Lance: Yeah, I cruise in sometimes before a workout, get myself energized

Brittney: He comes in every single morning and orders a Half-Caf Frapachino mixed with a Tazo Tea latte, 7 pumps, no fat, no foam, no sugar, while he looks for a job because his mother wants him out of her basement.

Lance: Sometimes I get a muffin

Brittney: He likes blueberry, it's the only fruit in his diet.

Lance: If I have the time, I will read the paper.

Brittney: He sits in an French Provincial Chair and has the Wall Street Journal on top of his Archie Comic book.

Lance: I am Lance Bergman and my Starbucks is at Yorkville

Brittney: and I am his Barista.


PUKE!!!

First of all, Starbucks, like Krispy Kreme will be out of Canada with the next wave of fads when we realize that it's not trendy to spend $7.00 on a drink and a muffin.

I worked with, what I can only refer to as an wasteful use of oxygen, named Ann.
She loved her Starbucks and I made up a combination that pays homage to her skinny assed "I want to be trendy because it makes me feel like I have friends" drink

Even when we had to go to the US for business, she bought this combination and it was $4.59 US at the time, I have no idea what it is now. I haven't been in a Starbucks (from the Latin meaning you have to be a Star to have the bucks to afford this crap) ever, and they don't put prices on their website (probably because it would require a long integer).

Let's just say that this beverage is about that price and given their expensive price for coffee, I assume their food products are the same, so let's call it $7.00. (Second Cup costs $3.33 for Hot Chocolate too)

Lance goes in everyday to be one of the beautiful people.
By the way, $7x5 = $35 and $35x52 = $1820.00

You see, Lance spends more on Starbucks than I do on Auto Insurance AND property Insurance COMBINED.

And ya know those comfy chairs, well, you are paying for them. You are paying through the nose for all that trendy crap and what does that poor Barrista get, probably minimum wage.
You pay for the paper, you pay for the Tazo, you pay for the use of the term Latte.

What you get though, is just the same in the end, had you gone to Tim Horton's, something that ends up in the septic system.
But, you get to keep most of your money, because a coffee at Timmy's, costs about $1.25

And that probably saves $4.50 a day (at Timmie's) and let's face it, that's $1170 a year. Enough to buy your own arm chair and a subscription to Archie.
