I didn't even think about that, I just got a new phone and they come standard with 32GB now, so I have plenty of room - but that is a really good point.

Yeah when I had he 6S+, which I actually used at WDW, I only had 16 because 32 was more money. So I erased all unnecessary apps, backed up and erased all photos and videos, and erased any texts/web history/cookies etc, just in case. I had Dropbox too but I ended up taking more photos with my camera than my phone anyways. I have the 7+ now with 32 and it makes a HUGE difference with storage.

Don't mean to stereotype here, but I have noticed it's mostly foreign people who do this. Not really sure why, maybe they assume they can't turn their phone on in a different country? No idea. I don't get it either. Maybe people don't have a phone or a camera?? iPads are expensive & way too bulky for me to be bringing around the parks - let alone holding the iPad up for a 20 minute show.. my arms would break off..

Maybe they're using Skype or Face Time for the shows and want the larger screen to see their loved one?lol I have no clue at all. I'm an Apple addict and can not think of one thing that I would need my iPad over my iPhone when out for amusement..not even for work related stuff.

You could turn the phone on airplane mode just to use the camera, I do that while I'm in Canada (I live close to the boarder of NY/Canada)

Or just turn your data off. iPhone or iPad is the same in that regard. Wifi or camera doesn't have an impact on data usage and both have options to turn it off.

I've seen a lot of people who have an iPad and no iPhone. So there's that. Or it could be that different photo editing apps are just easier to use on an iPad because of the bigger screen, so why not just take the photos with that. Maybe I'll ask someone next time I see them using one lmao.

That is approximately what it cost them to make a black cup of coffee.

Don't think so. Possibly if they brewed it directly into your mouth? Adding in the cost of all the ancillary bits, the cost climbs quite a bit. Anyways, it's not super important. Maybe it costs them 50c maybe 60c. Maybe 40c. It's not really relevant in this thread.

I used to buy and make it for a food place. It actually cost us about 15 cents to buy and make it. You also have to consider other products will offset the cost of rent and payroll etc. 20 cents is accurate.

I'll say this and then not go off topic again..

Starbucks has always closed their stores for employee training, sacrificing a lot of profit.. but their training appears to produce great results. Starbucks baristas are personable, funny, and most importantly- make your coffee exactly the same every single time you order it no matter what location, or in what city, or in what country you are in at the time.
This is why I pay $5.25+ for a cup of coffee.

I can go to Dunkin Donuts and spend @ $1 less, but half the time my coffee will have too much milk or just not taste the same as the one I ordered- from the same exact store- the day before.

It's not accurate. I buy and sell coffee right now. Today in fact. My cost is well over 20c. And I don't use the same quality materials/beans/etc that Starbucks does. Just a 12oz cup costs me around 7 cents. Not including the lid or the sleeve or the stirrers or the trays. Larger cups cost more.

Maybe your info is outdated? Or maybe you bought crap coffee? I don't know.

Ok.. this post made me go off topic one more time.

I don't buy gas station coffee because I always worry about the water they use..I'll do a sugar free Red Bull instead lol. Are my fears justified?

@KBLovesDisney, you mean rules like staying on topic?

Ha! Nah, is all good. I like coffee talk.

To add actually, I like both homemade and Starbucks. In the mornings, I use the old style brew and make a full pot every morning. If I am out and about and get a craving for coffee, I usually go for Starbucks. I'll get coffee in restaurants, hotels, etc. I just like coffee (except work coffee, I am not sure what that stuff is made of but that isn't coffee).

I am just wondering where this thread went from rule breaking to talking about coffee. (Maybe I should edit the thread title).
