@StarbucksUK Maybe get the oatmilk in on a daily motorbike until your supply chain computer system has been updated? How long! A month? #sarcasm

Or first increase the oatmilk orders, and then when it's there, put up the posters advertising it? #realcustomer

[Henry Strick vL @henrystrick]

@StarbucksUK Theres an excellent team there, but clearly they don't get supplied. It's 2026, guys. You advertise something >> you update your supply chain. Computers & all??

This is neglect.

Telling the customers: "We don't care"....

[Henry Strick vL @henrystrick]

@StarbucksUK Fail for Starbucks at Brent Cross Shopping Centre, Hendon. 1930. I try to order the new Pistachio Velvet Oat Latte. "We don't have it. No oat milk". Exactly same a week ago. Widely advertised with big signs in the shop. No stickers "sold out".

@CostaCoffee In Central London this would never happen.

Unbelievable.

Not the least sense of customer service.

Take away - not even wanting to sit down.

45 minutes before "closing time".

[Henry Strick vL @henrystrick]

@CostaCoffee Well that's the end of using Costa UK ever. Been to Costa @ Hendon Central often. >12 yrs. Tonight they close at 8 pm. I enter at 715. They know I want a heated up panini. Say they need this time to "clean the oven". Coffee ok. But no heated up panini. Never again!

@adamhjk @ryanseanbadger >> Reporting that for 5 years a company hadn't used the cloud (other than for storage perhaps) - and show the calculation that their activity over those 5 actual past years would have cost $7m more if implemented (sensibly, efficiently) in the cloud.

[Henry Strick vL @henrystrick]

@adamhjk @ryanseanbadger This whole bigger thread is par of the discussion about that famous "$7m saving". I've carefully read that article. And have spent an (earlier) career in (big) business.

I'd be much more impressed if the $7m was a number stated at the END of the 5-year period. >>

This is…completely false. We stand by our reporting.

We have high levels of an airborne disease which is known to have killed over 200K people in the last three years in he UK alone and yet peer/media pressure has convinced almost everyone not to take even the most basic precautions.

An extraordinary time to be alive.

[Dr Phil Hammond 💙 @drphilhammond]

The NHS is the endpoint of most health problems, & delays can make them worse, but it is not the cause of them. Health is largely socially determined. To fix healthcare, we need to fix housing, heating, nutrition, sleep, stress, cruelty, education, exercise, isolation and poverty

Our review of #LongCovid research is out!

This was a HUGE labor of love over 10 months from @julialmv @LisaAMcCorkell @EricTopol & me!

It includes 200+ references focusing on biomedical findings in Long Covid. I hope it educates & inspires new research!

One way of resolving all these secret-document scandals is to acknowledge that after 75 years of experimentation, the chief accomplishment of the "classification system" has been to make our government less trustworthy and our country less free.

Abolish and reform it. All of it.

Worth noting that the President seems to have absconded with more classified documents than many whistleblowers. For comparison, Reality Winner was sentenced to 5 YEARS for just one document.

Meanwhile Biden, Trump, Clinton, Petraeus... these guys have dozens, hundreds. No jail.

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.
