Oh my god the first story is so frustrating! I'm so happy to hear that OP and their colleagues actually ask the right questions, people neglect fish care far too often, they need more than you'd first think and each species is unique.
I think exotic fish are cool but I never want to deal with the hassle of maintaining a saltwater aquarium. When I was a kid we had an aquarium that we filled with aquatic creatures we scooped out of the creek behind my parents house: a crayfish, minnows, snails, mussels, etc. We also had a few aquatic plants in there that we gathered from the creek/pond as well. Everything in there was quite common and hardy, very easy to take care of, and still fun to watch.
That first story was my life. I worked the same job as OP and the only saving grace from idiots like Karen was that our GM actually trusted us to refuse a sale if we thought the animal would be mistreated/endangered.
Yeah, but that is only considering that the person gives the starfish time to play in it new water while still in the bag, not tears bag open and plops it on in too early as they must likely would have done. Poor wittle starfish had a very bad day, luckly people at those places care that they don't die.
Yeah, I’ve never kept saltwater, only freshwater tropical, but it was pretty easy to tell that this was the equivalent of someone insisting on putting a goldfish in bowl or putting 5 cichlids in an uncycled, brand new 5-gallon tank with no filer, heater, hides, etc. I was raging.
i'll admit i was disappointed that i had to let the tank cycle for two weeks before i could add fish, but i did it and got all the equipment they suggested. my brother is even better at it and actually had a prize-winning angelfish he had to send to japan for the judging. i was amazed that that could even be done.
I don't have an aquarium, and even I know you don't fill up a glass-tank and throw in the fishes... Where's the oxygen coming from? And uneaten food will deposit on the bottom, you need to change water regularly etc. etc. She was just ready to plop the tank into a corner, turn on the tap-water, chuck in the salt and the fish, and call it a day.

Everytime I see a fish in a tiny tank with nothing but some colorful gravel and a fake plant, I think about how, if that was a dog or cat being forced to live it's whole life in a tiny room with just a blanket, food, and water and nothing else, people would absolutely loose their minds, but for some reason when it's a fish, people don't care. It makes me sick to my stomach. Some people seem to see any animal that isn't a dog or cat as disposible and it's disgusting

I once put a teddy bear in our fish tank. Obviously all the fish died and the teddy bear was ruined. In my defense, I was like 4 years old and I loved the fished so much I wanted to give them the most precious thing I owned, my teddy.
@@artykeldeo It was a very sweet gesture of ultimate fish annihilation from a small boy who loved animals with all his heart.

To the last story: Some people, sometimes actually hide in case of an fire alarm, instead of running for their lifes. (wtf is wrong with them?) Because of that, firefighters search every corner of a building. And they find people... dead and hidden in closets for example. You will suffocate there if the smoke gets to you. Just get out of the building if you hear the alarm. Nothing else but leaving.
@Lemon Demon because panic won't solve the problem. You can fall down the stairs, get run over by others.. The teacher knows what's to do and where to go. So its the best decision to stay calm and walk slowly. Me saying "run for your life" in the original comment is a bit missleadig...
seriously, im having fishtanks for over ten years now and it allways baffles me to see that people think they can just throw fish and water in a bucket and - boom - fishtank. these turds really make my blood boil!
In the early 2000's I was working at a fine dining restaurant, a party of 9 with 4 children come in. They were a nightmare complaining about everything, the food, me not being attentive enough, even the way I sat a plate down. Their bill came out to $98.97 and they asked for change. I was making waitstaff minimum wage $2.13 an hour.
Yeah that sounds about right. I remember a table of 7 doing that to me. Another spent near 200 on booze, meals, and apps and left a big 0. And people wonder why servers get surly.
