My Starbucks Relationship is Jaded :(

The little starbucks GODDESS on the logo failed me today! Driving into work on a Monday am is never something I am joyous about....it signifies the true end to ones weekend.....but alas.....it's my current reality......so I suck it up. (so to speak).

This wonderful, 100 degree Phoenix am I entertained "zipping' thru the new Starbbucks drivethru that has been added to my normal drive route.

Now, one would think that 'drivethru' would imply a quicker buying experience?? as prior establishments have demonstrated (Micky-d's, Wendy's etc. )this to be a wonderful way to drive and dine.

That was my first mistake as Buddha would say......"expectations create disappointments!" . WHEN WILL I FULLY EMBRACE ALL THE TEACHINGS???....not just the ones that "fit" into my day?!?!? LOL

I digress....sorry....

So...the SUV in front of me had to have ordered caffeine for a multitude of individuals....as her order was now at 7 minutes !! .......That didnt really irk me ...as I understand the call of caffeine. The part that did irk me, however, .......was that as I inched closer to my reward (VENTI, SOY, caramel Machiatto, extra shot) .....I watch as the barrista makes it with COW juice !!.... EW!
then realizes what she has done....stops to talk to other aproned individuals about it.....and SLOWLY restart my drink......AGH!!!

15 minutes later.......yes.....15 minutes later (not counting the single 7 minute drink the SUV'er bought)........I'm on my way......

LONG story short ?!?!? THE DRIVE THRU is not quicker............its just LAZY.....ok....Im going to drink my coffee and munch my crumbcake.....and get on with my day............Ranting officially over.
