Bring the Boys Back Home - What's It Going to be then, Eh?

Wed 19 Oct 2005

Bring the Boys Back Home
Weight: 208 Workout: 3 Mile Run I didn't push it to 6.0 today. I thought it might be a good idea not to over do it. The shoulder is still tender. I can't really tell if it's any better or not yet. I got some Alieve on the way in to work. That seems to help. I have thoughts about my starbucks experience yesterday that I will probably post later. So yesterday when I ordered my delicious latte the helpful starbucks employee explained the correct method for saying what I want. I asked for "A grande vanilla latte with 3 shots and 1 sweet & low with skim" He smiled and said "that would be a grande non-fat triple vanilla latte 1 sweet and low." I didn't think much of it at the time. But then as I was driving to work I recalled a little pamphlet deal that Jen got from startbucks titled "Make it your own drink" or something like that. Basically it is a training manual on how to say "I would like a pretentious fancy coffee drink please." Just what is it they are trying to do here. Is this the start of the starbucks takes over the world phase of their existence? Sure it starts simple like this. Here is the best way to order your drink. It makes things go smoother and you get your crac^H^H^H^H coffee faster. But what's next. This is the way that we think you should dress, this is what you should listen to, kill the non-caffenated. Scary stuff, or maybe I've been watching too much Lost. But if McDonalds starts suggesting better ways to order a value meal I'll now I'm on to something!