I hate the people that insist a betta will be fine in a bowl or a vase because "in the wild they live in puddles the size of a heel print." Umm, no they don’t. In the wild they live in vast rice paddies. And even if they did, wouldn’t you want to give them the most ideal conditions in captivity, not "barely survivable" conditions? A human can technically survive in 6’ by 6’ by 6’ cell for many years. But it’s not ideal. But for a lot of people, when you point all this out, they say "why does it matter? It’s just a fish! If it dies, I’ll buy a new one!" IT MATTERS TO THE FREAKING FISH!! It’s "just a fish" but it’s still a living creature that you’ve decided to take on the care of! Do it right!
When people point out that we sell and display them in cups, I remind them that 1) it’s meant to be temporary (most sell in a few days) and 2) we change the water EVERY MORNING. You can torture your fish if you want to put in a ton of work. Or with $50 (our stuff was cheap) and some basic knowledge, you can ensure a healthy, long lived beautiful fish that can “greet” you (keep in mind, a rare betta can sell for $30, so $50 is hardly an investment)
As a pet store manager I can confirm that the starfish thing happens all the time and not just with fish....people really don’t understand how much work and money taking care of an animal is...even just cats anddogs... Also some people don’t even consider fish animals. They are like home decor....
As someone who actually owns a FRESH WATER fish tank, I appreciate OP looking out for the starfish’s well - fair! I love the Mocha frappochinos that you get at the grocery store..
Here in Italy, the Italian name of the Dunnock is “Passera scopaiola”. Its literal translation in English would roughly be “Fucking (as in “who has or likes to have lots of sex”) female songbird”. The name actually came from the fact that it likes to make its nest next to the pants of heater, in particular the specie of heater whose scientific name is Erica scoparia, but that is definitely not what someone would think hearing the word “scopaiola”. It has even an higher level of double sense because “passera” can also be used as a rude name for “vagina” (as “pussy” in English can mean female cat or be a slang for vagina). I’m not sure if in any other language there is an animal name topping THAT.
For many years in my early childhood my parents had fish in a nicely sized tank. Taking care of freshwater fish was a tedious process and required filters/specific grounds/temperature/etc. I can’t even begin to imagine the process for salt water tanks
About the starfish story: If OP had sold the starfish to her, that lady would have been back in the store the very next day. Threatening with a lawsuit for selling her a "defective starfish" whose demise has traumatized her child for life!!!
@@DVine13 Yeah it was just a busy day, I was out riding roller coasters all day and had to save my phone battery. I usually alternate between the podcast and youtube
9:50 - similar experience but i'm a more vendetta based individual. At one point casually asked him what restaurant he worked at so I can see how its done - then promptly - while they were eating - contacted his boss to let them know how his staff mistreated industry in their name. He called and came in like 4 times on my days off to complain - my guess is he lost his job.
I've worked at lots of different pet stores, some small business, some corporations. I can promise you that the corporations do NOT care about the lives of the animals they sell. Nor do they know how to care for them. That means that almost all of the customers that come in are just like that Karen AND get what they want
Mika, I worked for a chain pet store for years and can absolutely confirm that corporate only wants to make money. HOWEVER, with the right employees and managers you can still have a decent store. There were two major chains in our town. One was known to be sketchy and ours was the best in our region. The difference was due to our GM who was actually an awesome boss and our pet manager who actually knew how to care for animals. Whenever corporate made a decision, we knew we’d have to sort out the mess. But, we were given a ton of autonomy. If we could explain to a manager that something was best for the animals, we were given the go ahead, even if it meant refusing a sale. We never met our cleaning suggested timeline because we were thorough. We had the best customer interaction evaluation because we took time to educate customers and walk them through the items - just because corporate makes us place a bunch of garbage on the shelves doesn’t mean we’d sell it. And if you could do it better or cheaper (but just as good) another way, we’d suggest that.
This is exactly why I'm so glad people are more strict on selling live animals. People should have much more consideration before they get pets. It's exactly why I got a jumping spider instead of an axolotl. Lower maintenance, but still a cute little face. Poor starfish might not have even lived a week.
One thing that keeps coming up in these kind of stories that confuses me. If some of these people work in service industries why are they treating their servers/hotel desk clerks/tech support/etc as if they're slaves? They supposedly know what it feels like and they're STILL being rude? They're either liars or hypocrites... Or both.
