Starbucks Snobbery
I like to drink coffee. I like to drink coffee a lot. I really *really* enjoy the coffee I drink.
I used to frequent a local coffee house until Starbucks opened up near by. I make no excuses and I have no shame to admit that I love Starbucks coffee. It is consistently full-bodied, dark and tasty just like I like it.
I go there a lot. I have my own Starbucks card that automatically reloads from my credit card because I never want to be walking into a Starbucks without money on my card for that quick swipe and swig action.
Here is a picture of my Starbucks coffee card:
Now that you know where my loyalty (read weakness) lies, let me tell you a funny story I witnessed the other day. I walked into the local Starbucks and got in line. There was one guy in front of me and one guy that got in line behind me.
Guy #1 nonchalantly orders a venti half-caff latte.
Guy #2 (that would be me) rattles off a desire for a triple tall breve mocha.
Guy #3 sheepishly approaches the counter and apologetically mutters, "I would, uh, I... I just want a medium coffee"
I really felt his pain and pitied that poor man. The barristas also showed pity and assumed he had to have meant a grande drip. I can only hope that he doesn't have to go through the rest of his life hanging his head shamed by the knowledge of how he just couldn't measure up that fateful day.
Excellent!!!
