A sand pendulum that creates a beautiful pattern only by its movement.
But why does the ellipse change shape?
The pattern gets smaller because energy is not conserved (and in fact decreases) in the system. The mass in the pendulum gets smaller and the center of mass lowers as a function of time. Easy as that, an amazing pattern arises through the laws of physics.
this is so fucking funny like if u want ur drink earlier then come earlier dumb ass
that would be the smart thing to do instead of insulting starbucks on twitter cause someone ordered a caramel frappe and u got all in ur feels about it
That’s a cheaper drink, too. ‘Hey company, you should prioritize me because I spend less money at your establishment and feel superior to customers who order what your company is most known for’ Not likely to make much headway
But you’d think first maybe they’d be like ‘hey the workers are overtaxed and there should be another worker to take the strain off and make it go faster’, first, too.
If there’s only one barista, who’s running the express line?
Also, there kind of is an ‘express’ lane? It’s available to nice regular customers.
Genuinely. I learn the baristas’ names (they’ve all got name tags, it’s not hard), smile, if there’s no queue and they’re not super busy I’ll ask about how they’re doing, compliment the coffees (”Yeeeeah Eliza makes awesome lattes!”), and the only complaint I’ve ever made was: “Hey, er, there’s no caramel syrup in this.” “Oh! I’ll make you a new one.” “Can you just put the syrup in the top?” “That’s not how we make it. It’ll taste different.” “Babe it’s coffee I don’t care.”
If the person on the bar doesn’t have a line of drinks to make, mine starts getting made the second I walk in. If there’s a queue because there’s one person at the counter who hasn’t decided what they want, I get handed my coffee before I even ask for it. They’ve purposefully gone through the cups to get me a ‘winner’. They’ve given me a month’s worth of ‘free coffee’ vouchers, meant for their 100th customer of the year but the 8 people in before me weren’t polite. There was even one specific barista who charged me for small lattes, whilst making me large caramel lattes because she was proving her point that their chain were nicer than a competing chain.
Just be nice, and you’ll have less stuff to complain about. People generally want to help, don’t give them a reason not to.
Another note, Starbucks has an app that you can use to preorder your drink and come pick it up, it’ll be already done and waiting for you when you walk in the door. THAT is the express lane, and if dipshit chose to stand in a 45 minute line for his 4 dollar half coffee half ice he’s not just wrong, he’s stupid.
Ok but what the hell does this guy mean by ‘professional’ customer
Is yelling at Starbucks baristas their day job or smth?
Some people think buying a coffee = buying a coffeeshop. It’s like dude no you’re only entitled to coffee, not jumping the queue because you believe your time to be worth more than everyone around you.
