a small correction: artificial banana flavour (isoamyl acetate) tastes unlike bananas for the same reason why most artificial flavours struggle to taste like what they're replicating - you're using a single chemical to emulate a far, far more complex flavour profile. while gros michel does contain more isoamyl acetate than cavendish bananas do, and as a result tend to taste a little closer to that artificial flavour, ultimately both bananas taste pretty similar and there's no evidence to confirm that artificial banana flavouring was based on gros michel bananas specifically.
cavendish banana to me tastes like artificial banana flavouring. in Malaysia we still have plenty of local varieties like Pisang Mas, Pisang Berangan (pisang means banana) etc that taste wildly different between each other, and/but also sometimes inconsistent even between the same varieties.
There was a whole management situation where Chipotle make workers fill less for online orders. Measurements were not the problem, it's about buying back customer trust .
i feel like that would be really easy to test, like just order online then walk in and order the same thing. do you know of there are articles or videos on this subject?
@@javisbavis Zachary Smigel's channel has a video where he ate only chipotle for 30 days, comparing in-store and online orders at three different locations by weight, which proved that online orders had smaller portions.
i’m a former chipotle employee and the spoons we use are actually supposed to be 4 ounces so those are our “measuring cups” but as you can imagine it takes a bunch of practice to get the exact right amount on there so ppl tend to just not even think about it lol
i used to work at a pizza place and we had scales underneath every ingredient tray. much easier for precise quantities and surely much cheaper than an automated deli machine. but last time i was in a chipotle, probably over half of the people in the building were app drivers waiting for online orders. so portion control is just one of the problems they're solving
@@ssbmbardon yeah the real problem is that workers are expected to pump out orders super fast but are typically understaffed and have to fulfill a ton of other tasks besides just what’s happening on the food line. i’m sure this is also a way to avoid staffing restaurant properly and giving workers more hours
Thanks for the video Shaq and Willow. It's comforting to know how much you genuinely care about your customers to the point where you are directly working with them to figure out orders, not many people would do that and just let the customers incur the fees but you're built different. I mentioned your video about wanting to distracted in a video I made about attention just recently, thanks for making my life less doomscrolly and more of an actual life I'm proud of.
That is an interesting point aiqua383, I would like to add to that that I too would also like to comment for engagement as I find Shaquille's takes to be pleasantly nuanced and well-thought.
Shaq's standardization vs human element brings to mind ride share drivers. My city went from taxi drivers, who had their problems but knew their way around town, to the early Uber / Lyft drivers who were local and attuned to the routes and rhythms, to today's terrified drones who dare not diverge from the GSP directions even if they know a better way. At least with a robot taxi (we have those too now) no one's humanity is being suppressed.
Our Tupperware was margarine, cottage cheese and cool whip containers. Lol. When my grandma passed, we found w huge stash of these containers stored under her bed ❤. BTW. Love this new show. Please keep it going 😊
You can buy them from small farms (I too was curious, and got some from Miami Fruit). They are expensive to ship, and frankly don't taste *that* different from a Cavendish. I think this is basically a myth that no one verifies because it's so onerous to actually get a gros michel
Hey Shaq- my company handles e-commerce sales tax qualms (an overwhelming amount of businesses get it wrong) and we have recommendations for folks who handle VAT if you still need that assistance.
@@netshaq2 Cool, I'm sending you my work email & number through the Barkley contact us form. It's so hard to find good help for this, so I'd love to be of assistance!
It seems your UB reference was actually a riff on the Benjamin Franklin quote "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
