The Starbucks Tease...
Okay, I’ll admit it - I have an affinity for Starbucks’ lattes and green tea frappachinos. So much that I keep stopping by our local Target.
Target’s actually come a long way lately with the offering of better pricing. They still carry higher-end items, but they seem to be listening to folks like us. And though I don’t think closing the store-run dining area and replacing it with a Pizza Hut and Starbucks will send the message that Wal-Mart and K-Mart devotees should convert, it would certainly cut my drive time for a tasty beverage by about 10 minutes.
Not that I’m addicted to Starbucks. I really only go when we’re in the vicinity of one already. Today, though, I had quite a craving and it was just across the parking lot of where we had dined for a late lunch. Unfortunately, it’s not open yet, and silly me, I keep forgetting the date of March 5th. This has to be the fourth time I’ve walked into Target just to see if the coffee shop is open for business. Each time I’m reminded that there’s time to go yet.
Ahh, Starbucks. I know it’s expensive, but note that there are only two beverate items I prefer (regular coffee for me? Dunkin’ Donuts or gourmet made at home). And when the cravings there, I best fulfill it.
No, I didn’t drive ten more minutes. I came home and whipped up my own cool coffee concoction. Craving semi-fulfilled.
