Hubby Tony and were out running errands and decided we needed a mid-afternoon jolt of caffeine. We knew that a nearby Target store had a Starbucks cafe inside, and my Starbucks card Was loaded with plenty of money, so we popped in to get a cup to share. There were five people ahead of us in line, and I had to use the bathroom, so I gave my card to Tony and went to take care of business.
When I came back he was still waiting with two people ahead of him. (There was only one barista visible and she was doing it all.) We waited patiently until it was our turn, then asked for a Grande black coffee. The barista smiled, then with an apologetic tone to her voice she explained she couldn't help us; their coffee machine was out of order.
Five years ago today: WHAT?
They should have put a sign up
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a good idea!
DeleteOuch.... DId you at least get a complimentary petite vanilla scone?
ReplyDeleteNo. Is that something they do?
DeleteReally!
ReplyDeleteTarget Starbucks are rather faux stores. Most people who come into those places are looking for something sweet, not real coffee.
ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting, and I know you're a Starbucks expert.