If you run away from a fire and hide in a cupboard and are older than 6, it's just natural selection. Checking if people are stuck is one thing, doing a massive game of hide and seek is another.
Rslash: *Doesn't like the name of the starfish Me: I think it's a good name, what's wrong with it *Searches up starfish and goes to images Me: …You sure that ain't a s'more or a roasted marshmallow?
Props to the pet store which tries to make sure their animals go to decent homes I have fish tanks, and I know that that person would have killed that starfish in likely less than 24 hours
I used to get a hot chocolate from them when I was at the train station, then I bought a thermos cup and now I just heat chocolate milk at home and take that along 🤣
My son got a water turtle from our neighbor for Christmas, he had no idea how much work comes along with it. Needless to say he's done such a fine job. They are expensive but he's a great caretaker.
If that guy had really worked at a restaurant for any length of time he would already know what happens to rude customers and would have kept his moronic mouth shut.
@@Lycanthromancer1 Fuck those kids. No starfish for them. And if Karen brings her mistakes in, I'll tell them they can't have it because they have a bad mommy who wants to kill the starfish.
I only go to Starbucks if I have to travel somewhere by train, and then I just ask for a white mocha with whipped cream,, if I would have to ask for anything fancier I'd crash and the only thing coming from my mouth would be windows dialup noises

imagine if we talked about adopting animals like how some people talk about adopting fish. "oh, this great dane was in a cage at the store but now hes much more happier living in my closet"
Yeah no a 55 gallon checks out. Saltwater animals need A LOT of space. The best way to think of it is imagining if there were a species of mouse that need the whole length of a typical elephant enclosure to be happy.
With that building manager, he put those workers' health in danger too! That's a recipe for pneumonia right there, staying out in the cold and wet for Lord knows how long! If I got pneumonia and had to be hospitalized, I'd sue for negligence and get my bills covered.
My coffee is Dunkin', lg iced, 1 toasted almond, 1 coconut shots, 1 mocha, 2 cream, 6 sugar. Because they discontinued candy bar flavors. My Dunkin knows the order and my car. I rarely wait on drinks and it's rarely wrong anymore. Id be lost at starbucks.
Double double with milk for my coffee! I've been getting my coffee at this particular coffee shop (Tim Hortons, of course) for many years. In fact, I have an anecdote for it. I started at my current job around 10 years ago, and when I did I worked with the IT manager who soon started buying a coffee in the morning for me. I returned the favor by buying them for the afternoon. Each time, a recycled paper tray resulted. Now, I did not have a garbage can at the time, as my position was new (their first and only programmer) and the spot I was sitting in wasn't a usual station. So, I piled up my trays. The pile continued to grow, day by day, until I just started using it as a footrest. As the months passed, it became a bit of a running joke so I didn't throw them away. I soon couldn't use it as a footrest any more without it being considered yoga. As the months turned into years, and as I was shuffled to various locations of the office, so came my now towering stack of recycled paper coffee cup traps. I am now currently in a refurbished warehouse section at the office with very high ceilings. The tower stands at least 10+ feet high, as a fun little conversation piece for anyone new to the office.
Don't forget Cuban. That was an eye opener when I moved to FL, never even heard of it before then but now I love it. And then there is Turkish of course.
@@wingracer1614 I recently had the opportunity to try cuban, which is mild but yum.... Turkish is no good / tried it in Turkey and also in Germany / sorry but no.
lmao I work at a coffee shop so the story about the coffee shop made my day 🤣 ours aren't presets but we have super sweet drinks and when I try to explain that everyone is confused and get annoyed when THEY don't listen 🙄🙄

A friend once tried to set up a saltwater tank, they did it months before planning on getting fish. They problems the entire time, every time they fixed one problem a new one would be found, after running for a year with no fish they gave up and converted to fresh water.
