had an annoying experience with 40th st sophie’s free food & will not be returning:
i asked for the roast pork and the woman said no. so i said you mean theres no more and she said no. i ask for the oxtail and she said no. i ask whats left – chicken. so i figured i’d take that but i ask for a leg & she says no. at this moment later they dump in a whole new tray of pork right in front of me. they could’ve said it was coming in one second! when i tell her she just told me there was no more they actually say sorry, too late! i know i shouldn’t complain about free food but the people were just rude. the promotion was almost over as it was 2 pm and the line wasn’t long anymore.

Wait a second, Brownie’s supposed to be working at 9:58 anyways. I’m telling her boss.

Never to fear, soon Starbucks will be bankrupt, and the laughs will be ours.

As for the 47th & Bway Jamba Juice, fire up the ol’ boycott machine. Let’s remind these fuckers where their paychecks come from. Maybe the new manager will properly honor their promotions…

I went to Starbucks on 45th and Park (in front of Metlife building). I was there at 11:58: like a good Midtown Luncher. The lady’s behind the counter gave me an evil glare (2 of them!), I was cut in line by two middle aged female queue jumpers, and likewise, when I said all I wanted was the free sample, I got a glare and a turn.

Sup with that starbucks?

Jackson, have you not heard of the gastronomic legend that is Zack? All You Can Buffet restaurants are utterly devastated in his wake!

Like locusts pillaging the farm fields, Zack has been know to wreak havoc upon unsuspecting buffet tables! If this is not a feat of strength, then nothing is!

My Jamba Juice experience was good (6th and 56th). It was PACKED with people because they were giving out free 16 oz. regular smoothies and 12 oz. breakfasts. The line moved smoothly and the workers were friendly yet pleasant.

Meanwhile, my sample cup of Pike’s roast was a disappointment and the Barista gave us the death stare as well after we we told all we wanted was the coffee. Wasn’t it supposed to be a regular cup?

You mean the Sophies corporate email address isn’t zach@midtownlunch.com? I’m also trying to figure out what “ELLECT FAVORITISM” means.

I don’t think that a buffet service is part of the traditional Festivus celebration

You mean the buffets?
