now I'm not a coffe person, but about 4-5 years ago, I was duck hunting with a buddy, his truck would not start, so we walked about 6 miles after dark in the rain, temps just above freezing, wind blowing 25+ mph.( yeah it was fun)  We come to a star bucks, we both walk in, guns still on our shoulders. Now I had never heard of star bucks, but I'm cold, wet and muddy.  

" I want a black coffee"
they go into thier stick about this or that.
after about 30 seconds my buddy says, very loudly...
" we want it hot, black and now"

Now up until that point, ever one was talking/ reading... etc.  no one had noticed us walk in with guns over our shoulders.

you could have heard a pin drop, it was silent for along time.

I really think we made a yuppie or two wet thier pants.

OK TAB,

I need to know the planet you are from that didn't have a Starbucks on every corner? I want to move there. :)

PS    I do like your story.

Starbucks= $5 for a cup of "screen door" coffee...........no thanks.




*Screen Door coffee= coffee that causes you to be able to crap through a screen door an hour after you drink it.

Mickey D's is a reconstituted syrup.  To me it always tastes burnt.  However, when on the road early in the morning it is either C stores, Mickey D's or drive in the ditch.  Non of the three are good choices.

And that's saying a lot......considering all the 'other' beverages you've purported to have swilled.    ;)

I don't drink coffee, so I would not know.  Just lots of coffee drinkers say its good.  I've not been in one for 15 years, its been almost 20 since I've eaten anything from them.

I drive by at least ten DD every day, and I MEAN drive by!

DD coffee is nasty stuff....we use the stores to navigate by in the N.East and use the stale donuts to prop up tables and chairs that are missing legs....

Yuck!
