I had no intentions of stopping by or into for that matter, a Starbucks yesterday. Well, I wound up here and I'm glad I did. I did the drive thru thing which was new to me since I didn't even know this location was a walk-up or drive-thru only place. Anyways, I pulled up and was greeted by the most friendly Starbucks employee I've ever met, Michael. He was either new to people driven by caffeine and sugary drinks or he was genuinely a nice person.
Either way, I was offered free chocolate chips on top of my drink because the one I ordered (their new dark cherry and chocolate coffee--iced, blended, or hot) was the same one he likes. He was patient with me as I took the order from my mumbling front seat passenger who's idea it was to stop for coffee that he just "had to have" (see also, "boyfriend"). We pulled up to the window and paid.
He was just as friendly to our faces as he'd been to our voices over the little speakerbox. There was a wait since my boyfriend ordered something that took longer to make and he assured us it was on its way, though we didn't mind waiting. He complimented me on my ID (paid by credit) and we were on our way.
Very
