Well I am a venti skim sugar free van...Who are you? Well I am a venti skim sugar free vanilla latte,hellooo? And who are you? Me? Well a venti skim super dry cappuccino, duh! And that's how the Starbucks story goes. You have a personality? I have a drink to match it -- enhance it, make it your own. I've never met anyone else who was a venti skim dry cappuccino...have you ever met someone else with your same drink at SB> Responsible or not in this whole arena of having things mean something, SB has it covered. In my travels I often hit the Miami airport and I am just waiting for the immigration line to move along -- which by the way as a side note you should do something on personality and looks for those working immigration lines in the US (MIA being up there) -- so I can get my fix. I make a b-line to the one lousy stand existing at terminal C at MIA and I wait, and I wait and I wait and I don't care how many are in front I still wait. To get my own personal drink that will cost me more than any cup of coffee should cost but I wait because it's me, because it's mine, and because in the green, white and black I see the so red white and blue.Hmmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18174997156663005590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1667746731218068847.post-45750857704955573052008-05-15T05:13:00.000-07:002008-05-15T05:13:00.000-07:00Responsibility be damned! I think their coffee is ...Responsibility be damned! I think their coffee is good and I will splurge for one, (just black coffee, nothing more) every couple months. Miraculously in my daily travels I am able to avoid encountering a Starbucks. Or, perhaps they are buried behind the plethora of Dunkin' Donuts that are like a plague around these parts and I can't see them. So large turbo black for me please! Talk about responsibility? There is more debris with the pink and orange colors of DD blowing around this city than any other single company. They could care less about the pollution of our streets as long as folks are getting their bowtie on.<BR/><BR/>If only there were more Peet's available. Now that's good coffee.Russ Bowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615135283596786004noreply@blogger.com
