Starbucks... Coffee for People With Attitudes
 | Post by:

Since I live less than a mile away from my workplace, I decide to walk. I have seen car accidents, breaking and entering, and many other interesting events while walking this short stretch of Seattle streets.
The half-way point is near a Starbucks location. Many of the oddities I see occur within a block or two of this point. I have come to the conclusion that an attitude is served with every single cup of Starbucks product.
Two quick examples:
1 - Two times this week, I have seen a woman crossing a busy street, carrying a grande-something-or-other, talking on a cell phone and HOLDING A BABY. The baby is in one of those basket-like baby holders, and the woman has the handle over her forearm, and the cup of coffee in her hand (the other hand has the cell phone up to her ear). If that woman trips, the baby will have some nice hot Starbucks in its face.
2 - Using a gift card from Christmas, I decided to stop in today to get something before I went into work. I ordered from the posted menu, and waited for my drink. In the meantime, another customer came through the door. She took off her oversized sunglasses (exposing her excessive eye makeup), unzipped her two-sizes-too-small leather coat (exposing her Casper boobs) and placed her order. It actually sounded more like a shopping list with all of the specifications she wanted (light on the ____, heavy on the ____, half soy, half milk, yadda). After her order, she let out an exaggerated sigh, as if looking for applause on her complicated order. After that, she asked for a custom snackey (which they made for her without hesitation). I grabbed my order, then walked out of the establishment. About a block up the road at the nearest intersection, that woman almost runs me over while I am in a crosswalk (I even had the little walky-man telling me to go). She was too distracted to drive her silver Jetta, while talking on a cell phone and drinking her Starbucks.
Is it just the location I went to, or is Starbucks primarily for females?
Some trends I have noticed with female Starbucks drinkers:
- If you drive a Jetta (or a tiny woman driving a huge SUV)
- Have fake blonde hair
- Look constantly sun-burnt (spray tan or tanning bed)
- Wear huge sunglasses

Goodness, I Love Azteca

Someone forgot about their order of 2 Fiesta Platters at Azteca. So, Azteca brought the unclaimed food across the street to my work.
It could not have happened on a better day, because my trial of a different flavor of Lean Pockets was HORRIBLE.
Never, EVER buy this:
