A couple of weeks ago I went to Starbucks to get my daily coffee. My boyfriend was with me and he stayed in the car while I got my coffee. When I got back in the car he told me he discovered why I was so infatuated with Starbucks coffee. He said I looked like Siren the logo for Starbucks. I could not help but laugh because she does resemble me a tiny bit. But his statement made me wonder. Why am I so infatuated with Starbucks coffee? I am aware that it is my comfort drink. Every morning I go to work I am comforted buy my coffee. I am aware that no matter what happens that day; the day will go by. Starbucks coffee makes me excited. The experience of having someone else brew my coffee and carefully serve it me makes me feel special. The idea of having a pretty little gold card and paying for my coffee just makes me feel good. That is why so many of us enjoy eating out. It makes us feel special to order whatever our hearts desire and having someone else serve us. Some of you reading will say I am totally buying into Starbucks marketing. But I see it as my special gift I give myself everyday for working hard. Now don’t think I am a princess and I only drink Starbucks coffee; even though some people have said that about me. I actually love seven eleven coffee and I think paying 1.00 dollar for coffee if you bring your own cup; is great.
you forgot to mention how you remember destinations by whether they r close to a starbucks :)
