    9:25 is when the story starts.
    When I moved to CA years ago, I had an issue with USPS losing a few boxes of stuff I shipped from home on the east coast. I called them, I swear, every day. They couldn't give me ANY information. It took a couple of weeks, but I got my stuff. Hopefully, they just forgot to add tracking info and everything gets where it needs to go!

    • @Sacrespersonnages
      @Sacrespersonnages Před 4 lety +4

      How much caféine is in the coffe depend on the way the coffee is made (expresso, drip coffee, etc) not on the way beans are roasted ! The roast is about the taste

    • @ashleytwiggs
      @ashleytwiggs Před 4 lety +12

      ju hnt
      Not true.
      White Unroasted coffee has the most caffeine and is a specialty coffee that’s why you can rarely find it and it’s more expensive.
      Blonde slightly less caffeine and roasted
      Medium roast is the typical 50g of caffeine per cup and sold every where
      Dark roast minimal caffeine and burnt giving it a darker flavor
      Decaf - roasted past the point of no return and shouldn’t be be called coffee

    • @Beedup768
      @Beedup768 Před 4 lety +7

      ju hnt no, IceCutes is right lol. Caffeine levels depend on the roast of coffee and not the method of brewing the coffee. The more you roast the coffee, the more caffeine is cooked out of the bean. I was a barista for a few years and am a scientist.

    USPS has been a bit shady the past couple of weeks. more specifically my amazon packages. i’ve been shipping for my small business for the past 10 years =) with that being said..for that guaranteed peace of mind..i go into the USPS myself, w/ALL the packages & i either individually scan or batch scan them, then all i do is ask for a receipt before i leave. =) i’ve learned MANY things along the way, but now i can say i’ve mastered shipping. hehe. anyhow, best of luck to you looking forward =)

    Hey Tara. I had to go to the grocery store and decided that I would grab the ingredients for your tik tok coffee. I got so excited seeing the coffee, sugar and hot water whisking to a beautiful fluff. Mixed in my milk, cream and vanilla essence and WOW. Took my dog Sammy for a walk drinking my amazing coffee. Met a lovely person on my walk (our dogs had a play) and told her about the coffee drink. She had heard about it and was excited that it actually works. So a big thank you for this ingenious way to make my coffee. 😍

      If you measure your coffee by scoops, light roasted coffee will have more caffeine. Since the beans are denser than a darker roast. However if you weigh out your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine, because there is less mass.

    Fun fact about blond roast from a barista! Blond roast is stronger in caffeine, not flavor. Actually, the darker the roast, the less caffeine. So you’re coffee didn’t taste less strong because of more milk, it’s just that it’s more of a mellow flavor, less acidy, but more caffeine.

    tip: you should get glass containers to store your food in. plastic containers can cause micro plastic particles to get into your food when you heat it that can be harmful

    Alchemy is the art and study of transforming things to a higher state (mystical science). This was normally considered physical objects, like lead to gold. Likely what they were talking about on TikTok with the manifesting is using the idea of alchemy for mental alchemy - transforming your negative thoughts into positive ones, transforming your mindset, things of that nature. Don’t hate it without reading it yet.

    Tara, I make iced coffee with Starbucks Medium Roast as well and it’s been hard to find this week. So I looked up how Starbucks makes their cold brew coffee. Bought some Starbucks whole bean coffee, ground it, added water and let it brew in the fridge for 24 hours. It tastes amazing! It’s WAY cheaper! One bag is the same cost as one bottle and the one bag will make between 15-20 bottles!

    Package volume is crazy high. Carriers are filling up they’re trucks with incoming and outgoing mail and parcels. They are also on huge time restrictions and cannot always go back to empty the truck. It may have been an issue if not being able to get the pickup into the vehicle.
    You’re very privileged to be able to stay home right now. Many USPS employees don’t have the luxury to be home.
    We are all feeling stress for a lot of reasons right now. The mail carrier for your building is too.

