There’s Trouble Brewing

Here’s the thing, Starbucks.  You can’t go implementing ridiculous policies that put the words “slow down” and “making coffee” in the same sentence.  Not when it means the line is 20+ people deep during the morning rush. 

Exhibit A:  This morning’s line (worth noting that I took this photo from an identically long line at the other cash register).  It’s a bad picture, I know — it’s from my Blackberry, and it’s blurred probably because my uncaffeinated hands were trembling.  But you get the idea.  This is clearly not a photography blog.

Read about the Starbucks nonsense here.

Yeah, it’s my own fault that I let you sucker me into waiting 10 minutes every morning for the privilege of paying you $4 for a coffee — we all have our vices.  And I need the caffeine in ways you probably spell out in your core business model, so I keep coming back.  I come back even though you wrap lines around like an amusement park ride every morning.  I come back even when you screw up my $4 drink. 

But now, this.  It won’t do.  Please work it out.  I don’t know how, but I do know that it involves water and milk and steam and coffee beans — not aerodyanmics or Middle Eastern politics.  Surely you can find a way to keep the caffeine flowing.  Quickly.
