Starbucks Relativity

As being fellow Barista in the Starbucks Golden Chain there is a few things in which I get annoyed about when people talk about Starbucks. This is to defend the chain of store I work in (Fair enough I think), things said like Costa or Coffee #1 is better . Well as it says in the name, Costa 'costs' a lot more than Starbucks and Coffee #1 is just a very small chain of coffee shop, doesn't account for.

Although one of very few things I do agree with about Starbucks is that there are flipping loads of them around. In Cardiff, I can count at least 10 possibly more, but defending them again, it does provide the service to customers of wherever you go there will always be a Starbucks near. And looking on that Wide Web I did come across a very funny, possibly factual and defiantly amusing (certainly the caption below the image) picture summing up what one thing about Starbucks.

The worst time.

Sometimes people do somethings at the worst times, like buying a DVD and then the next day it goes on sale. But it's worse when you do it for a good reason. So why does it have to happen to me.
Recently, being good, I have given up for lent the thing I crave the most, Starbucks. I am a lover of Starbucks having my Frappuccinos, Lattes and everything else. So being good I thought that it would be something good to give up for lent. Well what a stupid thing to do.
Since I have been on lent, Starbucks in total have sent me three letters giving me vouchers and a free sample of their new Instant coffee andin inviting me to a Starbucks store and doing a taste test then getting a free drink. And on top of that they have introduced a new key chain sized Starbucks card.
Now their are a few conclusions which I have come to from this. One, someone somewhere is really really testing me ( I think you know who I mean). Two, that I really have Starbucks way to often to even say that the couple of years ago when I gave up Chocolate, Sweets and Biscuits, it was easier than giving up Starbucks. And last the moment it is Easter I will be in a Starbucks drinking my lovely Frappuccino once and for all.
And thinking of the day Jesus resurrected