I’ve been an aquarium hobbyist for almost 4 years now and am only just now starting to figure out saltwater tanks, and even with my years of experience in aquarium keeping, it’s hard. I can only imagine being so completely clueless that you actually think you can put a fricken starfish in a tiny aquarium set up that you just put up the same day and truly believing you’ll be able to keep it alive. This lady is more clueless than a toddler on this entire subject, I’m so happy that the store associates didn’t just give it to her no questions asked.
I'm with you R/Slash, I'm not a coffee drinker and have never been to Starbucks. But my preferred poison is Hot Chocolate. My wife developed our own dry mix and I have bought over 125 lbs of cocoa powder in the last six years. No, I don't have a problem. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!

Some people, sometimes actually hide in case of an fire alarm, instead of running for their lifes. (wtf is wrong with them?)
Because of that, firefighters search every corner of a building.
And they find people... dead and hidden in closets for example. You will suffocate there if the smoke gets to you. Just get out of the building if you hear the alarm. Nothing else but leaving.
Ah yes lets hide from fire something that cant see or think
Its like hiding from a rock
It's not the fire warden's job to put himself at risk to locate them.
@@ohexenwahno5652its definitely not.
@Lemon Demon because panic won't solve the problem. You can fall down the stairs, get run over by others.. The teacher knows what's to do and where to go. So its the best decision to stay calm and walk slowly.
Me saying "run for your life" in the original comment is a bit missleadig...
seriously, im having fishtanks for over ten years now and it allways baffles me to see that people think they can just throw fish and water in a bucket and - boom - fishtank. these turds really make my blood boil!
In the early 2000's I was working at a fine dining restaurant, a party of 9 with 4 children come in. They were a nightmare complaining about everything, the food, me not being attentive enough, even the way I sat a plate down. Their bill came out to $98.97 and they asked for change. I was making waitstaff minimum wage $2.13 an hour.
Yeah that sounds about right. I remember a table of 7 doing that to me.
Another spent near 200 on booze, meals, and apps and left a big 0.
And people wonder why servers get surly.
As someone who works at PetSmart this first story makes me hurt. Like people are this bad and sometimes worse.
I hate the people that insist a betta will be fine in a bowl or a vase because "in the wild they live in puddles the size of a heel print."
Umm, no they don’t. In the wild they live in vast rice paddies. And even if they did, wouldn’t you want to give them the most ideal conditions in captivity, not "barely survivable" conditions? A human can technically survive in 6’ by 6’ by 6’ cell for many years. But it’s not ideal.
But for a lot of people, when you point all this out, they say "why does it matter? It’s just a fish! If it dies, I’ll buy a new one!"
IT MATTERS TO THE FREAKING FISH!! It’s "just a fish" but it’s still a living creature that you’ve decided to take on the care of! Do it right!
When people point out that we sell and display them in cups, I remind them that 1) it’s meant to be temporary (most sell in a few days) and 2) we change the water EVERY MORNING. You can torture your fish if you want to put in a ton of work. Or with $50 (our stuff was cheap) and some basic knowledge, you can ensure a healthy, long lived beautiful fish that can “greet” you (keep in mind, a rare betta can sell for $30, so $50 is hardly an investment)
As a pet store manager I can confirm that the starfish thing happens all the time and not just with fish....people really don’t understand how much work and money taking care of an animal is...even just cats anddogs...
Also some people don’t even consider fish animals. They are like home decor....
Not to mention carnival prize/gift bag gold fish. You can’t just shove them in a bowl of tap water.😖
The lady in the first story is the one that gets an aquarium setup, and days later comes back to the store demanding a refund because her fish died
20 shots of espresso? How are they alive? I can't get 1 without feeling like I'm about to have a heart attack! Lol
As someone who actually owns a FRESH WATER fish tank, I appreciate OP looking out for the starfish’s well - fair!
I love the Mocha frappochinos that you get at the grocery store..
I would've checked on every single one of my other tables before complying with "step back and approach us again," even if complying maliciously.
I thought that's what OP was gonna do
Rslash: “chocolate chip starfish? Out of all the names in the animal kingdom that’s the worst”
Tit bird: “are we a joke to you?”
