Some people call me a creep
Today while at a Starbucks near the town I live in, I overheard two older ladies trying to place an order. Now, placing an order should not be hard. These ladies made placing an order a lot harder than it should have been. "Uhhhhhh, does this drink have coffee in it? How about this drink? Which drinks do and don't have coffee in them?" said one of the ladies in line. Now while standing there watching these ladies order, I am thinking in my head "Honestly it is freakin' Starbucks, almost everything has coffee in it!" These ladies were looking for a drink without coffee in it. Now, I understand Starbucks has these frozen frappa nonsense, and some non coffee drinks;but if you don't want coffee in your drink do not go to a coffee shop to get a drink. Five minutes go by, the ladies are still looking for something without coffee. I overhear one of the ladies say to the overly-annoyed cashier, "I am just not sure what to pick. Can you tell me again what has coffee and what doesn't?" Ok, now I know there is something called patience, but that only goes so far. Again, Starbucks is a coffee shop. There are probably only a little more than a handful of items on the menu without coffee in them. The ladies didn't want any of fruit beverages, that Starbucks offers. So, what do these ladies want?If these ladies really wanted a non-coffee beverage, maybe they should try a different place of service. Better yet, these ladies should learn to drink from a hose, it is free. After almost fifteen minutes these ladies finally order, and the now backed up line can finally move along.
