People in my office do not understand. Me. Or anything interesting for that matter.
They could not, for the life of them, percieve why I was so excited that we are FINIALLY getting a REAL Starbucks here in our sad little town. After asking me why exactly Starbucks was better than Wawa and hearing my spluttering outrage, the only words they could muster were "You are a prep at heart."
Coming from them, I will consider that a compliment.
We are??!! WHEN???!!! Let's camp on their doorstep and be the first customers!
new starbucks - reason enough for a parade. we *finally* got one here last year, and another opened up closer to downtown.
do a test for me - i've been in three brand new starbucks cafe's in the past year (2 here, 1 beach), and that first week everything's wrong. if you've ever been in one at an airport or another town, do you notice the new one doesn't have the smell or the atmosphere yet, and the coffee doesn't taste quite right? within a week or so it's all good, but that first visit was a letdown.
some of us understand.
ahhhhh. . .starbucks is great. . .free starbucks is even better. yesterday when i came into the office, someone had left some hot starbucks on my desk for me.
How small is your town? I thought every town the minimum required 5 Starbucks stores by now. I predict the novelty will soon wear off and in a few years when you have one on every corner, you'll even be a little sick of them.
but by that point, there will be lots of little local coffee shops eeking out an existence and i can do the whole snobby down-with-giant-coffee-companies-drink-the-crappy-local-stuff thing. *grin* kidding. but i am looking forward to the local coffee shops that will probably spring up as a result of starbucks coming. right now, our options are very, very limited.
As in, people think Wawa coffee is the salvation of mankind.
WAWA.
That's like saying Zales is as good as Tiffany's.
So. Not. Happening.
I have four Starbucks in a 3 mile radius. It's pretty cool, let me tell you. :)
