Grande Hot Mocha for Hazel!
I used to hear this DAILY when I was still working for my former company. I'm not exactly a starbucks shmuck, but it's open 24 hours on our building and I don't really have the patience to keep brewing coffee
Besides, I love mocha and if I don't have patience brewing my own coffee, how can I possibly be making my own Mocha drink?
At 4 in the morning after about 6 hours of staring at your excel sheet figuring out pivot tables and formulas, you'd need a cup of hot coffee, shot of esprsso or in my case, mocha.
Baristas know me already by face AND by drink. I come in there and all they need to do is verify if I'm having the same and it's all in front of me, punched in on the register and all in a matter of minutes. There are also the regular drinkers from the company whom I see at around the same time but what I don't get is they drink Frappuccino's instead of a hot cuppa joe!
I love coffee... since time immemorial coffee's been loved HOT. Now big commercialized coffee shops (errr.. i.e. Starbucks?) have created so many fancy coffee that the essence of real coffee's lost. Besides, they have WAaaaayyy more calories in there!
I never liked frappuccinos even when I was going to starbucks back in college (which is I think their market for these 'ccinos). The only frappuccino I really like is their Green Tea Frappuccino which isn't really coffee
DID YOU KNOW?
Frappuccino is the name and registered trademark of a Starbucks blended ice beverage and a bottled coffee beverage.
Care to have a cappuccino? We have a fresh batch of beans today
Oh and I'm experimenting on a Raspberry Cheesecake, care to try?

I used to frequent that place also - being a grande, iced, no-whip, mocha person in the summer... and a grande soy, no-whip, mocha or caramel macchiato, in the colder months. Thankfully, I've gotten over my caffeine addiction, but occassionally make my way to 4bucks when a craving kicks in. Fun post by the way... keep'em coming!

Well, quite but not quite.
I work for a call center here in the Philippines, servicing American companies.
I take it you deduced from my "excel sheets, pivot and formulas" with your assumptions of my work
I do a lot of reports and analysis for clients and team development
either way COFFEE is my bestfriend!

It's fun and it's a very busy industry but it gets the best of you (which is part of why I quit anyway
