A splash of vanilla essence.
Some full cream milk. Not too much, not too little. I don't want low viscosity, I want it like 20w50 at 0 Celsius.
Blend until creamy smooth.
Lol, malted milk. Love a chocolate malt. I'll pass on the banana.

Edit: I also add an egg when I make milkshakes.

They have one line with the store employees guiding people to the next open station, 12 stations total. Totally sucks. I tell them I'm not a good checker. Took me twice as long as normal, and oops, I think I forgot to scan a couple items. I told them I wasn't a good checker. That's on them.

What's next? Do I have to go in early and bake my own donuts? I remember going to the Alpha Beta with my mom as a kid. She just pushed the cart up and the checker would take the groceries out. I remember the one checker, a super nice Hispanic lady, that new every price of every item in the store, and was a goddess on the 10 key. In 30 years of accounting I've never seen anyone as fast on a 10 key. Now it's like "get your shit, check and bag it yourself, and get the fuck out."
the part that irritates me is that the self checkouts are functionally slower. i can't just rapid-scan things, or home depot's self checkout gives me a scanner with a keypad now, but i can't enter a quantity of items (like when i'm getting 80 outlets, 80 cover plates, and 40 switches).

and all of the cashiers are getting so much slower almost everywhere that even with the delays of self checkout, it's still faster than waiting in line for someone to mosey through 3-4 items to get to me. the only one's that are still fast are the aldi girls.

I have a few boxes in the attic of some of the things she has sent.

Today I received a Vitamix 7500 with both wet and dry blend carafe. Basically a $500 blender. Guess it's time for smoothies. Anyone have a good recipe?
Maybe she doesn't think the electric blender invention has made it up to Idaho? -

That's a mixer, old man. I guess you were always too schnockered to notice while you were drinking, and never saw one after you quit.

Hey, big guy, I KNOW what that is! As a toddler, I was sitting on my mothers kitchen floor, mixing up eggs with an egg beater like that, before YOUR mother was even married.

As far as my drinking days, I never mixed or blended anything. I just poured the whisky out a bottle into a glass and added a splash of branch water and drank it! -

Frozen berries from Costco, cheap long lasting, decent recipe on the bag iirc. Yogurt, ice, sweeten to taste with whatever you like, glass of whatever fruit juice is in the fridge for instance, bananas are rarely unwelcome in a smoothie.

Any other place I refuse to use self-checkout unless there is no other choice. If they gave me a discount for using it, I would but since they are not, and I don't work for them, then I'm going through the line.

time is money yo

I take the shortest line, if I don't have to talk to someone when I don't want to; bonus points

'but it's costing jobs'

fuck off, very few people dream of being a cashier, some do, sure, power to them for finding what they enjoy, there will be a human face to customer service for a very long time, but I look forward to the day when mankind does not have to work to thrive

The Costco near me recently put out self checkout aisles. It’s surprisingly quick there and most people don’t use them because who wants to ring up 20 bulk packages of items? So it’s great for me because I only ever get 3-5 items at Costco.

Scan membership card, scan items, pay. Easy peasy.

So does Congress, what's your point? Also George Jetson was a cartoon character.

There are a lot of folks like high school/college kids or retired folk that want to make some money but don't have the time or energy for a full time job. It builds references for future job applications, pays for college books and such, and let's you have some luxuries you might not normally have. I would rather live in a world where somebody who wants a basic part time job like that can get one, rather than one where there aren't any options for that.

Plus, it's more efficient of they check me out than me doing it myself.

"yes, um, my drains are backing up, i need to get this cleaned up!"

"ok, how does 2 months from now at 8:00 in the morning work for you?"

"i've got RAW SEWAGE coming into my house!"

"yes, well, so does everyone else it seems, but per the government mandate, we only work 3 hours a day for 3 days a week, so the next appointment is available 2 months from now."

"i'm calling someone else! you useless plumber!"

"please do, and if you find someone not booked out past a month, can you let me know who it is i can refer others to?"

[20 minutes later]

"George Jetson Plumbing, how can i help you?"

"sorry, it's 2 and a half months now."

"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO UNTIL THEN?!?"

"get a bucket i suppose."