Here in Italy, the Italian name of the Dunnock is “Passera scopaiola”. Its literal translation in English would roughly be “Fucking (as in “who has or likes to have lots of sex”) female songbird”. The name actually came from the fact that it likes to make its nest next to the pants of heater, in particular the specie of heater whose scientific name is Erica scoparia, but that is definitely not what someone would think hearing the word “scopaiola”. It has even an higher level of double sense because “passera” can also be used as a rude name for “vagina” (as “pussy” in English can mean female cat or be a slang for vagina).
I’m not sure if in any other language there is an animal name topping THAT.
For many years in my early childhood my parents had fish in a nicely sized tank.
Taking care of freshwater fish was a tedious process and required filters/specific grounds/temperature/etc. I can’t even begin to imagine the process for salt water tanks
About the starfish story:
If OP had sold the starfish to her, that lady would have been back in the store the very next day.
Threatening with a lawsuit for selling her a "defective starfish" whose demise has traumatized her child for life!!!
20 shots of espresso is a great way to flirt with deadly heart and kidney disease.
I went on vacation for a single day and I'm already suffering from "rSlash Withdrawal" so I'll have to watch even more episodes today.
You can listen on any podcast platform, the same audio as the videos.
@@DVine13 Yeah it was just a busy day, I was out riding roller coasters all day and had to save my phone battery. I usually alternate between the podcast and youtube
Wow! What a nice guy to come in and apologize! Maybe he was just having a bad day.
I had to look out the starfish picture and let me say OMG she is so cute.
At least the biker guy had an actual apology and not just a "I’m sorry now give me want" apology.
I heard "chocolate chip starfish" and I was like, "damn, what kind of shop is this?!"
Chocolate Starfish is an actual animal! I thought it's just a Limp Bizkit album...
Same..... and now I am wondering if there is some odd story about one if them drinking fishtank water. Lmao
My wife is also Chinese and we drink so much Chinese tea we have a tea room with the tea table and everything.
20 shots of espresso???? Is that human trying to give himself a heart attack?!!???!?
"There's not a cup of coffee that can compete with authentic Chinese tea."
"I don't drink coffee."
????????????????????????????????????????
Tea… shiz bro I don’t drink anything to help me in the morning I just get up get ready go to work come home do my thing go to bed repeat
9:50 - similar experience but i'm a more vendetta based individual. At one point casually asked him what restaurant he worked at so I can see how its done - then promptly - while they were eating - contacted his boss to let them know how his staff mistreated industry in their name. He called and came in like 4 times on my days off to complain - my guess is he lost his job.
I'm glad we bigfoots don't have to worry about bosses out here in the woods
rSlash: "Chocolate chip starfish is the most ridiculous name."
Bony-eared assfish: "Am I a joke to you?!"
Lmao
If he thinks chocolate starfish is a dumb name then wait until he finds out about moutain chickens
I'm sorry, WHAT?! 🤯
I just looked that up... That's not even a chicken. It's a type of frog of all things.
Maybe it sounds like a chicken?
Ngl I was expecting that waiter to go with “what can I get you ladies today?” And have a nice day ma’am” just to mess with him.
I've worked at lots of different pet stores, some small business, some corporations. I can promise you that the corporations do NOT care about the lives of the animals they sell. Nor do they know how to care for them. That means that almost all of the customers that come in are just like that Karen AND get what they want
Mika, I worked for a chain pet store for years and can absolutely confirm that corporate only wants to make money. HOWEVER, with the right employees and managers you can still have a decent store.
There were two major chains in our town. One was known to be sketchy and ours was the best in our region. The difference was due to our GM who was actually an awesome boss and our pet manager who actually knew how to care for animals. Whenever corporate made a decision, we knew we’d have to sort out the mess. But, we were given a ton of autonomy. If we could explain to a manager that something was best for the animals, we were given the go ahead, even if it meant refusing a sale. We never met our cleaning suggested timeline because we were thorough. We had the best customer interaction evaluation because we took time to educate customers and walk them through the items - just because corporate makes us place a bunch of garbage on the shelves doesn’t mean we’d sell it. And if you could do it better or cheaper (but just as good) another way, we’d suggest that.
