We got a Starbucks.
The Starbucks is located just inside the front of the Ingles grocery store. It opened up a few days ago, and today was the first day I'd been there since it opened, so I got to witness it in operation for the first time.
Anyway, it was just amusing to me to see the crowd of folks all standing there waiting to order their cute li'l mocha-locha-mekka-lekka-hiney-ho lattes (or whatever the heck kind of foo-foo drinks it is that they serve there). I mean, I was there at like, 6:30 PM, and people were ordering coffee. I for one, can't imagine drinking coffee at any time during the day other than breakfast (unless you're freezing to death and desperate to get warm, or about to fall asleep and desperate to be awake). I told Jamie that the people that were drinking coffee that late were 1) going to be up all night, 2) going to be peeing all night, and 3) will have to take a dump first thing in the morning. (And on a side note, getting fat on all those sugary, doctored-up foofie coffee drinks)! :/
The funniest thing to me, however, was what we noticed that had been attached to the shopping buggies. Evidently, to accommodate all the new Starbucks-coffee-drinking-whilst-grocery-shopping patrons, the grocery store had hired someone to haphazardly spot-weld little circles of metal to the fronts of all the buggies, to make convenient impromptu little cupholders for all those Starbucks cups! LOL!
