Anonymous cup of coffee

*****The name of this particular, well known coffee company has been changed. The bottom line. They can make me disappear in the night, to be found under under a pile of coffee grounds.

I was hit with an news onslaught about "Tarbucks" coffee. It was on the radio in the paper, all over the AP wire...

After hearing complaints from customers about their coffees, "Tarbucks" is telling its baristas to stop making more than two drinks at a time and to take other steps that might slow things down a bit when you're waiting in line for your latte, the Wall Street Journal reports.

THIS IS HEADLINE NEWS?!?!?!?

If you care this much to be upset, then they own you.
It is a small step before you are turning tricks for "Tarbucks".

It should not be a big deal that they are slowing down to get you your coffee. Hell, I can't believe that they even get your long ass order correct. "Non-fat, half-calf, three pump, four shot....."

You have lost sight of what is important.

You are paying five bucks for a cup of coffee. You idiot.
That is what you should be pissed about. Not that they can't pour it down your throat as you drive by. It's only coffee. If it means that much to you, get off your fat ass and make it yourself. This is why other countries hate us. There is an 8 year old with bloody fingers, sewing buttons on your 100 dollar jeans, for a bowl of rice a day (nod to Jello Biafra)...

I hope this makes you feel better for complaining. Now, pour yourself a big heaping cup of "shut the hell up."

  1. Having your baristas slow down makes sense: if I was willing to pay as much as they charge for coffee, which I am not, I'd want it to be right. I'd assume focusing on only one or two drinks at a time would mean they'd be able to make more drinks correctly which, again, makes good business sense. Now on to something important! Wait...all other news right now is about politicians. Bummer.