This is exactly why I'm so glad people are more strict on selling live animals. People should have much more consideration before they get pets. It's exactly why I got a jumping spider instead of an axolotl. Lower maintenance, but still a cute little face.
Poor starfish might not have even lived a week.
me watching rSlash videos after a long hiatus
"I wonder if he's recently uploaded anything."
This video: uploaded 38 minutes ago.
"...well then."
By not selling the starfish they were saving it from being abused. XD
"There's nothing that can compete with authentic chinese tea, I have a cup every day while I make rSlash videos"
I love my wife gang rise up
Honestly props to the biker dude for actually apologizing. I'm glad he eventually got the drink he wanted!
One thing that keeps coming up in these kind of stories that confuses me. If some of these people work in service industries why are they treating their servers/hotel desk clerks/tech support/etc as if they're slaves? They supposedly know what it feels like and they're STILL being rude? They're either liars or hypocrites... Or both.
If you run away from a fire and hide in a cupboard and are older than 6, it's just natural selection. Checking if people are stuck is one thing, doing a massive game of hide and seek is another.
Rslash: *Doesn't like the name of the starfish
Me: I think it's a good name, what's wrong with it
*Searches up starfish and goes to images
Me: …You sure that ain't a s'more or a roasted marshmallow?
sorry but..... do you know what a chocolate starfish actually is? not a chocolate chip one?
@@syltwee I went to images, to me It looks like a marshmallow over the fire but maybe I was looking at the wrong image...can you tell me just in case?
Props to the pet store which tries to make sure their animals go to decent homes
I have fish tanks, and I know that that person would have killed that starfish in likely less than 24 hours
I have never been to Starbucks,and never will, I'll take a cup of green tea any time...🍵
I used to get a hot chocolate from them when I was at the train station, then I bought a thermos cup and now I just heat chocolate milk at home and take that along 🤣
@@velvety2006 I usually bring a 20 oz thermos of mint tea with me when I go out for more than just a short trip. It's so good lol
@@CaTastrophy427 I just realized at some point how expensive it was and that I could save money if I just took hot chocolate from home.
Actually, the worst animal name is a "Mountain Chicken". The best part is that it's a frog.
Ah yes. The "you played yourself" subreddit
My son got a water turtle from our neighbor for Christmas, he had no idea how much work comes along with it. Needless to say he's done such a fine job. They are expensive but he's a great caretaker.
Good on him! Turtles have the dirtiest tanks.
@@Robynhoodlum yes they do. They smell when cleaning out the tank is absolutely HORRID!
@@Robynhoodlum Thank you.

This is why we don't let Fred Durst name anything....
Lmao. 🤣🤣
Maybe the album title has to do with the flavor of its tank water. 🤔😂😂
Story 1: Not sorry to say Karen that I care more about this starfish's life than your kids' happiness.
I doubt the kids will be happy with a dead starfish.
@@Lycanthromancer1 Fuck those kids. No starfish for them. And if Karen brings her mistakes in, I'll tell them they can't have it because they have a bad mommy who wants to kill the starfish.
I only go to Starbucks if I have to travel somewhere by train, and then I just ask for a white mocha with whipped cream,, if I would have to ask for anything fancier I'd crash and the only thing coming from my mouth would be windows dialup noises
Fun fact too: Uranus is mostly a gas planet.
It's entire existence is a joke.
As somebody who worked at a coffee shop, coffee does have its own language

My thoughts went to this album title..... and now am wondering if there is some crazy story behind it, about someone drinking fishtank water, or something. Lmao. 😂😂
imagine if we talked about adopting animals like how some people talk about adopting fish. "oh, this great dane was in a cage at the store but now hes much more happier living in my closet"
Perfect timing, I was just opening your channel to see any new videos
Yeah no a 55 gallon checks out. Saltwater animals need A LOT of space.
