A Rant…
There is something going on with Starbucks today.
Ben is doing his SAT thing today, so I'm taking the opportunity to run errands, wash the car…that sort of stuff. I'd planned on also grabbing breakfast and spending some time at Starbucks blogging (or more likely discretely looking at nekkid menz to blog later).
The first one I went to—one of our regular haunts—was absolutely insane. Normally on a weekend there are at most ten people in the store and probably half that in the drive thru. Today the drive thru was backed up onto the street and the parking lot was nearly full. When I walked in I was greeted by twenty or so people waiting for their orders, while half that number were waiting in line to order.
NOPE!
I hit another one of our favorites, and was greeted by a sign saying, "Our cafe is closed. Please use our drive thru!"
NOPE!
The one next closest to our house—normally deserted whenever we go there—looked like this:
Since I took that picture the line waiting to order has stretched to the front door, including a group of six blonde sorority clones—all glued to their bling-cased phones. Are the holiday drinks that popular?!
UPDATE: This store threw us all out at 12:30 and closed for the day.
