I love/hate Starbucks.
Yes, their coffee is overpriced. Yes, they expanded too rapidly and are now closin’ stores and layin’ off baristas.
But, I love what their retail stores provide. Making coffeehouse culture mainstream was a good thing.
Starbuzz stores are like social-gasms. 5 reasons you’ll find me in one:
-The library makes me feel like a caged collegiate rat.
-Peeping the boys (damn you Loopt Mix and your unavailability on my Google phone.)
-Fueling my Adderall rage.
-Increasing the likelihood someone posts a Craigslist Missed Connection about me.
-A.D.D runs rampant when I try to get work done at home.
Just as my experiences at Starbucks are personalized - so should be the cups:
