The Starbucks thing

“Say my name, say my naaaaamee.”

 

NO, I DO NOT NEED ROOM FOR CREAM. I ASKED FOR BLACK COFFEE. Black Coffee Matters





My pet peeve. I drink black coffee. I ask for a medium black coffee almost every time I order coffee and the response is “Room for cream?”

And I dont know how hard it is to serve my espresso in an actual espresso cup like they do in every bus stop in Italy.

 

Bless their hearts!

 

Dunkin coffee is good, but it's barely hot when I get it. So it cools down way too fast. Same with Panera.

 

Tend to make my coffee at home with the Keurig My Cup brewer thingy. Partial to Seattle's Best's Henry's Blend. Nice and roasty.

Had a really good cold brew at Starbucks the other day though.

Starbucks manager called cops two minutes after black men arrived

 

Sometimes I'll stop at Starbucks on the way to my gate at the airport, but half the time there are 20 people in line and I'm not about to wait 20 minutes for a mocha/caramel/vanilla anything. I don't know which is longer, the last time I was in an actual Starbucks store or the last time I ordered something from Amazon; either way it's at least 10 years. I didn't know until this story unfolded that you need to request access to the restrooms at Starbucks. That alone is reason enough not to go.

 

The bathroom thing is relatively rare. The only Starbucks I've been to where they lock the doors is in a pretty sketchy area of downtown Los Angeles.

 

"English major, right?"

 

I think the Philly Starbucks manager recently watched Sudden Impact.
