BUT the info on registering the cards is good to know, as my husband always gets gift cards there from his students at Christmas and end of year that he love to use.

Although there are only three that I usually use when I allow myself my crack. There was a barista at one of them that we called the Starbucks Nazi (ala Seinfeld's Soup Nazi), and it wasn't because he was mean, but he was mid-Eastern and would holler out the drinks in his thick aggressive accent, except to those regulars he knew...then he just handed your drink to you very seriously and repeated the drink name in a normal speaking voice (instead of using a greeting). He was awesome. I miss him. And the honey lattes...who knew they were for a limited time? *sigh* But I guess I'll have to get that card and see if I can't rationalize more frequent visits to Starbucks.Wineplzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412881827548705342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-63747212788957247392008-07-04T17:15:00.000-04:002008-07-04T17:15:00.000-04:00Happy 4th Of July to you and your family.

And even with that, I only get it when its really, truly cold here. <BR/><BR/>That might explain why I heard a news story that Starbucks is closing something like 600 stores. <BR/><BR/>(not my lack of patronage, specifically, just the lack of cold weather in this desert!)The Sports Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975653596215246648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-86011786302667511302008-07-04T00:24:00.000-04:002008-07-04T00:24:00.000-04:00Oh, this is NOT good news.

The Starbucks I frequent by my lawschool has this incredibly tall, vast, VERY VERY gay man who says, "Have a delicious day" in the gayest voice you can imagine when he gives me my coffee. Not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just really funny when you see it in person.KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236206776336550381noreply@blogger.com
