You are already paid better than most service jobs. You get vacation, you get health care, you get tuition reimbursement... What more do you want? The machines do 99% of the work. You take orders and push a button or two. You do have to be on your feet for the full shift but you don't do hard labor.

From the post:

>Starbucks baristas at the company's West Alameda Avenue and South Federal Boulevard location in Denver filed for a union election Friday and on Saturday, baristas from across the Denver metro area are protesting outside another Denver location with a list of demands for the coffee giant. The baristas are organizing after Starbucks unions nationwide have made considerable gains over what workers describe as "unfair labor practices." It also comes at what the union says is Starbucks' busiest season.

Hah, more things in common then. I prefer cold brew, my wife does not. I use ice like crazy, she barely ever uses it unless she is having a rare mixed drink or something. I too eat Lemon raw (lime too). She thinks im nuts and my family always have too.

Even more funny, her dad get's it (my father in law). He uses ice like crazy and when his wife makes hot tea (in the pot) he lets it cool for a bit then pours it over a full glass of ice. Must be something about the area we grew up in or the culture.

Those lemon slices they give you for your water? Yeah, I would just eat them like it was a orange or something.

I like the hot tea on day's im not feeling great or when it is very cold outside (like -10F+).

Oh, and I put lemon juice in my lemon zinger along with the honey. I daily use lemon juice in my ice water while working too...

My wife gets embarrassed when I eat the water lemon. Funny enough, around my childhood house, we had grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes, kumquats, as well as tons of other fruit. It's LITERALLY the only thing I miss about that commy shithole: the citrus.

Recently, I've swapped up my lemon routine slightly. Used to eat them with straight salt. I've moved over to this cajun spice called Slap Ya Mama. Less salt, and it tastes like a crawfish boil. Tried other stuff like tajin before but it never hit right.

Sounds interesting, ill try it. I didn't grow up with any fruit trees around me. I am from the middle of the middle of no-where America and not one of the places that is good for growing fruit and is cold most of the year.

It was just a thing I did, I guess still do. My wife is not embarrassed about it though, she just knows that's how I am. Have you ever tried salt on watermelon? It's interesting.

Yes. My son goes full retard and actually uses MSG on watermelon, but that's too hard core for me. Salt actually helps a lot of different fruit though, not just watermelon. Apples, and pineapple both instantly come to mind.
