Starbucks
#1
I ran into my cousin today while running some errands and we started to talk and he said lets get some coffee, so I say sure.

He insists we go to starbucks, I never been to starbucks, I had the canned stuff they sell at groceries and such but never been to an actual starbucks.

I say i'd rather have an iced coffee and I like the one at dunkin donuts, they are both within 2 blocks of eachother. But he insists I must try it, so I figure well might as well try it once see what the fuss is.

So we go and amazingly I was really wrong about the starbucks closing down within a month, somehow they are still open. Naturally its empty, no one besides the employees and this was around lunchtime. The fried chicken place across the street is packed, we pass by dunkin donuts it was packed but starbucks is empty.

So he orders his coffee and I have no clue what all these fuckin things mean, I tell him gimme whatever my cousin got.

I don't fuckin get the deal, it was like 4.50 for a cup of coffee, and the coffee wasnt that great, it was almost bitter to be honest.

I do not get the big deal that people make over starbucks. Is it the fact that its the hip place to go or cause it shows some sort of status in society? Cause it sure as fuck ain't the good coffee.

I made him buy me a wonderful iced coffee at dunkin donuts for a 1.75 and it was 100 times better.

I just buy 7-11 coffee. I don't get why people are so into buying tall, grande, supergrande overpriced crap, and so much so that they build Starbucks across the street from Starbucks. Is it about the whole "ooh, I can actual sit down somewhere and drink coffee!" atmosphere, or the whole psuedo-intellectual "They let me read books in here! (yes, the ones that they are selling me in the front of the Barnes and Noble which the Starbucks is in." It's not even as efficient as 7-11. I can pour my own coffee, put in all the milk I want, all the sugar I want, I can mix n match, shit, I can cool it off with some blueberry Slurpee. And it's 1.50 for a 24
