The Starbucks Experience

Also, each time you use your Starbucks card, you get a gold star, and after 15 stars, you get a free drink of any kind. (Obviously, I LOVE Starbucks. )

I like the atmosphere of most coffee shops, but the quality of coffee, for me, has to be strong, which is why I ONLY visit Starbucks now. I don't drink fraps, mocha lattes, etc. Shops like Cups, Seattle Drip and Sneaky Beans are here in my town, and while I enjoy the atmosphere of these little shops, the coffee is lacks the kick Starbucks coffee has.

It's funny how hooked I am on their coffee now, because when I first tried Starbucks coffee, I nearly gagged. It was waaaaayyy too strong. But I noticed how well I was able to concentrate on my studies while sipping. However, what did it for me was the day I had a terrible headache, but knew I desperately needed to do some studying, so I got a tall coffee and suddenly, as I began sipping my brew, my headache vanished! Can you say "crack in a coffee cup"?

See, I don't get all into the coffee card program they got there. I just like to fill my cup up and bounce. That's too much work and confusion doing it with a card LOL. I don't know why I would need a card to get some free refills. I wonder why they don't want to compete with their competitors and give out free refills.

You just like to pay one time, filling your cup up throughout the entire year, using the same cup.

LOL dude wasn't specific, though. He didn't get specific until he saw that I kept filling my cup up and leaving for months. Then after I got into it with dude, he put a sign up. As long as they are specific and detailed about the shit, I won't have a problem with it, and I'll follow the rules.

This brings up an interesting tangent though. I didn't know up until a few months ago that you could get free refills on beverages if you dine in at fast food restaurants, those that give you the cup and let you get it yourself--McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Burger King, etc..

I rarely ever "eat-in" at fast food restaurants but was astonished to know that you could get free refills. I always figured you pay once, you drink once.

Well, I don't eat fast-food so, I wouldn't know much about how they do things at those places, but I do love Dairy Queen. As far as I know of, the Dairy Queen I go to doesn't have free refills. It's just that they've never given me a self-serve cup, so I wouldn't know. I think Dairy Queen might be a franchise so, maybe they're not all the same.
