oh, starbucks!

yes, i have to admit


i frequent starbucks every wednesday morning before class and thursdays afterwards. and yes, i have to say i like the attention i command when i walk into school with my oversized shades on and venti soy hazelnut latte in hand. oh, so debutante!

although i have to say, i don't support starbucks politics, but that's a whole 'nother story for another day.


so do you know what really, really gets me?

people who "loooove starbucks!!"

but spend five dollars on a venti strawberries & cream "frappuccino".*

which is not coffee, but rather a fancy milkshake with the starbucks logo on the cup and a savvy green straw. oooh!


i almost hate those kind of people as much as the people who order:

"venti half-calf no-whip non-fat caramel drip with room, 200 degrees and double-cupped." **

it's like, " bet i can fit more pretentious drink options into my order than you can!"

and those poor baristas, who work their asses off trying to remember what the "H/C N/W N/F C D w/R @200 2C" scribbled in sharpie means at 6 am.



another favorite:

those who order waters at starbucks. not like the bottled kind, but a cup of water. with the green straw. its okay if it's for your dog. but if you are reading this, you're obviously not a dog.



so please, fellow starbucks customers, do those poor people a favor and just stick with the latte.
and go to micky d's for the milkshakes.



*can you say 890 total calories + 15 g of fat? that's only 10 calories & 3g of fat less than a large mcdonald's milkshake.
**please don't leave me hurtful comments correcting the fact that this is not a feasible order. its called an exaggeration.





on a lighter note:


augustana- coffee and cigarettes

I am a tall soy latte type of girl. Nothing pretentious about that except merely walking into Starbucks and knowing exactly what to order is maybe, just a tad pretentious after all.
