Starbucks Freaks
Monday, March 28, 2005
Is anyone else as fascinated by the Starbucks phenomenon as I am? How did one company just up and take over the world and brain wash us all into their way of thinking? Never have I ever heard so many choices in my life - isn't coffee just coffee? Apparently not, according to Starbucks. Sizes are not small, medium, large but tall, grande and venti. And we like sheep, just go along with what they tell us to say. I never knew that you could have your latte, not just as is but with caramel, extra hot, with foam or no foam and skinny on top of it all!
Anyways, I am constantly fascinated by what people order, I never order anything exotic or anything at all. I usually am there to pick up coffee for clients. I do have this rule that you should be able to order your coffee in five words or less. Anything more, and you're just being way too picky.
Today, there was this woman who was being a fashion diva drama mama - you know the kind, all dressed up to the tits, carrying the latest fashion mags and trying to look generally too cool for school. She asked for a grande, skinny, hot chocolate, extra hot and she emphasized that it needed to be skim milk as last time they forgot, and the fat in the milk made her bloated. But what does she do at the end? She asks for extra whipped cream and chocolate sauce. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE SKINNY MILK THEN, RETARD?
