Out of place

Our little country town finally got a Starbucks in our newly remodeled Hy-Vee grocery store. I can't stand coffee or anything related to it, but my wife loves their drinks so while I was taking her car for a gas & wash she asked me to stop there. I'm not sure why, but I've never felt more like an out-of-place country hick in my life as I stood in line. The local young'uns where everywhere!! :oldfogey:

Golfer,
I feel the same way but for a different reason. The rare time I go to Starbucks, it's to get a cup of plain ol' joe. No fancy shmancy drinks with names that serve as tongue twisters. I get the feeling people are looking at me as if I'm out of my mind and positively out of place because I had the audacity to get a plain ol' boring cup of coffee. Robert

I have a friend who makes me stop at every Starbucks when we go on a road trip. She even makes me go across town and out of the way. It really offends me and makes me despise Starbucks people more every time.

Someday I'll have to visit a Starbucks to see what the big deal is.

Not a big 'bucks fan, but on a hot afternoon, a cold brew is great!

Never been in a SB but I had a neighbor who was an assistant mgr.
The work stories she used to tell were a hoot. She also did not speak kindly about her customers. Words like @holes, losers, pompous, morons, and arrogant were in abundant use. Sadly she moved away after getting her MS degree and went to MIT for her doctorate; DARPA Grant all the way!

I was in a SB with my 24 yo daughter and had to ask her what to call just plain coffee. She said an Americano. I rolled my eyes and she understood completely.
