Love/Hate

For the past year now, I felt I was pretty good about avoiding Starbucks. And really, everyone should find at least one reason to avoid Starbucks. 1) It’s a hassle because the line is long. After all, everyone else is doing it. 2) It may not worth the hassle when they screw up your order (and they do it WAY to often to me) 3) It’s expensive. We all know it but it bears repeating and 4) We shouldn’t be dependent on some pricey drink every morning.

So why this entry? I have found myself giving in more and more to the Starbucks machine. It certainly doesn’t help that I work near one (Okay, who doesn’t?) In the past two months, I have been ordering a doppio just because I think I need ‘something.’ I figured it would be okay to have once in a while, but now it’s happening way too often. Heaven help me if it gets to the point when the barista tells me my name and my order before I utter it.
