    Reclaim the Mystery

    I heard someone say this.  The context of the conversation was how we live such public lives.  We do live our lives on Facebook and Twitter.  We spend times posting everything.  We share what sandwich we eat.  We share how we are feeling when we are standing in line when…

    SKCDL

    Awhile ago, I wrote about what your starbucks drink says about you. This is what I have been drinking these days.  I use my gold card so I get an .80 discount for the milk or the flavor or something.  Typically, this drink only costs 2.55.  Not bad for a…

    First World Problems 2

    I saw this hashtag again this morning.  I wrote about it once before here.  There are people in the world without running water or flushing toilets, but we have first world problems such as: – The barista at Starbucks is taking too long. – I can’t find my charger for…

  • What Does Your Starbucks Drink Say About You?

    What Does Your Starbucks Drink Say About You?

    I didn’t realize how much I write about Starbucks until I did a search for Starbucks posts on my blog.  As much as I rip on Starbucks for continually serving Pike, I do spend alot of time there – and consequently drink alot of their coffee. I was wondering about…

    #Starbucks and their Crappy Service

    I was at a Starbucks today.  There was no one in line.  I sat there as a young lady kept cleaning as I stood there waiting to be served.  I stood there for awhile then someone else came by and asked if I needed help.  If I wasn’t buying a…

  • I Hate Pikes #Starbucks

    I Hate Pikes #Starbucks

    I can’t even tell you why.  I know that I’m allowed to hate it, but it’s like the default bean for Starbucks.  I’ve tried it many ways, but for whatever reason, I just can’t stand it. What I do love though is that even though I hate Pikes, I can…

  • Starbucks Wisdom @Starbucks

    Starbucks Wisdom @Starbucks

    I don’t normally connect with the wisdom of the advertising at @Starbucks, but a few days ago, I came across this sign at Starbucks. I loved it.  I guess I wasn’t expecting it, but then when I thought about it more, I realized the wisdom of it.  Of course, if…

  • Sharing in the Laughter

    On a recent flight I experienced the most wonderful thing.  It was early morning and I hadn’t finished my Starbucks coffee yet.  I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone – even though the lady next to me tried to engage in a conversation. I just fell asleep.  For…

  • The Third Place and Digital Space

    The Third Place and Digital Space

    Evidently, Starbucks (The third place) wants to also bring together that and the digital space.  You can read their news article on their site here. Not bad right?  When their customers say we want a simplified wifi offering – on MyStarbucksIdea.com, they listened.  It’s always nice when the company listens…

  • Starbuckian Dialects

    each starbucks location has different starbuckian dialects

  • Starbuckian #starbucks

    How’s your Starbuckian?  If you’ve worked at Starbucks – you don’t count.  You get/got paid to speak and understand it.  But for the rest of us that haven’t worked at Starbucks ever – how’s you’re Starbuckian. Did you know that there are 55,000 variations of coffee drinks that you can…
