White whine of the day
Shake Shack has “Chocolate Mint” as their featured shake of the day, so I ordered one ($6.26! Jesus.)
I picked up my shake, taste it, and it’s plain chocolate.
So I go to the counter, explain the mistake. They apologize and make me another.
I pick up the replacement, taste it, and it’s plain fucking chocolate again.
I don’t want to be that asshole who returns...

Just wanted to be clear, since, you know, we’re firing ESPN headline writers for being insensitive and criticizing ESPN anchors for using the word during play-by-play.
