Starbucks everywhere




SEMA....

There was a Starbucks not to far from the booth, but what is up with the price of everything almost double what it is at a normal Starbucks? And when I tried to order a Venti Americano in a Tall cup, the guy just gave me that "I'm soooo confused" look. So I tried to order it in more simple terms, "four shots with just a little water for color". This just made matters worse. In the end I just received a Venti. I as a rule don't like the Venti as it's as tall as I am and makes it hard to drink.

And in support of the glorious Hamster, please go vote for him and his new World Order at the Ellen Degeneres web site.

vote: Hamster

Write in: Wicked Hamster

As the TKW says "Vote now and Vote often"

You mean double the already double price they charge for things?

So like... the normal grande price of $3.55 would now be about $7?

So... I'd be looking for a water fountain near the restrooms. :)

My normal $2.00 drink was $5.00 and food that runs $1.75 to $2.80 where I live was running as much as #4.50 to $5.50.

I really don't understand how Starbucks continues to grow. They have a good product, but thier prices are top of the market and their serivice is marginal to terrible. Double the price and I'd be with Merit looking for water.

oh, GammaK now you are taunting the poor WC - he would find 5 hours stuck in traffic with "those" cars a religious experience LOL!

Everytime I look at this picture I think of stuffin' the WC in a Starbucks cup to see if I can get $5.50 for him . . .

Wild cow and Druish Deities

I have been blessed with being able to drive some of the most unbelievable roads ever paved. Last week I found myself on HWY 108 in Central California. 130 Miles 26% grade 9624 at the summit 4 hours to drive this route This photo is looking west just down from the summit. I could live here with the wild cows. A lone wild cow at the 9000 foot level just making sure that nobody is speeding along.

Madison, WI.

The whole theme today was a Woodchuck and his ale. I found a nice little place in downtown Madison, WI. called the Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company. This was one of the best IPAs I've had east of the Rockies. Fun little place to go and the food was not to bad either. Traveling the Globe...ok, just the North American continent in search of the perfect pint on IPA. Hops, they are not just for breakfast anymore.
