crying at that point.
The employee looked at me and was like, you need
to get in line. And then I repeated what I said.
I'm like, well, my husband he's in kiddy so you
we just need ice water quickly. And he looked at
me again and was like, you need to get in line.
(04:43):
Starbucks had a decision that day to pick policy or humanity,
and they chose policy.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Wow. Uh, that's well, there might be some might be
on some of the training, but you got a poor
employee there who would not hand an ice water to
the person who who says, on having kidney failure.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I will be standing for the defense in a moment. Yes, certainly,
that's my husband right there. He's in stage four kidney failure.
I just need water fast for him. You need to
get in line. But my husband, he's in kidney failure.
We just need to ice water quickly. You need to
get in line. H nightmarish, terrible bad employee. On the
(05:24):
other hand.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
They sell bottled water there. I would have just grabbed
a bottle of water and given it to him.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's what I'm be right back. Yeah, uh yeah. On
the one hand. He seems like a monster. He seems
like an inhuman monster, a bitter human being, a shadow
of a human. Really, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
But I need to point out he got that way
by dealing with the public, who probably constantly cut in
line and lie. And you deal with the public for
(05:53):
ten minutes. Man, you hate him.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It's like the third person that day that told him
they're having kidney failure. He's not doing this, I say.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Jest, ladies and gentlemen of the joy that he was
driven to that, apparently, and human behavior by the India,
you made behavior of the public.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, get behind the lady who says she's got eye
cancer and the other gun one who's got pancreatic cancer.
And I'll get you your stuff as I can, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And I heard on the radio it was fifty percent
off for grandmothers today.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
What get in line? My coffee's too hot.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
My coffee is too cold.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Everybody shut up. I have never done a public job, really.
I worked at a hardware store for a while, but
I mostly sorted nails and assembled ceiling fans. I've never
really had a job where you worked with the public.
And I've been told before. If that's in fact, I
(06:48):
had a someone say to me one time, that's why
you are the way you are, that I would be
a much better person if I'd ever had one job
where I worked at the public which might be true.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So after being turned away at Starbucks and Elisa, which
is the wife, ran into Capital One Cafe and an
employee acted quickly to get a cup of ice water. Okay,
so that went well. So of course, the head of
retail bank Channels in Operations at Capital One has made
a statement, Charst and foremost, we're glad the person facing
(07:21):
a medical emergency is doing much better. We're proud of
the way our Capital One Cafe ambassadors handle themselves each
and every day. Doing the right thing is one of
our Capital one values, and we believe that shows up
in the work we do day in and day a.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Parent Bank one Trust, we take kidney failure seriously and
anybody needing liquid will always get it and a good
interest rate on their home at Bank One Trust or
whatever we're called.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to open up
accounts for people who didn't ask for them and charge
them fees. Actually, I have no evidence that capital one
ever engaged in any activity anything like that.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Who did that? That was Wells Fargo, Right, Wells Fargo.
Oh my god, mean file back.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's Starbucks, okay, for they just as soon kick in
a face is give you a sip of water.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Sam Jeffries with Starbucks Media Starbucks Media Relations sent this statement.
We've been in touch with this customer over the past
few weeks to listen, apologize, and make this right, and
we hope to welcome them back to a store of
their choice to give them the Starbucks experience they should expect.
As we continue to train our partners on the new
(08:27):
code of conduct we're working to ensure blah blah, great
experience blah blah, communicate openly blah, kindness blah consideration blah
outside of our policies blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
All the poor baristas that are now are going to
get some sort of long training where actors. I've got
kidney failure. What should Madison do when she finds out
a customer has kidney failure? A mock him, B, get
him a nice cold water, or c tell them to
get back in line.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I'm saying, hey, get a kidney. I'm sorry that answer
was incorrect. You need to retake this module.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Way to have bad kidneys? What what I said, Well,
I guess that's it.
Do you want a frappuccino or not? It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm one more.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Or do you say frappy? I don't say frappy. It's
like pee, don't crappy. I don't say frappy or shardy.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I've known one guy who said shardi and.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Could pull it off.
