So, I study at coffee shops a lot. A whole lot. I've gotten to the point that I feel that I'm getting a little uppity about what I expect in a caffeine shack that I'm going to be sitting, wholly immobile except for my eyes, for hours at a time. Realistically, I can deal with blah service. I can deal with less than amazing coffee. I can even deal with a little bit of a mess. But there are two things about this starbucks that absolutely drive me nuts.
First off, the place constantly looks dirty. And I mean dirty to the point that I'd prefer to not put my book bag down because I'm worried what it might come into contact with while it's down there.
Secondly, the place has either the most powerful AC unit in AZ or it's completely possessed. There are constant waves of hot, then cold, air that pass through this place. You have to take your sweater on and then off again in the space of 5 minutes. A deal breaker? No. Annoying as all get out? Very much so.
