i'm a big starbucks lover. i know it's overpriced and there's coffee that's just as good or better at small mom-and-pop coffee shops for half the price. i know i know. but i know my favorite drinks here and i can't help but be addicted.
anyway, i had a class in oakland that i had to be in the area for from 8:30-3. so needless to say, during lunch, i needed some coffee.
i walked down to the starbucks and waited in line for a little while to order. not long, i'd say probably average for lunchtime. the cashier was nice and seemed very knowledgeable.
but then i had to wait kind of a while for my drink because they were backed up. probably not their fault, but if it's that backed up on a sunday at 12:30, i'll let you predict the rest of the week.
anyway, while i was waiting i browsed the mugs, instant coffee, etc. etc. for sale. ended up buying a travel mug because i couldn't find mine and this one was on sale for just $6something.
so i finally got my coffee and all was good (and delicious.. skinny pumpkin spice latte with an extra espresso shot anyone?!)
