I confess. We got off to a rocky start. Remember in high school when I swore I'd never buy my coffee from you? That I'd only use the independent coffee places? I think my exact words were "You are pure, dripped, evil." Harsh.
And then in college, when I said, "Ok, well maybe that was a bit cruel. Maybe Starbucks, you're all right. But only on road trips and vacation." Those were good times. Nothing beats a vente iced Mocha, with caramel sauce at 80mph.
Then my first days of working 8-5. Where else was I to turn at 7am? You saved me many a morning when there was no where else to go. You woke me up. You brought me to life.
Now a days, I try to be a grown up and make my coffee at home. But I still shell out 4 or 5 dollars every now and then for you. And you know what, SB? It's worth it- every ounce of pure, dripped, evil.
Sincerely,
MNH
