I know what you mean, Cougar. It's amazing to me that the same people who complain about $2.50/gal for gas are willing to shell out $30/gal for a stupid cup of coffee. :confused:

Not me, I hate the taste of Starbucks. I just stop by the local 7-11 and pay $0.85 for a refill for my travel mug.

I think you'd be better off drinking the gas at $2.50/gal.

I'm going to make a full snob confession on my preferences.

1) Buy 'em green and roast my own. Use a coffee maker that brews at a separate temp than the little hot pad that keeps the pot warm - not easy to find but not necessarily expensive.

2) A good Mom & Pop-type place that roasts on site or at least knows what they are doing.

3) Starbucks in a pinch *gag* (not on the coffee but the idea)

If I'm unconscious, please feel free to throw the 7-11 coffee on to revive me but try to avoid the mouth region.

7-11 coffee? Come on ref, you're killing me! ;)

Gag at what idea?

- The worst I resort to is sarcasm. It's annoying, it makes the crowd laugh and it's impossible to rationally 'T.' Use sparringly.
================================================== ====
So, showing up an official to the crowd by using sarcasm is impossible to "T" rationally? Guess what, the other half of the crowd will be laughing if you do that around here.

It just kind of rubs me the wrong way how they have taken the idea of a local hang-out and made it into such a generic, pre-packaged chain every half mile. If the market suppports it, so be it.

I also hate the way they correct you if you try to order a small, medium or large instead of venti, grande, etc. If I want to learn Italian it will be to order a nice meal or travel Europe, not to order a coffee and a pretentious muffin. Just pet peeve stuff.

I think you'll enjoy this informative announcement :D : http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29030

Oddly, I've never been corrected. Maybe my "official's" demeanor comes out and I'm intimidating or something.

I'd save a lot of thinking and typing if I would just remember to paste links to The Onion. :D