    If USPS lost them you can file a complaint & they'll send you a check for the missing items. I live in NJ this happened to my sister they lost her package she kept calling & following up it took about a month but they ended up sending her a check for the item lost.

    Coming from a Usps employee, when they pick up the pick up order that have to scan a barcode for confirmation. Also have to scan all of the packages as accepted.. so you should have know the day of or the next day tops whether or not he picked them up or not.. if it was a different carrier than normal there is a possibility that he didn’t see where they were at for the pick up.. hopefully they turn up, and weren’t stolen! 💙

    In my last job, I oversaw the shipment of hundreds upon hundreds of boxes and shipment for an apparel product development line and we lost random boxes frequently in the hands of UPS/Fedex. If the boxes were indeed just lost by USPS and not stolen (and it seems unlikely that one individual could just take off with everything that USPS was supposed to have), most of them will likely show up. Things don't just evaporate, just sometimes takes time to get them back on their way.

  • @Lau3464l

    Blonde roast is a lighter roast coffee which has more caffeine but a lighter/weaker flavour! The longer that beans roast for, the darker they get, and the more caffeine they lose in the process! That's what gives that stronger or even burnt/bitter flavour. People often hate on Starbucks coffee because it's a lot darker than a lot of coffees from other brands/companies/roasters, and there's a bunch of reasons why they focus on dark roast coffees but one is that it travels better so you can have consistency whether you get a coffee from those beans in Europe or in America! Personally I much prefer lighter roast coffees, you can actually taste so much more of the flavour and different notes, and I'm the type that needs that extra caffeine :)

    Barista here! Blonde roast taste wise isn’t as strong, but it actually has more caffeine than medium or dark roasts (except for shots of espresso). It isn’t roasted as long, that’s why. The lighter the bean, the more caffeine!

Like, keep this great business mentality going as you continue to grow because all of your customers are going to appreciate how upfront about situations like this that might happen in the future.

  • @marlyndiazn

    Idk how long ago that happened with you but remember USPS is skipping some scans. They are about ten days behind on scans. I have a small business and ship all my stuff with USPS. The first time I have ever had any trouble with them was this April. I shipped something out on April 9 and on April 15 it was “in transit” well it was “in transit” for ten days. In those ten days I had no updates. Like was it lost? Did it make it to the state of Illinois where it was going? Was USPS holding on to it (they do that sometimes)? It doesn’t take ten days from California to Illinois. So I was PANICKED. I had never had any issues so I didn’t know what to do. I knew they were struggling because Trump didn’t want to give them covid relief money so they were in the brink of collapse and all that but I was scared. Then on the tenth day it finally started moving again and there were no problems. Since then like 10 more of the packages I sent out get stuck on “preshipment label created” for about ten days. Which also panics me because it looks like I never sent out the item even though I always ship out next business day. It seems very unlikely that one mail person would have gotten a whole mail rooms worth of packages. That’s so easy to trace back.

  • @savvhornsby2038
    @savvhornsby2038 Před 4 lety

    Starbucks barista here! Lol Imma nerd. So blonde roast is roasted for less time meaning that it's not as strong a flavour and has more caffeine than medium or dark roast. The longer you roast, the stronger the flavour and less caffeine you get. Though the caffeine differences between the three aren't very significant, so it doesn't make too much of a difference caffeine wise.

  • @stonesatglasshouses3477

    This is why I always take all of my shipments directly to the post office and have them scanned one by one. When I walk in with a hundred packages, they give me the dirtiest looks. But I don’t even trust the scan page that you can use for all the items together. I’ve had too many issues with shipping.

    Hey, just as an FYI, I am an SIU Investigator, for a large P&C Insurance Company. During this pandemic, I have been involved in multiple seminars about stolen property, scams, setups, and such......It just becomes another excuse for the low life's to take advantage of an easy opportunity. I would just report it to your liability carrier for record and let them investigate it for you. California Laws are probably a lil different from Mass Law, but it must be somewhat close. I would suggest that you file a police report. You can probably do that either over the phone or in person.
