Pepto flavored Bubble Tea?


We get an hour break at work, which is a really nice thing. Most places I've worked give you either two 30 minute breaks, or one 45 minute break.  Having an hour is really a luxury and just one more reason why I like where i work.   I usually go home on my break to feed Ellie (the puppy) and eat dinner.  Sometimes I make a really exciting break by going to WOW Bubble Tea.  Wendy introduced me to it about a month ago, and it's my new favorite thing in the WORLD.  So, today's break was packed.  I drove home, fed Ellie, and then went to get some bubble tea.  I ran into an old friend there and we had a nice chat.  It was very busy tonight.  So I'm standing near the counter waiting for my Taro Coconut Extra Tapioca Bubble Tea.  The door to the back room, or staff room is open.  What do i see sitting on the shelf?  A big bottle of the pink stuff: pepto bismol!  I find it a little disturbing to think that one of the red-shirted staffers about to make my delicious drink is suffering from nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, or diarrhea.  I really hope it's not the latter.  I didn't dwell on it though, because i feel confident that all employees wash hands after bathroom trips and before returning to work.   Right?  RIGHT?  My bubble tea was great, and I returned to work feeling just fine!

  1. WOW. Don't worry. Given that you'd be ingesting recycled Pepto Bismol I should HOPE you returned feeling fine! Second of all, um, I'm sure that's NOT the case because we all know food industry workers always wash their hands. Always.

    Mmmm. Taro coconut... I wish I could have met you there!
