welshbairn Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 c***s who take their own cups in to Costa Coffee when they're sitting at a table, and whine about having to screw the lid down, holding everyone up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, it’s to stop customers sueing Costa, should you spill your hot coffee and burn yourself. On being asked to screw tops on my cups, I politely pointed out that every sit-in Costa coffee is served in one of their own china cups, no top, no way of putting a top on it. The latte cups are tall glass ones, filled to the brim. If anything, the danger of being burned is from their own cups, mugs.... not my re-useable cup... which I am carrying all of five feet from the till to my table. Fcuking world has gone mad. I think that’s more a sad indictment on today’s society, rather than fault of Costa, as they’ve clearly been sued for exactly that and are now forced into making people screw the lids on at the till. 25 minutes ago, welshbairn said: c***s who take their own cups in to Costa Coffee when they're sitting at a table, and whine about having to screw the lid down, holding everyone up. Harsh. I would commend anyone using reusable cups (even if sitting in doesn’t really help with the reduction in single use materials). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whole her mates are sound enough, a couple of the guys going enjoy a good drink, so I was quite looking forward to that. Last night I am added to a "Camping Woo Woo" group chat on WhatsApp. I am already sceptical. Then one of the girls makes the comment "Apologies in advance if the baby keeps anyone up". I looked at my Mrs, and asked on clarification as to what the f**k was going on. Apparently this couple are going to be taking their nine month old baby on this trip. The Mum is a proper Instagram Mum, putting up a daily comment on how her sweetness and joy farts rainbows. When someone asked who was taking what drink, the Mum replied "we don't really like drinking with the baby". I can tell I am going to be told to "slow down" after my second Tennents. I just can't fathom why the f**k you would take your baby. I have just booked Monday off work, so I can have a day of peace to myself, after what is going to be an utterly shite weekend. Ask them if they're taking anti-dingo spray with them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh. I would commend anyone using reusable cups (even if sitting in doesn’t really help with the reduction in single use materials). I had a laugh with the guy serving me, he was only doing what he’s been told. I promised him I wouldn’t sue. My point though is that Costa have a policy of asking customers who provide their own cups to screw lids on before walking away with their drinks. The reason I was told is to avoid customers sueing them should they spill their hot drink, and burn themselves. I simply do not understand. We all know what a standard Costa cup (as provided by them to the customer) looks like. It has a handle, it’s white, it has a Costa logo on it, and they do not have lids, the ability to screw a lid on. Costa are handing these death traps to customers. If anyone was going to sue Costa then surely the only reason for doing it, would be if a Costa staff member spilt it over you, threw it over you, or one of the company provided vessels for containing a hot drink, developed a fault, cracked, broke, and you were burned. If you rack up with your own cup, surely to goodness, if anything happens, Costa would be well within their rights to tell you to go fcuk yersel’, should you even think about taking legal action. I’d fully expect to be told to get myself tae’ fcuk. I really do not get this, not a jot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is exactly my point, I completely agree they should tell people to get to f**k, but clearly they must have been stung with it before or they wouldn’t be forced into making customers score the lid on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had created a folder on the network for her in advance thinking her name was Lyndsey. You should have heard the grief and indignation, "That's no me! my name's Lynsey" as if it was some kind of personal insult. I'm with Lyndsey on this one, tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the discounts per se, the fact that when I was a tax dodger in Aberdeen there were f*ck all student discounts apart from a quid off a plate of spag bol in Radars. Now that the wee shites have come back from the hols you see ads for student discounts everywhere in Edinburgh right now. I feel like getting a fake student ID card because I missed out all those years ago. Aye, but at least we didn't leave third education thousands of pounds in debt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 All Education Scotland emails have an auto-reply. Not an out of office, just to say your email has been received. Anyone who does this can f**k off but a whole govt agency who i have to email 30 times a day can triple f**k off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
