We stock syrups from Da Vinci, Torani, and Monin. There are differences in the selection of flavors available among those product lines. I frequently review the differences with customers. Da Vinci, for instance, has an exclusive licensing deal that means they are the only manufacturer of Kahlua syrup. Torani makes a Cherry Lime that the others don't have. You get the idea.

One customer was having a particularly hard time of it, so we were going through flavor by flavor to figure out which ones he needed to stock.

"What about English Toffee?" he asked.

"Da Vinci and Torani make English Toffee, but Monin is a little weird," I said. "They're a French company, so they don't like giving the English credit for anything. They call their equivalent 'Toffee Nut.'"

"Huh," he said. "So Monin doesn't have an English Toffee, per se. But do the other guys have Toffee Nut?"

"No," I told him. "That's only in the Monin."

8/11/2009 1:23:07 PM

IF ONLY I COULD HARNESS THE POWER OF HATERATION

8/11/2009 1:25:31 PM

My first poet in this thread was just bustin balls.

my second post was just me being depressed at how blown out of proportion people's internet language is.

frosh you said it was mildly amusing. and it was. and its not like you're incapable of very amusing (obvi-"largeeddy ate my balls"). I just hate LULZ or HAHAHA being typed, when one can pretty much guarantee that the people typing it didnt "laugh out loud" or "big letters guffaw" at their keyboard.

8/11/2009 1:30:50 PM

and we all know you have to be laughing IRL when you type haha or lol

every time

cause that would just be inconsistent

and WRONG, damn it

8/11/2009 1:31:47 PM

8/2/2017 9:04:32 AM

this isn't that funny. bumping this thread is like that guy who kept bumping the thread where he shit on his own car.

8/2/2017 11:53:30 AM

i'm sure he said "per se"

8/2/2017 12:05:31 PM

I like how bumping a thread that advertises a "mildly amusing anecdote" implies that I think it's "that funny," whatever the degree of "that" is.

8/2/2017 1:54:38 PM

Oh this is old

I was thinking this motherfucker was a 40 year old barista.


Not that there's anything wrong with that. I guess.

8/2/2017 7:23:25 PM

Haha, Shawna. I thought the same thing at first. I reckon he was around 32 when he barista'd.

8/2/2017 10:31:35 PM

I've never worked as a barista. I worked for a coffee roaster with a sideline in espresso equipment sales and specialty drink ingredient wholesaling. The conversation took place with a coffeeshop owner who was placing a supply order. I was 28.

Frosh sells coffee syrups and coffee syrup accessories.

8/3/2017 7:48:32 AM

Nah, Frosh is a software developer. Frosh hasn't been coffee's Hank Hill since 2009.

8/3/2017 9:12:14 AM

When I was falling asleep last night I jerked awake with the thought that Froshkiller was going to correct me for not saying baristo.

8/3/2017 5:47:00 PM

Well, it's the Italian word for bartender. The singular form is barista, masculine and feminine. They differ in the plural form: masculine baristi, feminine bariste.
