9 ANNOYING THINGS THAT HAPPEN AT STARBUCKS

I do not indulge in Starbucks everyday. I usually have a k-cup or tea but on road trips, vacations and once, sometimes twice a week, I make the trip and enjoy the treat.

Depending on your age, location and occupation, Starbucks can either be the best place on Earth or the worst. While they do serve delicious, whipped caffeine when you need it the most, they also tend to be a little overpriced and packed with interesting subjects. Some of us do crazy things at Starbucks like deviate from your normal skinny tall to gasp.., a Venti with 2%. 

There also are times in which your taste buds will ignore and defy the weather, leading to you ordering iced drinks during the winter and hot beverages in the summer on numerous occasions. However these things are not annoying but the bottom 9 can be. See if you can relate or picture it. 

1. When the Barista spells your name obnoxiously wrong. How do you confuse Andrea for Android? Who's named that? Do I look like a phone?

2. When the person in front of you just can't get it together with their fancy drink order. Dear guy ordering the venti decaf soy vanilla latte with extra foam, two pumps of mocha syrup, one pump hazelnut and light whipped cream: WHY?

3. When you ask for a small and the Barista laughs and says, "You mean a tall?" OK I DIDN'T PROPERLY STUDY MY STARBUCKS LINGO and referenced a normal size chart instead. SORRY. 

4. When they ask you if you want whipped cream on your frapp. Um, DUH!

5. When you hear the price and you almost pass out. But then you still go back time and time again because Starbucks is your Drug. Admit it.

6. When you've been daydreaming about your favorite pastry all day and they run out by the time you get there. But, but, where are the chocolate croissants?  Yes, this marks a sad, sad day for all of us, so then on a hopeful note you try ordering a sandwich, but guess what? They’re out of everything except the boring egg and cheese one. 

  7. When you order something and the person behind you orders something better and you wish you got that instead. Dang, that sounds soooo good.

8. You'll be caught in the background of 1-25 pictures of peoples coffee. Don’t worry, it will run through an Instagram filter, which could even make a pile of horse manure look magical.

9. When the line is out the door. Seriously, why is the Starbucks line always so freaking long? And the drive-thru is 10 miles long too. So you stick with inside ordering only to find the girl in front of you, on her way to Yoga, has a detailed list of 8 different drinks for her little friends. Really?

But then you'll still go back tomorrow or in my case, next week. 
Oh the small luxuries of life!

And Let's admit this: we do all have pictures either of our Starbucks concoctions or holding one, if not, both. Here is a favorite one of my husbands of me and my java. If you look close, it looks like I have a lip ring but don't worry mom, it is just the reflection off the Traverse Bay.
