Yucky Starbucks…
I go to starbucks probably a lot… Enough that I get at least one of those survey receipts a week, once I got 4 or 5 in a week… The thing I’ve noticed is that I never get one of those surveys at a YUCKY Starbucks, but I’ve also noticed that I end up getting duplicate receipts at the yucky stores…
This store has to be the WORST starbucks on the planet, and I will NEVER return to this store again.
The person at the register was to busy chatting to what appeared to be an employee that had just stopped by, one person was acting busy polishing stainless steel, and avoiding eye contact to help. The “Barista” was clueless, I’ve had better drinks out of machines at WAWA….
I walked in the store at 3:14 there was 1 person ahead of me in line, and I walked out of the store at 3:22, seven minutes to get 3 drinks that all tasted like crap. I would have returned then, but I was headed home and wanted to beat the traffic, and from the employees attitude, I don’t think it would have helped….
High Speed, Low Drag
The solutions, or lack thereof that Verizon tried to provide, did not work out as planned. Things did get better, into the 1.2mbps, but that is less then half of the advertised speed.
So I go with the deal from Cox, the cable got hooked up on Monday as planned, and the Modem showed up on Tuesday. I was in D.C. on Tuesday, so I just did the initial setup when I got home, I know I was tired because I couldn’t figure out a latency issue when opening a web page, but once it opened, it was fast… When I got home today I took a quick look, and fixed the DNS issue that was causing the latency, and were hauling butt…
Verizon is so fired… At least until they get FIOS in my neighborhood….
The latest results from speedtest.net, and I know I am not getting T3 speed, but it looks much better then the results with verizon….
Well I guess if I had that speed down, I’d be really unhappy with 1.8mbps as my upload speed…
I think I’ll be happy for a while now…
LowKey Part II
After my previous post, I decided to look around, to see what others had to say about the LowKey, partly because I felt I was being to negative….
LowKey Stand…
Well this may sound a bit on the negative side, but I really do like the LowKey Stand from Macessity. The Design and concept is great…
