Afternoons at Starbucks
I'm at Starbucks today, where I just got my free drink with my rewards membership. This rewards membership is the best thing ever and a master stroke of loyalty marketing. Last year I tripped all over myself trying to get 30 stars so I could get the gold card, and now I live for the days where I get enough stars to get a free drink. You know why? Cause when I have a free drink I don't get my normal skinny caramel latte. When I have a free drink I splurge on a VENTI SKINNY CARAMEL LATTE WITH AN EXTRA SHOT. Which today I learned they call a TRIPLE VENTI. I now feel very hyped up, and it's awesome, and I'd do it all the time if it wasn't like $6 a pop. This makes me think that if it were easier to get drugs, maybe I'd do it. Who knows?? Being hyper like this reminds me of being a preteen, and how my friend Katie believed orange foods had a chemical impact on her mood. She'd shove Cheetos in her face and laugh maniacally, and I thought it was the best thing ...