The best way to think of it is imagining if there were a species of mouse that need the whole length of a typical elephant enclosure to be happy.
Man I'm still watching yesterdays rSlash, once I'm done with that, onto another!
With that building manager, he put those workers' health in danger too! That's a recipe for pneumonia right there, staying out in the cold and wet for Lord knows how long! If I got pneumonia and had to be hospitalized, I'd sue for negligence and get my bills covered.
My coffee is Dunkin', lg iced, 1 toasted almond, 1 coconut shots, 1 mocha, 2 cream, 6 sugar. Because they discontinued candy bar flavors. My Dunkin knows the order and my car. I rarely wait on drinks and it's rarely wrong anymore. Id be lost at starbucks.
Yumm almond joy 😋
I just imagine them calling sister shops, like :
"dodge, dodge, dodge ! KAREN INCOMING!"
Coffee is coffee it doesn't need to be fancy to be good and that's why you don't go to fancy places
Double double with milk for my coffee! I've been getting my coffee at this particular coffee shop (Tim Hortons, of course) for many years. In fact, I have an anecdote for it.
I started at my current job around 10 years ago, and when I did I worked with the IT manager who soon started buying a coffee in the morning for me. I returned the favor by buying them for the afternoon. Each time, a recycled paper tray resulted. Now, I did not have a garbage can at the time, as my position was new (their first and only programmer) and the spot I was sitting in wasn't a usual station. So, I piled up my trays.
The pile continued to grow, day by day, until I just started using it as a footrest. As the months passed, it became a bit of a running joke so I didn't throw them away. I soon couldn't use it as a footrest any more without it being considered yoga.
As the months turned into years, and as I was shuffled to various locations of the office, so came my now towering stack of recycled paper coffee cup traps. I am now currently in a refurbished warehouse section at the office with very high ceilings. The tower stands at least 10+ feet high, as a fun little conversation piece for anyone new to the office.
As i Brit i can now say i approve of this channel as Rslash drinks his daily dose of tea
I just love how he laughed and had to read the same line again 🤣
Starbucks is too expensive but not even half the Quality of fresh Italian /Portuguese/Spanish /Greek/ Iranian coffee ☕️
Don't forget Cuban. That was an eye opener when I moved to FL, never even heard of it before then but now I love it.
And then there is Turkish of course.
@@wingracer1614 I recently had the opportunity to try cuban, which is mild but yum....
Turkish is no good / tried it in Turkey and also in Germany / sorry but no.

Now I want to Google "chocolate starfish" to see what it looks like. But I'm too scared :)
I look it up (chocolate chip starfish) and it's looks like it. If you look up chocolate starfish it's a British slang.
It looks like star shaped chocolate chip cookie
lmao I work at a coffee shop so the story about the coffee shop made my day 🤣 ours aren't presets but we have super sweet drinks and when I try to explain that everyone is confused and get annoyed when THEY don't listen 🙄🙄
Time to get up instead of laying in bed waiting for you to post

A friend once tried to set up a saltwater tank, they did it months before planning on getting fish. They problems the entire time, every time they fixed one problem a new one would be found, after running for a year with no fish they gave up and converted to fresh water.
Salt water is hard. Especially “smaller” tanks. The ocean is a massive ecosystem that can’t be easily replicated in a tiny tank.
Ye
Ye
Yo ur the true 1st lol
I’ve been an aquarium hobbyist for almost 4 years now and am only just now starting to figure out saltwater tanks, and even with my years of experience in aquarium keeping, it’s hard. I can only imagine being so completely clueless that you actually think you can put a fricken starfish in a tiny aquarium set up that you just put up the same day and truly believing you’ll be able to keep it alive. This lady is more clueless than a toddler on this entire subject, I’m so happy that the store associates didn’t just give it to her no questions asked.

I absolutely LOVE Chinese teas! I used to go to Teavana all the time and stock up on emperor's clouds and mist green tea. One of the greatest travesties of my time was when Starbucks bought Teavana, jacked up the prices, and ran the business into the ground.
