Vast majority of it is just cheap coffee labeled to be this and marked up for tourists / gift market. Have tried it, just tastes like cheap old coffee. It’s not something genuinely sought after by coniseurs.
That makes this even dumber. If it actually had a good taste i could sort of understand it, in a honey sort of way. Sounds like it’s just a silly novelty.
It’s always about the story. Same reason restaurants get 2 and 3 michelline stars. It’s about how pretentious and fancy you can make everything surrounding the meal and not about the meal itelsef.
I’ve eaten at a 2 star Michelin restaurant. It was definitely theater and not a meal. The Menu is one of the best dark humor movies I’ve ever seen because it’s honestly not that far off lol
One star restaurants are the way. They usually have been so focused on their cuisine at that point they haven’t yet become super pretensious. Plus you actually have a shot at getting a table at these.
Our third shift is all maintenance, no production, do they do their preventative stuff and nothing really happens. 1st comes in to a well lubricated factory, promptly fucks everything up and passes their problems on to second.
Here’s one I know a few of you will be familiar with: 1st breaks a machine and can’t run product leaving it for night. Night fixes the machine and runs the orders but has to re-break the machine before 1st comes in or risk getting fired for fixing it and being productive.
Call them on the telephone, and tell a human you would like to make a reservation. Telephone voice calls still work at every restaurant in my region. Also, get this, you can place take out orders that way at most places! It’s an amazing technology!
even worse is any deals are on downloaded apps. F that. The only good effect for me with that is its an effective way to identify and avoid corporate type institutions as they are top in using it.
You should vocalize it to the owner (or at least management) if you can. You’d be surprised what comes of it.
I did this once with a restaurant/bar owner, and she was very understanding. Once I took the time to explain how I didn’t wanna be subjected to everything that a setup like that brings, she empathized and actually got a standalone website.
Many people aren’t aware until you make em aware. And whether they feel the same or not from a consumer standpoint, at least they’ll know that there’s people out there who do care, and it affects business. And usually, if it affects business, it doesn’t matter what their personal feelings towards it are. A good business owner will be sure to adjust because they learned something new about the market.
That’s literally every place with more than 1 shift or department, it’s easy to blame coworkers instead of management for running an understaffed and undertrained op
It’s because certain jurisdictions require companies to not allow access to potential 18+ content without getting consent and the user saying they are over 18. If there isn’t an age selection then in their T&Cs it’ll likely have something saying that creating an account confirms you are over 18.
You could just use a popup that says “Are you over 18 and willing to see NFSW content?” like most NSFW website do, but I guess that doenst generate enough money unlike forcing accounts does.
That’s not always the case because signing up and accepting a T&C makes it more binding of the user to say they are who they say they are. If they aren’t, then it’s close to fraud. Having just a “are you over” screen is not enough, since the user can easily lie and the company can get done for not having enough measures in place to stop that from happening.
I know in the end it’s all futile anyway because of many reasons. But for companies it’s checking off a box that gets a governing body off their back and making sure they have the right certifications to do what they need/want to do.
Since when does a reddit account require me to submit ID proving I am indeed 18+? I literally see no difference in reliability between requiring an account where one claims to be 18+ and a banner where one has to claim to be 18+. In both scenario’s you are relying 100% on user input.
Also the difference is in legislation, business certifications and responsibility.
Like I also said, in the end these measures don’t matter to end result of the user (other than now needing to make an account, but still able to lie through it) but they do matter when a company wants to work with another that require all of its partners to have specific certifications and whatnot.
