I left a note (I took a cookie. I couldn't not take a cookie -- ita). I won't go to cow-orker hell, will I?No. You won't go to cow-orker hell, because you left that note, which actually is adorable, and would have shamed me (and I'm an notoriously possessive of my cookies) for not offering you one, in the first place.
No hell for note leavers.
So say I.
I scream! Ice cream! For free! Free ice cream!
Starbucks offers free ice cream
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Starbucks Corp., whose sales growth has slowed in recent months, said Tuesday it would give away free ice cream at more than 6,000 of its U.S. coffee shops Wednesday afternoon.
The company said in a statement it is trying to generate interest in the Starbucks brand of ice cream, which it has been selling in grocery stores since 1995 as part of a joint venture with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream Holdings Inc.
And you might not believe this, but there is not a Starbucks within walking distance of where I work!
ita, the Polite Cookie Thief!
but no, not a shooting offense.
And you might not believe this, but there is not a Starbucks within walking distance of where I work!
Me neither. And I just realized this, but there isn't a Starbuck's on my route between home and work.
But I do have frozen yogurt at ghome, so all is not lost.
There's a Starbuck's not too far from me (you doubted?), but they aren't doing the promotion.
OTOH, Alpha Beta was giving away free Haagen-Dazs all last week, so I can't complain.
Huh. I just bopped down the street for some lunch, and two young women were handing out free flowers. Red roses, to be exact, no doubt to promote a flower shop.
I ended up with a rose on the way to the deli. I ordered my food. As he was packaging up my soup, register boy asked, "So, would you rather get free flowers on the street, or flowers from your boyfriend?"
I blinked at him in confusion for a couple of minutes in 'does not compute' mode. The question was problematic because the default assumption was that I a) cared, b) had a boyfriend, and c) liked flowers. For the sake of argument, let's pretend all of the above are true, but then, I'd still need more data. Are the flowers from said non-existent boyfriend for a happy occasion, or did he screw up? Did he get me my favorite flowers, or just generic flowers because that's what you do when you're in a relationship? I mean, I need to know these facts in order to evaluate the question properly!
And that's when I realized I was insane.
A week of free ice cream? That's fantastic. Every place should do that.
Anyone want to buy a used Honda Civic DX HB?
Me, assuming "DX HB" translates to "two-door."
Except I kind of already bought one this weekend.
It's very shiny and red.
Hi. I just read 900 posts, but then a kerfuffle started and I got skeered and forgot all I had read.
I want free ice cream! Maybe I'll see if the Starbucks by my house still has any by the time I get there. I love getting free stuff from stores I don't patronize.
Will kiwi fruits be OK in my desk drawer until I get home ~6, or should I put them in the fridge? The thing is, I'm afraid I'll forget them in the fridge.
